2000/10/08 NSXCA East Bay Tour drive
π 2000-10-08 00:00 by Merlin in Cars
I picked up a lift and joined an NSXCA drive, which was great. Thanks to Keith for organizing it.
If I had a real garage and $50k, I'd buy a 1995 Targa NSX :-)

Betsy and Tom are to thank for organizing this great drive through the Wine country. We got to see several wineries, as well as Korbel for genuine champagne (if you wonder about all the flower pictures, we got a detailled tour of the Korbel gardens :-))

2000/10/22 NASA Autocross
π 2000-10-22 00:00 by Merlin in Cars
This was my first autocross with my Miata. It confirmed that I still have a lot to learn about driving :-), but it was a lot of fun indeed...

2000/10/28 BAMA: Halloween Poker Run
π 2000-10-28 00:00 by Merlin in Cars

Shirley and Bernadette and the others who helped are to thank for this event, which was much fun.
A few of us decided that keeping our tops down was a good way to tell the weather that it wasn't time to rain yet, but we didn't exactly succeed. After getting a big drop of water that fell from a tree while driving through the woods, I gave up and put my top up.
Ken and Shirley have to get credit for continuing to drive under the rain with the top down until it started to rain more heavily.
Despite the rain, the event was much fun, and Shirley and Bernadette continued to give us our poker cards at each stop, despite the rain :-).
