Any Cars and Coffee meets in the East Bay

plankton99 · 01-11-2016, 10:10 PM

I was wondering if there were any regular meets in the East Bay.

Thanks.

Ok, the we'll start with two. I live about 10 min north of Berkeley and am willing two get coffee anywhere from walnut creek to Berkeley to Hercules or within a 20 mile radius of Berkeley. Any other takers?

i'll meet up with you guys even though I already traded in my M3

We can do some test runs

ATS-V vs M3/M4

I think Berkeley would be a better location depending on where most bay area drivers live. I'm in Castro Valley area.
Walnut is ideal too.

Berkeley is good but no places I know of to drive. Walnut creek is good

M4 owner here. Would be cool to meet up whether its a big or small meet, always nice to meet other enthusiasts. I'm out in the Brentwood/Oakley area but don't mind driving wherever.

Hey 925_335IS

Yes, so let's do Walnut Creek. So we have 3 possibly 4 people now

Sounds good to me, If the rain ever stops let's set something up.

The forecast is showing SUNNY for Wed, Thur and then again on Sunday.
So I'm think either this Thursday or Sunday.

925_AWM4 · 01-19-2016, 08:40 PM

Either day should work for me.

I take delivery of my car on Thurs... I'm good for Sunday! Walnut Creek is perfect

Gosh, I just moved to the Bay Area so I wouldn't really know too many places... I don't know, Whole Foods parking lot and then we go from there?

Everyone in Cali seems to love Whole Foods!

Also I was going to suggest early morning so we could all grab a coffee and avoid traffic.... thoughts? I do know an excellent coffee place in walnut creek on newell ave

plankton99 · 01-20-2016, 06:14 PM

We could meet at the base of Mt Diablo then drive up to the summit.

here's an article.

FYI: there are a lot of cyclists everywhere on Sunday monrnings, (I cycle so I know), so I dont think we can barrel around the curves.

BigDog · 01-20-2016, 10:28 PM

You guys name the place, i'm a bay area newb!

I should be able to make it as well. On the Mt. Diablo suggestion, having driven up it before, with all the bicyclists I'm not sure if this would be a good idea. Parking can be limited at the very top (I think there is another lot down the hill a little ways), and with all the blind turns and tons of cyclists, it's not the funnest of drives.

I suggest lunch around the Whole food area to meet and greet,there is a small strip mall on San Miguel with a couple of restaurant. Thai,Japanese,Taco bell....
Plenty of parking!

925_AWM4 · 01-21-2016, 10:31 PM

Whole foods is probably a good place to start and we can move on from there if we wish. I'm not picky though and don't have a preference either it's all good to me.

Ok noon it is, do you have an address to plug into the Nav? Thai food sounds good.
