All Forum members are invited to participate in a GT Drive weekend in NorCal on January 28, 29 & 30. We plan on doing the PCH, Wine Country & Bay Area. Lorenzo is flying out West to pick up his car from Shadowman, after having the engine taken apart & put back back together (& other mods), so we want to celebrate by having some cool rides. NorCal has some of the best drives in the USA. We can't do Tahoe & the Sierra Mountains in the winter but the Valleys & Coast are fabulous year round. You are invited to do one day or all 3 days. We already have a few GT owners ready to go.

PS We'll also discuss our NorCal GT Drive for Rally V.

Me too, provided that Ed comes, since I know Ed never drives his FGT in the rain, that is what his Raptor is for.

The wrap may raise some eyebrows but be OK, but using your carry permit in CA would get you in a heap of trouble.

Are you allowed to carry at all? How about with a Utah permit which is supposed be good in nearly every state?

I believe CA respects only CA permits and no others. CCW in most CA counties are near impossible to get. It is up to the local chief or sheriff to decide who get one. The pol*tical sentiment in CA is only nut cases and criminals would want one.

Which is probably exactly the opposite of reality.

Wasn't there a recent Supreme Court Ruling that would help change things?

Hey, don't let the CCW concerns stop you from attending the event. We're only planning on going to safe spots & our official photographer, my friend Kelly, is a cop.

Ed

PS He is a real cop & not a CHP so don't worry about that!

Thanks guys, it sounds like fun but I can't make it up there this time around. I would love to cruise the PCH in the GT. It would be a blast... perfect vacation IMHO. But really, a cruise anywhere with a group of GT Forum folks always equals good times.

Be safe.
