I would just take a second car it the baby is coming along, Mark. I know it is a pain, but it is probably the best case. You can make the seat work as others have but the SC is not really built as a family car. When it comes to my kids, "making it work" for my convenience is not good enough. That's just me.

Mark, I have done it with 2 kids. It is not the most comfortable, but you get used to it after about 15 minutes of driving. Just move the seats forward. My wife is 5'6" and I am 5' 11" we make due.

Just make sure you keep the top up

Well, we have about 3 1/2 weeks until this all SC430 meet.

So far, based on the responses from Rominl's official sign-up thread, I have the following list of CONFIRMED and NOT SURE LIST of names:


CONFIRMED
-------------------------
teeman3
rominl + mimi
pearlpower
damlex
velvet blue
gsxotic
carlo


NOT SURE LIST
--------------------------
dan_K (80% sure, but not sure yet)
jsl757 (80% sure, but not sure yet)
valetlex (not sure yet)
DPRSupra (not sure yet)
garcia2 ( not sure yet)


Anyone else interested?

You know what?.....Regardless if there not many people interested or couldn't come because of schedule conflicts, I'm gonna have a great time because I've never been to S.L.O. before and it would be nice to see the scenery and the coast. We had so much rain here in Norcal for the past several months, this breakaway from the daily stress of life will do me good. I'm not worried about the number of attendees, more is less and less is more, vice a versa.

the total number of people in a group does help in a way with the flow of the activity/event, but also the individual will also benefit the experience of the occasion as well.

So, if there's only a handful, say 5-6 people and they're willing to meet up, I'm still game.
And just maybe, the extra wine bottles that i'm bringing (about 10-12), you could actually get two bottles if nobody shows up.

don't want to spoil the plan, but if we don't have good turn out we might as well just cancel this and have a causal So. Cal. SC meet. Because other than Teeman, I think everyone is So. Cal. So, lets see those people from North want to do this or not. Otherwise, Henry and I can plan something for the So. Cal. members.....

you may be right GSXOTIC. i agree w/ you. Let's see if there's enough interest in NorCal.
if not, then it's SoCal only.

ok, as of today 4/4, i have updated my list in the first post.

still calling for members lisalisa, RMR, GEEBEE, SSK0771, aspguru, dequina, and more!

please let us know even if you can't make it so we have a better idea

also, thanks to gsxotic, i already have hotel list and restaurant list for SLO and dinner in Morro Bay. i still need to find hotel information for Morro Bay since some of you intend to stay on sat night as well.

but let's see if we will have enough people to warrant the meet. how many people you guys think should be the deciding factor?

also, for sat dinner, i am thinking about a bit high class place, probably around 50 bucks a person. is that ok with everyone?

let's make this weekend the deadline on whether or not this meet is a go or no-go. that will only give us 3 weeks before the meet, not much time at all

hey. I'm coming from Nor-Cal way. That makes at least 2.

I already booked the hotel and the wife is game so if the meet get's canceled I'll probably just go ahead anyway. But maybe I would drive the Porsche instead.
