Rick led us with his Mini on Skyline Drive, then to other less-traveled and twistier roads.

The roads were ideal for the Mini, and Rick made sure he didn't get ahead of us!

A brief stop in Pescadero to stretch our legs, and we were off again.

Dinner at Alice's Restaurant after a great two-hour drive.

Early on Monday morning Rick gave us rides in his immaculately restored BMW Isetta. It's a relative rocket ship - the motor is tweaked from the stock 13 HP all the way up to 18 HP. It was a blast!

Me, John & Jeff before heading north. Rick lead us out of Woodside in the Isetta - awesome!

It was early on Labor Day and the traffic was light, and we could see the Golden Gate Bridge. I snapped the one photo right after we parked, before anyone had time to surround the cars. After that, often there were more people looking at the cars than looking at the bridge.

When we got to Napa we met a few interesting cars going the other way.

After touring Rombauer Winery, we went over the hill to Sonoma and met IndyGT's pre-rally group going the other direction. This was the first of five runs we made on Oakville Grade/Dry Creek/Trinity Road.

Dave mentioned the bathrobes earlier. Jeff & John were the first to do the deed early on Wednesday morning before the car show officially started.

Jeff Larson's 100,000-mile cup holder.

I was looking for a trophy for the dirtiest white GT, but there wasn't one.

Bony's former GT arrives.

Cookie shows why she can't drive Gary's Heritage.

Frank's hat.

Camilo taking photos like he's never seen a GT.

Terry only THINKS he has his car parked in the most protected space!

Cookie fits just fine in the GT40, but Gary doesn't!

No, I didn't get up on the ladder to take the overhead photo - Cookie took the World's Heaviest Camera and scampered right up with it!

Behind Alex in his GTX1 in another run over the hill. Ib was riding with me and took this photo. I found out it was his first ride in a GT, so it was a great road for it!

This time over the hill we took a side road that was a little too rough for the GT's, but we got turned around OK.

Terrorizing the Redwoods.

A massive wrong turn.

Lunch stop in Elk, with a 180 degree iPhone panorama of the coastline.

Elk down the coast to Jenner.

Telling lies in the hotel parking lot.

A couple of guys trying to hijack our table at the Mexican restaurant.

Bill discovers the smart phone.

Matt (who now knows his REAL screen name) and Ed.

On Friday on the Road Rally we got stopped by the Wine Train. Jeff & John were in front of me in the GT40. The Alco driver (aka the engineer) first waved, then he gave us two thumbs up, and then he clapped!

The final party begins.

Proof that absolutely NO alcoholic beverages were consumed that evening. None. This is normal behavior.

Matt (who, once again, now knows his REAL screen name) and Danielle with their now much-abused Road Rally trophy, and the party moves to the bar.

On to Lake Tahoe on Saturday morning.

I'd have to ask EP what that old car is, but I managed to get a reflection of the GT in when we passed each other.

The underground parking garage at the hotel in Tahoe - with the strange security guard who didn't know why the cars that looked like Ferrari's said "Ford GT" on them.
