Just to remind all of you about the event THIS WEEKEND!!!!

Update: There is a sign up sheet of sorts on MY350Z.com to get a semi-accurate headcount as to who is attending.  Again the great folks at ZONC insist that you bring cash with you if you want to have lunch at Poppy Hill (restaurant) and for the gate entry fee for 17 Mile Drive!!  See the updated flyer below for all of the info.

ZONC will be hosting the annual Monterey/Pebble Beach Meet and Ride this year on Saturday, September 19th.   As usual we will be meeting at MY Nissan in Salinas, CA to gather most of the group before heading into 17 Mile Drive and then to lunch at Poppy Hill in Pebble Beach.

The event itself is free but there is a charge for the lunch if you wish to attend, there is also as $10 fee to drive on 17 Mile Drive itself but this is included if you decide to buy lunch.  See the ZONC flyer below for further clarification.  This is a really fun drive to make as you see tons of Zs and Gs make their way through some of the nicest beachfront neighborhoods on the west coast.

There will be more info to come in the next week or so as we set up a caravan from Z Car Garage to MY Nissan in Salinas so stay tuned for that.

Make sure you check out the post from last year to see all the photos we took.

There was a great turn out at the annual Monterey and Pebble Beach Z and Meet.   Even though the weather was less than favorable the turnout was very high with 40 to 50 cars showing up for the drive.  The meeting point was held at MY Nissan in Salinas, CA.  Zs and Gs packed the parking lot with a few other cars mixed in including an NSX, S2000, Pontiac GTO, Mitsubishi EVO, and a 60’s Ford Mustang.

The drive wound it’s way through the hills of Salinas, Monterey, and Carmel and continued onto 17 Mile Drive with the first leg ending at Bird Rock right along the famed Pebble Beach golf course.  From there the caravan conituned on to a buffet style lunch at Poppy Hill.  If you live in the Northern California are this is the end of the driving year event that should not be missed.  Without further delay here are a few pictures that I took of the drive.  Hope to see you all next year!!
