San Diego -> San Francisco Bay Area

Recommended Posts

After school got out last week, a few friends and I decided to take a trip. We moved out of our dorms and apartments and packed everything into my car. Then we headed up north. Stopped a few times in Orange county, Los Angeles, then headed to San Luis Obsipo. In SLO, we met up with two other friends and together we headed to camp in Morro Bay, Ca.

On Sunday, we took a day trip from San Luis Obispo up north to Big sur for some solid hiking and whatnot. We took the Vanagon because we couldn't fit all of us + our gear into the E30. It was pretty cool driving around in the VW though, it was my first time in one.

PS: Sorry about the iPhone photos. I reluctantly dropped off my 2 rolls of 35mm at a local shop here in Berkeley to get developed this afternoon, and it'll be a day or so before they get developed. Crazy at the price for this service these days, I'm only getting these developed and .jpeg 1024 pixel scanned (no physical prints) and it's gonna be just under $35! :hitler:. I got prints and a scan for one roll back down in San Diego last week for $13 :(. Here are the iPhone pics, I'll post the slr ones later. :up:

So there we have it. My E30's done a lot for me now. It's been my moving-truck, sports car, grocery getter, my sleeping accommodations, and much more. Here's to many more good memories and miles in the E30!

Cheers,
Sina

Sina, should of stopped in at my place. I'm 2 minutes from the Chevron at Hwy 1 and Rio Rd. :)

Ahh what. <_< To be honest though, we were in a mad dash back to Orinda so we probably couldn't have stopped for long.

But that's crazy! You live next to some of the best roads in the world. Hell, we should incorporate a drive/stop by your house in this year's meet.

Just a little bit nicer roads than the ones in Oakland ..... :rolleyes:

That sucks Sina! Is it irrepairable or is that still unknown at this point? I realize the last thing you need is another project, but hopefully it's a R&R (Remove and Replace) repair and nothing serious.

As for the trip - pure awesome. Life is all about making memories with trips like that, so do it often and keep taking great pics. Taking lots of pics during some of my adventures is a big regret, although back then it wasn't as easy and accessible as it is now. (IE decent cameras in every phone damn near...)

Haha damage wasn't as bad as previously suspected. Steering/suspension is okay but I'm going to need an allignment, and a new wheel/tire.

I was planning on selling the wheels on pretty soon, so I'll only be buying one to complete the set before I do so.

Please document your upcoming trip to CO thoroughly! Romping all of those beautiful mountainous roads in a 505 turbo sounds like heaven.

Here are some of the film photos from the trip...

These were off my second ever roll of film, so please pardon the imperfections.
