SF Bay Area Cruise/Brunch: 7/24 (Sat)
Posted by: | CommentsFor all those in the San Francisco Bay Area, we are putting together a cruise/brunch on July 24th (Saturday) kicking off on the Peninsula (exact location TBA but probably in San Mateo). The cruise route is being determined right now but so far the plans are to take H92 West to Skyline and take that beautiful stretch to the Four Corners (Skyline & Woodside Rd) where we will have brunch at Alice' Restaurant. There are always tons of classic cars and motorcycles there on the weekends. After that we will be heading West on Woodside Rd (84) to the coast and heading north on H1. This is a beautiful drive. We will then stop at Cameron's Pub for dessert (the best hot fudge Sundaes on the coast) and for whatever else you folks want.
We will then continue North on H1 through Half Moon Bay (where you can see where the old Half Moon Bay Drag Strip use to be). We will continue the drive north and run through the Presidio and then end up in a spot where we can get all the cars together and take pics with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. Since we have folks coming from all corners of the Bay Area, we will disperse from there so that everyone can either head out on the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge or head south on 101 back to the South Bay.
More exact info will be coming re: times and setting the route in stone. I will be driving it early next week and talking to the owners of the places where we will be stopping.
I hope you can join us. BTW: This is not only for members of FEBO, FABO & FBBO (although we will be the majority) but also for any of your friends that have classic cars or just want to have a nice afternoon. I, personally, will have approx. 7-8 friends/fellow members from the Golden State Rods joining us and they are super nice people to hang with.
If you have any questions, fee free to ask. Again, I hope to have some of you locals join us. Also, if your ride won't be up and running by then, join us anyway. I know that a few people on FABO will be taking their daily drivers or jumping into other people's cars at the meeting spot.
Let the good times roll,
Ben

Ribs & One Bad Ass Car Guy Garage/Shop
Posted by: | CommentsEarlier this week, I put together a last minute dinner outing with approx. 16 local car folks at Armadillo Willy's for their "All You Can Eat Rib Night". I am proud to say that a FEBO member (yours truly) won the rib eating contest. Delicious but painful. ;)
Afterwards, we were invited to see one of the guy's garage/shop. I had been to Joe's (aka: Sparky's) garage several times before but the majority of the group had never seen it. it is a car guy's/gal's auto mecca. Without giving a full-blown description, I'll let the pics speak for themselves. I'll post a teaser pic of the entrance but since there are so many images, click the link to see the 100+ shots I took. Enjoy!

FS: New 15×8/15×7 Magnum 500s
Posted by: | CommentsI have a set of (4) new Magnum 500s for sale. (2) are 15x8s & (2) are 15x7s. They are from Stockton Wheel (which uses the correct triple plate chroming process unlike ones from Wheel Vintiques & others). They include (4) new bullseye center caps w/retainers & screws and (20) new lugnuts. See pics.
The wheels are located in the San Francisco Bay Area and can be brought down to Spring Fling on 4/17-18 if arrangements are made in advance. They can also be picked up or I will work with you on shipping them. I have found Greyhound to be the most economic way to go on larger/heavier items. I am into the wheel package for $1104 (not incl. shipping) and am asking $875 for the entire set.
