Add me to the list of attendees for the Sunday meet. I am really looking forward to this. I will make an offering of Napa valley wine and cheese to the rain gods and ask them to hold off any rain until after the meet just in case. If anyone from the south bay wants to caravan up to the meet let me know.

[AJ]

I'm actually NOT on duty that day so there's a chance I will even be there...

IF so I will bring lots of items for sale or trade...

[AJ]

Just emailed the Yahoo Groups (MK2, Mk2Supras, Cressida, ThenewCressida Groups) to let those not on CelicaSupra.com know of the rally...

Wanted to ask about the quick lunch in Calistoga, are we having lunch at a local eatery or should we bring lunch with us?

[Spoker Derek]

You are welcome to bringyour own lunch, but most just dive into a local deli around the corner from the parking lot.

[sowsley]

I interpret that to mean "we are having lunch at a local eatery". I think we stopped there the last time we toured through Calistoga.
