If you guys don't mind, my uncle and I plan to swing by in my MR-S. He wants to buy a Z roadster and I thought this would be a good chance to see what people have done to their cars.

Also, Google Maps shows several results for the address posted by OP (which has a bad zip code btw). This destination is the one we want, right?

Sure it's ok, I would like to see your MR-2. Would you be joining us on the run or at the final destination (breakfast at Mel’s) or just stop by at the meet up location?

Thanks for the catch on the zip code. It is the Mel’s off Blue Oaks and Lone Tree Blvd (the one from your google link). Corrected the first page.

I've been dying to go on a drive, so I'm gonna do my best to wake up on time for it.

For some reason I thought Mels was at The Fountains... Just realized it's not. Where's the morning meetup spot?

edit- nm, Googled it. Another spyder or two might join me, actually.

Kewl, the more the merrier...The morning meet up location is at the The Fountains in Roseville. I will post up the exact spot within The Fountains tomorrow night. Debating on the spot I would like to have us park and the alternative spot. Still mulling it over.

Update: The location to park within The Fountains located at the corner of Roseville Parkway and Galleria Blvd, Roseville, CA.

The first page has been updated.

Set in an extraordinary, ambient streetscape, Fountains at Roseville is the first lifestyle center of its kind in the Sacramento region. The center’s namesake is a centerpiece fountain that performs with illuminated jets of water choreographed to music.

Last update on the when and where before the breakfast run:

When: 7:30-7:45 am
Where: The Fountains in Roseville

Depart: 8:00 – 8:15 am

The Run: (map will be available at the meet up location)
East Roseville Parkway over to Douglas Blvd then to Auburn Folsom Rd heading towards Auburn.
A quick stop for a photo shoot at the entrance to Las Gatos in Granite Bay.
Onward to Auburn, thru old downtown to Hwy 49 and down the steep grade to the bottom of the river bed.
A quick turn off to Old Forest Hill Road and possibly a stop for a photo of the Forest Hill Bridge that was used in the opening scene of Vin Diesels XXX movie where he plows a corvette off the bridge to be destroyed at the bottom of the gorge (where we will be). It’s a beautiful road with the river and the gold country at the foothills of The Sierra’s and oh yeh the country side.
Onward to the Forest Hill Rd and heading over THE XXX Movie BRIDGE back towards I-80.
The only freeway portion on I-80 before getting off at Hwy 193 towards Newcastle and Lincoln. A beautiful road and oh yeh the country side.
Turn off towards Lincoln Hills golf course and back towards Rocklin which will bring us right to Mel’s Diner in Rocklin on Lone Tree Blvd.

It’s a pretty casual run with no high speed areas, but does have two spirited parts to the run which I will not disclose here online and oh yeh the country side.

Arrive: 10:15-10:30 am (for breakfast)
Mel’s Diner

Closing on 1am and I'm still up. Hope I wake up on time =p
