NCLR101 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hello All Brand new member here. I met Chuck and his Son at the recent Quail Lodge LR event. I have been running the trails as best I can on my own for the past year or so. So I am excited to join a group and get to know you all as the opportunity presents itself. I drive a 2007 sport that has seen its share of off road "pin strips" with the only upgrade so far with Cooper Zeon LTZ tires on 18" rims. I plan on more upgrades as I learn more and my budget will allow. I live in Menlo Park and have been down to Hollister many times. I am always on the lookout for nearby off road spots in the bay area. I just returned a couple weeks ago from the Gold country and up HWY 88 to Silver and Blue lakes. A great trip but few true "off road" opportunities as the El Dorado Forest seems to be taking a "dim view" on vehicles in their forest. Will try Stanislaus Forest on the next vacation run and definately planning on joining those the meet up for the Gold Lake trip upcomming. Well that's it for now. I wanted to introduce myself and say hello to all you folks. I look forward to becomming a contributing member in anyway that will serve the group.

sasquatch Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Welcome aboard Thommy! Nice to see more people in the club willing to pinstripe the newer rides. Hwy88 and Hwy4 have tons of trails. Just stick around and go on some club runs. You'll see what a great time we have and how cool the other owners are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantiz Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Welcome to the club, Thommy. It's always nice to see other "late model" owners willing to use their rovers as they were intended. I used to run trails by myself like you before I came to the club. I find myself not only willing to push my rover further than I would have alone, but completely trusting the expertese of our fellow NCLR members during those crucial spotting moments. It's been a blast for me so far. As long as I live in the north cal area, NCLR will be home for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil. Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 i welcomed thommy in another thread, but i'll do it again here. WELCOME! how do you like those coopers? i'm running nittos right now and have heard good feedback about them. leaning that way for the next time. post some pics. i bet you're the only RRS on coopers up here in the bay. if you see a black RRS screaming down the carpool lane on 101 with tiny hands waving out the back windows, it's probably me and the girls.
