M30 owners in the US are far apart. Additionally, not all owners are M30 enthusiasts. It has been a big challenge setting meetings up. Having more than 2 M30s has always been an issue. When I had momentum and the morale on F31club was high, I mentioned doing some meet ups. I was able to organize the Northern California meet. This was followed by the Southern California meet. Which lead to the 8 M30s record. In 2016, I made the trek to Japan for the 30th Annual Leopard meeting.
