I'm heading out the door right now (10:10 AM) to go over to Fascist Island for a while (not participating in the run to Malibu). DIdn't bother washing the car this morning as the weather has been drizzly all A.M.

Wow! Talk about instant pics!! I missed it this AM because I didn't want to get fully rained on again, but the mist wasn't as thick, it looks like, today.

Just so everyone knows, down here on the beach, like where the ocean meets the sand, the sun is starting to break thru, so you guys should have a killer cruise

there were some nice cars there. a shame more 124's didnt represent. there were only 2 of us ole schoolers.

the rides were nice the people friendly the weather so so. i couldnt make the run to the westside. i hope my directions i gave lexani worked out.

btw if anyone needs a host to put all their pics on go to our club website.

http://www.one2four.com and go to the photo album. we have tons of hd space and craploads of bandwidth all free thanks to e320.

if you have a prob posting in the albums send me a pm and i will make sure your account can post pics.

it would be great to have each car have its own gallery. there were a lot of fine ones.

lets do this again soon but have a better organized event.

mbz and bimmers owned the place. only 2 lambos and maybe 4 ferraris. there was a few ricers. one guy brought his m3 and m5 and set off all the car alarms in the structure as his wife followed in the m3. lexani got there about 12:15 sproting a v12 sl with a kit and rims. another guy showed with a sleeper clk500 with a blower under the hood. i do remember seeing 2 lotus elans, 5-7 m3's 1 m5, lots of amg's were representing. examples of prime germany engineering were several e55's a c55 a g55 maybe a clk55. there was only 1 12 cyl which was lexanis. i think an ole school sec renntech job was there.

i think the car that stole the show was an ole school mini. sure a new styled one was there but to see a car i am sure i could flip over restored and driveable was awesome. i think i forgot to mention that the porsche crew did good with at least 5 cars.

Eric, that mini belonged to Ralph Carita, he does luxury and exotic car detailing (949-500-6098). Kudos to Ralph for tipping me off to a leather treatment for a certain problem area of mine

FWIW-

I was there. I meant to go on the cruise, but by the time I finally found PCH, I'd already lost the pack (and a silver S2000 I was following). After seeing the traffic and road conditions, I decided simply to abort. Doing 40 miles per hour in traffic down city streets by myself isn't something that I had in mind before the cruise.

Nice looking at all the cars, though.

My apologies to the black W210 E55 I cut off backing out of my spot. I just pulled in to check the directions and needed to jump back out. The gap looked bigger than that.

It was cool meeting most of you today. Thank you to the guys who led the PCH crew and Gusman for finding us food. Remember you guys promised me a meet at my house in Ventura. I was thinking the first week of August?

please not the 1st week. i am in the keys with a huge group of people scuba diving and deep sea fishing. how about the 2nd week?

/edit

btw this is VERY addicting meeting so many great people with the only thing on their minds is cars. its a great way to meet new people and see some great creativity in regards to cars.
