Unless anyone wants to meet up in the Glendale/burbank area before heading down, I guess I'll be at the Spectrum at 12. Which side of the parking lot do you plan on meeting?

Exclamation CARAVAN Cruise !

Ok,
it seems we've got caravans coming from:

- HUNTINGTON BEACH / NEWPORT - point of contact: ChrisDPham

- SAN FERNANDO VALLEY / GLENDALE - point of contact: BenzoBoi

- ROWLAND HEIGHTS / DIAMOND BAR - point of contact: FrankW

- IRVINE / TUSTIN / 405-5 MERGE - point of contact: Dan_Wang

- MIRA / KEARNY / CLAIREMONT MESA - point of contact: Saprissa

So the SFV, Foothill, & O.C. caravans can all meet up at the 405/5 Merge at the
Irvine Spectrum, parking lot closest to Robinson's May at about 12 noon. Wait for 30-45 min, get food, get gas, and then head down to Encinitas as ONE HUGE caravan !!


any others ????
RIVERSIDE / CORONA - Burnt Toast ??? Perhaps
VENTURA / SANTA CLARITA - Mr. Wolf ??? Perhaps

i will drive into the OC for the caravan down. its an extra 30 miles but will be worth the price of gas.

give us details for the starting point of the caravan and the caravan meet time. pics would be awsome as well.

Eric,

I still need to find out who is going to be apart of the OC Caravan.

So people coming from the OC, please PM me or reply here and let me know you'll be in the group and suggestions for the meet.

Then again, since we all live close to Irvine Spectrum, we could meet there as well. It's about 10-15 drive for me.

Chris,
check with RedMongoose, your W124 posse, Sean (of course), Dan_Wang

I'm still not sure if Lisa is coming or not. I know some EVOSPORT people are coming, but not sure if from HB or around O.C. somewhere.

FrankW and C32Andy are coming from Diamond Bar / Rowland Heights area.

Please put me down as confirmed

I have relatives in and they may or may not be using the tickets I've got for this thing that night. If they do, I will be staying for dinner with you guys , if not , I have to leave early.

Either way, I'll be up there early, like around 1 pm, so I'll be leaving downtown HB at 11:30 am, taking PCH to Laguna Cyn Rd to the 73 to the 5 (just before San Juan Capistrano, a bit past (south of) where the 405 meets the 5).

If anyone wants to meet for breakfast or coffee in downtown HB at 10:30 am, I'm up for it. We can meet in the Electric Chair p. lot, as usual.

it's not ALL THE WAY to San Diego.
It's in Encinitas about 30-35 miles north of San Diego.
Plus there are caravans coming down (talk to BenzoBoi)
and a stopover in Orange County at around 12:30 (Irvine Spectrum - 405/5 Merge).

Hey Carlos,
Will there be refreshments there or should we chip in for refreshments or take care of it ourselves. Just in case of 100 degree weather down there. What about dinner plans?
