I may be down for a caravan if you're meeting in Anaheim Hills. Have you guys picked a meeting place yet? If you're taking the 241 toll road, the nearest places to meet off the 91 are Savi Ranch Pkwy/Yorba Linda Blvd. There's a Costco, Festival shopping center, etc. It's about 2 exits (1-2 miles) after the 241 toll road. Hopefully, I won't be working that morning. That'll be a nice cruise on the 241 though. I don't have fasttrak, so I'll have to pay at the toll booth. The 241 sure beats 55 fwy traffic during rush hour. Those coming from diamond bar can take the 60 to 71 to 91 to 241.

Caliber Motors new facility is right off the 91 Imperial hwy exit. Might not be a great meeting place though. The manager may ask why all these modded benzes are there. I can tell a few people in the parts dept about the meet though. May be interesting since they have a large wholesale parts dept and they may be willing to throw in some goodies for the meet. I buy all my oem parts from them.

I like the Savi Ranch idea- Caliber is west on the 91 a few miles. I live in Anaheim Hills and I am taking the toll road no matter what. We could all meet in the corner of the Costco lot???

Yeah, the big Costco lot is what I was was thinking of. I'll talk to some people at Caliber parts and see what they say. Maybe I can talk em into throwing in some cool raffle prizes or something.

Yeaahhhhhhhh Chris D Pham is rolling ... remember coming back from Encinitas with the 55 crew last year!!! We had some good speed runs.

We can all meet at Costco in Savi Ranch at 10:15 (just in case some are late) and then hit the toll road and cruise to the Spectrum to meet up with the SD boys. We are going to have a meet within a meet.

Working on it now. I just bought the C32 catalytic downpipes from Caliber. Going to delete 2 cats. The rear section will be custom. Headers are going on with the exhaust.

Meeting at 10:15 am at Savi Ranch.

We're going to meet at the Yorba Linda Costco off Savi Ranch Pkwy at 10:15 am. (click on link to display google satmap). We still need to decide on an exact meeting place in the parking lot. Costco is on the upper right hand corner of the map, with the large L shaped parking lot. From above, the building has a brown awning over the entrance. You can also see the 91 fwy exit off the map.

BTW, be on time please, not asian time or any other time.

There may be a way for all the caravans (coming from the North part of LA) to end up at a central meeting spot and heading to Tia Juana's together.

There's a big auto store called Super Autobacs in Stanton, CA (Orange County) that is off the 22 freeway. It has a big parking lot and if we could coordinate for all the caravans to get there by a certain time, it might just work perfect (I know, it would be a pain to have another stop before going to Tia Juana's). The address is 12645 BEACH BLVD, Stanton, CA, 90680. Check mapquest/yahoo maps if you want to see how to get there.

Since the people heading up from South of LA are meeting up at the Spectrum, this might be an idea to combine all the caravans coming from the north part of LA (whether it's NE or NW). Just an idea that I wanted to throw out there, but if everybody is down to do that, it might just work out perfect for ALL of us to roll to the meet at the same time.

I've been to other meets and I know there have been other car forums that scheduled this place as their central gathering before heading elsewhere.

For all the coordinators, if this seems like a plan that everybody would be okay with, then let me know so that I can merge the caravan threads.

From where we are meeting it would be going backwards - we are only 18 miles from Tia Juana's via the toll road but I tossed out the idea of meeting with the SD crew. I want to meet up with Carlos and the Jangy crew first at the Spectrum anyways. I think that will be more optimal for us and your end would better for the south bound travelers. Thoughts?

All good. No prob. It looks like the Soutbay caravan wants to stick with the original plan of goin' straight to Tia Juana's from our original meeting point.

Guess we'll just do that and save Super Autobacs for next time.

That would be backtracking for me and most of the other people who live in the Inland Empire and Anaheim Hills. Stanton is at least 15 miles west of my location, and Irvine is to the south. I'd rather take the 241, or Santa Ana Canyon Rd or even the 55. Anyways, I plan to meet at Costco at 10:15, pick up a churro and coffee then take the 241.

Could we pick an exact spot in Savi Ranch to meet? NW, NE, SW, or SE corner of the Costco parking lot? There's also a smaller Borders parking lot.

I think Borders is actually better since its small, once you enter go straight and then turn left to the NW corner.
