March 14th Motorgen Meet and PCH/Laguna Canyon Cruise

Monthly Motorgen Meet at Nick's Burger in Fullerton. Meet will start at 6:30p.m. The address for Nick's is:

Nick's Burger
1712 W. Orangethorpe Ave
Fullerton, CA 92833

We're going to do a PCH cruise before the meet. For everyone that wants to go plan on meeting at the lot across the street from Nick's at 4:00p.m. We will leave promptly at 4:30p.m. The cruise will take us down PCH to Laguna Canyon and then all the way back up to Nick's. We should arrive back in time for the meet to start at 6:30p.m.

Here is a copy of the route.
It should be a beautiful drive and with the time change we should be hitting the beach right around sunset. Details are in the thread here, and the event is on the calendar here. See you guys there

The weather is supposed to be in the 60's and sunny, so who wants to cruise?

Lets get some more Merc presence at this.

Though it is fun being the sole one... sometimes

Alright everyone, this is my final bump for this. I've had a lot of people say they're coming so it should be a really nice cruise with a variety of cool cars.

For those of you that just want to come to the meet at Nick's, we should be rolling back in there by 6:30p.m. For anyone that wants to meet at BJ's in Laguna Hills we should be hitting that right around 5:30p.m.

Here is a link to the event and that has my phone number if anyone has any questions. I have already made copies of the directions for anyone that needs them and I'll pass those out before we leave at 4:30p.m.

The weather looks to be perfect, so wash your car, gas up, and I'll see you tomorrow

Well it was a little bit overcast yesterday, but the cruise was a blast anyway!

I think we had about 20-25 cars on the cruise and probably 50 at the meet.

Here are some pictures from meeting up:

Also, here is a video of some of us leaving Nick's last night. My personal favorite part is at about the 2:36 mark where the Challenger SRT8 does a nice burnout and then gets honked at by a Honda Fit

We have lots of stuff coming up, so keep your eyes open for next month. The next meet will be April 11th. For all you AWD guys we'll be doing a dyno day for you because I owe you one. I'm going to finalize price and times tomorrow for it.

Thanks again to everyone that came. It was a great mix and good times!
