This past week was on the small side, probably due to many other events going on, but was still fun hanging out with good friends and nice cars. Lets get it back on track like the previous week.

theres been a lot of feedback over the past 2 weeks of people coming out this saturday and the numbers were growing, so rain or shine it will go on! Hopefully the reports will be wrong like they were last Saturday and the rain will hold off till late in the day.

Here are some pics from this months events: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?fb...974&aid=270075

This Saturday will be the usual Cbad Cars event and immediately after there will be a large cruise over to JR Competition in Escondido where they will have an open house, live music and bbq. JR will have additional cars at their shop on display ranging from Bonneville race cars to modern day muscle but this is open to ALL CARS and ALL ARE WELCOME! Spread the word.

I created a simple route from Cbad Cars to JR Performance just in case people get separated on the way there. If the link doesnt work please let me know and just in case Ill post directions in the comments below: http://www.mapquest.com/?version=1.0&hk=9-CR0M31CT

1. Start out going SOUTHEAST on PASEO DEL NORTE toward PALOMAR AIRPORT RD/CR-S12 W. 0.4 mi

2. Take the 1st LEFT onto PALOMAR AIRPORT RD/CR-S12 E. Continue to follow CR-S12 E.
If you reach CAMINO DEL PARQUE you've gone about 0.4 miles too far 8.7 mi

3. Merge onto CA-78 E.
If you reach CA-78 W you've gone about 0.3 miles too far 3.1 mi

4. Take the NORDAHL RD exit, EXIT 15. 0.2 mi

5. Turn RIGHT onto N CITRACADO PKWY.
If you reach CA-78 E you've gone about 0.1 miles too far 0.1 mi

6. Turn SLIGHT RIGHT onto AUTO PARK WAY. 1.3 mi

7. Turn RIGHT onto S ANDREASEN DR.
S ANDREASEN DR is just past S VINEWOOD ST 0.3 mi

8. Take the 2nd RIGHT onto WINERIDGE PL.
If you reach ENTERPRISE ST you've gone about 0.1 miles too far 0.04 mi

9. 2080 WINERIDGE PL is on the RIGHT.
If you reach S VINEWOOD ST you've gone a little too far

Ive also posted some pics from the first weeks meet here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?fb...974&aid=279432

This past Saturday was a great turnout, and I believe we had a little more than 50 of the cars that showed up at Cbad go on the cruise over to JR Performance. BTW a big thank you to JR for opening their doors and serving up some good tasting burgers and brats. I thought the threat of rain would lead many to stay home, but thankfully that did not happen. Lets keep the event growing, so please continue spreading the word. There will be more events like the cruise/open house in the future so stay tuned and become a fan on facebook:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cbad-Cars/93358016974

Make sure to check the wall for pics and vids from other people. Ive posted a good deal of the ones I took but there are many more to come. You can view March's album here:

Here are some of my shots and Ill see you this Saturday:

This Saturday should be a very big turnout, there are at least 20 confirmed L4Pers and their exotics coming down from OC (late in the morning, so dont leave early) and there will be a cruise over to Station Pizza afterwards to meet up with even more cars before heading out on a run up to Julian for those who want to make a day out of it. There is also a group of Mustangs and Panteras who may join us at Cbad Cars before driving down the same path but with the destination of JR Competition for a tech day.

Check out this weeks invite page for more info: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=215458721815171

This Saturday June 4th is going to be great day to come out to Cbad Cars. There is a ton of interest so far with several cars coming down from OC and LA. At 9am we will be cruising over to HRE where they will be hosting an open house, having many more cars on display, as well as vendors and some great give aways. So make sure you dont miss it.

Here is the FB Invite page with all of the details: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=211388248883912

The flyer with info for the entire day:


Among many cool cars HRE will have this Koenigsegg on display and they are going to try to bring it out to Cbad Cars in the morning for the cruise over, so make sure to bring your cameras, it will make for some killer rolling shots!



And just so everyone has a heads up, here is the map and directions of the route we will be taking from Cbad Cars to HRE so that no one gets lost:



around 9-9:15 (depending on when the OC crew rolls in) we will quickly gather around my car (pictured below) to quickly figure out who is going with, and then we will line up in 2 or 3 rows (depending on how many are cruising) towards the back of the parking lot so we can all easily file out together and head down Palomar. If we can get 1 or 2 volunteers to head up each line in case the lights separate us that would be awesome!
