Bit far for me to go I'm afraid.
Could make it to Watford if anyone's interested.

Hi Mongoose:
I would be willing to drive up to Newport Beach. Not too far from San Diego. What kind of cars normally appear at the show?

there are the NICEST cars avalible that show up, anywhere fom clasic muscle cars to an Enzo. usualy about 50-75 choice cars. there are always the ferraris and old muscles there. about two weeks ago two Porshe GTs showd up and an Enzo, it was quite a treat to see those cars nexto oneanother. here are some picks http://www.fast-autos.net/gallery/cc111304 it is a fun event to look at all of the nice cars.

Quite a drive for me, but sounds like it would be fun to take a week's vacation, drive down and see the show. Haven't been in CA in quite a few years, most of the warrents have probably expired by now
