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?

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
