Calling all Cars Socal Orange COunty

The world famous Crystal Cove Pavillion that Celebrates Car junkies every saturday morning with a free car show is being shut down. The Irvine company that runs it is putting the stop to it due to noise problems and neighborhood complaints. The last two saturdays are upon. us Tomarrow and Next Saturday the 14th are the last opportunities. This could be the worlds largest free car show in history. THe last few months have seen 250 plus cars and up to 600 people. The last two saturdays will be huge. I have heard rumors of 6 enzos showing up for the 14th and a funeral procession of over 300 super cars and classics driving from CC to South Coast Plaza. For SOcal Car junkies this is almost a right of Passage to beheld. Come and join everyone at the last two weeks of Crystal Cove car lifestyle. JJ
