My damn email encryption program thingie isn't working, so i couldn't hack you guys and find out where you were and my computer navigation external GPS modem flux capacitor thing-a-ma-bob needs batteries (Bruce, where are you?!), so i couldn't find you, at all...

Thanks to everyone for a phenonomal afternoon drive! It was great to put faces to names. I'm having problems with my FTP (they are having a latency prob, upload is 12k/sec IF I can stay connected). I took 28 pictures, 4 of which were a wash and will be posted tonight. I'll post them in a separate thread and copy a link to the thread in here too when finished. Sunny | ||

Hi DES, wish you could join us. We will have one or more cameras there. I will bring one, but I get a bit lazy about posting them so I hope there is a back up. Normally Byron or his friend Elenia are our official recorders but they won't be there tomorrow. We stopped being precisely specific on chat because we were not sure who was monitoring our gatherings and why. So now we handle the final details by email. Besides if we told you we would have to ______you! Hope the weather is ok for you tomorrow and Monday. | ||

That sounds Ron and Mike. I'll meet anyone comming form OC @ the Federal building off of Wilshire and the 405 and we will drive up and meet at moorpark- and go from there. I'm bringing my girlfriend on this one. Does anyone know of a hotel in Sata Barbara or Montecito that has good parking and is not too expensive, I might stay the night. | ||

Well Matt said that Art needed two spaces and I told that to my wife. I also told her it would probably be an all day deal, just like Jan 1 and she decided not to go. I can easily take 2 passengers. The right front seat can go forward and both will still be comfortable. I cannot move the drivers seat up enough to drive comfortably and still have an adult passenger. The Moorpark exit is after Calabassas. It is just after the 23 FWY goes north to Simi (where my house is). We have not finalized the details but could easily be flexible enough to meet up with you. I am about 10 mins from there and it is right by Craig's home. Mike T we could meet you there also. | ||

| Ron Shirley (Easy_rider)
Junior Member Username: Easy_rider Post Number: 136 Registered: 12-2002 |
JL, are you going to go Ventura via the 101? If Craig is in TO that night we will meet at the 101 off Moorpark exit. You could join us there. That invitation would extend to anyone else coming up the 101. We also have the option of going straight to Ventura from there on the 101 or we can go up the 23 to Filmore and meet up with Matt and others with him and expand the caravan. Matt, my wife said that she would stay home, so I have room for passengers. | ||

I'm in Calabasas, just at the west end of the Valley (sort of). I'd like to drive to SB with you guys on Sunday. I also want to drop by Blackhorse for the opening. Great guys there; lots of help.

Gene why don't you make a contest with your children- the one that behaves the best until Sunday gets to go on a drive with you. IT leaves your wife with less work to do on Sunday with 4 kids. You then do another contest that the child that behaves the best on Sunday with your wife- will go on the next drive. BTW Don't listen to me I DON'T HAVE KIDS IT IS JUST A THOUGHT. | ||

Matt How about we start a post with the date and itenerary of all of our excursions. Not the details of course-those will be e-mailed individually-but the basics. This way each of our excursions will have a title and we can go back and look at the picutres or comments of the given event. Something Like- FERRARI DRIVE FEBRUARY 16th TO SANTA BARBARA. If you think this is a good idea start the thread- this trip is yours! | ||

Alright Girfriend has to work on Friday the 14th so I am not going out of town. I think that I can make it for the 16th, but only if my car is ready. It should either be ready Feb 9th or the 15th. Matt I know that I can ride shotgun with you, but I have to spend time with the girlfriend and she would come along. Thank you though for your generousity. Hopefully all works out. We would come up to Matts House or meet on the 101. Either Way. | ||
