Roland, I think Matt already has dibbs on that bucket (Matt, not fair!!!)... but if not, I will gladly jump in there as a sub. Remind me to bring a few extra changes of clothes - didn't you say 130deg. fahrenheit? I will throw on my challenge exhaust on my 348CH for this drive as a feeble attempt to match the sound of your LM...haha... Looking forward to it!! | ||

Ron - click on your own name; at the very bottom of your profile is a link entitled "Edit Profile"... Click on that, make the DESired changes and then hit whatever that grey button is - it says something like 'make changes' or whatever...

Say, this is sounding like it is getting serious. I have no idea as to the amount of Ferrari nuts like myself who will be there. I know this may sound silly BUT can we have name tags or something. I need to put a face to the names on this site. Also, I am terrible on remembering names but if there is a name tag, I can call each by name and then I get to remember who is who. Just a suggestion. Also, why is it taking soooooo long for Saturday to get here? | ||

If DES crashes with Byron and Byron doesnt want to go, Ill head to the Crystal Cove show with DES (pick him up from Byrons house or he can stay at mine) and drive him up to Pasadena for the event. I think there are going to be some awesome cars there this Saturday from what Ive heard from Armen today. So it might be worth it to go! | ||

| Ron Shirley (Easy_rider)
Member Username: Easy_rider Post Number: 582 Registered: 12-2002 |
James, how have you been? I look forward to seeing you again sometime soon. If DES is really interested in this show (it sounds like great fun) his best bet would be to stay the night in OC or no farther north than Long Beach. Living in Ventura County takes me out of most OC events. | ||
| James Selevan (Jselevan)
Member Username: Jselevan Post Number: 655 Registered: 6-2002 |
Ron - may not be in the cards. You could show up at Crystal Cove by 8:00 am, but still an early start. DES will be getting up early because of the time change, but sounds like you will be up late the night before. Maybe you will all get Bored at the Blue House and go to bed early? Jim S. | ||

It's at least a 2 hour drive from my house to Crystal Cove. So DES would have to leave my house about 5 am or so. I thought the plan was to stay late at the HOB on Friday night. Plus with his time zone change it will be 3 hours later for him. | ||

DES - any chance of you making it down to the Crystal Cove car get together at 7:00 am Saturday morning (July 12). Read the two links in Southern Cal section. Many of us are at Crystal Cove Saturday morning. I may drive to Pasadena for the noon meeting in Old Town. I can give you a ride up in the Boxer, but will be meeting my brother there so will be unable to drive you back. Crystal Cove is between Newport and Laguna Beach. If I end up not going to Pasadena, I am sure someone at the Crystal Cove can get you there Jim S. | ||
