Mike and I showed up at the same time, hence how we ended up parking together. Interesting, as expected 98% old American cars, then Mike and I and our Italian cars, two tricked out Japanese cars (Honda Civic and Nissan Maxima). But pretty much American. Mike knows a lot about cars and mechanics, so was a pleasure talking with him. The even was near a field, and with the dust/grass blown up by the cars pulling in + the breeze blowing pollen onto the field, rest assured many of us with black cars were constantly wiping them down. It got hot real fast, and like a dummy I forgot sun screen. So warm that many took refuge in what little shade there was. A lot of the participants obviously do these events a lot, and came prepared with chairs, pop up tents, etc. I left at 1pm, was a bit warm, and wanted to take a drive by the coast before it became hotter. It'd be nice to have a bigger Ferrari corral next time. Got a million flyers for coming up car shows (don't know if I'll go) | ||

I'd love to get involved, but I'm limited to Sunday activities, since Saturday is my big work day. I'm always interested in early Sunday drives! | ||

wow, a free engine as a giveaway? That's awesome! (albeit a chevy 350) Hmmmm...how do you retrofit a chevy V8 into a ferrari... hmmmm LOL! This sounds like fun, but unfortunately, I won't be able to make it. I'll be working in SF that morning, then flying down to commute up to Bakersfield for the Buttonwillow event. Laguna Hills high.....ahhh... I remember playing tennis against them in high school... hehe... I drive by that are all the time going to the 'top of the world' Brian, do you live around there? | ||

Okay, called, here's the info I got: - 1st year they've done this - register the day of the show - $25 fee for cars being displayed - cheap lunchs, raffles, give aways (grand prize is a rebuilt Chevy 350 - think I'll throw that in the Honda!) All the money goes to benefit the Football program for the school. Sounds like a Crystal Cove (i.e. classic and hot rods), but could have our own little Ferrari section I suppose. Since registration takes place day of event, I'll throw in a tentative yes, with a definite yes/no by Thursday next week No, I'm not affiliated with teh school. Drove by this morning and noticed the banner... | ||

Apparently Laguna Hills High School is having a fund raiser and are hosting a car show next Saturday (23rd of August). Anyone interested in going/displaying your car? I'm thinking of doing it...like Bart says, get people excited on Ferrari. Let me know if there is interest, I'll get the phone number tonight |
