Central Meeting Location - Orange and LA County Members!

Jeffrey,
I like it! Hmmm... we were going to do Newport for 2/29...maybe we should all try to meet at Yard House instead? How's the parking situation over there? I've been there before, but if I recall, it's just open public parking, right? Any "connections" for some reserved parking?

Jeffrey,

I think that this is a great idea! It would also be nice to accomodate both LA and OC folk in terms of convenience. Count me in! Also, would there be an opportunity for a short fun drive?

Edward

 

Jeffrey, that sounds like a pretty interesting idea. I haven't eaten at the Yard House yet but have driven by it several times. A while back I saw a nice Porsche 356 parked next to a red 355 spider right in front of it

 

Man and i was just getting used to Crystal Cove.......but it does sound like a good idea! worth the drive for me

 

Sounds good to me! I don't know where the Yard House Restaurant is but it sounds nice! I think I know where Shoreline Village is because I think I ate at another restaurant there. Isn't it just a bunch of Restaurants surrounding a parking lot? Also, do the restaurants look old-fashioned? I don't know if i am thinking of the right location, and I can't describe very well . Well, almost off to Chicago! I will probably have internet access there so keep an eye out for me.

Have fun David. Chicago is one of my favorite cities!! Well, the airport is
Can you believe I flew to Chicago for 2 days JUST to stay at the airport and take pictures of planes...It was a blast though. If you keep your eye open you can see some really rare aircraft that the west coast doesn't get --specifically some airlines from Europe.

 

Sounds too formal, I much prefer the parking lot casualness of CC.

 

Same here...hence why I like the Crystal Cove event.

We need to differentiate a "Crystal Cove" like replacement from a more formal gathering (which Byron has done in the other thread). I think the other appeal of Crystal Cove is that most of the people that show up are somewhat local.

 

You need to schedule it or make it more formal if your only inviting local F-chatters. Part of the attraction of Crystal Cove is, your friends might not be there, but there will be a lot of other people with a lot of other types of cars.

Are you prepared to meet each weekend and crap shoot if there will be no one showing up? I doubt you go to CC just for the Starbucks

Thanks Jordan. I finally got some internet here at my Grandma's house which is actually like 30 miles south of Chicago. We went for my Uncle's wedding and we had a a lot of fun. Tomorrow we are heading back home so I will be home late that night, and school the next day . I'll keep my eyes out for some cool planes for you Jordan but I don't really know much about them. If I see something cool, I'll try to get a shot of it with the digital.

Awesome David, Id appreciate it!

 

A trip down Shoreline Dr. in the F40 (think indycars here) to the Yardhouse sounds like fun. Count me in. But secure parking down there is a must.

Rick

 

They will have already started putting up the bleachers for the race in April. Taking Shoreline at speed with the bleachers up is pretty cool.

 

Hey guys... I'm in for sunday. Yard house for a late morning meeting sounds like good fun... I'm almost itchin' to do a drive that morning, too! Hmmm... drive then lunch? Or breakfast then drive?

Btw, jeffrey, no need to ask me about doing the bleachers... I used to love doing that on my race bike... that was SO awesome to hear! I would love to hear the F40 roar through there!

Ok... so it looks like we're on for sunday. What time should we meet there? J - can you talk to the manager to secure a few spots out front for the F-Cars?

Byron

 

We should have an opening ceremony and reinact the Gumball Rally and all drive down Qeen's way and end up near the Boat across the way.We could ask Linda Vaughn to greet us!!!!!!

 

Who is going to run a Daytona up the LA River? Love that movie.....

 

Reinact the Gumball Rally? Who wants to drive the speed limit? LOL

Sounds like fun. I said I would go to Calabasas this weekend without remembering the 29th, whoops! Too much going on. Count me in for this weekend.

Sunny

 

Byron -- I like the drive idea! I'm up for it before and/or after breakfast/lunch.

 

Yardhouse ceme brulee yummmmmm

Well at Triangle squaere in Newport, the parking is a garage, underground.

My dad has a friend that is in charge of redeveloping ports of call village, we can get it desgnated as a ferrari only zone (with plenty of police protection) when the multi million dollar rennovation is over, but until then, it seems like the LB/Seal Beach Area is going to be it. Perhaps the Los Alamitos race track bring our ponies to the ponies

There is whole shoreline village thing but there is nothing to do there.

 

Im in for Sunday!

Whats the set meeting time?

 

Sorry Jordan, I wan't able to find any, and the camera was burried in a bag somewhere. I partly didn't see any nice planes because we flew out of mid-way airport, not the actual Chicago air port.

Maybe we can get some guys to go to an air show sometime whenever the next one comes.

Sorry,
David

 

O.K. guys, I'm a little confused. Is this just like a little get together with a drive? I thought that this Sunday was "the last sunday of the month" GTG. Does this mean that this drive counts as "the last sunday of the month" thing? Sorry about this, I'm a little tired from the plane flights and can't think straight. Some clarification would be helpfull.

Thanks,
David
