Second Sunday Meet sponsored by Symbolic?

i live about 2 minutes from there, im sure my dad wont have a problem bringing the gallardo down there. also, that place is effing awesome. my dad and i got "the nickel tour" of the place right after my dad bought the gallardo, and o man i was in heaven. the mechanic area had 2 diablos and a 959 among others, the resotation shop was finishing up polishing the body of a restoration of a beautiful 365, saw many historic racers (the 1947 indy 500 winning car etc), a porsche speedster, and got the see the wherehouse where they store the sweet cars...barely even room to walk between 70 or 80 ferraris/lamborghinis/elises/bentleys/rolls/ etc. even had a 40th anniv. jade murielago. awesome idea, im sure were in

 

I'm in. Awesome idea. I live about 5 minutes from there. Hopefully, this will bring more Italian cars to these gatherings by shifting to this venue.

 

i've never felt as if we were about to get kicked out. that said, pioneer already offered to host the saturday one with free donuts, coffee, etc but i declined figuring people liked the current central location and lack of commercial influences. as well, 100 spaces isn't enough.

fwiw, i'm usually out for sunday stuff personally.

i'm not sure it would hurt anything to have a sunday one at symbolic as well. it would be best though to schedule it mid month (ie: 2nd sunday of the month) so we can keep them both well attended and have something to do every two weeks down here.

all imo of course.

 

As long as there's a lot of room ... I'd go. I think it's more central than Carlsbad.

Is that near or in La Jolla if I'm not mistaken (the Symbolic restoration facility)?

 

Also prefer Saturdays. Nice of Pioneer to offer, but they can't hold over 100 cars either can they? Haven't been there since the remodel.

Symbolic's restoration facility was worth touring. I agree with Ben that they should have it mid-month if they want to do it. Is the new facility going to be on the same street?

True that the Carlsbad location isn't the most glamorous, but I don't see anything wrong with it. Reasonable breakfast food available, decent space, close to the freeway. Long as we behave, we shouldn't be kicked out.

JD,
The current restoration and service dept. is on Sorrento Valley Road.

 

no objections at all about the location (only 2 minute drive, cant complain), but unless they use the normally gated-off area for parking, which usually has cars moving constantly between areas, then the remaining parking area can hold maybe 30 or so cars. ill stop by tomorrow on my way after school and get a better feel, cuz i havent been there in 3 weeks.
also, i would prefer saturdays too because we have church on sundays. sundays can work, cuz church is 5 mins away plus however long my mom talks for so i might be able to catch the end of the show. anyways, id prefer saturdays but its not a huge deal. thanks

 

The carlsbad meet was supposed to be on Sunday but everyone needed it to be on Saturday. So I doubt that a Sunday one at Symbolic would have a big turnout...

 

Sunday is the LORD's day, saturday is the only option.

 

Hey, we can pay tribute to Enzo any day of the week...

 

I work late on Friday nite. Midnite. So even CC on Saturday is a PITA. I welcome a Sunday meeting place.

If Carlsbad is on Saturday, might as well go Sunday with the 'Symbolic' gathering. I'm sure we all have reasons why one day or the other won't work, but maybe we can all make it at least once every month.

BTW thanks for organizing this.

AMEN!

 

only if they feed us. The carlsbad meeting as coffee and breakfast.
After all you dont think its a little self serving?

i stopped by on my way home today and i dont see how they think they can accomodate 100 cars unless they open up the service transfer area. i took some pics if anyone doesnt know where it is and wants to see the place

 

Sounds interesting ... I love the Sunday idea!

 

I know some of the guys there, they are a professional outfit. But, donuts and coffee? You are handing them a large group of potential clients on a platter. I like Carlsbad better. Its neutral.

my dad and brother and i (and possibly mom and sister too) and the gallardo are a go.

 

does everyone know how to get there? theres a lot of construction around the area and theres a different way that i reccomend going...it from the south side, by the train station. if anybody doesnt know the best route let me know and ill give you a good map of how to get there.

 

Since I live in Scripps Ranch, I usually just take Mira Mesa Blvd. all the way down to Sorrento Valley Road. Wasn't too fun last time I went in for service.

Another suggestion?

 

Hey Vantage.

Where you at Carlsbad last weekend?
