Cars & Coffee, Carbon Canyon & Tech Day BBQ

Just throwing this out for those in So Cal. Thought it would be fun to pick out a Saturday to put together a group starting at Cars & Coffee followed by a cruise up through Carbon Canyon ending at my place for a Tech Day afternoon and BBQ.

I was thinking either Saturday, Oct 13th or Sunday, Oct 14th. For Sunday, we can do an early afteroon cruise thru Carbon Canyon followed by a Tech Day afternoon and BBQ (no Cars & Coffee).

How many people are open and/or interested? We can change the dates if necessary to get a good group together.

Sounds great! Saturday's work best for me.
What would you like me to bring to the BBQ?
By the way...that's an awesome looking speedster you have there.

Adrian - Sounds like a good excuse to get together - count us in. Saturday works best for us also (and probably Gabe GQ as well)! We'll bring some dessert for after BBQ!

P.S. - Robert, you should bring some flyers from your art gallery!

Peace - Out!

Adrian, per our conversation the 13th works best for me too! My youngest has a late soccer game that day so I can make an early run out to Cars & Coffee and then through Carbon canyon.. Yeah I just realized that both events are C&C .. LOL.. Lets plan on getting Gabe up for the run out to Cars too, it would be cool to have 3 or 4 Speedies come in at same time... then we can all head back to Carbon with Jimbo, Robert (Nice color Roberto!) and anyone else that wants to tag along .. should be a sweet time..

I am in.. let's start head count here..

Speedster "D"

I'm in for the 13th.Cars and Coffee, Carbon Canyon and BBQ!

Spoke with Gabe & Desi on the phone today and so far they say they're IN! My buddy John (with the Red Buggy) wants to tag along as well too so it looks like a good turnout so far.

Just so we're all on the same page, let's set this up for --

*** SATURDAY, OCT 13TH ***

Meet at Cars & Coffee around 7am.
We can begin our caravan at around ~8:30am to meet others if necessary at Carbon Canyon by 9am and go from there.

I will keep it simple and BBQ Burgers and Dogs. I'll also pick up a mac/potato salad. Bring yourself a collapsable chair if you've got one (just in case but I'll have a few).

Looking forward to it!

Cars & Coffee, Cruizing & Smiling ,Hamburgers & Hotdogs, Tech Day & Poker. Cabanaboy ~ ALL IN!!

I'll bring chips and some really well-shaken soda. If you have any special request, let me know.

Lazy-8, do you copy? If you have no other plans for that weekend, maybe you can meet us somewhere on Carbon Canyon, or Hwy 71 or just at Adrian's place. It would be good to see you & your Speedy again!

Robert - I should warn you to not volunteer your car as the project car for Tech Day at Adrian's. The pic below should say it all..

I'll bring the (poker) chips and dark sunglasses. Cabanaboy ~ calling out all So.Cal S.O.C.ers

Adrian, here's a shout out for Gabe and Lasy 8 to hook-up with us for the ride down to Irvine Saturday morning.. Lets meet at our reg. spot off 57 and Imperial hwy in parking lot of "Coco's" I think? (South-East corner of State College and Imperial Hwy) .. Adrian you know the name for sure.. Then all four of us (Or anyone else that wants to meet us there) can drive down to the OC for Coffee and Cars, or Cars and Coffee... We'll hook-up with my Brutha Jimbo and Robert there!

P.S. Roberto I am looking forward to seeing that tub of yours ... SWEEEEEET

Speedster "D" out!

Thanks, Speedster D, I'm looking forward to finally meeting everyone and checking out what they have done to their tubs too.

See you Saturday

Sorry Guys, Can't make it I have a Men's Retreat for church Friday thru Sunday.

Gabe

Sounds good to me. I will double check my calendar but I am looking forward to going on drive. Meeting for the drive up sounds good. Where exactly is it?

Hi Lazy8,

Here is a link
http://public.fotki.com/wackydave/cruise_nights/cruise-nights-2007/09-29-07-cars--coffee/carsandcoffee02.html
People get there early, before 7:00am. Let me know if this link to the map doesn't work.

Thanks,

Bobsled

Thanks for link Robert.. Lazy8, we were going to meet in Brea for the drive down early Saturday... If you wanna meet us there thats cool too, or just meet at CC in Irvine (Via Roberts map) and then we cruz up though Carbon canyon after Cars & Coffee and get over to Adrians new casa for some grub!

Let me know so we can hook-up via cell or email too, or just post here too.!

Speedster "D"

Adrian, Give Larry J. a shout for a meet and greet, I believe he lives close to your new house?? Cabanaboy

Yes, Larry J is close by me. Gave him a call last week, said he was going to try.

Adrian - I don't want to mess up your jones on this cruise, but how about this to consider;

For those who aren't necessarily CRAZY about the idea of getting up at some un-Godly hour on Saturday morning to rendevous somewhere just to make a 7:00-7:30am appearance at Cars & Coffee (BTW - the lot is FULL at 07:00am), how about this alternative;

For those inclined, we can meet at 09:00am at the Target store on the 5Fwy/Alicia exit in Mission Viejo (we've done this before). We can then cruise Trabuco, Modjeska, Silverado Cyns, cross over on Cannon Street into Anaheim Hills and either continue on Imperial Hwy to work our way to Carbon Cyn and to Adrians (should get us to Adrian's around 11:30am), or continue off Cannon to Serrano to Weir Cyn and a short jaunt on the 91 Fwy to Hwy 71 and then to Adrians (this should get us to Adrian's around 11:00am).

Either way would be good for a 1.5-2/hr cruise before firing up the BBQ and wrenching on some Speedsters at Adrian's!

The Cars & Coffee (C&C) meet is just down the hill from me so it's Easy-Peasy for me, but for those coming from some distance to make a really early rendevous before C&C...I'm just saying!

I'm good with whatever the group decides! Looking forward to hanging out with you guys, grinding on some burgers & dogs and sharing some tech-tips!

Peace - Out!

Thanks for the link. I think I will meet up with you in Brea. I am counting back the hours and it is early so I will be solo again, no worries though. I later start would be nice since I am 45 away from Brea but I can make.

BTW...What should I bring?

I was hoping you were going to bring your NEW wife... JK... Lets ask Adrian on what he might need for Saturday... I assume we will be meeting in Brea by 6:00 am so we can make it before all cars spots fill up at 7:00.. (Per Jimbo's prior post) I have a new cell if you guys need it too..

562-201-3819 cell

We will be meeting at the South-East corner of State College and Imperial Hwy in Brea, just west of the 57 FWY off Imperial. Adrian what is the name of the resturant at that corner again? I think it's Coco's?
its right next to the gas station on that corner.

See you there Lazy8...

Temp. head count for Brea drive to Irvine C&C @ 6:00 am;

Anyone else is welcomed to join in.. but we have to leave by 6:15 am at the latest...

Speedster "D"

Jimbo,
I think I like your plan better (so does my buddy John). Here's the route I would suggest:

Meet at 9am at Target on Alicia Pkwy at 5 Fwy exit, Mission Viejo
Cruise thru Trabuco, Modjeska, Silverado to Cannon Street in Anaheim Hills
Continue to off Cannon to Serrano > Wier Canyon
Short jaunt 91 east to 71 north

*** This route will bypass Carbon Canyon altogether ***

Lazy8 -- if you are coming from Grand Terrace you are already near me. We can meet at my place first and cruise into Mission Viejo together via the Toll Road.

What do y'all think???

I'm in, driving solo, I'll bring the (balute) Cabanaboy

Dave,
Looks like we posted at the same time! My buddy John (in bug) prefers to meet at Target on Alicia as well because of the more reasonable time (9am).

Regarding what to bring -- that's up to you guys. I will be picking up burgers and dogs and a potato/mac salad. I think someone said they are bringing some sodas. For everyone else, bring whatcha want. I'm sure we'll eat whatever shows up!

Looking forward to Saturday!

Adrian - OK, I'm down for the 09:00am rendevous at Target off Alicia exit in Mission Viejo. Weir Cyn detour to 91Fwy sounds perfect. I'll bring some desert.

Desi - does balute = beer bong?

Adrian - this is what John should do to his Baja Bug!!

Balute?? let me try to explain what this is, a duck embreyo still in the egg buried for some time (6 months??) in the ground, rumor has it to be some kind of aphrodisiac, you break the egg and swallow it, chased by beer or harder liquor what you do after that??? Cabanaboy ~ never tried it, never will

Jim, I am driving up from OSide. I am going to C&C. Are you going to C&C and then the 9 AM meeting area?

Desi - Colin told me about 'balute'. Can ju get dem through roon sirbees? Ow july den - we bodder?! I'll bring some bamboo shoots for appetizers with your balute benedict.

Will - Sent you PM! Otherwise I'll call you late tomorrow morning (around 10:00am).

I am liking this 9:00am idea a lot. I will meet you at Target with a tub full of soda and chips.

-Bobsled

This all sounds like a great cruise/get together! It would be a good time to meet the some you other SOCers. Unfortunately, just got me engine back and now gotta put everything back in. Hopefully the nextime. Waas up Desi and Bob!

Bruce

Bruce, what needs to be done?
Jim , what kind pidgen talk??
Bobsled, Dr.Pepper!!
Will, change, quarters,nickles,dimes
Lazy 8, fruit dessert
Speedster "D", Beek sticks and rice
Adrian, Mahalo!
Did I miss anyone??

Cabanaboy~ POKER Prize for winner ($10.00 buy in??)

Adrian, 9:00 am sounds a heck of alot better than pre 6. What time are should I show.

BTW...A fruit desert...is that like a fruit salad or apple pie?

Adrian, ok we are ALL-in (As Desi would say!) We are meeting in Mission Viejo off Alicia parkway at the Target at 9:00 am. I guess no one is going to meet in brea for the ride down to MV? Let me know...

By the way Beef sticks anit the problem I have a great beef stick! LMAO.. however the rice may be a challenge! LOL..

Jimbo your not going to CC in Irvine? IM me or call!

Just a note here.. I was flattered when someone asked my son to have the black Speedie in a parade at their homecoming game this Friday evening.. No he's not in the court! One of his girl- friends asked him to ask me if she could use my car in the parade. This should be very cool as long as she isn't THAT big! LOL...

Speedster "D" Stick this!

Desi - If you don't have any balute, then bring some bittle nut for us to chew, as long as you don't go 'native' on us!! BTW- that's not Pidgeon, it was from Rocky's post on the 'Anything Goes/Top This' thread. We can incorporate a 'poker run' in this cruise.

Speedster 'D', My Brutha from Anutha Mutha! - What would be REALLY cool is if your son could drive the Speedster in the Homecoming Parade with babes on board! He would remember that day for the rest of his life!! Peace - Out, from Unda Cuva Brutha! (I'll call you)

Bruce - sounds like we shoulda had the Tech Day at YOUR house and help install & detail your new engine. You should meet us in Mission Viejo anyway, join us in the cruise to Adrian's (there will be open right-seats, or follow us in your 'other' car), and shoot the sh** with us knucklehead SoCal SOC'ers over some burgers/dogs!!

Lazy8 - while our significant others & wives often join us and are ALWAYS welcome, it sounds like this particular event may be an XY chromosome gathering, except for Speedster 'D' who's missing a chromosome ;-). In THAT event, in order to keep your MAN CARD in good standing, NEVER use the word 'salad' in any conversation with this group, especially 'Fruit Salad'!! At our last Tech Nite, it was obvious it was all XY because there was not a single vegetable stick, quiche pie or spinach-dip anywhere on the premises. BTW - have you bought another KZ-1000 cycle yet?

Bobsled - it would be cool if you brought some pics of your art gallery and metal sculptures!

Roy (rrmc1) - hope you can join us for this lazy-day cruise through the canyons and BS session at Adrian's.

Will - It'll be good to see you before you head back to Florida, my Brutha!

Wish I could get my speedy running with you guys. My engine compartment has been stripped of tin. I'm trying to refab some of it better, otherwise I'll cook. Just finished repairing my shift coupler. Lucky I was near the shop. Few other things yet to do and then I'm down. I'll see if I can make it over to MV.

I'll join in if I get the brakes done in time. I'm solo this weekend so poker, bbq, and wrenches are sounding really good.

Hey Bruce if my son doesn't show you can ride with me.
Speedster "D" - little weeniees, maybe I'm asking for to much?
Who's in on the poker game?? I need a head count. Cabanaboy~#4 more days!!

Stephan - that would be COOL if you cold make it! Hopefully we'll see ya in the Target parking lot this Saturday! New brake job, drive safe on the Ortega Hwy, my brutha!!

Bruce - just as a matter of reference, here's a pic of Desi's car!

Lazy8, if decide you want to drive out to Mission Viejo with me I will be leaving home at 8am. Give me a ring at (949) 413-8900 for directions.

Bruce and Stephan, hope to see you guys there!
