Hotel Del Coronado

"UP DATE ON HOTEL DEL" Grant Harper has done the pre-run , we have the maps ready to go, we will be meeting at the Chevron Station at I-5 and La Costa Blvd , please try to be there at 9:30 for the drivers meeting, we would like to leave by 10 A.M. please let us know if you will be attending, this way we can keep track of the cars on the day of the event! If you run into a problem please call Grant's cell 760-583-7892, we will continue to check the web site so let us know. Let's Goooo!!!!

Grant T., apparently Desi is pretty close to you, I will be leaving the South Bay location at 8:00 AM and so far it looks like I am alone.
I can be at the interchange of 5/405 approx between 8:45-9:00, so perhaps you two can find a convenient location and I will meet you.
Esther wants us at the LaCosta location at 9:30 but I think it will be closer to 10:00 by the time I get there, so if you are coming we will need to leave your meeting spot real soon after my arrival.

It would be nice to have a few cars leaving 5/405 location with me,
so some of you guys get off your asses....
Gabe, Joe L/Curtis are you guys in and if so, what route are you taking.....

Curt, I ended up getting a ticket on the shovel for loud pipes....
Lic Plate says UNSTABL, cop says, "that bike looks pretty stable to me" I said the bike is, but the rider isn't....he laughed...

Hey I want in. Proud new driver of "VSPDSTR" From Troy in NorCal. I want to Join you guys for Del Coranado. I am in Laguna Beach and would like to meet at the 405 location. Anybody out there?

Vince, Desi,Brad
I am planning on being at the tech nite at Desi's shop on Thursday and hopefully will know for sure if I am going on the run. Need a sitter/drop off location for my 12 yr old (like jennifer) and wife is not sure yet. Looking forward to the run though.

Direction to my shop at DESITINT.com click contact your there, if you come in off Bake onto Rockfield make a left then the first driveway right ( the second driveway is too steep) go to second row building all the way to end #8 Mclaren J we'll confirm meet time and take off time by Thursday evening for Del Coronado. Cabanaboy OUT!!

Vince, according to my reading of the posts the last few weeks the following people have commited to the Coronado cruise: Manto, Quiroz, White, George,and Galvan. I think Boccia dropped out.

Should have a count by Thursday evening. Cabanaboy OUT!!

...just as a suggestion for LA/OC SOCer's gathering to convoy down to the La Costa exit for Hotel Del C cruise.

The easiest fwy on/off location would be the Carl's Jr. (hamburger joint with a huge parking lot in back) on the Lake Forest Ave. exit as you approach the southbound 405/5 junction.

To continue to La Costa, the southbound on-ramp for the 5 fwy is right next to this Carl's Jr.

P.S. - Vince, you could be grinding on a mondo Carl's Jr. breakfast burger as you drive.

Peace - Out!

Sorry I have to back out of this event. My car is headed back to Kirk to resolve a heating problem. I will try to make the next run. I was really looking forward to meeting you guys and seeing your cars. Have fun and take lots of pictures.

BOCCIA IS IN!

I'm in for sure! i never said i was out! how dare you!

j/k.

i hope to drive up with j. warren from east san diego.

james...i'll email you with my contact info...

Antonio, I am sorry! Not only did I say you were out but I had you confused with the Northerners! You were on my list all the time. See you Saturday.

Hi Warren!

Sorry to hear that you are still experiencing cooling problems with your car. Probably just as well to discover and fix that problem now as opposed to having those same problems miles away from home! Hope you get it back on the road real soon.

Anyway, now you'll have to find another way to stay cool this weekend - as the weather forecast for your neighborhood is 110+ degrees.

Keep hydrated with beaucoup margaritas!!

Peace - Out!

Hi all,

Things are looking grim for me. I started to get very sick yesterday and I am not sure if I'll be over it by Sat. I am drowning myself in DayQuil and NightQuil, though. Car is running pretty good.

Gabe

Hey Jim

Actually, it was 114 degrees here today. Since my car needs some attention, I went flying. They closed my airport, due to the fires out here, but was able to convince the Event Commander to let me go take my pictures. My other passion is flying and taking pictures for developers etc. I am really disappointed that I cannot make the run to the Del, but I will see and meet you guys soon. Gotta go, I need more Tequilla.

Vince, Desi and Brad: Sorry - couldn't make the tech nite this evening. BUT I am going to do the DEL run on Saturday. email me direct or my cell is 949-929-5635. Hope to join you guys and we can run south together.

Paging Mangoman!

Grant, the plan for everyone who wants to caravan to the rendevous in Encinitas (La Costa exit off 5 fwy) for the Hotel Del C cruise, is to meet at Desi's (Cabanaboy) shop at 8:00 a.m on Saturday morning. See link below. I won't be able to make the cruise because of other obligations, but I will be at Desi's on Sat morning to take some pics. See ya then!

Peace - Out!

From what I see 4 maybe 5 speedster in our group ( make sure to do the simple check list oil, air, lugnuts, aaahhhh GAS!) anyway looking foward to a great run, in the HOT SUN, having goobs of fun ( was that lame? ) whatever, see you Saturday!! Cabanaboy OUT!

Grant, don't be sorry, I didn't make it either, in fact, I have little interest in standing around bonding with the boys, talking about cars, .....especially putting a wrench in my hand...
I could make an exception if there is some single malt involved...

No way in hell I can be in O.C. by 8:00, I'm leaving Redondo at 8:00.
I need my beauty sleep (see my pic's)
It sounds like you guys have a little thing going, so I think I'll just meet you at the La Costa location.......

If there is anyone coming from North of O.C. and want company, let me know.......

I was looking in the registry and counted 50 members that live within 40 miles of my house, and I will be driving to Sandy Eggo tomorrow alone.....
I do believe some of you should be ashamed of yourselves.....
You sit on this site stroking each other off like there is no tomorrow, and when it comes to stepping to the plate, you choke.
No problem.........

Ahh Vince, I feel bad. Sorry you are going it alone. We would love to come, but duty calls in the Parenting department. What about our friend in El Segundo? Curt? Is he not going?

Why the heck are you guys getting to La Costa at 9:30 am? GEEZ that is early.. It takes 2 freaking hours to get to SD from anywhere in LA, why so damn early.. You gotta eat by 11:00 or something? Man what happened to a relaxing drive and lunch at 1 or 2. Then more talking and a cool drive home by 4 pm. Everyone seems to be leaving LA or OC at 8:00 or 7:30. WHY my Brutha's...

Looking for insight!

Speedster "D"

It SURE IS early....if we meet at 5/405 at 0800 we should be in SD by 0900/0930 and what then...breakfast ? I like Dave's idea of eating around 1200/1300 and heading back around 1600...eeaasy daay !!! specially as I (at least) can't drink (too much) 'cause of the drive.

Jennifer - did I read you had a 12yr old? me too - we should've gotten them together and they coulda babysat each other?

Vince - I will probably meet the guys at Desi's but it is very easy to wait for you - give me a call when you reach the 405/55 fwys and we can meet up and head south as a caravan of 2. 949-929-5635.

Maybe stop somewheres for a coffee? Del Mar gunshow? or...??

grant

Last year everyone planned on getting here at 1000 and no one took into account the southbound traffic on Saturday morning. I think Vince and the gang pulled in around 1100 or so. The cruise will take two hours and 15 minutes so if we can pull out at 1015 we will be parking and eating by 1300 hours. We are in no hurry but that is the reality of the timing so we will be waiting for you. Bring lots of water!!

Grant, I would love to go to the gun show, but I think that is out.
at least for tomorrow, perhaps another time..... as far as timing, I can be in the 405/55/5 area around 9:00 if i leave Redondo around 8:00 as planned, If you guys want to wait fine, if not
fine....frankly, I have fun driving my car whether I'm in a group or by myself...I just find it interesting that there are so many owners who get on this site and can't stop talking about how frigging great these cars are, and you can't get 6 guys to actually take them on a nice long ride......but they will sit on this site and mentally masterbate each other all day long, and say, "oh your car is so cool"......Sorry, I just get real frustrated with some of you, you have no problem spending 30-40 LARGE for a car that sits in your garage, or doesn't get more that 10 miles from the house....

David S. if you are monitoring this thread, you should be embarrased
by the showing from So. Cal.

Grant, I wrote down your cell and I will call when I reach the 55 on the 405, I figure about 8:45-9:00.....I have done this run 3 times, I know where I need to be, to be at the 10:00 meeting spot in S.D.
considering the course and the Thunder Ranch stop, 10:00 is a reasonable time to meet at LaCosta so I plan to follow the original plan, I will stop in O.C. to pick up cars if you guys can come up with a meeting spot, if not I'll see you guys in LaCosta.
I will check this thread in the morning for any updates......
good night........

Vince: As Jim says above - great spot to meet -
"The easiest fwy on/off location would be the Carl's Jr. (hamburger joint with a huge parking lot in back) on the Lake Forest Ave. exit as you approach the southbound 405/5 junction. "
I will be there after meeting with the others at 0800 - by that time breakfast and coffee will be perfect.

later...

...as Rosanna Rosanadanna used to say "it's ALWAYS something!"

Oh well, see you guys around 9:00 am at Carl's Jr. on Lake Forest! Desi, I will meet you at your shop at 8:00 for some pics.

Let me see, is it IM vs VS, or Pan vs Tubular, or Type I vs Type IV, or Knott's vs Paso, or this weekend vs next weekend, or 8:00 vs 9:00 - I can't keep track!

Peace - Out!

Sorry for late post (or early) stayed up late last nite installing clear paint protection still have parts that need to be installed this a.m. it looks like some will meet at my shop then will make our way over to Carls I'll fuel up there (Chevron) in any case I look foward to a fun day, fly low and stay under the radar. Cabanaboy OUT!!

Dave and Grant,
Regret I cannot attend the Coronado event. Daughter in town unexpectedly. Sorry. Everybody enjoy the great day and the Hotel Del.
