Re-scheduled SoCal SOC cruise...

...to the Lyon Air Museum in Orange County!

The Museum's March & April calendar was filling up so I took pro-active action and reserved the only remaining Saturday morning available in March for our SoCal SOC group. Hopefully this will be enough lead time for you knuckleheads to make arrangements to attend.

The new date for this cruise is Saturday, March 5, 2011. The museum would like us on site by 10:00AM for the docent assigned to our group to start our tour. Location of 09:30AM Saturday rendezvous will be announced later.

After our morning visit at Lyon Air Museum we would cruise around the corner to True Speed's showroom (Porsche collection). BTW - they have a couple of Speedsters from Vintage in the showroom. After touring True Speed we'll walk next door and check out the Crevier Classic Car Showroom.

To follow would be a cruise on Pacific Coast Highway to a ytbd location for lunch.

Give a shout out as to who will be joining me on this Cruise!!

Jim, that weekend there are a lot of things happening in conjunction with the Porsche swap meet/show at Phoenix Club. There are openhouses at restoration shops etc. I'll get you the details so maybe do a visit to a resto shop.

Thanks for the reminder about the open house at European Collectibles! I'll see if the museum possibly has a morning opening for the next Saturday or maybe just push this Lyon Cruise back to later in April.

Hooray - we finally hooked that up! I'll be there!

Also going on later Saturday afternoon is the European Collectibles Open House in Costa Mesa...

...and the All Porsche Swap Meet being held at the Phoenix Club in Anaheim the next day (Sunday).

...I'm just saying...

Just checked with the boss I'm good to go : )

I still need a Porsche wooden shift knob for Speedie...

Is this run still on for Saturday?

I'm out until I get the new tub, whould be a few more weeks

Ken - it seems that the timing for this weekend is a little 'off' for most of our SoCal group, so there really isn't a group thing happening this weekend. However, the weekend weather forecast calls for clear sunny skies with temps in the mid-to-high 70's. That usually means a big turn-out for local car events.

Case in point would be Cars & Coffee in Irvine. Not too far of a drive from your location in Placentia. Here is a link to a website that has directions and photo galleries of this weekly gathering...

...and here's a website with better photo galleries of the same event...

Not sure if I'm going to Cars & Coffee in the morning, but definitely going to this event at European Collectibles (Costa Mesa) in the late afternoon...

Also, the All Porsche Swap Meet sponsored by the 356 Registry will be on Sunday at the Phoenix Club (Anaheim - Ball Road exit off 57 fwy). This is a really cool gathering of all things Porsche. There are other P-car open houses listed as well.

Give me a holler if you're interested in either of these events.

P.S. - we're planning a shakedown cruise with Vince 'El Diablo' when he gets his new ultr-wide Speedster. That should be in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned to this channel...

Peace - Out!

Cars and Coffee is usually pretty good the Saturday before the Lit Show/ Swap Meet. I will there, and the Costa Mesa Open houses are very cool too.

be right there

I can make cars and coffee.

Who is planning on being there?

I just drooled my keyboard to death.....

I think I can....

I think I saw that butt on "Vacation man"...must be a good shave and a buff...

O.K. then, I'm in for C&C. See ya there.

Anyone heard from Desi lately? Awhile back he'd mentioned some issues of concern.

O.K. I'll see whoever shows up at Cars & Coffee. I will be there by 06:40 on the row against the freeway.

Keep in mind the updated weather forecast for clear skies and temps in the 80s. The lot will fill early with a zillion Porsches (a lot of Porsche activities in the area) along with all the usual turnout.

I'll be there at 6:37

Great turnout at Cars & Coffee. After leaving C&C we cruised to a great breakfast diner. Afterwards motored to TruSpeed to drool over really nice Porsches and then stopped next door at the Crevier BMW collection. Too much fun for a car guy...

Rob 'Bobsled' rolling into Cars & Coffee early Saturday morning...
