So Cal, SOC'er Looking for 3D's Drive, Dinner & Drinks....

Hello all you SO CAL SOC'ers.. I am looking to put together a little Dinner-drive and hook-up at a very cool open-air Mexican resturant in Orange (I think) for dinner sometime this summer... I think the name of the establishment is called Madiahaci's... There is plenty of parking and you can watch your car while you eat.. Besides they have strolling madiahaci's during dinner, it seems like a lot of fun and I heard the chow is good too. So anyone up for a lite evening drive then stop in for some chow and caddie margritias, just say the word and we can set this event up..

Jimbo, Gabe, Adrain or Desi, If you happen to know were and what I am talking about and you know the name please post it so I can get more infomation on local...

Speedster "D"

Let's find out where that restaurant is and GO! We're in!

Dave, I'm not familiar with the place you are talking about however, I'm game to meet up. Do you have a date in mind? How about Saturday, August 11th?

Speedster 'D', my brutha!!

I think the restaurant you're thinking of is El Mariachi! It's on Tustin Ave. (west of 55 Fwy) just north of Katella. Sounds like a cool place to try for Saturday lunch after a short morning cruise. Then you could get your menudo fix taken care of! Maybe sometime middle of August?

I'll look into a route we could run that will end at El Mariachi and post on here so fellow SOCers in SoCal can join in!

Peace - Out!

OK - let me throw this out...

When we determine a date (Aug 11th/Aug 18th/whatever) here's the suggested agenda;

1) 10:00 AM - Meet in the Target parking lot in Mission Viejo, OC (just off the I-5 Fwy).

2) Cruise through Trabuco Cyn, Modjeska Cyn, Silverado Cyn, continue on Katella Ave towards Orange.

3) 12:00-1:00 PM - arrive at El Mariachi Restaurant for lunch/drinks/music.

4) 2:00 PM - Watch Speedster 'D' do the Mexican Hat Dance.

5) 2:03 PM - Watch the bouncers throw Speedster 'D' and MUSBJIM out of the restaurant.

6) 2:15 PM - Watch local news channel televise cops putting a beat-down on Speedster 'D' and MUSBJIM in restaurant parking lot.

7) 2:35 PM - SOC group recovers from rolling on the floor laughing at the Dave & Jim Show, jump in Speedys for drive home!

All ideas and suggestions welcome...

I'd shoot for the 11th. the 18 th is Dylan's 16th B-day and were kinda busy that day... You guys are more than welcomed to putt down to Whittier for some bar-b-Que and drinks that day, besides you all have meant Dylan LOL......

Speedster "D" the HAT dancer...

This looks good , all work on Tub will be done, calling out all local SOC's . Cabanaboy ~ let's do this!!

We're down. Frank, if you're going we could meet up on the ghetto side of the Ortega.

We're kinda leaning towards Saturday, August 11th, for this cruise. Quick & Easy.

Show of hands on who's able to do the 11th!

11th works best for me since its my daughter's birthday the weekend of the 18th...

11th is gooooood !! Cabanaboy

Jim, Dave, eet al;
You guys are having too much fun. You have no idea how much Sharon and I wish we could join you. Keep the Speedster brotherhood going and hoist a drink to us before the mental fog sets in.

Drive fast, Smile wide,
Dusty (and the blonde bride)

I'll try, I am having carb problems again and I haven't had the time to fix it due to a new business adventure.


Gabe

SOCers Becky informed me we have #2 weddings on the 11th , must abort, Gabe hook up with Larry J good chance he will find the problem. Cabanaboy ~ weather looooks good!

Thanks Dusty, tell that Sweetie of your's Lili and I say "Howdy"... P.S. I STILL have not used your belts yet! LOL... The 11th looks good folks..

I'll be coming down from the north side so I do not know if Lili and i will make the OC run up... We might just meet at the location and save you guys some parking! Adrian, let me know if your headed down or if you wanna run down from Brea or somewhere.. You too Gabe (If you get that carb problemo worked out!) Lazy8ball you too...

Speedster "D"

OK, here's the low-down... The name of the joint is "Moreno's" and it has this sweet looking Ivy covered entrance, kinda like an old ranch style farm main gate... Address is:

4328 East Chapman Avenue
Orange, CA 92869
(714) 639-2181

I am not sure if they have their Strolling Mariachis at lunch time, but this place is very cool looking with some good food too, (I hear)

I figure to meet their around 12:00 noon, unless you have another time in mind?

Speedster "D"

OK, Speedster 'D', Moreno's on Chapman Ave. is the place.

Anyone interested in joining this cruise (Sat 8/11/07), I'll be in the Target parking lot at 10:00am. Target is located on the Alicia exit off the I-5 Fwy in Mission Viejo/OC.

Those coming from south of Mission Viejo exit on Alicia and Turn right.

Those coming from north of Mission Viejo exit on Alicia and turn Left.

I will be leaving the Target parking lot at 10:30am and cruising throught Silverado Canyon heading for Moreno's Restaurant.

Peace - Out!

If your up to Mexican food this place it totaly awesome

So who's going to this?

Speedster D - I can meet you at the Coco's parking lot on Imperial Hwy and State College like last time. Maybe 11:30 am? We can cruise down and meet the rest of the group at the restaurant from there.

Susan and I will be there.

Cool Stephan, see ya there!

BTW - there is some construction on the Ortega that cuts the road down to one-lane (one-way traffic). You might not experience too much of a delay (if at all) at the time of morning you'll be passing through there.

Be safe!

Just got word from the Mrs that there's a chance we will have family obligations this Saturday. I'm still going to try and squeeze this in though. Dave, I'll touch base by phone before then to confirm our meet up.

Adrian thats cool, just give me a call, cause I just found out that we have folks coming over that day too... I can't beleive this SH*T... I wanted to go and eat at this place with all the Speedies sitting outside in parking lot.... that would be very cool.. I
m dying over here! Jimbo and Stephan, you're my last chance here Bro's.. Jimbo, I know you and your bee-ute-full wife are going, and I just feel bad that I can't make it.. I am going to TRY to meet you there for a short while but I can't promise since I do not know when the folks are going to arrive here Saturday....

Again, sorry bout the late notice crap...

Jimbo and Steven please enjoy and tell me about the food and take some cool shots of the rides and food joint too! LOL...

Speedster "D' missing another DAMN event! :-(

Jim, my brotha, I guess we can't let them down!

We have family coming over too; Susan's sisters and brother are driving out from Corcoran. I'm thinking of letting them tag along or meet up later--we're still going.

I got the Speedster back on the road last night after a week of carpet installin', rewirin', and stereo upgradin'. Everybody with a "store-bought" tub should sleep well tonight with the knowledge that they didn't have to mangle a Vintage carpet kit to fit a CMC, or track down 10 different wires that were connected to nothing.

On the bright side I found that electrical gremlin, one of the dead end wires under the dash was supposed to be a ground.

Sorry Guys, but I'm out. I simply won't be able to squeeze this in and get home with enough time to bathe the gasoline smell out of my hair! Hopefully, we can put another cruise again together soon - even if its a simple Carbon Canyon run to Flo's.

Have fun y'all and stay safe.

Stephan and Jim-bro.. Wanted to check in to see if you guys meant up and chowed down! LOL... I need to find out if that food is really that good... Gabe said YES so i am still waiting to hear... Did you guys hear the music too?

Speedster "D"

David, my brutha!

Naw! I spoke with Stephan and told him I wouldn't feel right about him driving all the way from Temecula to join a 2-car parade. So we nixed the cruise for another time.

Instead, me and Ginny cruised the Speedy down to Laguna Beach and had a bite to eat and gauked at all the lobster-red-sunburned tourists on the Main Beach boardwalk. YIKES that's gotta hurt!

P.S. - It was also BIKINI BABES ON PARADE that day - Woooo Hoooo!!

Later!

Good to hear that Jimbo... I still wanna head down there and check things out, but I have to find a JOB first... LOL... Let me know if you're looking for a Sales Trainer/Recruiter... LOL

We need to get a ride done soon before this SUN goes away... naught! LOL...

Later Bro..
