Since this has bumped to 3 pages, I reprint my comment from page 2 just so everyone finds it.


FYI to those from OC, we will not be having a pre-stage down here. The idea is to meet at Denny's off the Roxford St exit in Sylmar like Bob said above.

The drive is a little over 60 miles from my house, so plan time accordingly!

testing...Is the mic on?

I too will not be having a "pre-stage" at my house for the LA County/Riverside/San Bernardino. The idea is to meet at Denny's off the Roxford St exit in Sylmar like Bob said above.

The Drive is about 45 minutes from my house.

I say again...I too will not be having a "pre-stage" at my house for the LA County/Riverside/San Bernardino.

umm, never mind - got the map.

little over 480 miles from my house, so it's a 3 hour drive, give or take 10 minutes for rest stops . :blink:

But won't have to rush this time since I'll be driving from Pasdena - HWY 210 all the way to Denny's . Man, that's early - must have my six pack of coffee as soon as I wake up.

i'll be leaving for my cross country trip in a couple of weeks so thats the last time i'll be seeing most of you
i just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for making my time in socal so enjoyable
i had a great time detailing and fixing, drinking beer and eating pizza, and talking about our great cars
i'll be attending 968 events back in NJ, but i'll be representing the west coast (the best i can), even though i'll be home
thanks again guys and girls, you are all welcome at my place if youre ever back east

Wow! Looks like a great event with beautiful 968s in attendance. Flash your new wheels really set off the car, makes my daily driver look pretty shabby. Good luck, Bob Blackwell.

P.S.

Bob, I trust it was your sense of humor that made you post "now if i can just figure out where to stick my new trophy" on .net :D ;)

I can imagine there will be a few suggestions to that one... all pointing to the same spot, I'm afraid... :o :o :P :P
