Hi Guys -

I was thinking it would be nice for a number of the Southern California GT owner's to get together to discuss and chat about various options for travel, shipment, etc. to National Rally X in Dearborn, MI. If, for nothing else, it will be nice to see everyone.

So, I'm proposing that we meet for lunch at Flo's, Chino Airport (http://www.floscafes.com/) for lunch. It's rather centrally located and probably inconvenient for everyone, which is likely a good thing.

Wednesdays are a nice midweek getaway, so I was thinking about April 1 or 8. Otherwise, if another day is a better choice, let's chat about it.

Let's set it for April 8 then - that way I won't have to hurry home that same day, and can spend some time with my kids.

I'll plan to get there around 11:00 - 11:30 am, so as to chat with others in the lot as they arrive.

It's not necessary to sign up for this, only to let others know that you may be there. If your plans change and you can make it, just show up!

Hi guys, I won't be able to do Flo but I'm interested in transporting my FGT from LA & back and would be great to share in the expense.

Thanks.

Hey Ralphie Boy,

Did you get snowed in? I assume Number 2 will not be at Flo's tomorrow unless you skedaddled out of there yesterday. :eek

Great lunch today at Flo's Cafe (Chino Airport) - was great to see everyone - especially Susan and Vince's nice young kids.

3 GT's - George (Midnite Blu), Kevin (kgrgt) and my buddy Jeff (PL510*Jeff). I had brought my '66 Mustang down, but a blown Power Steering hose forced me to leave it at my daughter's house - so, I brought her 2007 Maserati coupe.

Thanks, everyone for showing up, and hop you had a good time too.

Thanks Ralphie! We had a great time. My son bartered a Flo's Cow cap out of me and has been wearing it proudly ever since. He thought the pilots coming in to grab a bite to eat and then back into their planes was "so cool". See you guys in Detroit.

So did you guys plan anything or did you just eat?

Will some of you be driving to R 10?

Dave -

Alan would like to drive from San Diego, but will ship if he can't find a buddy to drive witb; Jeff will be driving from either Washington or Palm Springs; I'll be leaving early, around the 17th and taking a circuitous route; Vince will be shipping; George and son would like to drive, but might fly & rent; I don't think Kevin will be going....

Check with Alan, Jeff or George as they firm up their plans.
