[mciggy]

[09sscalicobalt]

[10yearrx7]

More than you can afford pal.... Ferrari.

[JMak]

Look forward to meeting everyone. I am moving from Arizona on the 25th so it will be nice to get out as we should be settled in by then.

Oh here is when they raced and ended at Neptune Nets

[10yearrx7]

That video sucks without the real sound of the 2jz, they are freakin' mean sounding. I might make this one but it is pretty far from me in Lake Elsinore. I'm really interested in going to that restaurant and getting some pictures of my car, so i'm interested in route 1 or 2.

Car pool and split up gas money with a pal or something. Cost down and can be fun.

[jedhead]

I am up for route 1 or 2.

Bob

[94fd3s]

I like route 2. Is the departure time going to be mid afternoon again? I may have to start making excuses about getting home late unless I can get my better half to go along.

[whiteboyjoe2000]

I'm in for whatever but I vote for 2.

[mciggy]

i think we should make the departure time a little earlier, we should meet up at 10-11 or so and start the run at 12.

[Vettezuki]

I'll leave the voting open for the rest of the day and close it tonight. Then I'll put up a poll for meet/departure times.

[10yearrx7]

I have confirmed I can't make this one. I' got 2 car shows this month and 1 next month and I just don't have the money for this to. Have fun and be careful out there! Hopefully I can make the next one!

Just a thought- at sports games and other athletic activities they have some one sing the star spangled Banner. Before we head out on a run some one should play the song over their radio. May be a dumb a idea but I think it could be the edge we need to stay safe. Motorgen is growing in numbers and that brings more opportunity for accidents.

[Kozak]

I don't understand what the star spangled banner has to do with safety...

[Vettezuki]

Added to FB.

[Vettezuki]

Route 2 was clear winner. Now see poll for run times.

[whiteboyjoe2000]

Yaaaayyyy for 2. heheheheh

[Redondo Jon]

I don't understand what the star spangled banner has to do with safety...Yeah... I thought that Ride of the Valkyries was more apt. It’ll make it into one of my videos some day. I vote for the earlier start time.

[Vettezuki]

Ride of the Valkyries makes you think of safety? ;)

[Vettezuki]

I'm gonna let the poll run through the weekend at least. Try to get some feedback from your friends who might also come along. It's looking pretty strong on the earlier time for now, but that can change quick.

[don2000]

I'm in for early. I hope I can make it...

[Vettezuki]

I'm in for early. I hope I can make it...


Make it.

[jedhead]

I have drill team practice in Anaheim until 10am.

[AARP]

With the way gas prices are headed right now, I think my unemployed ass is out for this one.

[09sscalicobalt]

haha yea i filled up yest went to pomona and back and then pomona and back and then to sd and back today and im down to less than 1/4 of a tank again lol shit sucks

[aggie1979]

I'll be there. Either time is good for me. I live in Camarillo, not to far from me.
I took the 27 down to Malibu today.

[94fd3s]

I should be able to make this run. The last time I ended this run I picked up a huge nail and ended up limping home on my space saver. I hope history does not repeat itself.

[whiteboyjoe2000]

So whats the count now on people going?

[Vettezuki]

So whats the count now on people going?


It's always hard to tel for sure. But my gut tells me we'll be at least 50.

[09sscalicobalt]

well if our car club meet for march fails we might just have our meet in conjunction with you so 50 + 10-25 cobalts lol

[blackax]

well if our car club meet for march fails we might just have our meet in conjunction with you so 50 + 10-25 cobalts lol

Damn these things are getting big

[09sscalicobalt]

these things as in motorgen meets or cobalts?lol

[09sscalicobalt]

so we decide on a time and meeting place yet?

[Vettezuki]

so we decide on a time and meeting place yet?

Earlier time and wherever is best/close to A in the route linked in OP.

[JMak]

OP needs to make a thread started on ls1gto so we can get a good gathering of goats. :thumbs_up:

[Vettezuki]

SeanPlunk says he's on the dispersal of info tonight. I'll confirm that ls1gto is on that list.

[09sscalicobalt]

ok cool sounds good

[SeanPlunk]

OP needs to make a thread started on ls1gto so we can get a good gathering of goats. :thumbs_up:

You guys are definitely on the list. Started my new position at work and I've been swamped and the threads aren't up yet. Tomorrow night FOR SURE. Wish me luck, I'm on my own at the new branch tomorrow.

[Vettezuki]

You know what you're doing. You'll be fine. :thumbs_up:

[SoCalC55]

Wish me luck, I'm on my own at the new branch tomorrow.Congrats sir :bigthumbsup:

[kdracer73]

You will be great !

[CorrodedConformity]

I'll do what I can to make sure my '91 Supra is done and ready for this. It sounds like a lot of fun!

[sinaSRT-4]

I'm looking forward to this cruise. Car will be in even better shape than December's GMR run.

[Redondo Jon]

This applies to the end of the run.
The map for the up-coming cruise has us turning left onto P.C.H. from Mulholland Hwy. (Driving perspective) I think we should be turning right instead.
Neptune’s Net: 42505 Pacific Coast Hwy. Malibu, CA 90265-2221

We should have a little gathering of goats show for this....:pot_stir:

Goats? Maybe they'll make cheese!

[Vettezuki]

Clearly the earlier time was preferred, so let's do that. See OP. I'm going to push back just a touch to hopefully acomodate jedhead and maybe a few people who wanted later. Meet 12:00, leave 12:30. Precise route map to come.

Yeah, that would involve me changing the time on like 40 boards which would be confusing...

I can do it though...

Does the meet @12:00 leave at 12:30 work? What did you put on the other boards?

[Kozak]

Just leave a little later than planned, don't we usually do that anyway? lol, no one has to know, sneaky sneaky.

[SeanPlunk]

Does the meet @12:00 leave at 12:30 work? What did you put on the other boards?

11:15, leave at noon.

[Vettezuki]

11:15, leave at noon.

Ah, just leave it then. I'll update the OP.

[RiSSa]

I'll be there.

[JMak]

I think the time change is this weekend, don't forget.

As luck would have it mapquest screwed with me and gave a bad location for Neptune's Net :censored:. It actually is a right turn off of Mulholland onto PCH.

[Redondo Jon]

I wouldn’t bother changing the original map. As long as everyone is aware, that should suffice. Actually, I was beginning to wonder if any one saw my post. :p

[EDIT] Updated route from don2000. See OP.

[Difm]

Finally got my alignment done and some new tires on the subbie, ill be there with some friends taking pictures all the way to neptunes, pumped for this run guys!

[revolution x]

So where the meet up spot? I clicked on link and route wasn't recognized is it woodland hills?

[don2000]

Yes woodland hills, it was at the rite aid just south of the freeway off the Topange Cyn exit, but I think a better spot would be on the north side of the freeway. The Promenade at Woodland Hills Shopping Center parking lot in the north west corner of the lot. It appears to be the same location they hold Supercar Sunday (same idea as cars and coffee). Their event is over at 10am so that should not conflict. I might go early to check it out.

[JMak]

So does Neptune Nets know they possibly have possibly 60+ cars and possibly 100+ people coming and ready to accommodate us for lunch and parking? Their parking lot does not look that big from an aerial shot.

[Redondo Jon]

We’re just going to descend upon them like a plague of locusts...

Good question though. I don’t think they know we’re coming.

[Vettezuki]

No. I'm usually a little hesitant to call places because I don't really know how many people are showing and don't want a business to put on extra staff and then turnout shows up flat. Though this time, maybe I should call. :huh:

[09sscalicobalt]

haha the parking lot is big we went with socalecotecs in oct on a saturday around 1ish and found parking no problem but the lot isnt that big at all lol and parking on the street sucks

[duhveed]

That was on a rainy day that's why no cars were there. we'll have to park on the side street probably

[94fd3s]

It's kind of confusing to see the OP with the Rite Aid address for the meet but the route showing the start point at the Macy's parking lot in the Promenade at Woodland Hills Shopping Center. Just want to make sure we don't have anyone waiting in the wrong parking lot.

[jedhead]

You might want to get the phone number ahead of time and give them a heads up just before we leave for the run.

Bob

[don2000]

I might do the same thing. What time were you thinking of going?

Not sure, I don't agree with mornings usually, but I could be there around 8:30 or so.

There was an extremely small chance I would have to work that day which is unfortunately get bigger each day, I might not make this run after all.

[casper]

If it's not too late I'm down for attending.

[Vettezuki]

See you there. 11:15 am. Check route in OP.

[Damian]

I will try and make this one. I've done a tone of work to my newly boosted Eclipse and I need to make sure my hard work and money weren't wasted. I'm working night shift, so we will see how I feel in the morning.

[mark2jz]

so is the start location the promenade? or rite aid?

[JMak]

Do people usually bring 2way radios to keep in communication and popo spotting? If so I will bring my set.

We've tried before, but in canyon runs they don't work so well.

Promenade !

[duhveed]

See you guys later today!

[ZexGX]

I think I am out. My Bird is still down and my Jeeps power steering pump and MPG isn't up to the task (even if the suspension is). That and I am just now getting to sleep.

[silvein]

Well that was fun.

[SeanPlunk]

Sorry I missed. I was 50/50 and then walked out and saw the rear right tire on the Cobra was basically flat. I filled it up 2 weekends ago and I obviously have a slow leak. I'm getting it patched next Saturday..

How was it? Traffic? How many cars?

[don2000]

Good times!

It was a lot of fun. Tons of cars. The 101 got a little backed up on the way in. And almost no traffic on the cruse itself.

[silvein]

How was it? Traffic? How many cars?

My experience was different than others as I waited and helped get Ben's car started when his battery died. So there was just the 3 (then 4) of us on the road most of the time, and a lot of the traffic was cool and moved over.

At the meet though there were a whole lot of cars, but I didn't count. More than 40, probably more than 50, maybe even 60.

Left my lights on. Have no idea why I turned them on in the first place. There were 60 cars.

Sorry I couldn't print more directions. I got about twenty copies out and the printer ran out of toner. I *think* most people sort of stayed together as don2000 who knew the route was leading and not much reason to get mixed up once out onto Mulholland. However, Leedom for sure got mixed up at some point.

The scenery was fantastic and Neptune's net has a lot of personality. Not bad food and reasonable prices too.

Just got home, beginning to transfer video.

[Leedom]

Had a good time. Even getting lost the roads were fun.

[JMak]

Great meeting everyone, it was an awesome day with some great twisties and Neptunes Nets had some great food and a very interesting crowd of people.

[kdracer73]

Great run ! We had a blast ! Are we doing a separate pic thread ??

[duhveed]

Yeah make a separate picture thread I wanna see them!

Great cruise today not crowded at all

[whiteboyjoe2000]

It was good.....Neptunes was just a little too crowded for my liking though.

[Vettezuki]

Sorry fellas, passed out cold once I got home.

I went to the junk yard before and picked up more things than I expected. Next time.

I had a blast. I was by myself on Stunt road. Ben and John caught up after a while. I was following a group of Harley rides that were not in any kind of hurry.

Just eat some Cup O'Noodles or go without food to make up the difference. You can eat at the great La Tolteca at the end of GMR.

[Krwy]

I had a great time. I was with the small group in the Rite Aid parking lot. There was an early Subie, a Subie hatch, 2 last gen F Body Camaros, a Sonic Blue '03 Cobra, and me in my black '03 Mach 1. We seen all the cars leave from another location, and we stood there, scratched our heads, then finally jumped in to follow. Other then that it was great, I've been thru the canyons before, but never with such a large group. I was never updated on the final meet destination, this is my first post here, I spend my time over on SVTPerformance.

There were too many sites to update and we didn't have the time to revise them with updated info. Sorry for any inconvenience.

It was no big deal, everything got figured out. Even the 1st page on this thread said Rite-Aid, I searched around last night and seen it on 8 or 9 to meet at Promenade.

I had a great time still. Reminded me of the OCHP cruise up to Big Bear a few years back.

[xSpeedAddictX]

Does anyone who drives a Silver Cobalt remember a black 350Z behind you from Stunt to Malibu? We were followed by a red 370Z and white G35?
