    There's a Denny's about a block from my hotel right off of the 91 and Beach Blvd. It's about a mile to Knott's so it's close but not too close to where it will be super busy with other car people.

    It's at 7740 Orangethorpe Ave. on the corner of Beach Blvd just north of the 91 (see map). Let's meet there Sunday morning. What time???

    i've seen people meet in the dennys lot there b4... it gets kinda packed.

    what about even your hotel? i think that might be the best?

    if not we will meet up on one of those side streets it might be good. even on Orangethope a bit west from there... between western and beach on the north side?

    i wouldn't suggest going down south on Beach and making a left turn on La Palma cuz its hard to get in line sometimes that way. i go the round about way down western and the make the left on La Palma. when i get there you guys can follow.

    i say 9 am... we can wait between 9 and 9:20 if anyone is late. if every one is that that say they will be there at 9 is there at 9am we leave right then and head off to the show...

    sorry guys i'm not one to get in line at 6:00 am and have my car over heat and foul out.... when the show don't really start until 10 am. beside not matter what time we get there they will always always stick us in the back! i think 5 hours is enough time to look at cars ;)

    let me know about the hotel if you think there is parking.. if not we will go with the other plan. then our plan is done ;)

    Hey guys......what about us meeting at that Dennys that Erick was talking about for breakfast Sunday morning...if the lot is full we can just park at the Motel...or someplace else. If Erick or someone gets there before us they could reserve a table for everyone(just need to know who is going)....what do you think? That way we could meet..grab a decent breakfast and head on down to the show together...I'm thinking about being there(for breakfast) at around 7:45-8am then we have plenty of time to leave at 9am!

    OK, here's my idea. Let's plan on leaving my hotel parking lot at 9AM sharp. We can park there and still meet at Denny's anytime before then because the Denny's is only 1 block away (walking distance). Those that want to meet at Denny's, be there at 7:30AM (it might be crowded).

    So 1)park at hotel anytime before 9AM, 2)meet at Denny's at 7:30 for breakfast, and 3)leave hotel parking lot at 9AM.

    The hotel is 7555 Beach Blvd. just south of the 91 freeway. Best Western Inn Suites. We can all communicate through cell phones too.

    I'll probably eat at the hotel because I've got a 5 yr old, 3, yr old and 2 week old.:confused: I'll be hanging outside early though, like 8am.

    Okay, Meeting at the denny's at 7:30 sounds good to me, and we can take it from there. I'am assuming that you would take the 91 west and get off on beach blvd. and make a right? Now, how will I know who you guys are? I dont own a cell phone. Mavdog, I'll still give you a call sat night or sun. morn. Will anyone be bringing any extra parts for sell?

    What kind of parts are you looking to buy? I have parts, but won't be bringing any to sell, unless I get requests. I don't want to haul parts there & back. If you don't see us, just look for the cars. We won't be far away. I'll be wearing an MCCI T-shirt & Maverick jacket...
