Saturday September 8th!!!
VENTURA, CA
@10:00am
Alright guys, Hugo and I were thinking about trying something a little different this time. This month's meet will offer a little change in scenery for those who didn't make it to Bimmerfest '07 (in Santa Barbara) or the '06 Socal Euro Meet (in Ventura). How does a short drive up the coast and away from the smog sound?
Ventura, California is a relatively small beach community located approximately 45 minutes north of Hollywood and Studio City (Okay, maybe an hour and a half if the traffic's bad) and 25 minutes south of Santa Barbara. This meet will be ideal for those interested in participating in this year's calendar contest, as the background is quite nice.
Okay, here's the thing. I've located a place on the beach where we could grill out and chill on the beach or in the grass next to our cars, but in order to secure the site, we have to be there early. Basically, it's first come first serve and if we want to get a section of the parking lot dedicated to us, we have to be there before anyone else beats us to it! 10:00am DON'T BE LATE!!! From there we could take a 5 minute drive to Surfer's Point for a quick afternoon shoot next to the pier and possibly check out this parking structure downtown for a few more pics and some drifting:biggrin:J/K. If you guys want, we could take a 20 minute group drive up to Ojai past Johnny Cash's house and into the canyon where Lance Armstrong trains or we could take a short 5 minute drive to an overlook where we could park and snap a few more really nice shots. We'll wrap the day up with a sunset shoot in the beautiful Ventura Harbor(South Jetti) and if anyone's interested we could shoot some pool at Stix Billiards, go to the movies or have a drink at Sans Succi(The Sewer).
Anyway, these are just suggestions, I welcome everyone to drive on up and visit my gorgeous hometown here in Ventura. You could take either PCH or 101North. PCH will take a little bit longer since it's stop and go until you pass through Malibu. When you get to Point Mugu Naval Air Station, veer right onto Las Posas towards the 101North. At this point you'll be in Camarillo, CA and it's about 10 minutes further north on the 101.
I recommend taking 101North the whole way to avoid traffic and ease of directions. You'll pass through Studio City, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, Oxnard and then you'll hit Ventura. If you get to Santa Barbara, you went about 25 minutes too far. Exit on Seaward Ave. Take a left onto Seaward. Cross through Harbor Blvd. and proceed straight to Pierpont Ave. Take a left on Pierpont Ave and follow it straight down to Marina Park.
Enter the park, watch out for the gigantic speed bumps and look to the right(towards the beach). I'll have an area setup for us to gather and barbeque, or if you guys want we could just grab a burger at In&Out or The Habit or rock a fatass burrito at Evita's. Eitherway, the meet will start at Marina Park and we'll decide from there. If you guys want to grill, I could run to the store and grab some stuff from Vons down the street. Here's a link to Marina Park and if you want an idea of the surrounding area, check out my Gallery (http://www.318ti.org/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=3558). I look forward to seeing everyone here:

Do you guys want to meet up at ihop then take off to Ventura?
Too far and out of the way to take the 101n for me, a better meeting place can be off the 134 in Glendale.

Are you serious? Dude the 134 runs behind my house. You drive like 3 miles from figueroa exit to ihop. Then to ihop to the 101 is like 3 minutes away.
We can work something out though.

it doesnt matter cuz its on the way either way for me. however, are we all bringing something to pitch in for the food? or like certain ppl in charge of food or something? just a question. before some chaotic maddness happens when we realize theres no FOOD.

Well I was planning on getting there really early just to hold the grill and a spot in the grass, but there's nothing I could do about the parking lot, so that's why I asked everyone to show up early and we'll fill it in as we go and as people leave we'll take their spots. You gotta remember that Ventura is a surfing community, so Saturday mornings you could bank on the parking lots filling up quickly. There's a store right down the street from the park, so I was just going to make a quick run and get some food once people showed up and I take a collection. It's hard to know how much food to buy without knowing how many people are going to actually show.

I agree, let's collect cash when we get there and make sure that the food needed is purchased. Hope to be there!! I'm doing my best to go to Mexico next week and return on Friday night.
Whos taking the churasquera? Or are we just going to buy charcoal?
Is there a 99 cent store nearby? We need plates and cups :smile:
cooljess76
08-30-2007, 05:04 AM
Yeah, there's a .99 store and I'll handle all that stuff, I'll even bring an ice chest and some ice, but we need to know how much and what kind of food to get. It'll only take about 20 minutes to run down to the store while everyone is checking out eachothers cars and stuff. If someone want's to bring up some charcoal, I could gather up some wood chips since I just pulled 3 spanish cedar stumps out of my yard. Also if you guys want to grill up some asada, there's a couple Mexican markets nearby and I could hook that up as well.

Hey Noah, look forward to seeing you there. You could show up around 11:30/Noonish if you want. I just want the guys with Ti's to come up early so we could lock in a few parking spots next to eachother. It doesn't sound like we're gonna have a huge turnout this time, but for those who do show up to this one, it will be a success. If nothing else, we could chill, take some pics, have lunch and go to the movies. I might bring my bike and my doggy. Jimmy, Gino, Dee, Harold, Garik, Angelo, Jeff, Nick, Bobby, Roger and the rest of you guys, I hope to see you here. Hugo, I can't find an address to the park, but here's a link where you could get directions: http://national.citysearch.com/profile/687632/?brand=smx_yp-nc Either way, it's off of the 101 @ Seaward Ave. Garik, come up as soon as you can and we'll meet up with you. Ventura is really small and everything is about 5 minutes away. If you guys want to show up later, thats cool too just get Hugo's number and call him when you get into town. Heck if 10:00 is too early for you guys, I could just bring my own grill to the park, lol.

101N Exit Seaward Ave.(left lane)
Left on Seaward Ave.(middle lane)
Cross Harbor Blvd.(straight through intersection)
Left on Peirpont Blvd.(first stopsign after Harbor Blvd.)
Follow Peirpont all the way down until it dead ends at Marina Park(about 3/4 of a mile).
Look for POS black ti and ugly guy near the Pacific Ocean on the right.
Those are the simplest directions in the world. See ya guys there! BTW, it's about 57 miles up the 101N from the 134W.

Whats the difference between taking the 134 to the 101 and 110 to the 101? The 110 to the 101 is only like 3 minutes away from ihop.
Guys dont forget to bring money for the shirts (embroir). If you want to receive your shirt that day you need to pay me the remains. I will be sporting mine :smile:

The battery died and the window fell of track:mad: Yep it's a Ti alright:rolleyes: Bobby's speaker blew up, almost caught his car on fire, and some guy peeled part of his LTW decal off:wink: HuGo's hatch fell on his head:eek: My doggy had fun at the park, Hugo tried to drift my car with the ASC "ON":confused: and we met some really cool Ti fans, Noah and Emily from Wisc"aan"sin:biggrin: All in all it was a beautiful day in Ventura California. I really enjoyed hangin out with you guys. This meet wasn't about the cars, it was more of a chillin with the homies kinda day. Sorry it was so crowded, usually we don't get much traffic through here. Thanks for coming out Marv, HuGo, Jeff and Bobby, see ya next month!
I just got home. LONG DRIVE! Well not really, but these guys drive like turtles :mad:
The hatch didnt fall on my head :tongue:
Yea i didnt know your car had the ASC, but did you see that bad ass 360 i did :smile:

Hey. I dont drive slow hugo. On PCH my radar detector thing picked up a few cops on the sides. thats why i drove the speed limit for a while and plus its the other two that have trouble keeping up.
anyway. ill post some pics later. We all need to create a Ti photobucket that we all have access to, i think. or something.
