Southern California Mega BBQ Acura Meet: OCTOBER 29th!

Thread Starter
Ok guys, I decide that we will cruise along PCH after the meet. If anyone want to cruise the different place, please go ahead and plan for separate cruise in another thread. So many opinions which is typical from a group of people which couldn't do anything if we don't have one voice. So if we don't decide the place soon, it will be just like last time that no one know where to go; therefore, we will cruise on PCH!
Anyway, I drove around PCH today instead of the Azusa, and I think the route from Huntington Beach (Main st) goes south to Crystal Cove (Crystal Cove Promenade) is the best cruise route that offer nice drive and plenty of nice view. I saw couple group of motocycles drove around PCH today and thinking that if we can have 30-40 Acura driving around PCH in display (take both lane) would be a great sight to view. The route is total of 17 miles or so ending at Crystal Cove Promenade. We can take some group's pics at the Promenade, then head back to Fashion Island (5 miles) to have more pics. We can go to state park in Crystal Cove ($10) for better view of the beach, but I don't think lots of us want to pay $10 for parking. If we decide to drive further, we can drive down to Dana Point which also has some nice view (Salt Creek Beach Park), but we have to pass throu Laguna Beach which is crowded and small street.
For those who did not know about Crystal Cove Promenade, it's a place that every Sat hundreds of exotic, rare, high performance cars and thousands of spectators come to this place, but sadly, yesterday is the last time we have such gathering at Crystal Cove.
I did not take much pics, since the weather is dark with low cloud but here are some view of the place we will visit. Final cruise plan will be up shortly.

Yes, Our Acurazine detail class is on Dec. 2nd, but Meguiar's also has class on Nov. 4th and 11th for anyone who want to learn (non car club members). Nov. 4th is more for first time folks, while Nov. 11th is for more advance (know what to do with the porter cable) with testing new products. If you or anyone want to come on either Nov. 4th or 11th, just sign up! I will attend the Nov. 11th class as well. You can come every Sat's class if you want providing you don't mind to be the only one who attend that not belong to a certain car club on that day (hotrods, Ford focus, G35, etc..) and the class is not full by then.

I encounter a black Ferrari (don't know which type and I don't really care because I drool over any Ferrari) and it whoops my ass badly. Man, the engine sound is soooo nice.

^ and we need steadydaddy to hook it up with that charcoal trick. gotta make sure someone takes a pair of tongs.
i see we have Korean BBQ ribs, carne asada and hot dogs. now, if someone brought some hamburger patties and buns plus condiments(ketchup/mustard/mayonnaise/chipped pickles), we'd be set!!

Here is the cruise route. Because it's a cruise so we don't have to drive fast, just at the speed limit. There are places that speed limit is down to 35mph, while most of the PCH is 45+.
We will drive from the park (N. Studebaker road) down south, Right on East 22nd street, then Left on PCH. We will have first stop at the parking lot last time we been at the beach (the one just before GoldenWest St with parking meter). We then head down to Crystal Cove Promenade (around 12 miles) by making Left turn on Reef Point, then another left to the Promenade. Drive all the way back along the shopping stores to the end of the mall since that place is very empty. From then, either we continue to head down South to Dana Point, or head up north back to Fashion Island for more pics.

-What's a good one around that area? I haven't been down Cali in a minute.
Thanks!

Depends on how much you want to pay, some motel/hotel near Disneyland is really nice for around 100 buck. Along Beach Blvd (which is around half hour from the meet and the beach) has decent motel/inn for less than $100. Irvine has some good hotel or near Newport Beach but the price is little more pricey.

Actually, I might be able to go. I'm getting my axle fixed today (thank god its gotten really bad), and I dont get out of school until the 27th so I'll just stay another couple days and then go home to visit after that.
I'm about 90% sure I'm going to end up coming
