I think it'd be a great idea!
Maybe we could talk Jose in to coming up????
I've not been to Cars and Coffee yet...
My work week is incredibly full.... Weekends are a very welcome break, but I'll be moving in about two weeks. Did anyone have a date in mind?

Hey Nick,
Do you have any trips planned to come this way?
Maybe we could make it coincide with your visit?

Hi Rich,
Unfortunately, I have lost my base of operations there in So. Cal. My sister that lived in Riverside, has moved to the desert somewhere. The closest relative I now have there, lives in Temecula, about 45 miles south of Riverside. I don´t know when you guys would have the get together, but I would love to be there with you guys. I haven´t met Garret yet either.

The drive to Oceanside isn't too bad from Orange County, maybe we could plan a meet and great there next time you are in CA Jose? I would love to see some of the local V-6 cars, as I am getting ready to make the new engine mount cuts, fit the tranny, etc. My SII is pretty much just a shell now as most of the parts have been removed. Seeing the other Alpines would motivate me and help me meet my 4-year plan deadline of May 2012

Hi Garet,
Please don´t wait till I can come, because I may not be able to get there. I would love to be there, but if I can´t, don´t stop the meeting. You guys would have a great time getting together, plus it might give those who have stopped working on their Alpines, a bit of motivation.
It would be the actual first SAOCA meeting on the west coast, V6 or not. Maybe some of the guys from up north would consider coming down to meet all the other west coast V6 Alpines. Who knows, you may get a big surprise by the amount of guys that show up. With I-5 being so accessable, and it not taking more than 8-9 hours to get all the way from Redding or the Bay Area to So.Cal area. There must be about 20 V6 Alpines in California alone.
I get all excited just thinking about it. When you guys get it all sorted out, please let me know, because there might be a miracle and I might show up.
Jose
Wouldn´t that be something!?

Wow. A Modified Meet AND on the West Coast.... I can see it all now.... V6 Alpines, good company and a Shrine to The Creator.
Offer sacrifice on the workbench of The Shrike.
Jose, I'll Skype you from the meet and we can hold a "Blessing of the Shrikes"....... Naah, we're not fanatics...

Hi Hillman,
We Dark Siders are not into the excluding of anyone, no matter what they drive. Before you wrote, I had thought about asking the guys if they would open it up to any and everyone. How can we proselytize anyone, if we don´t share the gospel?

No, I didn't.... Where is it posted?
I've been working on my throttle cable today, trying to improve the travel and smoothness. It's working much better now. I'm getting full travel and the pedal operates much easier.

This sounds like the perfect venue for us all to get together; what say you, Rich?

Sounds very interesting! Maybe that'll give me some time to iron out some bugs and you should be done with yours by then, eh?

Hi Nick,
Those wheels are from an Alfa Romero. Would you believe that I picked up a set of five wheels from ebay (local pick up only) for $1? They are in great contition... I sand blasted and painted them, bought front and rear hubs, now just have to install them.
I've seen a set of four, same wheels go for over $400!
