When you get your new SAOCA calendar, be sure to block out May 17-21 for our 2nd WC invasion in Cambria California. Or show up for any part of that time frame. We're gonna have a good time.

We'll be looking forward to you bringing the Orange Crate.
And time wise, hey we're giving you 8 months almost. It only took about 8 hours to assemble that car when it was new.
Says the almost 10 year project guy.
Will be great to have you along.

The West Coast Invasion 2018 as previously stated, will once again be in Cambria, CA.
There are 15 rooms set aside at The Bluebird Inn. I would like to think we would need more. The least expensive rooms, a single Queen, if you're checking in on the evening of the 17th will run $319.77 for the three nights. They've given us a room rate of $95 a night plus taxes. Of course many of you will be checking in for F/S only, so should be cheaper. You must call direct for this rate, 805-927-4634 and give them the check in date, and ask for the Sunbeam Car Club rate. If any problem, just contact Bing or myself.
When you make your reservation, I would appreciate an email to jimjordanjr@verizon.net so I can put you in the WCI 2018 file.
I am getting jazzed already for this next meet. We seriously had a great time last year, well, I guess it's still this year, but you know what I mean.

Any idea of the schedule of events? Our daughter in laws' due date has been set back a week, so we might be able to make the show and hustle home. Or rather, to the hospital. But there is some time related confusion. Post #2 says to block out May 17-21. That's four nights. Post #5 says three nights, which means ending on the 20th.
Which should we plan on?

Sorry guys, I have let Bing know that I am unavailable for this year, and have no updated information on this. Possibly Bing needs some help bringing this together and needs someone to volunteer to help with this.
West Coast guy: Is this still on?
Terrific news! My wife and I will be joining you. Not driving an Alpine, I am afraid. Will you allow me to attend if I bring a rented Mustang convertible? 
You won't be the first, or the last, to be driving incognito. This is cool. You are the president of our club, you live in New York, and you are trekking all this way to join us. You are in for a good time. It is a beautiful location. If I can be of assistance with info on logistics when you get to Calif. please send me a PM.
Thanks, Bing. I am looking forward to the trip and will send you a note re: logistics. See everyone soon!
Greetings Invasionistas!
I am working on our program for this year's event. Would anyone like to conduct a tutorial like we had last year. You will recall we had a valve adjustment class and a hood adjustment class. Please advise so I can include it in our agenda. Up for consideration this year is a drive up the coast to the Ragged Point Inn for lunch Saturday, a visit to a glass blowing shop in the town of Harmony (population 18), and a DOWNHILL drive on the Santa Rosa Creek Road. If anyone has a suggestion or request for a particular activity please advise. Wine, beer, and appetizers will be provided Friday and Saturday.

Has anyone invited the Tiger guys to join us?
Last year we invited all Rootes owners but no one replied. They would be welcome this year as well.
The second annual West Coast Invasion is history. And indeed it was good! Lodging at the Bluebird Inn was a significant improvement. We had 11 people and 4 cars with some unexpected cancellations shortly before the event. Some drove incognito since their cars are undergoing restoration. Bill Blue and wife Barbara drove all the way from Indiana! SAOCA president Jim Stone and wife Kathy flew in from New York and celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary! The enchanting town of Cambria provided its usual charm. It really is a a special place which is why so many car clubs choose this location.The Santa Rosa Creek road provided its usual challenge. Cooler weather made it more comfortable. A gorgeous ride up the coast to the Ragged Point Inn for lunch on Saturday was a treat. A stop on the way back at San Simeon Beach provided a view of at least 100 female and juvenile elephant seals. When the adult males show up it gets a little dicey. It really was a fun weekend and everyone who attends wants to return the following year. I will book reservations at the same location for 2019. Save the third weekend of May on your schedule, and please offer suggestions to make the event even more enjoyable. Photos will be posted within a day or two.
Ride on!
