Ready... Steady... GO!

[rwcaudill]

Hi David! If possible I'd like to park our trailer at your place again this year. My wife and I will be at the BBQ. Please let us know what to bring.

[RR20AC]

My wife and I are in for the cruise and BBQ. Thanks David

[Big Blocker]

Dave, Ol Buddy . . . you're NOT getting away with NOT seeing my scruffy old face again this year. We, Mike and I, will be there with FFR3712 again this year. We'll bring whatever you might need to help out with the suspected crowd - food, beer, wine, sodas, water, Scooby snacks, dancing girls - well, maybe not the dancing girls. Ha-Ha-Ha.

There might be a few more then usual from Vegas this year, our "F5 family" has grown and some have voiced an interest in the HB show this year.

2 bodies: Pete & Mike

Doc

[Planecrazy1976]

Dave , sent you a PM. We are signed up and will be in Huntington.

Greg

[Mark Dougherty]

I'm in with my plus 1

[Garry Bopp]

I'm in! Might drag Tongish along, too ... oh, wait a minute, I'll be riding with him!

Garry

[Just puttering]

We would love to stop by for a bbq!

Is there .... by chance..... Any restrictions because one may be carless??? If thats a deal breaker , i undestand. I can wait till next year when the car feels better (hopefully).

[Jazzman]

We'll be there! Please hold a space for my Truck and trailer. I can't wait!!!

[John Tongish]

I'm in! Might drag Tongish along, too ... oh, wait a minute, I'll be riding with him!

Garry
I guess that makes me the Uber driver for the evening.

[videodude]

Dave,

Thanks for the invite; Dee and I will be there. This will be our first time at the HB Cruise-in; looking forward to meeting everyone and getting ideas for my build.

Allan & Dee (total of 2)

[slpro1207]

David,
Teri and I will be there and dragging my friend Mark with us. I would love to park my trailer there also. Let me know if you need help with anything.

Scott

[mmoen]

count me in for 2.
Thanks
Mike M.

[Mark Eaton]

David,

My wife Shelly and I are planning to take you up on your gracious offer to attend! Our plane doesn't land until after 6 so we may be a little late for the BBQ. I managed to get us a room at the Shorebreak, I am really excited about this whole thing!

Mark

[nkw8181]

do you still have room for another truck/ trailer or just trailer? if so I'd like to snag a spot. I am beginning to see the problem with parking a trailer at a hotel. None have the space! Also put me down for 2 for the bbq. No just to finish the car! lol

[7tvette]

Hi David, my wife Tara and I are once again making the trip down from Canada. We are bringing Two Cars, so we would like two spots for Two Trucks & Trailers. Let me know if there is an issue with parking. Look forward to seeing you again.

Troy & Tara Rieder
David & Cathy Williamson

[Planecrazy1976]

Hey Dave, just wondering if there was an update on trailer parking. I sent a pm last week.
Thanks
Greg

[Bob-STL]

I'm in.
Bob

[mikey likes it!]

With no baseball games to umpire... I'm in with my wife. Look forward to meeting everyone and seeing if John can make there without his lug nuts coming off....

[John Tongish]

Mike,
You didn't have to go there.

[E-Ticket Ride]

David:
Please count me for 1 for the BBQ. I just got Go-Carted today, and I doubt I'll be legal to make the cruise, as Mammoth just got over 4 Ft of fresh. Time to Snowboard. So many different ways to play!
Chris Lewis

[David Hodgkins]

Hey gang!

Wow, 10 days in (t-minus 57) and we're way ahead of schedule. So many long distance travelers! SO MANY TRAILERS!

39 Participants and 9 trailers. Don't worry about the attendee number, my home can take double that easily. The trailers though, that's a tough one. More than 2X usual.

Actually, I think I have a plan for the trailers. I just have to talk to the city:

https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=81964&d=1520047601

We haven't decided on a cruise destination yet. I did talk to Hansen about a high-end storage garage off the 5 near the Irvine Spectrum. I'll keep you updated, and welcome alternative ideas.

:)

[crspdsk8]

Hi David!

Please count my wife Jennifer & I in for the BBQ & Cruise! We are coming down from the Sacramento Area. We just registered for the show and also reserved a spot at an RV park in Anaheim. We are bringing our 33 down in our toy hauler and plan to visit Disneyland while on this trip down to So Cal. Looking forward to a great FFR weekend! See you all soon!

[Planecrazy1976]

Hey Dave, for the BBQ there will be 4 of us.
Thanks for the trailer parking and the invite for the BBQ.

[tcollins]

David, Please count my wife and I in for the BBQ and truck/trailer parking if possible! If parking in your neighborhood is not an option, please let me know. We are driving in from Detroit and I'm not familiar with HB. We booked our room at the Kimpton per your recommendation.

Hi Dave,
Please add me to the BBQ list as well as trailer parking. You mentioned that you had added me to the list in a private message when my photo was lucky enough to win the January picture of the month but asked to reply to your thread.
Mark & Janet Joy - Avondale AZ.

[AZPete]

Dave, I'd love to attend your BBQ again this year - solo. I really enjoyed it last year, especially meeting you and others. I'll drive my 818C from Scottsdale and hope to join the cruise, also. Thanks!
Peter Hildt (AZPete)

[David Hodgkins]

Any luck with additional trailer parking? I would like to unhook.

[CalR80]

Hi Dave, please add two more for the BBQ, thanks!
Dave Flohr & Brent Stewart

[kobra01]

Dave, please add 1 for the BBQ. If you need any help setting up or anything just ask. Also if anybody would like a passenger for the cruise let me know, my car won't be ready for quite a while.

Ken

[ZwickFF]

Dave I’ll be there for the BBQ and possibly the cruise. I’m not sure if Sandy will be joining me yet.
Glenn Zwicker

[nkw8181]

Dave, please add 1 for the BBQ. If you need any help setting up or anything just ask. Also if anybody would like a passenger for the cruise let me know, my car won't be ready for quite a while.

[David Hodgkins]

Participant list updated!

:)

[kobra01]

Nolan,

Thanks for the invite that would be great. Keep me updated on your status. Beautiful car.

Thanks,
Ken

[slpro1207]

Hi David,
My friend Mark who you met and his wife Kathleen will make the BBQ and Saturday show. His under construction roadster won’t be ready in time however. He also wants to volunteer to help Saturday. I will throw his name on that tread too.

[Jazzman]

With 70 people already registered, perhaps the last thing you need is one more, but my wife, Diane, will be joining me. I talked to Bob Brandle yesterday, and he is also planning on coming. 13 more days!! Yeah!!

[nkw8181]

If there are 70 people for this it looks to be a great show the next day!

[Bob Brandle]

Hi Dave,
Please add me to the Friday BBQ List. I'll be caravanning with Kevin/Jazzman from Scottsdale to the Huntington Beach Cruise-in, my first!!
Sorry, but I won't be bringing a FFR car to this Cruise-In, since I'll just be ordering mine this summer, a Gen 3 Type 65 Coupe.

Bob Brandle

[JamesHH]

Hi Dave, I'll be coming to the bbq, just one. Let me know if I can help out in anyway, since I'm quite close.

[stack]

I will be there again this year

[David Hodgkins]

Here we are! The party is THIS FRIDAY!

The cruise starts at ~3 and will be a short one to the Crevier Classic Car Company, at 1612 Clinton Street, Costa mesa (near the south-west tip of John Wayne Airport)

The BBQ starts when we get back, ~5 - 6pm.

I hope everyone has a safe trip!

:)

[Paul G]

Please add one more the BBQ... driving solo this year, depending when I get in I may meet up Crevier Classic Car Company since it is pretty close to my hotel.

[Jeff Kleiner]

I'm looking forward to the weekend and flying in Friday afternoon! Obviously I am not bringing a car; anybody got room for a passenger for the trip from H.B. to Hodgkins' barbecue Friday evening?

Jeff

[vnmsss]

I'm in +1.........

Jeff.......Very cool! Let me know where you are staying and may be able to swing by there and pick you up. If not, will get with Hodgkins and figure it out. Safe travels!

[videodude]

Jeff,

Dee and I are staying at the Huntington Beach Inn, right off Main St. We are driving in on Friday morning and weren't heading up to Dave's until the afternoon. Since I don't have a car built yet, I wasn't going on the Pre-BBQ cruise anyway. We'd be happy to give you a Lyft up to Dave's (and back, if need be). PM me and I'll send you my cell number.

[Jeff Kleiner]

Thanks! That would be great :) PM sent
