April 26th 2013 Meet, Cruise and BBQ, AKA David's pre-HB party!

[David Hodgkins]

It's getting to that time of year again!

My family cordially invites you to hang out, cruise and BBQ at my place Friday, April 26th, 2013 as we start off the 2013 Huntington Beach Cruise-In weekend!

More details forthcoming, but the skinny is that the doors will be open all day for folks coming in from out of town. Park your trailer on our safe street and don't worry about it for the weekend!

Come and eat all my food, cruise PCH and generally have a great time!

If you want to come, please reply to this thread with your Full Name and number of people you plan to bring and I'll add you to the list of expected arrivals.

We are located down the road a few miles from HB in beautiful Corona del Mar.

All are welcome! Hope to see you here!

:)

Hi Dave,
Mesa Mike & I will be trailering my roadster out from Scottsdale, AZ on Friday. Spouses will also be in attendance. I think we'll take you up on storing the trailer.
I'll follow up w/you to solidify the head count as we get closer to the show date. Right now there's 3-4 others caravanning w/us from the greater Phoenix area.
Thanks,
Will

[tcarlson]

David,

Hi there! Thank you for the invite! If all goes well, you should expect my dad, brother and I to take you up on your generous offer.

I live in San Jose, CA and started talking about driving down to see the cars with my dad. I also started talking about the cars with my brother and found out he is going to be in Torrence the week before at his company's annual meeting. My dad is planning to fly from Boise, ID to San Jose, CA the Thursday before the show and travel with me via car to Torrence to have lunch with my brother on Friday. My brother lives near Kansa City, MO.

Does that qualify as traveling from out of town?

Best,

Thomas

[JCLipka]

I'm driving down from the Bay Area with a group of NorCal guys..don't know if they want to come, but I'll be there. I need your address!

Dave,
Thanks for the invite. My wife Lori and I would like to stop by. Although we won't have our car with us. it is still on the jack stands in the garage. It will be great to hang out with great FFR people and learn more about your rides.

Scott, get a plane ticket and I'll arrange everything else!

Rich, glad to see you are going to be here.

Hi Dave,

I will be bringing my Dad out for the HB cruise-in. I don't have my roadster yet but if you're willing to let a newbie and his dad stop by for a little bit to meet some of the group, coun't on two more. I don't have my car yet but hopefully after this weekend I'll have a much better idea of what I'm going to do with it. Can we bring anything?

Wes, looking forward to meeting you!

IT'S FINALLY COUNTDOWN WEEK! Looks like a perfect weekend, weather-wise!:

Today's the day!! If anyone has any issues or questions, my cell number is nine four nine, four hundred, four eight six eight.

We'll be taking off for the cruise sometime between 3 and 4 so if you are running a little late and want us to wait, give me a call. If you get there and we're gone, just pop a brew and wait for us. The house is open and my you are welcome to nosh and hang out until we get back.

See you all later today!

:)

[68GT500MAN]

Thank you David. Leaving here in two hours, see you after the cruz.

[wesmantoothAZ]

We are planning to get into town around 4:30/5 ish (dad and I got a late start). Looks like we may miss you. I'll try to call and see what that status is when we get close. Seeing as we've never met face to face, I'm not sure we're at the point where I can just "make myself at home". :p

Looks like you guys are already having fun!
