San Diego Bulletin Board

[go-fish]

Alright guys, I did a search for "San Diego" and found no thread of this type. I found plenty of threads, some my own, that pertained to finding shops or posting car shows/cruises......

I want to make this a thread that lives and will supply San Diegans with information regarding car activities in the area. There is Del Mar of course but does everyone know about Coronado Speed Festival or all the auto-x events in the area?

Introduce yourselves. If you post an event, post the date in the title box of your message. Feel free to post up any car related event in the county whether it be North, South, East, County or on the coast. Show, Vintage Race, Auto-X, whatever.


I would eventually like to meet up at Del Mar or something.

For roll call purposes, I'm John and I live in Coronado. I know several of you are close and would like to meet up when I get my 'cuda out here in mid-April. I've seen a bad-azz 1st Gen Camaro running around Imperial Beach which prompted me to post this thread.

Hey John,

Im from SD as well. Im up in North County.

I was kind thinking of having a get together at my house Saturday evening after del mar!

[go-fish]

I was going up there anyway so might as well get a look at that Ford. A guy on my softball team is a Snap-On guy and will be vending, I'll be hanging out with him some of Saturday.

[rrunner68]

Yeah, I post events and such as they come up. If you're not a member of the goodoleboyssandiego.com email list, you should be.

[go-fish]

I'll check it out.

Is that your Wilwood kit on C-list for Mira Mesa, Dan?

Mr. Jon,
Clay sounding off from SD as well. How you doing sir? Thanks for starting the thread, good idea.

[rrunner68]

I'll check it out.

Hey guys, I live in Ramona just outside of San Diego.
I just moved to a bigger paint shop and would like to make a day sometime in the near
Future to have a BBQ and car show.

I Would like to meet some of you guys sometime and check out your cars.

Pats custom cars.

Dan, I passed that info along about your sale along to my Dad. He has a 69 RR but is tied up with a truck (70 Cheyenne) he is trying to sell before buying parts.

67ls1vert, there is a park down here in Coronado with a great view of the bridge and d-town SD, alot of car clubs and family gatherings there and a great view. I was thinking something like Encinitas because it is easily accessible to people coming from North, East and South and is good middles ground. Crawfish is local to me but I think we're the only two this far South. Maybe somewhere our cars can see some curvy roads? Lake Cuymaca to Julian is twisty but it's a little out of the way.

[67 ls1 vert]

Yeah, the road to Julian goes right by my house and I see all kinds of cool cars driving by. There are times I see 15 to 30 hot rods and times I see over 100 motorcycles. Always looks like a good time. I was just at the Camaro car show by the bridge a few months ago the same weekend the speed fest was going on at Coronado. Didnt seem like it was very good this year for some reason.

[go-fish]

I just found out about a cool little 'weekly'. It is in downtown La Mesa on Thursdays at around 6 pm. I was there yesterday and saw probably 80 cars cruising and parked all along the main drag. Really nice restaurants and good parking for your ride.
If you are in SD metropolitan area it is worth the drive.

[johnny68]

hey John im in for a cruise or what not ya la mesa is fun el cajon has same thing on wed nights
john

[67 ls1 vert]

Yes, the El Cajon cruise is pretty good on Weds. There is also a car show at the Santee Lakes on Fridays, the same time Escondido Grand ave. cruise is.

Best Of Show Coach Works in Escondido does great work and they are honest.. but they don't do "scuff and squirt" jobs meaning that they cheapest full paint job they do is 15K. A matt job would be cheaper though since they don't have to color sand and buff.
