May 25th, Palomar Cruise
 

Hello :hello: my fellow 370 owners from LA to SD :driving:

I'm helping set up a cruise from Orange County to San Diego on Memorial Weekend through the Palomar mountains, that ends with a BBQ at the house of Randy Rodriguez, the designer of our beloved 370’s.

Date: Saturday May 25th
OC Caravan Meeting Place: Starbucks 17850 Newhope Street Fountain Valley, CA
OC Meeting Time: 6:15am (starting engines at 6:30am sharp)
Heading to: Chevron 215 East Via Rancho Parkway Escondido, CA by 8:15am

At Chevron we will be meeting up with more Z’s along with Randy to head out to Palomar, after which we will follow Randy back to his house for BBQ, drinks and we get to check out 370 artwork from the man himself!

Anyone with a 370z is invited *only 370s are invited this time around*. Please keep in mind this will be a large caravan and everyone needs to be respectful of the people leading the cruise, other attendees, and all normal driving laws.

Please RSVP with me so I can let Randy know how many people plan on attending.

This is a rare opportunity for all of us to get together, enjoy an organized cruise and hang out with the designer of our cars. It is my pleasure to help arrange this for everyone (Special thanks to fredstah, who has become fast friends with Randy and made all this possible).

Please feel free to PM me or Fred with any questions.:tup:

This might be a fun drive and a great opportunity to hang out with Randy.

This will be a fun event!

I'm going. Will be heading up from San Diego with Randy. It should be a good time!

Count me in. I've done Palomar mountain many times but will be taking it incredibly easy with the new rims.

Should be fun and a really cool sight if we get a good turnout of 370s. Palomar is really fun drive/ride for those who haven't been there.

I'll have beer, wine and food at my place after. You guys can also check out my artwork as well.

We thank you for setting this up, Randy!

So in...
 

I'll definitely be there.

I'll meet you guys by Chevron. :driving:

Meeting point
 

We should set up a meeting point for everyone going from San Diego.
My suggestion:

Chevron
9936 Mercy Rd,
San Diego, CA 92129

Meet between 7:00-7:30
Roll out at 7:30

It will give us plenty of time to meet up with the rest of the group at the Escondido Chevron.

Wish I could go guys and gal. I'll be in Vancouver visiting my sister, but I expect to see lots of photos, GoPro vid's and the like. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to the next one, have fun!

count me in unless something unexpected happens at work. sounds like a great time!

I'm in

DAMN! I'm going to miss another chance to meet Randy

I've got a 1000 phone move for that weekend

My freakin luck :(


Have fun everyone drive safe and take plenty of pics if Randy gets liquored up :icon17:

May 25th is perfect. 3 day weekend. :D

Only if we can get copies of the artwork with his signature on it!

Yup I was planning on printing out some copies to give away

Well sir, this just elevated the excitement to a whole new level

See you then!

well that sucks, my Z is only 2 months from being delivered and i can't go cause i dont have a Z :(

Z_ealot, is this a brand new Z? And maybe you can hitch a ride with someone at the meeting spot in Fountain Valley. I would love to share the ride but I'm staying in SD for the weekend.

yeah brand new ordered it back in april as a replacement for my previous Z which is now resting in peace in car heaven :(

Zealot your still welcome to come. Out if curiousity what is your temporary ride?

I just recently bought my z. Stock everything. Hopefully I don't get judge ;)

you're gonna laugh, but my current ride is a 96 civic lol....have to say though it has helped me save alot for my next Z so it's not all bad :)

This special event is not about what you have on your car, this is all about sharing our experience on Randy's beautiful creation.

Randy, it's very nice of you to welcome us to your home. :bowrofl:

Fredstah & Z_Girl, thank you for organizing this event. :tiphat:

What time do you think we will be getting to Randys?

I'd be down to meet at the Escondido Chevron, my house is 5 minutes from there

Damn! I'm leaving for the homeland May 22 to June 12 =(

From our meeting spot at 8:15 it takes about an hour to get to the top of Palomar mountain on the tight side or south grade (we'll stop at mother kitchen for a little break, there are usually a bunch of bikes parked there). Then going down the east grade or fast side of the mountain to Santa Ysabel through to Ramona, lakeside to La Mesa.

We can discuss at the top of Palomar if the group wants to stop for apple pie in Santa Y or head straight to my place for eats and drinks.

I was thinking that we make it back between 11-12 in time for lunch. I'm easy though if you guys want to stop for photo/ video ops of the cars or whatever.

Sounds good. What do you need for the get together Randy?

Reply to this and add yourself if you are goin! +1 next to your name if you know anyone that are going with you with a 370z. Thank you all
