Two Coffee & Cars in Southern California this weekend

One is at the Orange County Fairgrounds. I plan on going.

2nd is in Corona CA at the Saleen Shop
Saleen
2735 Wardlow Road
Corona, Ca 92882
714-400-2121

I also heard there is a third Cars and Coffee, in Aliso Viejo, but I cannot find any details. I live 1 block from the Aliso Viejo/Laguna Hills border. It can't be more than 5 minutes away.

Greg: According to the flyer, the car show at the OC Fairgrounds will not be held tomorrow (Sept. 5).

There is an Inland Empire Cars & Coffee on the first Saturday of every month at Eibach Springs in Corona, but it's been cancelled for this weekend: https://www.facebook.com/IECarsNCoffeeSaturday.

I hope to check out the event at Saleen in Corona tomorrow that you mentioned, unfortunately it'll be without my car though.

OMG. thanks for reading the small print. LOL. I forgot it's September already. So I have to go to Saleen tomorrow. Should be a fun drive though. Look for a dork wearing a Datsun Roadster t-shirt, that will be me. I will bring my car but I may not stand next to it all morning, I may go walking, or be near my buddy with a blue AC Cobra (Factory 5). It will be the first time I see it finished. I guarantee it will be the best replica. He is so @n@l and meticulous. LOL.
Hope to see you there.

Aliso Viejo was great and so close to home!
I got many questions and a lot of fan fare. LOL.
So many Datsun lovers.

Since there were so few Datsuns and no Roadsters, it got a lot of attention.

Every time I walked up to my car, someone was taking a shot. It is not a show car but it looks good. Thanks to all the 311s-ers who got me where I am today.

I didn't start off parked next to any Japanese cars but these guys all moved close to my car when they got the chance. That was pretty cool.

The new CA Black License Plates. No, they are not perfect, but they still look 10x better than the CA white plates. Once you go black you never go back....wait, that may not be PC (or true), LOL.

Thanks guys for all the positive words! Everyone of you helped me get here. RCMike was the first roadster person I met back at Coffee & Cars when he was running a 1600 engine. Roadster Mike helps me all the time, always willing to give up one of his Mikuni Jets from his running car just so I can try the same size one, and he's come over to help put my engine back in which expedited the process and was alot of fun. Peter's given advice and offered to come over to work on my car. You guys are all great along with the other who got me here today. Too many to mention.
