Autobacs & Lil Tokyo ppl
 

At the request of Trochoidmagic, I'm posting this one-time meet idea. I had an entire write up on the location but my computer crashed and lost everything so this'll be short. I actually wanted Rich and some others to cruise with me there on some off night so I could show them and then get a feel if this is something the 8's would like. But Rich just said to run with it. I've been around long enough to get a feel by what has been done, and this idea is along those lines with a twist.

But in short, Del Amo Fashion Center the Promonade section has an upbeat Sushi Bar/Club with a live DJ that I think you all would enjoy.(the links to a map and venue info are below) Lots of different places to hang-out, lots of parking space, lots of things to do (it even has a bowling place, but not sure of pool tables tho). You don't have to dress up but the ladies there will be so it's your choice. It's in Torrance on Carson Street and Hawthorne Blvd being the closest intersection.

As far as when? This coming Saturday the 16th....or next Friday or Saturday(22/23)

And again, if just a couple ppl would like to try it first, that would work.

Where? 3525 W. Carson St, Torrance, CA
When? Pls vote(Saturday the 16th) or (Friday the 22nd) or (Saturday the 23rd)

^^actually, i messed up on my vote. saturday is fine with me. this friday is the autobacs meet, and i love the pre-meet at the lounge. but i'd like to see something new and see what u got goin on there in hawthorne for us.

i can go with the concensus, let me know or PM me.

^^oops, i guess i didn't. the vote is right...now lets see what we come up with.

did leon mention GIRLS and BEER? it'll be a girls gone wild rotary edition...i'm in!

fyi torrance pd are dicks...i grew up in the 310 south long enough to know.

That is true, it's also why I always go to OC and other cities for there meets. But I feel since the rotary's don't have a negative reputation and the fact the 8's is a modern good looking sports car, it also doesn't attract negative attention. This one place is alright tho. As always, no burn-outs and crap.

Last month the Rx7's had a meet in Torrance In & Out with 50+ turn-out. I thought for sure the cops would set up mod checks, but they made one pass through the parking lot and left. I'm sure if there were burn-outs and stuff, there would have been problems.

I'll do up a better map soon.

I'm assuming that the club is 21 and over only? If so... that means they serve alcohol! And if there's alcohol then that means I'll be there. :)

No..yes..and cool

Since it is classified as a "resturant" it's all ages so your carded as you order alcohol. But you don't see families there or anything. With the live DJ you do see occasional dancing but no dance floor. As we get closer, I'll post up a map of the meeting point since the parking lot is so huge and it can seem confusing.

+1 im with john on this...

Blah Blah Blah Atilla's gonna be there with smile and a camera :)

i'm down if you guys decided on saturday...

K, the votes are pretty close but Saturday the 23rd has a slight lead in the polls =) But it seems all the key playas checked in except Apocalypto. I plan on checking out RA after autobacs this Friday and I'll cruise by this Saturday as well to see what it looks like at about midnight. Also to find a good meet up spot.

as far as im concerned..the 23rd is excellent for me...hey rich..u wanna have a little pre-meet and do another caravan to the meet?

what is Autobacs?

LOL!!^^^^:lol: :lol:.....ahahahhahaha are you serious???? j/k im not flamin you....Autobacs is a car store, they got all types of crap there, from stereos to aftermarket parts and everything inbetween...just like they guys out in japan we got one here and lucky for us its in our neighborhood....so we can be like those guys in japan and have meets in front of Autobacs, and take pics that look totally JDM

ring me up. we'll see...

aren't yellow and someone else around our area (626) goin as well?

let me check

calling all east siders (626)
 

who like to caravan around the alhambra 626 area to this joint?
1)TrochoidMagic
2)apocalypse
3) <<<---ur name here

held at his pockets, aiming up following behind 2 skirt wearing jdm hotties.:boink: :boink:

K, the plan is next, next Saturday the 23rd. Here's an image of the actual site pointing out the Pavillion where RA is at and also pointing out the meet up spot. We may or may not stay parked there but just a place to meet up. On the very corner of Carson St and Madrona is a Black Angus, I'll prolly be the first one there so look for my red SA or other 8's somewhere behind Black Angus.

Here is a larger view to give you all an idea of the routes everyone will be taking. It's pretty simple, which ever way your coming from, get to either the 405 (South) or the 110 (South) freeways. If your headed south on the 405 your exit will be Hawthorne Blvd. Go south on Hawthorne Blvd til you reach Carson St(about 4 miles) then make a left till you see the Black Angus, but you'll need to turn into the parking lot prior to reaching Black Angus.

If your coming down the 110 your exit will be Carson St then turn right from the off ramp and it's a straight shot all the way till you see Black Angus (about 5 miles) This direction you'll make your first right into the parking lot once you pass Black Angus.

Redondo Beach is circled for a cruise option after.(lots of photo ops there)

I feel obligated to make sure you guys have a good time so I am buying the first pitchers to get you guys wearing those beer goggles, haha, but seriously, the first pitcher is on me.

cool deal.

see u next saturday.

Hi guys,

I'm totally new here, just found this web few days ago and really interested in next saturday's meet up as well as the monthly little tokyo meet up. Where do you guys meet at little tokyo?

Thx in advance~

Never been to a meet before and i don't really want to be the odd kid out.

plus i have traffic school.

sounds like fun though!

^^ to the 2 new forum members. welcome to the club!
-as far as the lil tokyo meet... we meet at the actual location, and do things(eat, drink, play, goof off afterwards)
-as far as this one in delamo mall, its gonna be up for the first run... and guaranteed to have enough fun as much as the first tokyo run's crowd goes as what SA rx7 suggested.

i suggest coming to both of them. its convenient for those interested in L.A. meets... there should be something brewed up for the east-sider's. that crowd is more laid back and subtle, and a new location is still in discussion. try to feel them both out and see what you like and what suits you.
personally, i know both crowds. and there's times when i like the crowd i organized, and i also like what the east sider's have in mind... they just need to work out a better location for activities to do.

so meanwhile, this is whats happening right now.

where are you the 2 of you located?

Richard! Do you still want this?

I'll give it to you at the next meet if you still want it. :)

Oh yeah, check out my new gauges. :)

what's up!Renises, nice looking gauges....I like.:)

Thanks, the new gauges are awesome! It was a pain to install though... I literally had to take the entire dash apart in order to route all the cable/hoses in the back...
