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)

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.

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.

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.

^^ 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?

Oh yeah, check out my new gauges.

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...
