Hey Ian looks like we'll be over in Cali at the same time, Jill and I are planning on July again.. [Unless the dollar drops much more pfft!]

Donut derelicts on a Saturday morn is cool but you have to be up early! In Orange County there is a Friday night cruise, Longbeach and Pamona swap meets, Bobs big boy always something going on..

Hoping I can do more car stuff this time around but its hard with the womenfolk! Ask Neil Gibb in our club he's the full bottle on what to do..

Anyone in San Fran give me some tips on things too do, think we'll kick off there.

I did read about the new museum in Tacoma. I suspect it will be July or August we will be in the northwest. Will be in the neighbourhood, my aunt lives in Renton.

When you have an idea of when you'll be in Seattle, PM me and I can give you some specific events in the area. For FoMoCo specific events there is the All Ford Picnic (Bellevue, WA) in early June and the Fall Ford Fest (Graham, WA) on Labor Day. Beyond that there are multiple events, large and small, every weekend.

In the meantime, you can bookmark the LeMay museum in Tacoma. Note: I tried to post link but it wouldn't show up in the text block - just search for Lemay car museum.

My wife, daughter and I should be over for vacation around June though to September. We will be traveling by road, starting in LA, San Diego area and I was hoping to gets some ideas from you guys on major car events, shows, and museums that I might be able to fit in to our travel plan.

We are looking to head east to Georgia/South Carolina and we will also be going up to Seattle way. My wife hasn't seen Vegas so will probably go there for a couple of nights to see the lights and any other highlights. We're not sure how we are connecting the south east to the north west, maybe through Chicago way. There are no solid plans yet but we will probably start and finish in SoCal. I would like to get to Hot August Nights again but not sure if it will fit in the time line.

Is there going to be a Y block shoot out near San Diego and when would that be on?

I was just looking at the must see stuff, and hoping it might fit in with where we will be at the time.

I'm mostly a FoMoCo person but not prejudice to other nice cars either.

Looking forward to some good suggestions.

Ian.
