. The person choosing can work it such that it's on their way home 
We can even incorporate a drive afterwards and all be home by Noon, or sooner, to deal with all the "honey-do's". The point here is to have something we know we can plan on going to at least once a month and not have to wait so long in between events. Note that there are a couple of choices here also, Village Coffee Roasters in Calabasas and for the hardcore C&C enthusiast - Las Vegas C&C. I have been to all 3 and think any would be a great time especially since it's fairly guaranteed we'd be the only FIATs in attendance (I usually am when I go solo).In any case, here is the info on the Irvine meet:
Ford Motor Company
One Premier Place
Irvine, CA 92818-2922
From San Diego:
5 Freeway North, exit Alton Pkwy, turn left then first right.
From Los Angeles/Inland Empire:
5 Freeway South, exit Alton Pkwy, merge on Enterprise, turn left on Alton, right on Gateway.
From Long Beach:
405 Freeway South, exit Irvine Center Drive, turn left.
There is a coffee and food vendor in the parking lot and Ford also opens up their cafeteria offerring a full breakfast menu and clean restrooms.
The next few dates are:
10/4
11/1 - Day before France & Italy!
12/6
1/3 - Long Holiday weekend!
Keep in mind also that if we get enough of us we can request to be the "Featured Marque" and have our own corral, otherwise, I have cones to reserve parking spaces for us however, it is generally frowned upon if I leave them out for too long and people do not arrive.
Let me know what you think -
