Gary, When I got off work, we had really high offshore winds and I thought I was driving with training wheels on to keep the SUV from flipping over.

Here in town it more like 20 - 30 MPH winds right now.

The weather has me wondering why Canadians come here

It was so cold today and windy too, that was at the outlet mall 30 minutes west of here. Indio was very pleasant actually.
What's this about Lloyd and Gerry out this way too? I will have to pm them

We did see our second SSR a couple days ago at a Chevy (Rio Vista) dealership in a town just west of Solvang. It was Silver, '05, auto, 27000 miles, satin, $29999
And that's it, only 2 SSR's after 5 days of driving

Hi Sandy and Wayne,
Lloyd and I were staying in Palm Desert this past week. When Lloyd read your message about being in Indio, we were packing to check out and come home. Oh well, we'll see both of you at our home in one week. Hopefully no rain for our DD/Coffee event!
Gerry

I wish I had known you were coming to the Outlet Mall.

Its only 10 minutes from my house. How long will you be in Indio? Really suggest you go to El Paseo Drive which is the main shopping drag for Palm Desert - goood restaurants- shopping - hot cars! Other suggestion is go to The River Shopping Mall (Rancho Mirage)- Cheesecake Factory and other restaurants.

Hey Sandy................a bad weather day there is better than a good weather day up here..................you and Wayne enjoy yourselves......be safe.

George and Virginia

Yes George, Purple - The Wonder Truck has a motto, that it would rather be dusty and rained on then dusty and rained on..... than be spottless and clean parked in the garage at home. Roadtrips Rock!!
Tomorrow we head to Oceanside.

Yah, George, even if you get "sprinklered on" here, whenever a Canadian Fanatic comes to So Cal, we delight in detailing their trucks for them.

dyoung · 01-07-2008, 08:41 PM

turnheadz · 01-08-2008, 07:01 PM

We are at Oceanside now, yes we really are here. Anyone want to go to the San Diego Zoo with us tomorrow?
We just got back from walking the beach, from the harbour to the pier. Couldn't get over the colour of the Pacific - it's brown

Like a big cup 'o hot cocoa

Leaving in an hour to have dinner at Joe's Crab Shack.
Looks like the weather will be great for saturday. I hope Lloyd and Gerry will let us wash the

at their home on friday.

Sandy & Wayne

Sandy....(I know you like to shop).........buy a card reader and you will never hook your camera to the computer again, they work great and probably no more money than buying another cord

turnheadz · 01-09-2008, 10:45 PM

Had a great sunny day at the Zoo today. But no tigers

Then a marg at Old Town. I guess we were on the I-5 at rush hour, WOW the traffic. All I can say is, THANK GOODNESS FOR THE CAR POOL LANE!!
Tomorrow we'll cruise the historic 101 and check out The USS Midway....

Vix · 01-10-2008, 03:54 PM

I am taking my folks to mission viejo today, if you are going to be on the 101, i suggest Jakes or Poisidon's in Del Mar.. tomorrow night if you don't have plans, how about happy hour in Encinitas? El Callejon's in at the SE corner of 101 and Encinitas Blvd. Knock your socks off Margarita's!!! Any SoCal's want to join us? I'll check back to see what you think.

Just got back on the computer, not a lot of opportunity for that lately.
Tomorrow we're at Lloyd and Gerry's. But I will make damn sure I come back for those marg's!!!! maybe next week

Vix · 01-11-2008, 12:22 AM

You're on!!!! Have fun and I'll see you Saturday.

turnheadz · 01-12-2008, 07:43 PM

One down and a few to go. We got together for Art's Donut Derelicts Day. It was great, I mean the donut!

Oh and, the fanatics were all there dark and early and ready to cruise and chat too.

Sandy

turnheadz · 01-15-2008, 09:47 PM

Well tomorrow we begin our eastern trek, to Arizona. Our time in SoCal was fabulous. This is winter weather that I could get used to

Meeting the fanatics here was worth the trip and we're only halfway thru the month.

Sandy

turnheadz · 01-17-2008, 06:56 PM

Yes, we made it to AZ. We're at Barrett-Jackson Auction right now and having fun looking at all the cars. You might see our smiling faces on the SPEED channel

Are you bidding? Some pretty nice cars on the block. I'm thinking we could have a lot of fun driving the Monkey Mobile in Penticton

We are wet and cold in BC, so you aren't missing much.

41chevcoe · 01-17-2008, 11:35 PM

Hey Sandy and Wayne.....you are having way too much fun

......say hi to Paul and Doris

Get the VIN #s off of any SSRs that you can

turnheadz · 01-18-2008, 08:16 PM

all SSR's at the B-J Auction are pictured on the GM @ Barrett-Jackson thread. Including VIN's
Not sure if we'll go back to the auction on sunday to see them auctioned, that sure would be sweet.

Drove top-down today

after Mike in AZ installed some goodies in his shop/garage.
