BTW this report is from Doug T.
MY HOME PHONE NUMBER IS 949 552 8484.

This is the schedule for the weekend.
The goal is to nail down some times so we can all meet up
at set locations and times. I say, come join us for a day
or a week but you should know how to find us if you need
to split and get coffee for 4 hours. This is the largest
meeting of Scirocco drivers on the west coast.

Don't forget to bring cans of food for ND, a Talkabout two way radio,
a digital camera if you have one, cell phone, a printout of this
e-mail, and your car.

Tuesday (So CAL)
The German Team arrives and I will be at LAX to pick them up.
(Tuesday 15th of May  01:23 PM LAX Terminal 7 flight nr. is UA187 ).
This is the beginning of the tour.
Dinner will be in Laguna beach that evening at 7:00.
Reservations are for 8 at this time. Contact me if you want to attend.

Wednesday (So CAL)
A good day to wash a car or just relax.
Doug will tour with German team in LA.

Dinner will be at the Block of Orange at 8:00.
We will go to GameWorks after dinner.
We may even do some cart racing at Speedzone or Dromo 1.
Reservations are for 9 at this time. Contact me if you want to attend.
You may want to pack so you don't have to scramble.

Thursday (So CAL)
Dan May is arriving in to SD Thursday
at about 11am and should head up to Potter's place
that night driving Julie's car that Shawn just
finished rebuilding the motor! Eric (soltwede@private.com) will arrive
In San Diego and drive up with Shawn and the crew.
Jim, Don, and Ben arrive in OC.
Kevin will pick them up at the airport. Doug and the German team may
have lunch with the crew in OC. We pack up and then
meet at VWP at 4 PM. GET GAS ON THE WAY IN!!!

How do you get to VWP?????
Take the 5 north exit the 57 north/east and go to the Orange Wood exit
(second exit).
Turn right on to Orangewood from the exit off ramp. Turn left at
Eckhoff (first light) and head north east to Collins and turn right.
Turn left on to Elm st (1 block). You should see a VW near the shop,
I don't have the address but I think you can find
Virtual World Parts on the street.

Yarrow is trying make it to VWP
on Thursday but he will probably get to Lompoc Friday morning in his rocco
S.
Shawn, Julie, Dan M, Eric, Katy, Bill C, Hal, Dirk, Tina, Dirk, Wencke,
Doug, Kevin, Kathy, Craig Beaton, and some others
will depart for Lompoc at 7:00 PM Thursday from
VWP. We will have our Talkabouts set on channel 5,5.
We will take Main to Katella and then hook up on to the 5 north.
>From the 5 we take the 101 to Goleta and exit State street. We can
stop at this point for a quick drink before we head up the 154.
We exit the 154 at the 246 and drive through Solvang on our way to Lompoc.
We will stay at the Motel 6 ( motel6.com )in Lompoc so get your
reservations.
You will need to get late check in because we will arrive after 6PM.
If we have time I will take the crew on a wild road on the way up.

(North west crew)
Shannon Fenton will finish his last beer and throw a bunch of Seattle
clothes into a garbage bag. If you are in the NW you may want to
keep your eyes open when driving for a 16v red blur. Murphy from Renton will
be
driving down with a group.

Friday (Mid CAL)
Get up at 7:AM and meet all Lompoc Sciroccos in the Motel parking lot.
Yarrow, Ravr, and Fat Cuban will be driving in. We leave the Motel 6
parking lot at 8AM sharp. We then head off to
breakfast on HWY 1. We will have reservations.
The crew will be departing for The Bay at 9:30am.
Doug takes us on his special road tour (Scirocco twist).
Right after we pass Paso Robles we take HWY 46
West, which runs right into HWY 1. 46 has some great winding parts with
English-countryside hills.  Joe will meet the group at the 76 station on the
46
near the 101 or on the side of the road. We hook up with HWY 1 and head
north.
Dick (415-806-8996), Randy B and TBerk will hang out south of Monterey and
wait for the "road train" to come by with Talkabouts on channel 5,5.
If they kept going south they can't miss the train on a two lane highway.
Dinner will be in Monterey at one of the fast food places.
We want to avoid all the 5pm traffic so we intend to take our time on the
drive up.
If we have dinner in Monterey it will take even more time so we will not get
stuck
in traffic north of Monterey. I would say that the earliest we will
hit Monterey is 3:30 and the latest is 4:30. We may go to Laguna Seca and
or downtown to take a look and then head north at 6:30 or so.
We can use cell phones to finalize times.

After we leave Monterey we will head up HWY 1. This is the Monterey-Santa
Clara
cruise (Http//www.movietours.com/inpact/intro) to the hotel. We take
HWY 1 to the 17 to 880 to 101 and end up at the Santa Clara Marriott
2700 Mission College Blvd.

10am we all arrive at David G's house in Saratoga, for a great BBQ brunch
and detoxification session. Chris Gonzalez, and Craig with is 1988 SCIROCCO
should be on hand to help flip the French toast on the BBQ.
Hook up with MapQuest.com to get an overview of the area. Saratoga is a
suburb
located west of San Jose(southwest of ND headquarters)and is close to Hwy.
85.
Hwy 85 starts in the North at Hwy 101 by Moffit Field (where the show is)
and reconnects to Hwy. 101 in the south.

To get to David G's house take the "Saratoga Ave." exit off of 85. Head west
toward the mountains) when you turn onto Saratoga Ave.
Next go about 1 mi. (stay in right lane) until you come to Herriman (this is

the x-street) and turn right (you can only turn right BTW).
Herriman may be hard to see since there's no stop there but look for the
school crossing sign. Once on Herriman make your second left on River Ranch
Circle
The address is 13861 River Ranch Circle.
Fun starts between 10-11 AM! (Corrados are welcome)

Everyone who can possible get to the West Coast meet
this year should because you will enjoy yourself. Do not forget that this
is a weekend of fun for Scirocco enthusiasts. The ND show is not the main
event of the weekend for the A1 drivers. Saturday is when we all get the
opportunity
to see the list members in person and just talk about our interests.
Saturday is a party, a reunion, and a chance to test drive a project car. It
is an educational experience, and a chance to just have fun. This is the
"SHOW" for several others including me.  This year I am offering Scirocco
list T shirts for the best first time attendee to our Saturday meet. I will
award a shirt to the best MK1 and MK2 that has never attended the weekend
events. Paint will not be a category that is judged.

After we eat brunch the group will
head out for the spirited cruise through the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains.
We will hit the twisties via Hwy 9, then up into Skyline Blvd (Hwy35), Hwy
84 over
to San Gregorio, etc. We take pictures for an upcoming issue of Performance
VW featuring the West cost Scirocco meet. They will print as many as 20
pictures and a full feature
story. This is Scirocco only! PVW is a great magazine that
is much better than some of the other trashy rags.
So we need to show the world what is up in Scirocco world.
Join in and smile : ). THAT will be a blast.  Then we'll wind up back
at ND at about 4 for the beginning of their barbecue.

thereabouts and retreat to the Marriott for our annual parking lot
drinking/car gazing etc extravaganza..  :D

Saturday morning and should be at the ND BBQ. I hope that Glen H  from
Morgan Hill CA in his 1987 scirocco and Ian
join in on the fun.

Be there or be a Honda lover :P


Sunday
ND Show http://www.newdimensions.com/show/2001
Find shade and some A3 playing a good DVD, begin camping.

If you are
not comfortable showing your car in the ND show you just may wish you did at
the end of the weekend.  Please do not forget that this is not just a car
show for displaying polished cars it is a weekend of fun for Scirocco
enthusiasts. In years past we did not put our cars in the Sundays ND show
because parking
was limited and we did not want to take up a space that someone with a
polished showpiece should have taken. This is why we took over the outside
parking lot in 1999 and did not take over the show floor. Tim realized that
the show could grow and participation would grow expediently if he just
increased the show parking. In 2000 we took the opportunity use the larger
space that Tim provided and Scirocco.org had the largest turnout of pre
registered cars at the show. This is a grand accomplishment for a virtual
club. Many of the traditional style clubs were upset about the condition of
the Sciroccos that were shown. Some of our cars were rusty and other were
just nice daily drivers. My car is no polished show car but it still is nice
to see it on display and I am amazed when someone takes a second look at it.
The rusty cars have potential to be great cars some day. Many of us remember
back when our project car started out as a total piece of junk. It is great
to look back and see how far some of the cars have come. This is why is cool
to just show your ride. This year I am offering Scirocco list T shirts for
the best representative of a daily driver car that is entered in the Sunday
show. I will award a shirt to the best DD MK1 and MK2. Paint will not be a
category that is judged. Come out and let us see what you have and you
just may go home with some new clothes.
