I like this idea only because they've got huge open lots. If I recall correctly, there are huge lots in front of the Target, Petsmart, and Costco areas. Even the one in front of the Best Buy is pretty big and he's right- restaurants are just across the way

How about Newport Beach, Seaside? In front of Seaside bakery, that place has bomb ham and cheese croissants.

Well im glad there is interest! I like the Idea of the Plaza's ACROSS from IVC. The the most fair meeting spot for everyone IMO. I'd say jeffery is the mid point of S Orange County.

Hey guys, what about that sort of new shopping area down Jamboree? They have Guppy House and 85C in there with a few other places to eat. Every single time I'm there, the parking in one corner of the lot is very empty. Thats another option for us I guess if we eat something as well...

All those places in irvine sound good, i think we should meet one night and check out alll of the places and then decide, hopefully like 5-6 of us can go around and check them out, because it'll be really hard to decide just by saying i think this place or you think that place. so lets pick a night, meet up at one of the prospected places, and check out a couple other spots, and if we can't get to all of them, then another night we can go cruising and check out the rest of the potential spots.

I'm down for that lol i live 5 minutes away. But yea parking at the beach costs money.... but there is one location where we could park free but it'd have to be later at night when there isn't many ppl at the beach, probably 8 or so and the parking closes at midnight. idk the name but, if your going north PCH you pass mainstreet and u make a left at the next light its empty at night. i think it would be ok to chill there, and it would be a decent spot as long as we don't cause trouble. its super close to the pier and mainstreet too.

Sounds like a good place to try out, never been there before.

i don't suggest bella terra, i hate the security there they're so gay and annoying, i went to an is 300 meet and i was the only one w/ an is 350 lol but one of the dumb *** kids just jumped up and waved at the security camera and they decided to kick us out. I'd assume nobody would do stuff like that but still any little thing and they'll kick you out, if your not standing next to your car they'll say you can't be here.


On a side note, I would like to hear somebody's HKS hi-power and Greddy SE or SP2 exhaust, i can't make up my mind which one i want, and i have yet to hear either in person

why would we have a meet inland? The good thing about south county is we have nice beach views. I was thinking something of PCH like maybe crystal cove. Also HB is north county.
