Meeting up with Designer Steve this Saturday in Tustin CA 6-6-15

[rickshaw]

Just throwing it out there. I’m meeting up with Steve Jennes, Former Chief Designer for Isuzu (http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showpost.php?p=175814&postcount=1126) this Saturday. Anybody else want to join in. The only thing is it’s early. 7-9 AM

At Cars and Coffee - The Enderle Center in Tustin CA (Map) (http://www.autokennel.com/AutoKennel/Cars_and_Coffee.html)
14081 S Yorba Street, Tustin, CA 92780

It may be the last time for Steve. He has taken a job out of state.

Also Steve is in the market for a Vehicross. Any leads?

hey Rick...

Fyi, my fam and I will be going down to San Diego for a little r&r next week (6/8). I'm also going to meet up with Jo during that time. I haven't seen you both for a while and it would be great to see familiar faces again. I won't have the vx unfortunately. But, would still like to get together and catch up. I'll also try to get your rear plate done by then so I can bring it. Just needs to be painted. rudy

Wish I was closer to you guys. It would be super cool to meet Steve and pick his brain. Take pictures and notes and report back please. :thumbup:

Hi Rudy,

A meet-up sounds great. It’s been a very long time. We’ll have to firm up the details.

Looking forward to it,
Gene (rickshaw)

Hey Ahdoman,

Your the owner of the One and Only Pearl White VX, very cool. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday.

[ahdoman]

If Steve is looking for a VX...

IMO...The Dragon thats for sale in San Fran ...
...looks very good for the price and miles ( 99K ).

OR.. I have one in Arkansas for sale with 118K miles..
..It needs cosmetics > rear cladding ding, drivers seat tear etc......
... but very good mechanicals.

Jo - you're thinking on this is all wrong... sleep until about 11pm tonight, get up and go to the first party. When that one's winding down go to the next one and start partying your way up the 5 fwy. By the time you hit Tustin it will be time for coffee, donuts and cars.

[JoFotoz]

....and a DUI !

Save me a spot for the whore plus trailer...

..I'll be there as close to 7;00 as i can.

Seriously.. I'll be there :thumbup:

Hey Jo and Steve,

The map is not that good.
Here are some better directions The Enderle Center in Tustin
14081 S Yorba Street, Tustin, CA 92780
From LA take 5 south to 22 east to 55 south, exit 17th street (Tustin), on 17th cross over freeway and make first right on Yorba, make left into The Enderle Center.

From San Diego take 5 north to 55 north, exit 17th, turn right on 17th, make first right on Yorba, make left into The Enderle Center.

When you go into the driveway go left, I will be there, there’s lots of room there.

Just so you know, the Original Cars and Coffee Irvine closed last year after an 8 year run. It was hosting 400+ cars every Saturday. Even 1500 cars on the last day. Now there are 3 smaller car gatherings, Enderle Center in Tustin, Aliso Town Center in Aliso Viejo and San Clemente. Just letting you know Enderle is tiny by comparison.

Looking forward to see the ORW and Trailer.

[JoFotoz]

Great to see you again Gene...
..Your Dragon is as IMMACULATE as ever :_brickwal

Awesome to meet you Steve..and Finally see the fabled "Pearl White"

Even saw Chip Foose :clap:

Cheers..great morning out :thumbup:

Had a great time except Designer Steve was a no show. So sorry about that.
It was nice to see Jo again and meet ahdoman with his 1 of 1 pearl white VX.
Jo's trailer was very cool, I loved the Moab Mud patina.

Even though Steve didn't show up I'm really glad I made the trip.

Gene - your dragon is amazing! The attention to detail is stunning!

Jo - the ORW is intimidating! I think it was the most popular of the 3 VX's.

Thanks again guys...
