View Full Version : San Diego Meet & VXC update...
hey guys and gals...
My family and I will be driving down to San Diego for an overdue mini-vacation on Thursday, June 24th and head back to the bay area by the following Monday, June 28th. I'd like to meet w/ any fellow VXers on Saturday, the 26th, while we're down there. I plan to bring 3 prepaid skidplates and other accessories to the owners in the area. Be great to see familiar and new faces of the VX family. Let me know if this is good for anyone who can make it.
As an VXC update, I'm shipping 5 skidplates this weekend and have about 13 to finish up. I thought I can finish all by this end of the month. But, it looks like I won't start shipping the remaining batch til the 2nd week of June. I'll be contacting the remaining owners of the prepaid plates for final color choice and shipping address.
Once I finish and ship out all VX accessories, I plan to cram whatever time I can spare into designing and producing new stuff that I have had in mind for a while. Depending on schedule and time availability, I hope to be able to bring the results down to San Diego. We'll see.
Anyway, let's hear from ya'. ;)

Okay all West Coast VX'ers.
We are going to have a mini-meet. Give me some ideas and I'll see if I can it together. No matter what we will have a group BBQ at Mission Beach. Make sure your VX's are nice and polished for a group photo.
Please confirm with me so I can get a running number of what type of space we will need. Mission Bay can get pretty crowded and I will try to get a permit so we know we have space.

I'm located in San Marcos in northern San Diego county. I'd really love to meet up. I saw a silver VX at the corner of Midway and Rosecrans last weekend, anyone here?

Okay, people are starting to check in. We still need more. It's going to be a fun-filled day. I have spoken to a couple of potential sponsor (off-road company's) that might be willing to give me some things to give-away.
COME ON OUT!!!
Look at the 2nd post, one below Ron's. I'm putting a list together.

Blah...Blah...Blah...Blah... At least I'm talking;Db; Anyhow, I've spoken to Off Road Warehouse, the largest off-road store here in San Diego. Ask them if they want to sponsor a give-away, They asked me what was I lookin for. I said really big tires, shocks, service, foglights, 4 point seatbelt/harness, custom this and that....at that point he told me to stop. I also said as little as a $5.00 girt cert. Okay, we got along and after speaking for a while he said he might want to help. He told me to call back in a week after he spoke with some people. Left messages with Discount tire, In & Out Burgers.
Hey Tone, Hey Ron...wanna be a sponsor at our VX meet:naughty: SERIOUSLY!!!
We'll see. Who knows might get a million bucks...might not get anything at all.

Hmmm. Kinda knocks my assumption that Anita is a classical orchestra singer. Previously, I pictured Anita belting out tunes in a formal gown accompanied by a full orchestra. I guess her classy black VX lent to her formal aura. :confused:
I'm still in the undecided column about venturing down from Middle California. It's a full day drive from Clovis to San Diego.

I'm not gonna be able to make it once again. :cryb: On the 26th, my group is gonna be performing at the premiere opening of a new night club which will occupy the Aqua Dome in Long Beach. Formerly the home of the Spruce Goose, it now will be the home for the largest night club in North America. Last night, I got confirmation that our group is going on.
Bobbi, I am sorry that I once again am not able to come and meet you and the other So Cal owners. Thanks for putting the meet together. I know that I will be missing out on a lot of fun.

I'm here in San Diego looking for a job. So I'll probably be able to come to the meet. I don't know if my wife will be here by then, but there is a possibility. I have my custom blue VX with me and I'll bring it to the meet freshly washed...
Looking forward to meeting others in the area...

Hello Kahuna,
I will be there to first help my Cousin move but regardless I don't mind helping out bringing food,drinks or send $$. Sending $$ would be better for me as I will be needing space to transport furniture and I don't know San Diego well enough.
Just checking and thought I would offer any help.
Cheers,

I am really hoping that our group is going on early at this music festival on Saturday in Long Beach so I can run down and still meet with you. The festival runs from noon to midnight... we dont know yet our performance time and may not until the day of the show. I have Ron's cell number so I can try to stay in touch. The meet sounds like a blast!:lookr:

well as much as I was looking forward to this, it looks like i'm not gonna make it. :( Looks like I'm taking a surprise trip to Phoenix tomorrow to pick up a wrecked truck for a friend. In the end it will be a good thing though, this friend happens to own a machine shop and is going to help me out with some new products for you guys. Hope you all have fun, be sure to take lots of pics.

Hi All,
Sorry I have not gotten back to everybody. I've been teaching 2 soccer camps this entire week from 8am to 8pm. By the time I get home I'm exhausted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyhow, the directions are posted above. I will try to get out a mapquest soon.
You will need to bring your own food selection with you. I will be providing drinks (sodas-water) for all. Beer you will need to bring yourself. Bumble V-X will be bringing paper plate, forks and stuff along with (I think), some rolls and Patato Salad. If somebody wants to bring a watermelon or two, maybe some freash fruit or another type of salad, that would be great. Somebody may want to bring some cookies or something for a quick desert. I'm still trying to lacate a BBQ. Do any of you have one that you can bring to the meet? Oh...anybody have a basketball?
If so, please post right here on this page what you can bring with you.
EXAMPLE:
KAHUNA- Drinks, sodas, Ice, Pugg goals for a soccer game (if anybody wants to). Cups
sveltax
06/24/2004, 08:41 PM
I'll bring the easy dessert. Cookies, brownies, maybe a pie or so, plus a case of Mexican beer (most likely Pacifico).
Any idea yet if there will be a BBQ at the meet? I'd like to bring a slab of meat to consume!
Kahuna
06/24/2004, 10:19 PM
Hi ALL,
I just bought a BBQ for our meet. It's not hugh but it will do just fine.
So........bring your favorite meet or chicken or...veggie whatever and enjoy.
hey all...
Just updating that we're in a motel somewhere in Coalinga (?) about 2/3 of the way down to SD. Should arrive at our destination (Cindy's sister house) some time tonight with all the baby stops we will be making along the way.
Anyway, we can bring get some watermelon and other fruits for the BBQ if no one else is getting those.
Looking forward to seeing new as well as veteran owners tomorrow!
Hope to see you Anita, Lisa K, and the rest of the So. Cal crew! ;)

I've got the plates, forks, knives, napkins, rolls, and potato salad covered.
Had a long hard look at our "OLD" portable BBQ. Rust ate it up... sorry.
We plan on leaving this area around 6:30 - 7:00am. (Bringing a few teenagers so most likely closer to the 7:00am).

Where's the PICS!!:naughty: :smack: :rotate:
Got pix. But just got home from the 12 hr. drive late last night with alot of baby stops along the way. Haven't got a chance to download them on my laptop yet. But, plan to later tonight.
Anyway, the meet was cool! The turn out to be about 8-9 VXs on the grounds, not to mention a a drive-by by a another Astral that saw us but kept on going? Though the group was small, it allowed us to get to know each other and their rides a bit more closer. Definitely enjoyed the conversations and stories with all and just hanging out!
It was a pleasure to meet new and old faces again. Andy and Debbie (Swordy/BumbleV-X), it was great seeing you two again. I had a lot of fun catching up and seeing some of your new mods and talking shop!
Gene (Rickshaw), good to see you too again and your Dragon VX looks emmaculate with only 7k miles on it! Hope you'll enjoy your plate!
Jeff (Sveltax), great meeting you and thanks for showing me the ins and outs of your awesome Axiom. Also, thanks again for letting us try out your engine cover with the VX. I think it looks alot better than our stock covers.
Kilna, good meeting you too and I hope you got enough pics to convince your other half to justify you getting more mods for your VX! ;)
Brent (Tiggergreen), good to see you again! Hope that you start on your new job soon! Godd luck with that! Was great to see the only blue VX in person too.
And Bobbie (Kahuna), thanks for getting all this together and organizing the meet from the get go. Definitely a pleasure to meet you as well. Hope you enjoy your plate too.
I hope I didn't leave anyone else out. Thanks to all who made it as it made the trip down south well worth it! Pics are soon to follow. :)
Ok, here's some candid pics taken during the meet. Mostly of the fellow owners of whom I'm still thankful to meet. Other shots were of Sabrina, our daughter having a good time.
