Count me in! It's my birthday weekend...YAY!!! I guess I shouldn't be happy because of my EXTREMELY advanced age, but WTF, I am HAPPY!


Clover

 

Happy B-Day to Clover :smile:
I will be there with you guys, but I have never been in Santa Paula area.
Do you have any plan for Lunch?
I know for sure Clover gets her B-Day cake

-- Toshi

 

There's a good Mexican place in Santa Paula. I cannot remember its name, but will dig it up from my records from the Santa Paula Airport MINI Meet I planned back in October, 2002.

Ahem....in case "anyone" is reading this...I like chocolate!

Clover

 

Hahah congrats Clover!!! You're STILL a youngin!!
Wait a minute, my birthday comes before yours. I should be congratulating myself.

Did you all see Linda's email to Shawna? I didn't realize she lived up that way. (Shawna was a driver from the first Target Smart Tour we did) Actually I still have no clue where it is, but should be fun! I plan to bring our baby, so it should make for a fun little outting for him as well!

 

humm..so which way we are motoring
I thought Shawna was from Venture area.

Mexican food sounds good for Lunch

 

Richard,

If it's not on Main Street, it's nearby! LOL! I'll find it online and post a link here. And happy birthday to YOU! You are truly a young'n!

Clover

 

Oh no, I meant I have no idea where Santa Paula is, since I've never been there.

Yes, I'm a young'n and damn proud of it. Thank you!!!

 

I can only search 2 restaurants:

TIA Babe's Burritos & Mexican Foods
915 East Harvard Boulevard
Santa Paula, CA 93060

Los Compadres Sport Mexican
650 West Harvard Boulevard
Santa Paula, CA 93060

 

The Museum Address:

1001 E Main St, Santa Paula, CA 93060

Mapquest says 1 hour 12 minutes or 74 Miles from Culver City but that's taking the 101, and we are taking PCH. It seems to be about 12 miles north of Ventura.

 

:smile: Let me search my notes, Toshi and Richard, to see which Mexican restaurant was recommended. I'm sure both that Toshi listed are good.

Ahem, Richard: look at a map, sweetie! LOL! Santa Paula is between Ventura and Fillmore. It's a lovely citrus and avocado growing area with an airport known for the collection of antique and vintage planes there!

At any rate, it is a lovely drive from Malibu up to Santa Paula. You'll like it!

Clover

 

A map?? What's that?? I only got the digital equivalents from the Internet and my MINI Nav.
Ok, so now I know where it is. Sounds cool. I like vintage planes!

Thanks!

 

see Clover, Richard and Jirawan have Navs.
I still depend on AAA maps just like you

 

:smile: Well, Toshi, I'm hoping that Santa will bring me a Garmin 2610 nav system! LOL! And I use the internet to map things out, as well as my Thomas Map Guides! I like reading maps!


Clover

 

Ok, thanks to the miracle of the Internet and my secret tool for route planning, I've found some interesting info!

This is a Mexican restaurant just a few blocks from the Museum
Tia Babe's Burritos & Mexican Foods
915 E Harvard Blvd
Santa Paula, CA 93060
Phone: (805) 525-5441

No idea if this is like a Hooters or what, given the name. LOL. There are other restaurants too, that's just the closest.

The trip (PURPLE) from our starting point in Malibu is about 47.7 Miles to the destination or 1 hour 24 minutes with only 18 turns. LOL

 

Richard, dear: how many miles from the meeting point at Topanga Cyn. Blvd. to the starting point near Point Dume? LOL! I bet it's closer to 60 miles, when all is said and done!


Clover

 

Hahaha, ok ok, you got me

I couldn't find the intersection of PCH and Topanga Canyon Blvd., so I took the nearest choice.

I'm at the mercy of technology.

 

What do you mean, you couldn't find the intersection of PCH and Topanga Canyon Blvd? It is just beyond Pacific Palisades, where your dad lives!

Try again, sweetie!

Clover

 

You win!

 

Aw...I just wanted more accurate mileage/timing for the participants, sweetie! I'm sorry! :smile:

Um...so where's the new, improved, updated map? LMAO!!! :smile:

Clover

 

Are we going to have lunch at

Tia Babe's Burritos & Mexican Foods
915 E Harvard Blvd
Santa Paula, CA 93060
Phone: (805) 525-5441

Did you have reservation for lunch? I can call them to find out today if not.

 

I don't know if we need it, but that would be great for you to find out!

Thanks Toshi!

Richard

 

Darn - wish we could join you all - haven't seen ya in a while!!! Already have plans though....have a great time!!:smile:

Chow!

Donna

 

Yeah same here! We're doing our get togethers monthly, so there shall be plenty more chances! See you next time!

Richard

 

Here's a link to the exhibit we'll see, "Revolution in Auto Racing,
How Coopers Changed the World, From the Mike Taggart Collection:"

http://www.oilmuseum.net/cooper.html

Looks like a very interesting exhibit about the Cooper heritage in race cars and features a Mini Cooper, too!
