in LA had to park my MCS in the company deck, the rental place gave me a POC ford... Aaaaaaaaaaa I already miss my buddy. its going to be a week, so when I get back I will need to burn at least 2 tanks of gas to get back to normal before I go home...

hilton infront of the DelAmo mall? if so, you're about 10min away from
the beach. take Hawthone south to PCH, make a right follow PCH to
A or B or C or D ave on your left (your choice) and you'll hit the beach.
(Redondo Beach).

goodluck with the ladies. damn, i miss LA.

I live in Torrance! I live less than 5 minutes from the beach, and you're not much further than that. The weather is a bit cool so I don't think you'll see many babes at the beach. Unfortunately my MCS is on order and will get here in February so I can't help you with your Mini withdrawals. There will be a Mini dealership north of you on Hawthorne, but that's in 2004.

Long Beach Mini has a great showroom and service. They sell MSRP (pick another one up!). About a half hour drive from where you are.

Drop me a PM if you have any questions about where to eat, entertainment, etc.
Way

Peter, I would love to finaly meet ya. sounds great, I did not know you were close, and a ride in any mini would be a treat after a week of not being in mine. I will call you thursday to set a time, .. how far is orange county from where the torrance hilton is? and the good thing is I even have my camera. noisy is not a bad thing.

thanks again for the invite Peter.

Kent

now Im stoked!

I live just down the street in Carson. I can't imagine being away from my ride, but it's happening when I go to the philippines next week (3 weeks!). So I can sympathize with the withdrawal haha.

There was a DS/B MCS parked right down the street from your hotel last week.
my friend drives a VR/W MC and works at Joanns (in the mall)... so you might see her driving around late at night when she's heading home. Sometimes I'll drop by and visit her.. so if you see a IB/ W MCS rollin around the mall... it could be me

hmm... OC meet on friday... I'll try to see you all there.
