what are all the local southbay(Torrance, Carson, San Pedro,Palos Verdes and surrounding) guys planning on doing? drive down with the caravan or go the night before? i know what some people are doing but i want to see if anyone wants to meet up and then catch the caravan...this is what i was thinking

for those who went to socaleuro last year we meet up at at the Starbucks on the corner of Torrance and Figueroa. The 110 is right next to it so we can hop on and catch the SD/OC caravan on the 405. ill get ahold of someone from the caravan to call me and let me me know when their close so we can get rolling.

heres a map for you guys...its right on the corner of Torrance and Figueroa..theres a burger king and a BIG Kmart there also..cant miss it

UPDATE:
We will start meeting up at 6am the caravan should get near us around 6:30-6:45 that should give us 30mins to to wait for people. As soon as Harley gives me the call we will get rolling...whos ever late their gonna have to catch up to us. If you want my number you can PM me

Im down.. what time does the south caravan leave? What time we estimating that we'll be leaving this lot? :help

Should be fun.. :buttrock


Edit - So it looks like the IKEA point is planning to hit the road at 6:15am (correct me if Im wrong), and according to Google maps should cross the 110 (just north of our point here) in roughly 25ish minutes. So we will probably need to be getting on the freeway between 6:30-6:45. :dunno So I'll be planning on being at the Kmart lot here by 6:15. :thumbup:

We'll have it nailed down that morning when Jason gets the phone call.. but figured I'd toss out these times for those that need a ballpark time-zone to shoot for. :buttrock

OC with SD should leaving at 6 to get to LA by 7 if SD gets there by 6 of course. SD is suppose to leave at 4:30. so i say roughly 6:30 you guys should be leaving maybe sooner.

So if everything goes in smoothly no later than 6:45. Get in touch with the SD leader to call you or have harley call you when SD leaves. Should take them 1.5hr to get to you.

If I end up not going to the friday night party, I'll be there at 6:15. Remember last time the caravan came flying by and we missed it?? I don't want to do that again.
