I know this sounds sort of gay for car enthusiasts...BUT its FREE!

Maybe a meet?

I'm sure during the week would be best, we can get most everyone in the one basket.

Nothing gay about getting in a wicker basket underneith a twin propane burner big enough to BBQ a cow!

With no steering but the wind!

It looks like they would do reservations for groups. Check into it!

How about a Sunday in September? 9th, 16th or 30th? Use the SoCalLX calendar www.SoCalLX.com as a reference for available dates.

Many of us come to the car meets "solo" since the families don't always want to hang out at a car gathering, but this could be a real nice family gathering to bring the significant other and kids to.

I dunno, Ballons, Clowns the whole thing just makes me a bit nervous!

But hey, I'm game if we can get enough people interested and I'm available!

I don't know? I don't think a ballon could get off the ground with me in it.

I'll see what I can find out about it for a Sunday meet.

And Walter, it holds something like 40 people at a time. I'm sure there's room to sit on the basket ledge.
