Saturday October 8th, CJ's Car Show and BBQ

**300+_T5R_855** · 09-18-2011 11:57 PM

CJ's car show, held at Perforce Software's beautiful grass parking lot is in its 3rd year, and should be bigger and better than ever! This event coincides with Alameda's Park Street Car Show, we'll have two walking tours through Park St where we can admire over 400 cars lining the streets of Alameda. This event is a social and automotive historical gathering you won't want to miss!

This year is cj's 50th birthday celebration. Come out enjoy the festivities, 10:30am and 1:30pm walk down Park Street to view the pre 1975 muscle cars, BBQ and picnic eats from 11:30, cake around 4:00. This is a leisurely event with no awards. Just show up, share your car, enjoy the food and good company.

The show is across the street from my shop at:

2318 Clement Ave
Alameda, CA 94501

Bummer. Would love to, but out of town that weekend. Looking forward to some pics...

**850arrrsaylikepirate** · 09-19-2011 09:51 PM

I'd should be able to make it!!

Do I need to bring a present? What's on your list CJ??

**300+_T5R_855** · 09-20-2011 10:56 AM

Aston Martin DB9, and color is OK.

No gifts. You can bring some food or drinks though. It will be a potluck BBQ. We'll provide the burgers, chicken or whatever for the BBQ, but some fixin's will be needed, potato salad, green salad etc.

**850arrrsaylikepirate** · 09-20-2011 12:11 PM

DB9, hmmmm I'll see what I can do.

Salad's, alrighty then I'll see about that too.

**noeish** · 09-20-2011 12:25 PM

I found this DB9 online for _cheap_ -- great color too...

**850arrrsaylikepirate** · 09-20-2011 09:11 PM

^^Couplings or gender benders?

**noeish** · 09-21-2011 02:03 AM

Depends on what you're into. You can find anything you want to on the internet.

**850arrrsaylikepirate** · 09-21-2011 02:10 AM

Ahem, I see.

LOL.

**Ocean Racer** · 09-21-2011 02:22 AM

Will there be a show car wash ?

**michaelc** · 09-22-2011 12:03 AM

Definitely hoping to attend. Any chance this is the same day as the Alameda flea market? If so, odds go way up. Wife really wants some new furniture and apparently that is the place to be.

**FlntRoc** · 09-22-2011 04:55 AM

I should be there with my saffron V70. XC90 is giving me some trouble right now

**300+_T5R_855** · 09-23-2011 09:45 PM

Looking forward to seeing all. It should be another excellent show. Lets make it bigger and better. C'mon out!

**300+_T5R_855** · 09-29-2011 11:01 AM

Next Saturday all. Register on the website so we can get a head count for food. http://www.ggvcoa.org

**michaelc** · 09-29-2011 04:37 PM

I have a work function in Tilden from 11-3 that day, but will likely leave a bit early to catch the second half of the show. I figured I wouldn't register since I won't be participating in the pot luck aspect, but let me know if you'd prefer I register anyway.
Looking forward to it.

**300+_T5R_855** · 09-30-2011 01:49 AM

Up at the steam trains?

No need to register, just come on out. It helps to plan for food if you were coming earlier, but I am sure there will be plenty if you're famished. Helen is a school cafeteria planner and she won't want any of us going hungry...

**Rsterns** · 10-01-2011 11:41 AM

It works out that I'll be up in Lafayette that weekend, so I'm planning to stop by. Being in Lompoc, I'm caught in-between North and South with zero local activity. Looking forward to meeting some of you!

**SWD850R** · 10-03-2011 10:57 AM

Sorry, won't be able to make it. Have to be in LA for the weekend.

**850arrrsaylikepirate** · 10-03-2011 11:34 AM

I'm for sure. John has me down for bringing drinks

**Rsterns** · 10-03-2011 12:04 PM

I can most likely stop and pick up something to bring, what will be most needed? Also, I'm bringing my good camera.

Send an email to John Sharp: john.sharp@ggvcoa.org as he is organizing the food.

Good camera? Should I bring my 1Ds

Chili, drinks, potato salad, burger and hot dogs, chips and salsa are already taken care of, oh yeah and B'day cake too. Let your imagination run wild, like tha Aussie...

^^ Best pic

I didn't get to meet you today though I saw you zoom out the driveway

**michaelc** · 10-09-2011 12:28 AM

Bummed I wasn't able to make it. However, on my way to Tilden I can claim to have passed this lady and her beautiful ride on the bridge, right after the deadly s-curve:

**300+_T5R_855** · 10-09-2011 10:59 AM

right after the deadly s-curve:

It's only deadly if you shouldn't be driving a car.

Thanks to everyone who came out. It was a birthday celebration I wouldn't trade for anything.

This is the best picture. Biased like you Joe, of course.

**krn** · 10-09-2011 12:17 PM
