Lunch with Socal 240sx owners(meet). - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*Grant* · 07-17-2003, 03:26 AM

I had this idea and thinking about it for a while. After talking it over with my uncles, I would like to plan a meet to help promote my uncles' new restaurant, Mandarin City. It is a Chinese restaurant in Cardiff, CA. which is about 30 min north of San Diego (10-15 min south of oceanside). So a tad bit closer to the LA guys.
Would anyone want to go to a meet and have lunch there? food is good, but not cheap (unfortunately most Dine in restaurants aren't). I will try to work something out with them. I am sorry I do not have deep pockets so I cannot pay for lunch.

I would like to help my uncle out in building a reputation for the restaurant. if i can get enough people, and work out the timing with my uncle we can
setup a meet there. the parking lot holds about 15-20 cars at least, so we should have no problem....

Not to be rude, but please dont come and park your car and stick around and just take off, kind of an insult to the chefs (my uncle and his brothers).Be kind and order some food!! hehe after all the spot is provided for FREE!

I am shooting for August 2nd 2003 (saturday), a week after Drift Day 7. please email me if you are able to make it, please email me or pm me so i can make a guest list and make the proper preperations for them to hold the event.
The event will start at noon til 2 -3pm at the latest (there will be regular customers too, so we can stick around for TOO long, plus I got all your dishes to wash afterwards

)

Here is the location of the restaurant:
Mandarin City
815 Birmingham Drive
Cardiff, CA 92007
(760) 436-6027

Directions?
Southbound
5 south, exit Birmingham Dr. Left at exit, right at the chevron gas station (it's behind there)

Northbound
5 North, exit Birmingham Dr. Right at exit, right at the chevron gas station (it's behind there)

chirpnslide · 07-23-2003, 12:10 PM

more than happy to go!

ISTOTOSAO · 07-23-2003, 01:11 PM

that is just down the street from my family's house. sounds good to me if all goes well with my finances.

*revat619* · 07-28-2003, 03:32 AM

Hey, everybody. There's been a change of plans...well sort of.

Grant just called me and unfortunately, he wont be their for the meet; he has to leave for Taiwan. However, he still wants us to have the meet/lunch so he has put his cousin and me in charge of organizing the meet and what not.

Date, time, and location are all still the same though. Hope to see you guys there.

*revat619* · 07-29-2003, 01:55 AM

Ok, so based on this thread, it looks like the following people will be going:

itsybitsy240sxEy
pruto (maybe)
cali240sxdrifter
anubis9228
JasonNagra
chirpnslide
2NRS130
me (revat619)

Anybody else?

crypticfury85 · 07-29-2003, 05:33 PM

When is this? I might be interested

addicted2sp33d · 07-29-2003, 06:56 PM

I might be interested... I don't know any of you guys. I think it would be a good opportunity to meet some of you.

Here's an idea... how about we bump it up one weekend (Saturday, August 2), would Grant be able to make that?

240Degrees · 07-29-2003, 09:27 PM

ill try to make it. add me to the list. can i drive up with somebody?

*revat619* · 07-30-2003, 03:35 AM

Actually, Grant originally scheduled the meet/lunch for this Saturday, August 2nd. And he said not to reschedule so i'm just doing what he said. I know what you mean though. I told him why dont we just reschedule it so you can make it, but he said no.

Anyway, here's the new list:

itsybitsy240sxEy
cali240sxdrifter
anubis9228
JasonNagra
chirpnslide
2NRS130
240Degrees
pruto (maybe)
crypticfury85(maybe)
addicted2sp33d(maybe)

and me of course.

hmm, do you think we need those little stickie name tag things? If you guys think we need them, i'll pick some up, but its up to you.

Dousan_PG · 07-30-2003, 10:13 AM

MAYBE me too...not sure.
might do 5 lug swap or not...depends how lazy and how i feel..probably...not hahahaha...anyways, i might be down for it.

pruto · 07-30-2003, 11:58 AM

i don't think i can make it, i'm really low on cash right now =/

itsybitsy240sxEy · 08-01-2003, 03:01 PM

there's a chance i might not be able to make it as well.. but if i do go, i'll make driftingpanda (danny), dousan, and maybe dorifto180sx come down there with me. if i don't make it, i hope everybody has fun!

Ah, whatever, you're adults, do what you want, i dont care...
