Oxnard Tix & Local updates

Advance tickets are required for those going on the Oxnard auto museum tour.  They can be purchased at the following link:  http://mullinautomotivemuseum.tix.com/Event.asp?Event=333831

 

I suggest buying them ASAP since they may limit the number of people in the facility, though I don't anticipate a problem at this early date.  Including a service charge the price is $12 for adults and $8.60 for seniors (62+), and you print yourself an E-ticket.

 

A large contingent from the Porsche Club is joining us, so we are expecting a group of about 50.  Yolanda's in Oxnard has indicated they will accommodate us for lunch - I'll monitor that situation closely. 

 

I will be sending an E-vite for this tour when I have a few more details nailed down.  A larger gathering place than Panera Bread is at the top of that list.

 

Also attached is our 2011 schedule as of now, with dates later in the year yet to be finalized.  Note that the July event has moved to the 30th so we can support the Gathering of Friends car show on the 17th.  The bold type on the schedule notes "official events" sponsored and insured by the Golden Gate chapter.

 

Local market place:

 

Dave Bundy's Z3 with Dinan upgrades is for sale.  If anyone is interested I will put you in touch with him. 

 

BMW parts for sale - my neighbor Mike's new arrival is very small with 2 legs, so the 4-wheeled friend (328i E46 sedan) is gone!  Available (all new) are a set of 4 Kleen wheels for $40, a cabin filter for $20 and a Mahle KL66 fuel filter for $25 that fits many BMW models.
