The plan is to have everyone meet at the Starbucks located at 20806 Figueroa St in Carson CA.
It is right off the 110 Fwy just south of the 405 Fwy.

Mike will be filming our long caravan as we head up the 110 fwy to Motor Village LA.
They will also have an aerial camera filming us as we approach their location.

DO NOT GO STRAIGHT TO MOTOR VILLAGE LA
You will not be able to get in ahead of us and there is no place for you to stage your car.

The San Diego group will be meeting up at 8:45 (maybe just a little earlier if it is raining) at the I-15 Camp Pendleton rest area a few miles North of the 78. We will cruise over to meet the main group at the Starbucks in Carson and all go over together in a tremendous show of force : >)

Believe SRT has a pretty cool Viper on display, and it will be great to meet some of the guys responsible for producing our beloved Vipers.

Hey Everybody!
We have a few cars going out together tomorrow, thinking about stopping to collect a few more cars if anyone is interested. We would meet at Spaghettini's off the 405 and Seal Beach Blvd. off ramp @ 9am and leave at 9:30 for the next meeting point. Let us know if there are any takers!

Last minute correction.

The meeting place for the San Diego group is off the I-5 (not the I-15) freeway. It is the rest area on the Northbound I-5 freeway in the Camp Pendelton area.

Want to thank Lance, SoCal VCA, SRT and Motor Village LA for a fantastic event. Made us feel like rock stars.

We were treated like VIP's. After a fun slither through the LA freeways, we arrived at Motor Village LA. This is a fantastic 4 story building stocked to the brim with Chryslers, Fiats, Jeeps and SRT's. We drove up the classic circular (you have seen this in all the movies) ramp up to the 4th floor, where we staged on the roof with an amazing panorama of the city. You could see all the way to the HOLLYWOOD sign on the hill.

Lance got some great group shots and we went down to the amazing Viper Pit. It was full of wall art, a Formula One setting, a full selection of Vipers including SRT, ACR, GTS and even an amazing Viper GT3 in full race livery.

They served us Champaigne, Mimosas, fresh made omelets and the best tasting french toast I have ever experienced.

We got to meet the owner and general manager of the business, and were allowed full access to all the cars in the showrooms. I have never seen so many Fiats in one location. Huge selection.

They shuttled us over to the LA International Auto show, and we were blown away with the new Graphite/carbon silver paint. It is in super limited production, but shows off all the tiniest details of the body work. You see design details that do not show up with regular paint. With the orange stitching and accent pieces, this car is evidently pretty special.

A number of Motor Village employees were staged around the facility to assist us in parking, which elevators went where, and to make sure we were given VIP treatment.

I do not know how Lance continues to set up these special ViperClub events, but this one was really first class.

Thanks again to SRT and Motor Village LA

This event was over the top and a great way for us to close out our year.

By the way, They did all the work.  I was in charge of the weather.  ;D

Wow what a great time we had yesterday. Thanks so much to Motor Village LA and Mike Bell for opening its doors and having our Socal Viper family in to the SRT room.
A fantastic turn out great people, food and great fun. To top it all off Mike/Motor Village had a GT3R Viper on lone from SRT sitting in the back of the room. What a treat, we are lucky to have great Sponsors like Motor Village and SRT to help SoCal Viper Club enjoy great events like this. I don't know what Mike Bell has in store for us next but he will have to work hard to top this! Thanks again to all who help organize and put this event on.

Cathy and I wanted to say a "Big Thank you" to Lance and everyone  involved in coordinated this famous event and also to Dennis Lin and Mike Bell for hosting us with open arms. The event was first class, way beyond our expectations.

It was also great to see everyone from the club, we don't get out much due to our schedules, but we had a great time and appreciate the time, cost and effort in setting up the event.

Everyone have a great Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Years.

Blessings,

Thank you to Motor Village LA and SRT and everybody else that made this event happen. It was great to see all the new cars at the LA autoshow, especially the SRT line up! The Generation 5 Viper with the special metallic paint looked great! I really hope next year we are going to be able to see the new Generation 5 ACR. I also want to say thanks to Lance for all his hard work over the last several years. I am looking forward to some other cool events in 2014.

A huge THANK YOU to Motor Village LA, Dennis, Mike and all employees for their excellent hospitality.
                                 That Viper at the Auto show was BAD-ASS. SRT does it again.

The Chrysler exhibit at the show was superb.  I love the special addition grey Viper .... now I need a bonus!

Thanks for all your support of SoCal Viper.  We look to many more events together.

Marcela and I had a blast at this event! We were still talking about how incredible the whole thing was when we pulled in our driveway at 10PM last night. From the epic turnout to the great hospitality shown to us by Motor Village LA to the royal treatment to the awesome Gen V on display at the La Auto Show it was a great day. This is what makes the SoCal region the best in the country - we have incredible people, incredible events and incredible support from the businesses around us! It's always worth the drive down from Vegas. We hope to see all you guys again soon.

Wow - Thank you ALL for the positive feedback!

Annie and I were talking on the way home last night!  We discussed how we only hoped that our new SoCal Viper family, enjoyed themselves during their visit as much as we did hosting the event! 

It was great to feel the Viper / SRT room that I built for one purpose alone, come to life..... It is my vision of a true 'Celebration of Performance'.  Thank you all for helping us transform it from a great looking building, with cool artwork, into a buzzing, high energy meeting place where it's ALL about the people who happen to share the same dedication to the Viper and SRT brand as we do!  Lance, I will send GoPro Video and Photo's to you as I get them from my team - great job with your photos and feel free to post or pass ours on to the members too!

What do you think about making it a yearly event?  Hmmm.......
If yes, I have a few ideas to improve 2014's event:
1) Although I drove my ACR up and down all floors over and over again to test the ramps, it appears a few (RT - Sorry) have your suspension set a little more 'hardcore' than my 'kindergarten' settings!  Next year we 'grind some concrete' here and there.  Also we will provide you the option to park in my workshop for easy entrance and exit, while fully secure!
2) Got to get the cars on roof parked more orderly so we can get a heli-camera to fly by all of us with our cars and get the skyline, Hollywood sign etc.
3) I will provide (4) vans to continuously circulate, with clear signage, that can drop off and pick up under the valet entrance.  We were a little disappointed that some had to walk back!

Lance, as always thanks for your kind words and dedication, you inspire us all to keep the SoCal Viper Club as one of the premier automotive performance clubs, regardless of the happenings around us.  Fellow members, please support the club by getting you SoCal Viper Club membership in soon, I'm sure we will have a fantastic 2014 together!

I'm thinking of a LE MANS, June 14th, evening dinner party, dance and of course live race viewing party in my 'Viper Pit'...... What do you think?

PS. Ralph - Beth - Bryan, thanks so much for the GT3R loan, we all loved it - However, by unanimous vote we would like the Bonnet to have a Motor under it and the Slicks to have a Race Track under them next time PLEASE!    ;)

Thanks again all for a fantastic day and we will see most of you in Aviara  :)

Mike and Annie Bell

Wow what a great event! Awesome Viper events like they used to be, I hope we have many more.

Pictures can't do the Carbon Edition justice. I wasn't sure how I'd like the matte finish, but after seeing it in person I was in awe of the details that it showed on the car.

Being able to take photos up close of the awesome GT3-R in such a perfect setting... OMG what a car.  8) 8) 8)

Being back with old friends at a great event inspired me to join SoCal Viper again  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks to every one who made this event possible. Dennis Linn, Mike Bell and Motor Village held an impecable event. I sent a PM to someone I know looking for a red, black and red ACR that was in the Viper pit!

Lance you did a great job with the weather... Maybe its time ABC7 brings you on board... You might have found a new calling...  ;) ;) ;)

WOW!  What a great day for SRT and Motor Village LA!  The facilities at Motor Village LA were superb and showed a lot of hard work.  The GTS-R on the SRT Floor was awesome.

It was a pleasure to see so many attend and so many familiar faces.

Lance once again was a gracious leader.

Mike Bell and Dennis Lin reminded me that we do not have to look out of state for our next SRT or other vehicle.

Thanks again to all!

sincerely,

Ted and Miroslava Purcell
