Sad news for all car nuts. 

Dalton's Roadhouse in San Marcos has closed due to the poor economy.  Marty and his crew were great supporters of our hobby and hosted a great car show on the first Sunday of each month as well as supporting other shows in the area with donations, trophies and food.  A lot of you have trophies and other memorabilia from fun afternoons spent at Dalton's.  We will all miss the great food and wonderful people who worked at Dalton's.

Welcome to our Web site!

Fall Mountain Run #29

FREE

No registration, just show up.

November 4, 2012

We will depart from

The Money Pit 1360 East Mission, San Marcos at 9:00 AM so be there in time to meet with old friends and new for a great day.  Come hungry and join us for a no host breakfast.  Great food, huge portions and low prices at this great car themed restaurant.

We plan to do the 2011 Fall Mountain Run just like we did in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.  There is no charge to participate, it is open to anyone who would like to drive their car or truck on a scenic road trip from San Marcos to Julian.  When you get to Julian you are on your own, have lunch in one of the historic restaurants, grab some pie at Mom's, tour the old gold mine, ride one of the horse drawn carriages, visit the many specialty shops and check out all the cool cars parked all over town.  Don't forget to stop at Dudley's on the way up the mountain and get some of their great bread and visit their gift shop.

Stolen Classic Cars

 

Dear Webmaster, I need your help! My name is Ren Neville and my 1972 Pontiac Ventura was stolen out of my garage on 12-21-11 in the early AM. I would appreciate your sending this post to your membership and anyone else that you think might help should one spot the car or a similarity. I live in a gated community with hourly patrols. The thieves somehow gained entrance through the owner activated gates and avoided the patrols. Behind my Ventura in the driveway was my El Camino. The thieves broke the steering column, broke the glove box, gained access to my garage opener, pushed the El Camino into the street then removed the Ventura from the garage. I doubt very seriously that the subject car is in my area now so if you see any resemblance I'd appreciate your advising me either by phone or by email: renneville@sbcglobal.net

 

I need your help as I doubt very seriously that my car is still in the East Bay, Brentwood area. The following information is furnished for your consideration. Brentwood CA. Police report is number 11005247. Responding officer is Aaron Peachman #478. Non emergency Police telephone number in Brentwood is 925-778-2441. California car license plate number if not changed is 5YOR757.

 

My telephone number 925-392-8536. If you spot any “Huggin Orange” Pontiac Ventura's or a Ventura that you suspect might have been altered, or know of one being altered, or notice one being advertised in your local paper, I'd appreciate your cooperation. I would ask that you to try and identify any distinguishing features and call me directly or snap a few photo's with your Cell phone and forward them to me for identification. If spotted, you might call your local Police Department and report your findings and ask them to contact the Brentwood (Contra Costa County) Police Department. Again, I should be able to identify the auto even with altered plates and or different paint etc.

 

In the spirit of cooperation and being a former Car Club member, I hope I can impress the fact that in today's world, one can never take things for granite or feel safe and secure as I did in my “protected” community.

 

I am attaching a single photo but have other views available which I would be more than happy to send upon request along with your email address.

 

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated, and I thank you in advance for your cooperation.
