The TLCA website site shows this event taking place elsewhere in Torrance. Which is the correct address? http://www.tlca.org/ Last edited by JLH911; 10-26-07 at 11:36 PM. |

nice pics. my dad also liked the 200 (he's not a cruiser guy, so maybe this will turn him, btw, you can see him checking it out in one of your early pics, he's wearing a red shirt).
did anyone ever figure out what the mgs were doing there? __________________ seven cruisers and 3 of em run and four are for sale |

Great pictures!
Beautiful vehicles. Is that museum open to regular schmoes just driving by and whom want to stop in? __________________ 1997 FZJ80 with and without lots of stuff. 2001 Honda Accord 3.0L V6 VTEC Coupe EX. __________________________________________ Originally Posted by cruiserdan in response to Hilux: "Unlike you, Mel Gibson is a bad dude.

Actually, it is open to the public but you have to call and make an appointment. It's worth it, trust me! I'll post some pics up soon of some of the beautiful vehicles they had in there. |

Wow. It looks like I missed a bunch of folks and rigs. When I went into the museum, only a few rigs were in the lot. When I came out, there were a few more, but the lot was not full. I should've come outside earlier!!
I missed a great opportunity to meet a bunch of you.  BTW: What was the deal with the MG's / Triumph's. |

Not prepared myself for SnT. Forgot to pull the second row seats out Sunday afternoon to put in the storage drawer. Wednesday evening is going to be busy as Thursday and Friday will be working late to close the books and I have Red Cross tonight so no heavy lifting after I get home! __________________ Brent '94 White LC; Kaymar Rear Bumper w/tire carrier; Hanna Sliders; ARB winch ready Front Bumper; Slee Transfer Case Skid Plate; Revo 285's, OME 850/863 Heavy 2" lift, INTI Rack; Warn M12000 Winch, Snorkel; Sputnik!

We shoulda invited the Toyota people to SNT, as there's gonna be a WAY BIGGER turnout of Toys there than made the 50th. Still, it was good to see some faces there I hadn't seen for a LONG time, like Ed Bailey from So Cal.
The peanut gallery had some good fun during the 200 presentation. Just ask Biscuit.
