Finally got to Crystal Cove for the car show this morning. The overall big shopping mall is open for anyone to come and go. There is a big center lot, however, that is separated off by traffic cones, and its inside those cones that the "official" car show occurs.
Many cars arrive before 7:00 am! At 7:00 the show begins. Then the security guards close off the center lot when it gets full. They said that they might close it anytime between 7 and 7:30. Cars are free to go out, but they can't get in. Then at about 8:45 they remove the cones again, most of the crowd thins out, and most of the cars leave.
The neat thing is that outside the center lot, in the main shopping area, its still FULL of Ferraris and Masers and supercars, only they are in just regular parking spaces. The main shopping area was, however VERY full at 8:00 and there were no groups of spaces open.
It was a really fun show!
There is no restriction on who goes. Classic Mustangs, BMWs, crazy kit cars, anything goes. Pics attached.
If we want to meet up there, we have to go before 7 or after 8:45. I think it would be fine to show up at 9:00 or so, we would still join many remaining cars, and we would have a big group of open spaces to park in. We could also meet at the Laguna Beach Ruby's at 8:30 and all drive in together. What do ya say?
