New Crystal Cove Location
I pulled this off of Lambo-Power...very reliable sources has mentioned CC will be dead at it's current location in two weeks. but a newer larger location is avaliable.
ATTENTION ALL CRYSTAL COVE ATTENDEES
My father, Larry Kordower, General Manager of the Ten Restaurant Group (www.tenrestaurantgroup.com) has just announced that he be the new host for the Saturday morning Crystal Cove meetings. The Ten Restaurant group is located at 4647 MacArthur Boulevard Newport Beach, CA 92660. This location is perfect because it has a huge parking lot, and is located in an area with no residential restrictions (meaning no hassle from the police or anyone, it is in a business district). The parking lot is located two minutes away from John Wayne Airport, off the corner of MacArthur and Campus drive. Please send this out to as many people as you can. If anyone organizing the event has any questions, please feel free to call my father, Larry Kordower at (949)-290-9466 (cell). This will go into effect starting Saturday, October 21st at 7:00 A.M., and will be a weekly event with no ending time (stay as long as you want). Pass it on!
Thanks guys, and this is not spam. I am just trying to keep CC alive!
Keep it alive everyone! Dont let a good event go dead
P.S. Not my dad...

For those who have not heard, there is a permanent location that has been proposed for the relocation of the CC show. Most of the discussion has taken place on FerrariChat. If you go to the last Crystal Cove show this weekend, you can expect to find people handing out these flyers:
Here are some of the comments that have been made about this location:
These comments and photos come from Frank Fillipino (aka: frank4cars) a longtime Crystal Cove participant and photographer of the event who went out this past week with others to survey the PAG location:
Come out to the PAG location on the 21st and help build the show into more than it was at the old location.

Here are some of the comments that have been made about this location:
The Ford Motor Car Company Premier Automotive Group ("PAG") building --- North American home of Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo and Ford's Advanced Design Studio and centrally located in the middle of the Irvine Spectrum --- is available to host this Saturday morning event. They have a fabulous cafeteria that can be opened.
I am looking for input if this location can fill the void. It certainly is suitable. Ford owns and manages the property.
There are no noise constraints, lots of shade trees, no homes close, vintage transporters welcome, room for 400 cars!! Could have it from 7 a.m. until 10 a.m., with possibility of setting up earlier.
Location is intersection of Alton and Gateway, right on the 5 Freeway, one mile north of the El Toro Y where the 405 and 5 meet. Right by the Spectrum Center (go there after this event!).
Ford says it is a go (the Ford building is full of auto enthusiasts, many of whom attend Crystal Cove on Saturdays), if there is enough interest.

It is central to OC (and by extension, SD and LA), freeway close, hosted by a freaking, honest to god automobile manufacturer, access to their kitchen, room for tons of cars and includes the possibility (purely conjecture on my part though) that Ford could use this group to sneak peak new products. Being in an "industrial" area you wouldn't have the neighborhood looky-loos that some of you are worried about (kids and non-enthusiast spectators who don't respect the cars). Pretty much the only people to show there would be proud owners and fellow enthusiasts. What is not to like?
The meeting with Ford went very well and the facility is awesome. No speed bumps or curbs. Some rain drainage dips, but pretty shallow. Big show lot with a few smaller auxilliary lots for bikes or "special" cars. Another lot at the other end of the campus for spectators. Transporters will have room so race cars or museum pieces can be brought in. It's directly across Alton from the Spectrum in case the ladies get bored.
The cafeteria is incredible and prices quite reasonable. People might have to be retrained to clean up after themselves but it looks like a great spot. Only negative points are the obvious lack of an ocean, and the noise from the 5. We were there at one of the busiest times and it was pretty loud, but not so bad that you had to shout to be heard or anything.
My overall impression is that they are happy to provide a new home for those who like to congregate and see some cool cars. They want people to see this as a permanent location if it catches on, but if another alternative pops up in the future, the CC regulars who are behind this at PAG, will be happy to come wherever the show ends up.
Understanding that this isn't a retail facility and that they will be staffing the cafe out of pocket, they want to make sure it is something people really want. If the crowds don't seem to support it, it will dissolve. The only other concern is that volunteers will be needed to point people in the right direction for show cars vs. spectators.
Probably don't need to say that we need to be polite guests too. Similar rules as CC should work. No burnouts, reckless driving, vendors, for sale signs, dealer inventories, leftover trash, loud stereos, that sort of thing. And respect the times they agree to and just generally be aware that we will be at someone else's place. Don't do anything you wouldn't do in front of your house.
