Good morning!

I hope you've been well!

First, thanks for all the feedback on our possible Field Trip To

BMW Performance Center in Thermal

.  

iDriveSoCal readers have spoken and now it's just a matter of working out dates with the venue.  If you haven't added your thoughts the survey is still open

HERE

.

Lots of cool car events this weekend - all linked below.  Unfortunately, the Dr. George Charity Show was

canceled due to COVID restrictions

.

However, 

San Juan Capistrano's Annual Car Show

is happening! 

And the

Cars And Coffee in Ojai

 is on.  I went last month.  Great cars - but the drive up PCH from LA was breathtaking! 

Early morning, the coast is gorgeous.  Roads are empty.  And getting into Ojai is a nearly as beautiful drive.

Keep on truckin',
