[DeTomaso] Irvine Cars & Coffee Pantera day- March 5

[Stephen VamVaketis]

As a new board member of Team Pantera Orange County (POCA), my first  
duty is to get my Pantera in proper running condition. OK, I jest but  
am doing that. My second duty is to organize my first planned event. I  
obtained permission from Ford to hold a Pantera marque day on March 5  
at the famous Irvine Cars & Coffee. I imagine most who visit this  
thread know all about C&C. We will have the corral reserved for 40  
lucky Pantera owners. Weather permitting, March 5 is the perfect day.  
The following week daylight savings time is observed which makes the  
sun rise one hour later- not good for a car meet that gets going by  
6:30 am. I am providing my personal email address to keep a list of  
those who RSVP me to be one of the 40 who will get to be part of this  
historic group of Panteras. My email address is...  tropicaldreemz at gmail.com 
. I will respond to all with details on how we will fill the corral.

Now, I rarely see a Pantera on the roads of SoCal. The only place I  
regularly see a few Panteras is at C&C. It's the 40th anniversary of  
the Pantera ladies and gents. We have space for 40 cars. Yes, this is  
karma. Get your fixit list going on your awesome Panteras to get them  
in running order in time to participate. Also, we will be providing  
boxes to collect toys for our annual Toys-4-Tots charitable event in  
December. The general toy guideline is a toy valued at around $10 but  
no stuffed animals. Gentlemen and gentleladies, start your engines!
