For those of you who missed our last event, here's a wonderful opportunity to tour the museum on a weekend! (they are normally closed on weekends)

OPEN HOUSE EVENT -- SATURDAY, AUGUST 15TH @ 10AM

Marconi Automotive Museum
1302 Industrial Drive
Tustin, CA 92780
(Google Maps)

I'll be there!

Who's coming?

Lot of us Loti will be at Cal Speedway this weekend...
I recommend the museum, however, for those who have not visited it yet. Interesting collection and Mr. Macroni had interesting racing stories to match. Thanks Patrick!

You don't pick weekends very well. Several people will be at Cal speedway and others will be in Monterey. Coincidentally, I might not be at either so maybe I will make it since I missed out on last Friday due to work.

This one, I didn't pick the date. It's the museum's annual open-house event, and only time it is open on weekends (other than private events).

Hope you make it!

dude, I may be able to make this one!

I may go to Cal Spdwy on Sun....

agirls · 08-10-2009, 08:59 PM

Will the open house be "tour-less"? I need to go back sometime with Eric when Mr. Marconi can retell his stories!

It would be awesome to meet Eric! This time, I believe the "real" Mr. Marconi, Dick Marconi (John's dad) will be there!

Cool, I'll be entering form the side anyway, the front entrance is waaaaayyyy too steep.

Ah, a good point. Yes, it is very deep. I'll park near the side, behind the gas station area.

I'll probably be at the museum around 10:30AM. What's the parking like there? I'll be in the aspen white elise. Looking forward to meeting some more louts owners.

There should be more than plenty of parking spaces.
