Am planning on the Second Annual Gathering on 4-17-2009 and planning on showing the car in July and October of this year. Showing mainly because not a whole lot of people have ever seen the Phaeton. My dealer in San Diego services four of them and says there are 18 in Las Vegas. To confess, the First Annual Gathering was very sparsely attended but I had a good time. Thanks for writing. Best Wishes, Joe

Joe, I have out the 4-17-2009 event on my calendar and keep us posted on the showings later this year. Like you my dealer in San Juan Capistrano services around 11 of them so maybe we can connect all. Alan

I would love to attend the next event. I am in Ventura County and own a Black/Tan 2004. I have seen several around here. I even saw two within 1/2 an hour. After a bad day, I climb into the driver's seat ... pull out of the garage, turn up some Midge Ure's "The Gift" CD ... and suddenly ... Life Is Good. Please keep me informed of the next gathering.

4-17-09 (Chairman Piech's birthday) has rolled around quickly. I had a great year with my 2004 V-8 and look forward to seeing how other owners fared.
 
There seem to be quite a few Phaetons in south Orange Co. Also, I understand there is someone in Auto Trader specializing in them in south Orange.
 
I became aware of an interesting restaurant in Corona del Mar. Might be a good place to meet on the 17th (a Friday). Best Wishes, Joe Frazier

No April Fool's joke here. I am in for meeting in Corona del Mar on 4/17/09. My blue 2004 V8 and I will be ready.
 
Which restaurant Joe?
 
Thanks for getting this moving.

Alan, I am having a little difficulty with my e mails. I have been intrigued with a descrption I read about the Five Crown Restaurant in Corona del Mar. They have valet parking and I'm not sure we could get all of the cars together at one place in their lot. I may try to run up there one night this week. Comments? Joe

Joe,
 
The Five Crowns is a great place to eat and British of course.
I have eaten there and they have a private room which can hold around 10-14 people upstairs.
 
You are right about the limited parking. The lot next to it is shared with Bandera's I think is the name.
 
If we want parking spaces, the area around Coco's at Fashion Island works. Modest food but usually good parking.
 
If want to be trendy, Tommy Bahama's.
Or Ruby's as there lot is across the street from the resturant on PCH.
 
So, how many cars do we think might attend?
 
If we have ten to fourteen cars, we could use the circle at the Island Hotel.
The bar and food could make a more relaxed visit.
 
Let me know what you know.
Alan

Hi Alan, realistically, I think we should plan on a strategizing meeting this Friday, for next year's gathering. My internet has been down for carpet install the past few days so I might only be able to get one other car - and that's not for sure. I like all of your suggestions for venues. The Island would be nice to see - Palm Terrace Lounge - a beer and their small bites would be fine. I will post an ad here - hopefully others will pick up on it. Please let me know if this sounds OK. Best, Joe

Joe,
 
Sounds like a great plan and I will see you at the Island this Friday.
Let's hope the tax deadline crunch has kept people at bay.
See you soon, Joe.
Alan
