ATTN: All Southern California. Rules for the Official Nissan/Datsun/Infiniti Peterson Museum Caravan are as follows... First off, PLEASE make sure to TOP OFF YOUR GAS before coming... it's going to be a lot of driving. Time to buy breakfast will also be available along the way. *note: several of the stops have fast food nearby*

Itinerary: -Meet at the Oceanside Harbor south parking lot at 6:15a -Leave at approx. 6:30a -Meet at the Irvine Spectrum south lot at approx. 7:15a-Leave at approx. 7:30a -Meet at Chik-fil-a at the Cerritos Mall at approx. 8:00a -Leave at approx. 8:15a -Meet at Fry’s Electronics in the City of Industry at approx. 8:45a -Leave at approx. 9:00a -Arrive at the Peterson Auto Museum in Los Angeles at approx. 9:30p

Simple rules, -Drive convoy style, taking up only one lane, unless passing for photos, videos, slow drivers, etc. -No excessive speeding. (5-10mph faster than group) If you get pulled over for racing/showing off, no one's stopping for you. -Parking lights must be on while with the group to identify you as such. -No racing/erratic lane changes (again one lane unless passing, as stated above) -Radios and cell phones are encouraged, as well as cameras and camcorders, however... please use them in a safe manner. Preferably used by a passenger. (Radio channel will be announced at each meet location and will depend on frequency traffic) -and last but not least lets make it a fun run. Drive courteously, let others in, and don't cut people off. We want the Nissan community to have the respect of others on the road. Let’s not gain the reputation of other communities. *cough*Honda*cough*

Thanks, a few things to clarify meet locations for those that are unfamiliar with the areas...

Oceanside Meet Location. This is the parking lot between the Oceanside Harbor and Riverside drive... We'll meet closest to Riverside Dr. (away from the ocean)

Irvine Meet Location. This is at the Irvine Spectrum in their south lot, closest to target. Again, we'll meet away from where everyone else usually parks. (away from businesses)

Cerritos Meet Location. This is at the Cerritos Mall by Chick-Fil-A. We've been filling up the street front parking spaces the last few times, but if this run is any where near as big as I feel it's going to be, We'll have to use most of thier lot. Now I'd like to try and keep everyone from taking all of their spaces, just out of courtesy. If need be, we can park on the other side of the driveway. (north side)

City of Industry Meet Location. This is at the Fry's Electronics. Again we will park away from the store front, along the 'back wall' of spaces. Last time we had people parking along the isles, and it was a bit of a pain to get everyone in and even more, out.

The general rule for parking, is keep it in one row, and back in if possible. This makes it easier to keep everyone together as we leave. Don't go racing off to find another spot to park. we'll be at each spot for approx. 15mins. or more, so sitting in line for an extra 2mins. to park isn't going to kill you. I'll be leading the pack, so just follow me, and I'll be directing people in, where to park. Again, I can't stress this enough... Let's be courteous towards the business owners we may be inconveniencing. No revving, loud music, burnouts, ,etc. the Po-Po is probably going to be watching as it is. Lets not give them any ammunition.
