Hi guys, Brian (CAMRYMAN) and I have been talking about getting a group here from CNGCHAT of CNG enthusiasts together for lunch to chat and enjoy some good food on a Saturday. I have got a great spot and hope you guys/gals can make it out and please chime in. I have chosen the location below for two reasons. Food & The Auto Book Store
1st The food Portos Bakery.
Great for lunch, mid-morning snack, or to satisfy those medianoche munchies, Porto's house specialties are proven crowd pleasers. Choose from a variety of mouth-watering Latin American sandwiches, hot-from-the-oven meat pies, potato balls, ham croquettes, and more. Then treat yourself to one of Porto's famously sweet pastries.

And the nearby (walking distance about 80 yards auto book store.
2) Autobooks was founded in 1951 by Harry Morrow, a well known formula 500 racer and all around car guy. Today they are the oldest and largest automotive bookstore in the US and one of the best Aeronautical stores in the US. Autobooks is a must see destination on every true car nut's list. People come from all over the world to meet like minded folks and find the books, die cast and videos they dream of. JAY LENO also pops in on Saturdays from time to time.

If you wonder just how good the food is, just ask John Mitton I took him to the Glendale location for lunch a while back. He said the Impala was full of crumbs by the time he made it to the next show
The date needs to be set on a Saturday so the book store is open. Please chime in with suggestions and comments and vote for 1 or more dates you are willing to attend..
