Hugh since you are spending time in Oxnard you might enjoy checking out the Peter Mullen auto Museum there. I stopped in and really enjoyed it this last summer.
The collection if focused on French cars from the 20s and 30s. Mostly coach built masterpieces in the art deco style of the period. The place is only open to the public one Sat per month. Its a very specialized collection but some world class examples there.
We too are looking to hold onto the condo for long term and are hoping to attract a core group of return visitors to help cover the costs of owning the unit. The association fees were all over the map at the various complexes here. Ours at about 650 per month were lower mid range. What sort of fees seem the norm there?
A few pics. to spark the interest.
