Good! Every time I come through Sweeper I have to slow down for those parasites taking up both shoulders of the road. They used to be in the open spaces across from Grandstands, which was a lot safer for any traffic coming through. The cops must have made them move.

Yeah, good job, guys. Make the a-holes move INTO traffic instead of staying out of the way. :rolleyes:

Some of the track looks similar to sections of Mulholland.


This was sent to me by Larry O'Rourke. He used to live above the Sweeper in the late 70's and early 80's and would participate in Grandstands regularly.

Chris, this one is even more Mulholland-esque with the night footage and the cars are closer to what we're used to.

Cool video, thanks Jeremy. I had forgotten about the super-wide BMWs in Martini and Rossi like colors. It brings back memories from those times.

A bit more Porsche content to keep us on- topic.

Does that look like fun or what?

That Subaru is sure getting some traction in that snow. I wonder what kind of snow tires it has. ;)

Thanks for posting Radu.

KevinP73 01-31-2008 08:28 AM

Thanks Dave. I don't recognize the driver but I know the car. Pretty sweet ride.
Here's the latest progress of mine. The engine has been mated to the trans and as soon as the carbs are installed I can do an intial start up and begin fine tuning.
So many details, so little time.

WOW! This thread took me back a few years .. thanks all! I lived off Mulholland my whole life .. 84 on we were running up there hard .. 911's, 928's, GTI's, 2002's, Saab Turbos, 5.0 mustangs ... you name it I drove it there ... can't remember anyone ever taking me ... I used to race bicycles and it was also my training hill .. I knew every crack in the pavement from Laurel to Supulveda and all the feeder cyns ... fun stuff reading all your recollections ... thanks!

For all the bonzai fans, here is a blast from the past from the 1FASTMF seville. It had the aerodynamics of a barn door and the power to overcome it too. With the engine set back, you basically were sitting in the back seat. Scared the heck outta me when I got to go for a ride in it.

Picts are

1) 1981 - The Evil Seville left to right Dusty Hill, Kevin Ward, and Billy Gibbons.
2) Seville rear plate (pre 1FASTMF plate) with air accuated cylinder on right revealing aircraft landing light. Screw all that turning the lights OFF nonsense ... it is much harder for them to chase you if they can't SEE. SmileWavy

For those of us who were less active on the Mulholland scene would you mind sharing your real name?

Jeremy Cottrell 02-01-2008 07:12 AM

That's great!! Any more pics of the Caddy? Funny, I just saw Billy Gibbons at the roadster show last Sunday.

See what you missed out on Radu :)

Yes, more pix please -

Now for some of us that were not yet driving in the '80s, please explain.

I never made the ZZTop connection with the Seville as it was mentioned previously in this thread and I'm not about to go back and search 300 pages:eek:.

Is this the same Seville mentioned earlier? Was it originally built for one of these guys or is this just a random photo?
