Nice. These are some amazing pictures. I drive through here all the time.

What's going on?
 

Book Progress Update;
New Mulholland Book is taking shape, only photos and a few more interviews are needed.

Corvair Pickup Truck is almost ready to sell and will finance various important aspects of creating a book like the cover shot, getting rights to photos, formatting, copyrighting and Library of Congress Registration.

Also some money will be set aside because I'm planning on having a famous automotive author write a forward for this new book. A nice surprise. ;)

Here's a recent shot and a half of the Truck with it's incredible air-cooled flat six made by Chevrolet. (If you think your 911 leaks or smokes...LOL)
And check out the fan belt doing the Watusi: up and over and thru the woods.

Total 911
 

A few weeks ago I was contacted by a Gentleman representing a car magazine that said that they were coming to Los Angeles to get some photos and stories of interesting 911s. He expressed interest in a certain Mulholland Porsche.

We arranged a time to meet after speaking several times and yesterday I spent the day with Total 911 Magazine doing photoshoots in various locations and talking Mulholland related information. It was good to get out on a nice day, put fresh fuel in, and go for a short blast.

We changed from Whale Tail to deck lid for photo ops.
Here are some photos that I took during the day.

I like it.:)

The new King of the Hill?

CAR FEATURE>> CANYON CARVING KING - Speedhunters

Looks very cool. There is nothing like new technology. I wanna ride shotgun up the snake.;)

I have not read all of this fabulous thread. But I have read a bunch. I was waiting in line at an Estate Sale a few months ago and a fellow there said how he used to have a speedster. A 57 I think. Later in the conversation he commented how he stuffed a 911 motor into it to fly around Mulholland. Pretty normal guy. Lives in Battleground Washington area. I forgot his name.

The question: Is he in here? Any pics of the car? Driver?

Thanks,
Larry

Maybe? But he's on the wrong hill!

Is this article serious!!!! "Chuckle"

What do you mean is it serious? I've seen him around for years up there. You can smell the race gas and hear the turbos. The car is beastly.

Here's his youtube channel:

There is No Substitute!
 

Very cool, and hat's off to it's creator/fabricator for some awesome work.

Still, the old phrase, "PORSCHE, there is No Substitute" holds true.

We alll know that here in Pelican.

I hope he drives between Coldwater and Benedict, my favorite place to be in the groove. ;)

Yea.. I've got to hear how fast and great he is for a while now......;)

Mul claims another....
Found this on another site.
Mulholland Snake, another victim. ISF

Whoa! I guess that happened during the week. I never heard about that one.

Well I am sure Banning is a better driver, and the Lotus' tranny will grenade at the track, but it still is the craziest car I have seen up there. And Banning doesn't do the whole street racing thing anymore.

I guess the McLarens and Atom V8s would be competition for the Lotus.

Thank you Max, and good comments.

I'm probably still here with you all (and the Carrera is still with us) because it seemed from the start that keeping an extremely low-profile approach, no pun intended, was important for survival.

If any one person/car in a specific area makes repeated excessive noise, trouble, accidents, or complaints, etc, they will become a target for Law Enforcement as they probably should be. No one wants to share a busy road with maniacs. That should be reserved for a lonely road. ;)

It's gotten so crowded locally that out in more remote areas of Mulholland Hwy or Mul late at night when the road is all to yourself is a better idea than risking other's lives when many cars are present. In my opinion.

Here's some more info about it:

You should do something similar for the Carrera. :)
