Marc, That is a very nice looking car! I did not get to look inside today, but the exterior looked like it has been very well maintained. Drive it in good health! or, you can drive it like you just stole it!

Dave

i think i'll drive it like derek stole it!

Chris, Radu, what did you think about that little short cut at Coldwater South? Skirting the stop sign..

Radu, sorry for today, next time I'll step on it.

Kevin, your exhaust sounds very nice.

Yea, but it entices me to drive it like Derek stole it

Man, you guys all act like I'm a freakin' car thief!
I just borrowed it for a bit.
Power corrupts.

Hi all...
 

I had a great time yesterday getting to meet you and push the car a bit. Any chance that anyone is interested in opening up the choice of venues...further west on Mulholland and the canyons, Angeles Crest? Let me know!

Marcus
911 relay guy

i'm in for angeles crest early am run and/or longer run.

well to be fair derek DID spend the first few minutes opening the car, setting off the alarm, turning on the wipers, stalling the car and finally getting a move on...

he also did get to endure my retro music selection...

Oh, we must be talking about a differant Derek. the one I saw stalled it twice. Angeles Crest would be coolio. I'm not sure where it is but I've heard it's great.

Re: Hi all...
 

Hey, Marcus, welcome to the dark side. ;) Good to see you here on Pelican. 36 posts is far too few, man.

There are lots of venues for some variety. Big Bear has been discussed recently on its own thread (well, I guess the Palomar thread). Big Tajunga is a great run. The R Gruppe just did that one on Thurs. And, I can always recommend Glendora Ridge Road (Google maps).

Ok ok...

My knee hit the wiper switch.
I put it in reverse, but killed it because it was actually 6th.
I was also busy turning off the radio, the ac, and trying to find the damn Sport suspension button.
The alarm... don't have one myself. My bad.

Marc, when you drive my car, you'll understand my "oh my god, how many freakin' dials and buttons can you fit in here!" reaction.

i only ever run it really early in the morning (like 7am) on sundays. watch out for sportbikes & suv's crossing the double yellow. lots of law enforcement too, especially on the climb to angeles forest hwy. i never speed on that stretch. at the top the speed limit climbs to 50 (or is it 55?), which allows some fun to be had.

sorry, it's just way too easy!

glad you enjoyed it. this group would be the only ones i would trust with my car.

seriously, i was joking when i asked if i could drive it.;)
you said yes, and i was all "woohoo" and shiite.

did i get your seats back to the right positions?

yup. got this newfangled thing called memory seats!
actually that's the one thing that used to bug me for the FEW times i had to valet and numerous times i had to take the boxster in for service.

haha
i gots me some o' them electrified windows.

nice!

9 & 3, jim. 9 & 3. :p

I know, I know. Dave already yelled at me.

Great footage and great sounds Jim!
Nice work.

Wow, quiet around here. Everyone planning on being with their moms tomorrow? Guess I'll have the road all to myself.

we're thinking of bringing both p-cars tomorrow. :)

I have friends in town. If they want to drive my other car, we will be there.

I wish I could make out with you guys. Mothers day duties. Next time I guessSmileWavy

I've got to spend time with the mother also. Best do it while she is still with us. Have fun guys and post pics.

I'm bring the 928 so someone better be there and say nice things

Heh, got to have a little fun on the way home. There was a 996 on Ventura that wanted to have a little fun and the guy wasn't young. Looked to be in his 50's. Had a good time and the drive was very civil - well almost ;)

Dave

I must say, today was quite enjoyable. Some fun here and there without terrorizing the natives. ;)

Today was fun. Chris's wifey wife is the coolest

And she handled hubby's Cayman S with authority.
So where are the pics, Chris?

Yeah, a big thumbs up for Chris's wife - even if she did not follow me at that one - uh, turn, she thought about it. Pretty soon, she'll be up front leading!

Dave
