I saw the caravan roll by as I was making Mother's Day calls to my Mom and sister back East - nice group!

Looked like you picked up a light blue MG on the return trip.

Ahh, so you were the one at the side of the road - on the cell phone. Jeez, we passed you going west and you were on the phone. 40 minutes later we pass going the other way and you're still on the phone!

You should join us next time!

Heh, hey I've only got one Mom and one sister and they get all the time they need (as much as I hate talking on the phone).

I kind of met you at the Thanksgiving Day run and I'll be there for Big Bear, but I'll join in one of these Sundays.

I was hoping that I could get some shots of the crew arriving, but, even though I had a jump on the rest, I was slowed at the end by traffic. I was able to get the 928S and the Cayman.

i'll try to grab the pics from my camera after work tonight.

marisa shocked me yesterday by announcing that she wanted to autocross my cayman! i'd been trying to get her to autox for a couple of years and gave up asking. we'll see what wins when i ask her to choose between tires and shoes.

May 27th is coming up at El Toro.

I may even have the 993 (same class as the Cayman) since the 911 is dead after Streets of Willow.

Did you read the fine print? It's only good for a year.

On that note, Happy Belated Birthday Chris!

The '69 developed:
1. Severe gear whine in trans. I need to take it apart before it takes itself apart. I think it's got a little over 200K miles on it so its due.

2. The engine started smoking moderately under decel. Seems like valve guides but they should be okay. Maybe a guide seal let go or something? Not too worried about this.

I don't have enough rubber on the 993 for both of us(not even sure I want to run it), but you are definitely encouraged to come out and drive the 911. Should be back together for the June event.

Sorry for the thread drift...

David

You guys really need to branch out. I just got back from Decker Canyon which made Mulholland look like Ventura Blvd. There are alot of better roads up the coast of PCH that are pretty free of traffic. How about organizing a run thru one of the canyon roads and seafood at "Neptunes Net"on Sunday?

Yeah, honestly...Mullholands crap compared to Calabasas roads, Decker, Piuma, Little Tujunga is a God road compared to Mull, plus mullholland's pavement is about as smooth as howard stern's ass. Plus, the starbucks on Ventura and Vineland is way too crowded on sunday for a car show. Ive only been once to your run and I couldnt even park my car close to anyone.

Ok, seriously... it seems some people are missing the point about Mulholland.

We all do the canyons.
We go to the track.
We autocross.
This isn't the only road we run.
Car shows are for rich guys.

It's MY road and that's why I love it. I know every turn, every bump, every lump, every patch, every slo-mo ass in front of me, and where to pass... when to pass... when not to pass... when to go fast, when to chill, when to be on the look-out. I know by the people around me who is smart, who is fast, who is risky, who is too risky, who is along for the ride, and who I can trust. It's like clay. I can make it whatever I want.

And really, the people I've met doing this thing have become my friends. Sorry if I have taken comments too personally, but if you don't dig it, nobody is forcing you to do it.

p.s. thinkfloyd14, Sabbath ****** rules.

The reason I commented was because I was trying to get you guys to come to my side of town and do a run with me so I dont have to go alone all the time. Not that there is anything wrong with that but it nice to run with a bunch of cars. Also I have been driving Mulholland for years as my brother lives on Woodrow Wilson. Its a great road but too much traffic for ME.

Sorry you missed my point.
