I had a great time today, thanks to everyone that came out, you all made it fun for me. Great seeing some familiar faces and meeting new ones. Unfortunately, I didn't make any of the pix posted, I was hanging back with Howard waiting for the gas run. Apologies to everyone that got stuck behind my smoke... oil change yesterday and too much oil=oops!!! Can't wait to see Max's Pix, I should atleast be in one of those.

ahh, so that's the explanation. Unfortunately I was on your tail during the first part of the drive. When you guys zigged on Mulholland I zagged on Encinal and got some fresh air ;)

Yeah I blew most of it out on the run, had to take 2 quarts out yesterday after the change. I tell ya a 3.6, 2 oil coolers and about 30 feet of oil line find weird ways of hiding oil in the system, add to the fact that it's a '72 which don't have the most accurate dipstick readings, make it easy to overfill.

I don't think that had a hand in my copilot feeling off (I did too). That was courtesy of Yerba Buena. I flogged it damn hard up to the summit, and that was enough to leave us both a bit green around the gills.

So class, today we learned:
Don't trust non stock fuel gauge sending units
Yerba Buena is Looooooooong
Tommy's is the place for breakfast with its outdoor seating area

And real friends 1] drive down the hill to buy a gas can, 2] keep you company while you wait, and 3] wait out in the middle of nowhere to take your picture.

Thanks Guys!

I could never agree more. I though I was lost on Yerba Buena. I think I missed a turnoff somewhere because we ended up taking Mulholland back to the 101 to meet you at Tommys. One more thing to add for Targa owners, remember to put your sunscreen on because I have sunburns that outline my sunglasses right about now.

Todd, what happened to you and Philip. I didn't see you guys at Tommys. Did you break after Neptune's Net?

My copilot was getting cranky sitting around, so Philip, Kevin and I headed out from Neptune's before Howard got there. Once we got to feeling green I cruised down and Howard caught up (when I was trying to figure if going on Westlake was the right way. Then Philip came back the other direction. I got to Tommys, but neither Calvin nor I was up to eating, so we headed onto the freeway and back home.

Yeah, maybe I should have mentioned just how tight and twisty Yerba Buena is. I've never taken it downhill -- which would be scary. It reaches the highest point in LA county, I'm pretty sure. Nice views.

It also changes its name right before it empties onto Mulholland. I think the change comes where it crosses from Ventura County back into Los Angeles County.

Sounds like I missed a fun run, unfortunately.

When's the next one? :cool:

Next weekend!!!! ;)

Awesome shots Max, you've got it wired.

Max,

Thanks for the awesome photos. I looked back twice when I saw someone with a camera then I heard from the guys that you were taking pix.

Chris

Max, Great pix, thanks for doing it, we all appreciate it. Did you happen to capture the red 360 and the Silver GT-3 that passed by?
Scott aka Mouse

YEAH!

I drove by you three times there MAx - made a wrong turn back onto Mulholland and when I passed you I knew I was going the wrong way.

All in all, I ran the route and showed up late - it was a blast and Yerba Bueane was a lot of fun - I don't know that I went very fast (don't like blind turns with bicyclists around) but it was fun.

I really need to finish polishing my wheels...

done !! ;)

I had a great time too. This was my first pelican meet and I had a blast and will gladly do this again. Oh yeah, got to love those pics. I'm still trying to figure out what she was pointing at. Too bad that happened when Max took the picture.

Look Honey a shoe store !! Can We stop? Can We? Please Can We stop?
Sorry BeauBlues Couldn't resist.
Do you know what you call a woman who lets you keep the Porsche and goes on the runs with you?

A KEEPER!!

Beau Blues- she probably spotted my car parked up on the ridge and was pointing at it. ( picture was taken on the straight away leading into the hairpin.)


here is another shot of your car, with everyones' hands where they belong.....i assume ;)

Cool thanks Max. Just a quick question, what kind of camera is that you are using?

Yahoo, what a great time. Scott, underfill and add next time instead of overfill and smoke ;)

Max, great pictures as always, thanks :)

Howard, it's got a half tank left in it ;) Bad sending unit, bad bad sending unit!

Fantastic!

Lots of the same folks are there every weekend, so just come out. Max now lives at the turn near the vista point 2 miles west of Rock Store. He should probably put up a sign and bucket. Can't seem to come up with a witty saying for sign.

But, the kids at the 914 club are putting something together this Saturday ending in Dana Point.

Ok Max, your photo skills are unquestionable.:) However, I am puzzled, how the heck did you take an "action" shot of your car? :D

no tripod and timer, trick photography, or Photoshop work Addison ! :)
photo credit for the pic of me driving my car goes to Stevarino.

here's his cab in action:
