Aug 29 Ortega Highway Run Pics

What a beautiful morning run up Ortega Hwy. No traffic, no cops, no spins. Great group of guys. Everyone was on time for our 6:30 AM departure from Starbucks.

Early morning heading into the sunrise. I was holding up the guys in the twisties, but since no one was crazy enough to lead the group, the guy with the passenger got stuck with the job:




Pretty Porsches all in a row:




Look what showed up!




Big Rubber Jeep's beautiful black Turbo-look:




After breakfast, we came out and discovered that the bikes had taken over the place:




Our Grid Girl, Lilli:




How many Targas does it take to jump a dead battery:




From left to right:
JP911, Big Rubber Jeep, Carrera3.5L, 84Porsche, 1973911s, Motion, Lilli

Great time, great ride, great people, only one little oh Sh%t for me.

The guy driving the 997 claimed to be the art director for Road and Track.

Yeah, it was alot of fun. The run back was a little slower due to traffic, but the run up was at a pretty good clip.

I kinda feel bad for the guy whose bike was laid down just past the Lookout. Did he crash or did the tow-truck driver knock it over trying to get it on the flat bed?

Other than the battery issue, no one broke down so that's always a plus!

Ralph

P.S. - We should make this a monthly thing, kinda like the PCA OCR has their breakfast the first Saturday of every month.

I had a great time as well (aside from my battery and electrical system playing their usual tricks) and it was great to meet some fellow Pelicans. The early morning start was perfect, plenty of weekend daytime left to continue try to resolve my electrical issues. Thanks for posting the pics Motion. I'd be up for a monthly run.

Definitely a blast. I must add to Motion's beautiful collection of pictures.

The view from the top.


The ladies.


The mysterious 997.


Interior 997


My targa top and Motion in the back.


The breakfast - I don't think the waiter wanted to be in our picture.


It was great to meet you guys. Monthly drive, you mean we have to wait that long. Count me in.

George and Michael,

I tried PM'ing both of you with respect to you know what. Both of your message boxes are apparently full and need to be emptied before my message can get through. Anyway, my buddy said $105 cash and he has them available for you. Let me know.

Thanks,

Ralph

Motion, You're my new hero. Not only are you my neighbor that I have never met, but you're dating a full fledged haaaaaaaaaaaa-tie!

Life is good!

Nice Ralph! You know, with a few butterfly stickers in all the right places you too could turn heads.
