Get any attention from Johnny Law? I'm paranoid about driving around with numbers on my doors...

Nice pictures Magnus. I really like your car.

Just drove from San Diego to Palm Desert earlier this week, in a rental car unfortunately. We took the route through the mountains (the 79 to the?). Man, I wish I was in my 911!

i left downtown LA at 6.30 am-
reached santa monica pier by 6.45 am-
left santa monica -hit the 10 fwy east by 7.am
reached palm springs by 8.40 am
left palm springs at 9.10 am
the only slow part was the trip to lake arrow head.
the 330 was closed so i had to make a detour out of the way
to get to the 18- i reached lake arrow head by 10.35.
i hit traffic on the way back down the hill & on the 210 west.
arrived back in downtown LA by 12.35 pm
Total time was just over 6 hrs including scenic photo opps,
2 gas/toilet stops-detour & traffic.
total miles approx 300.
speeding tickets-none.
memories-lifelong.
its all about the journey......

{planing my next trip to the salton sea in my 65-911..}
STAY TUNED FOR MORE EXCITMENT FROM THE OPEN ROAD.

morning gents,
all the cars are my favorites!
deciding which to drive depends on how quick i need to get there!
i have been driving my race car on Hoosires on the street & to and from the track for almost
10 years...

Very nice Magnus. Best car on the fleet.

I'm in southern France right now. Very inspiring roads here... Like I told you a while ago, it might be a neat idea to ship one of those babies to Europe and drive it in the Alps for a week or so over here.... (I'll come out to take pictures.... Haha!!)
