Crystal Cove Yesterday

For those who aren't familiar, Crystal Cove is an area in Orange County, California, where $4M homes are the norm. Add to this setting a new shopping center with bakery and a Starbucks, and all of the nice cars spontaneously started coming down out of the hills about three years ago. What started as an unplanned, unscripted event has grown a little out of control acording to some of the locals in the area, and now it has one last Saturday before it gets shut down. But what a spectacle it is/was. So I gassed up the Targa and headed for the beach - my, what great freeways we have here in California when you can drive at 85 all the way in your old 911 - so long as the sun has not risen and it's a Saturday!

Once you hit PCH, you drive through the little seaside community of Corona Del Mar:



The old Port Theater






A couple of more miles down on your left just before Laguna Beach is the Crystal Cove Promenade:



As I pull into the parking lot, I know I'm in the right place as an Enzo Ferarri drives by me (befoe I could grab my camera) and then this trowback to the 60's:



The 57 sounded awesome with its headers and loaping cam - and what's great about the event is how a guy with a muscle car can share the stage with an Enzo - something I don't see very often in So Cal.

This was cool but didn't sound as good as the 57:
