Thanks Peter, i'll stop in next time I get the itch to drive out there.

@Lucarl, that looks like a fun group of cars to drive with.


This morning I made my way up to Lake Arrowhead. Busy weekend of course, but i got in early and managed to leave before traffic got bad heading home. My first time up there and I was impressed. I managed to get a bit off track and ended up in residential communities and back mountains. Which was great. Tried to get to the Peninsula at the lake only to be thwarted by a private community gate! :!: :arrow: ohh well.

At the gas station one of the customers mentioned to me he saw another roadster, a 2000 around the area. A 311s member?

I took the roadster on its longest voyage yet this weekend. From Santa Cruz to the Blackhawk cars&coffee in Danville then up to Concord to get setup with Dave Primo's latest Solex tune, Thanks Dave! Ended up bing around 180 miles with complete reliability so I'm really planning on Solvang this year!

5:30am start

This is defiantly a C&C worth going to!

Removed the roll bar and seat.. Since it's a street car again, went for a cruise around the neighborhood.. Love graffiti for backdrops.

Drove into town and back. About 30 mile round trip. 50 degrees outside with wind blowing 25mph. Top down (only way to go, right Ted) grinnin' ear to ear. Loving the sr20 power!

Have to agree. Love that green.

Speaking of great colored roadsters. I was driving along and out pops up a blue roadster. Pulled over and had a nice chat. SR20 powered low windshield with sweet badges. I'm sure many of you will recognize this car :wink:

Day before that, I made it out to Redondo Beach.
