Well we ended up celebrating the New Year's into the early AM... I finally got home and in bed at 3am... With the hope of getting up at 6am to make the TRE annual Malibu run. Well it did not go down as I had planned. I got up at 7:36 debating going... after a pep talk... I sprung out of bed hit the shower, did not shave, through on some Car driving clothes and shoes and hit the road.

A. Camera was Dead! UGGG I go to these thing to Drive and take pictures oh well there is always next year...
B. No Coffee.... Hard to function without power!
C. 1/4 Tank and I forgot to fill up when I got to TRE

Luckily there was NO ONE on the road. It was eerie the 405 was a ghost town... so I Jetted up the FWY from OC to LA... Made it in record time. less then an hour.

I got to the event and was greeted by my Buddy Bob AKA Flash. We had about 5 mins of conversation and it was time for a group photo and debrief. Next thing you know 100+ Sports cars were off... Minis,911s of all years, Ferraris, Vettes, etc. oh and even a Lambo Murci.

It was a blast running through the streets of LA at arresting speeds. A. Hardly any cars out B. All the Cops were busy minding the Rose bowl today so it was a great day to break some laws!

We had a pit stop on PCH were everyone had a chance to and talk shop. after 30 min or so everyone hopped back in the cars for 2 good rounds of twisties. I can't tell you how much fun I had it was a blast! I purposley pulled behind a 04 GT3 man that car can move. Very impressive. Fun to play catch me if you can though.

After some hard driving everyone met at a camp site in the Malibu Mountain area where we had another chance to talk about the days events. I also had a chance to meet TurboRon who had a sweet Midnight Blue Turbo!


I almost forgot... An older 911 Targa with a CRAZY body kit took a ride off a small cliff! There will be pictures posted soon at Pelican's board. I will post them when they are up. It was NUTS! I believe no one was hurt.

It was a great day filled with hours of smiles. It was fun watching pedestrians especially kids see a hundred Sports cars zooming through the streets.

I hope more 6Speeder's will make it next year!

 

Yes, it was a fun run. It was nice to meet you Eric. The turbo is Lapis Blue. It was an amazing turnout. Have a happy, healthy, and safe New Year to everyone.

 

Sorry about that Ron my opps it was Lapis Blue.

It's a risk you run... I had such a good time. It makes you apreciate the cars we drive.

 

Excellent pictures and story guys, thanks for sharing. I'm sorry for the driver of the yellow pcar. I sure wish we could have a large event like that here in central Texas sometime...
