That's why I'm taking a rental Ford Fusion. ;)

Update
 
Hey guys. I took a drive through a bunch of the roads including Piuma, Sheuren, Stunt and Mulholland (the snake) and the roads actually look very good. Or at least the same as other cruises we have done in the past, so I believe we are able to have a cruise tomorrow AM.

Now, it will be the usual time of 7am in the parking lot of the Malibu Country Mart (3900 Cross Creek Rd, Malibu CA). Please remember that we are LEAVING at 7am so try to get there before that time. I am also working on the route but we can change anything if need be that morning.


I took a Mini Cooper up the canyons and it was a surprisingly fun drive, even though the car's limits were pretty low. It was really nice to drive a car that I don't really care about since I wasn't always worrying about the car like I do with the Z haha. Anyways, some pictures to get everyone pumped for tomorrow:

Great run guys! I had a lot of fun so thanks to tradervic, Triple's and Threeseventy for coming. :)


I'm still processing the Gopro footage and the pictures, but here is a nice little acceleration of Vic's 997 Turbo S:

And Vic beat the hell out of a Golf GTI, that guy took forever to move over. I also could smell his brakes half a mile down the road.

September 2011 Malibu Cruise
 
We had a great run today through the Malibu Canyon roads, with little to no traffic and decent road conditions. While there was a fair amount of debris on the road, more than I saw when I did the scouting run, it was a lot of fun and we got some solid driving in.

Thanks to everyone who came, having a small group is nice. We will definitely be doing it again soon!


Anyways, onto pictures and videos. I didn't take as many as I usually do and my GoPro's memory got prematurely filled since I forgot to delete some old videos.


This first picture is one I took on the way to the meeting point at 6am. Absolutely beautiful.

These are the two videos, however the first has much more driving action since my GoPro stopped taking footage right before the Snake. Also, watch for the Sheriff on the left at 1:53.
