I so want to go so bad but I am a little far away for a trip to the top of LA. I hope to do this sometime. I have been wanting to travel that road for quite awhile in my 928 or motorcycle.

Have a great time.

An alignment clinic - WOW - NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ride from the LCF end takes us about 30 miles or so towards Wrightwood on Hwy 2. We turn and come back west. You can continue to Wrightwood and a bit beyond to pick up I-15 south to home. The road through the Angeles National Forest mountains is normally very nice in a 928. I am looking closely at weather; the road does go past a few ski areas. Maybe the 80+ temps today down here in the valley will drift up the hills a bit.


**Mini** alignment clinic. I've added a couple more tools so we can do precision caster adjustments now, so full alignments are possible. You MUST have your ride height set where you want it BEFORE the car rolls in for alignment check/adjust following the drive. I have no trouble making the height adjustments, but it's an iterative process that includes drive time between adjustments. If your car has sagged a lot (below 160mm or so in front), bring both front adjusters up the same number of turns to try and recover some of the lost height, let the car 'normalize' itself during the drive.

If someone needs/wants pre-drive attention, PM me some info and I'll try to make arrangements. I'm in Glendale, NW and above the junction of the 134 and 2 freeways.

I saw this run on the 996 board, but unfortunately, I will be in Palm Springs from Friday to Sunday. Don't forget Supercar Sunday on February 26th the day after your run, a great time is always had by all. Have fun you guys and most important be safe

Just had breakfast with a few Pcar owners. Added at least one to the tour roster. Should be lots of fun!

Must be nice living in an area where there are so many owners....I hope after I move to Las Vegas I can make some of these.

Had a great drive today. Four sharks showed up. An S4, a couple of '84s, and a beautiful silver early Euro with pasha that was in pretty nice shape. Before you tell me it wasn't a Euro, the side markers had been filled in and it had been federalized.

We were in very good company. Seven 911s showed up. A Carrera Cab, a Carrera, a Carrera S, a Turbo, a Turbo S, a GT3, and a GT3RS...

We had a "spirited" drive up and down the hill. Not much traffic at all... Definitely got to blow out any residual cobwebs on my '84... The old girl really ran great!

Thank you to everyone who could make it. Better photos to follow... Please excuse the large format.

Looks like a good time was had by all! I've been driving more or less since 8:30 AM. In my minivan...
