Spyerx in his new toy, my buddy/client (I let him drive my .2GT3), and I went for a little drive this morning on Ortega Hwy. Here's a picture...

Safe to assume that 4.0 is you're Martin? A friend had one a couple of years ago and it was simply awesome. Congrats (on driving it)!

Yeah, that's my triple black Darth Vader 4.0. Definitely a step above the 3.8RS in many ways, so fun to drive! I need a private track day to track it...might have to hit up CJ to set one up for the fall/winter.

In all honesty it was refreshing to see the pics of the cars, food, scenery, roads... thanks for sharing
resale? the more patina the more value it is.
some ppl must learn it the hard way.

Man that car just looks and sounds SO good going down the road. Just looks EVIL.

Mooty we have to do Ortega next time you're here, it may be one of the best runs assuming off hours, the traffic can be brutal.

Yeah. Big Tujunga for sure several times off ACH. But I don't know if I've ever done Little, if so only 1x. Here's the thing on Ortega. A few years ago they widened and smoothed out the road all the way to the OC/Riverside county lines. It's like a freakin' race track now. Like the pavement and flow is like the downhill section on the back side of Thunderhill, but for 20 miles. And the flow is REALLY good. Then you hit the riverside county line and it tightens up but is still really great. Its kinda like ACH in some respects. Which is awesome too. Most of the Malibu roads outside the major 101-PCH routes are much tighter, Mulholland Hwy being the exception. They are fun, just different.

Little T is fun, but short and doesn't really go anywhere...so you have to either get on a freeway or double back...but that also makes it less attractive to cops and cyclists, which is nice. It's only a few minutes off the 405; it's my go-to when I don't want to trek to Malibu but want a quick canyon run fix.
