@TheBruce: Epic car for an epic drive! Just picked one up that looks like yours, except with the 18" Carrera III wheels. Out of curiosity, what camera/lens/filter did you use? Love the pictures!

 

Pictures supplied for all of you who hate us Californians for the roads we have.

Wouldn't move if you paid me 8)

 

@wayne - how was the trip?

@Texan Engineer - congrats! I bought mine north of Dallas and had it shipped over. I'd highly recommend eibach springs if you have a base C2. It looks sooo much better. As for camera, just your average iPhone 7 with the vivid filter.

 

Thanks! That's funny, I bought my C2 from a chap in Dallas as well (home for me). Some good lowering springs are definitely on my short list of mods...otherwise it's pretty near perfect for your every day sports car.

iPhone huh? The wife made me ask haha - when I found this thread my first thoughts were how cool your car is, and hers were how nice the pictures are

 

Great trip. Just not long enough, per usual. Just under 1000 miles for two fairly short days. Up at 113 K miles now. A lot of this was in third and fourth at above 5 K rpm. Still runs like new. Can't say enough good about these 997s, the PDK, and the 9A1 8)

Found out that with proper heat and on proper pavement the MPSSs will squeal before they break free. I've slid them countless times but never got a squeal!!! So this was a first (for me). Maybe its the cleaner roads of Spring.

Several dead snakes waiting to be further flattened and an amazing array of suicidal rodents.

The heavily cropped picture (to reduce size so I can post it) is at my daughter's place.

 

@wayne - glad you had fun and sorry to hear those suicidal squirrels haven't learning their lesson yet. what was your favorite section?

interested to know your oil temps through the mountains.

 

See the oil temp thread you just started for temps.

What mountains? Out here in California is a lot like Kansas, right?!?!

 

Still in the LA area? Check out this map of roads I made: http://thebackrd.com

 

That rocks. PM me. I want to do something similar around SF.

 

I went with Joe and a couple of others guys from here in august of '16. Met wayne for a few moments. Great trip, northern route from Bay Area. Need another......mike

also met Helmut in Eureka, one of the trip highlights, david hooked us up with that meeting. Two days, thursday up, friday back. Bent my rim....mmmm, how???

 

Still sad I missed that trip, but had a tight schedule picking up Pam's new car in Stuttgart. You know ... First World problems.

 

Can we rinse, repeat? David set up the meet with Helmet. But hwy ___, woof.

Driving events? separate thread needed for a different (more road) type we do as opposed to "driving events" (auto-x, track, etc)

 

So glad I saw this thread. I'm temporarily living in Ventura County and took an afternoon drive on Hwy 33. Unfortunately I don't have my Pcar and did it in a Chrysler 300. This is an Epic road and probably one of the best I have ever driven. The 300 wasn't too bad but I didn't feel comfortable pushing it too hard with the soft suspension.

 

I dream of having roads like that here in Chicago to drive the cars on

 

I just drove same day SF to LA to SF over the weekend via 5 and I am heading back to Bakersfield in a few weeks and was thinking of using the 997. That route looks interesting and kinda mapped it out. Did I get the scenic route correctly?
