Where is this? I live in LA and would love to do it next year. I gotta get out more. My 4 and 5 year olds keep me really busy. Your GT3 sounds great BTW. Shoulda turned off the radio - tho - spoiled the beautiful engine note. I've been thinking about getting a 10 GT3 in a couple years as a keeper. Enjoying my 09 C2S PDK right now as a DD. But think the 10 GT3 may be a more exciting non-DD keeper.

This has been an annual event for years 10+.
"New Years Day Hangover Rally"
TRE Motorsports now in Reseda is the starting point.
Pelican Parts forum is where you find out about it.

All about the drive!!
Check out pics from the day:
new-years-day-drive-los-angelesl

There are cars like this:
"King of the Hill" RSR
The car is a time capsule...same owner since the 70's and has less than 5,000 mi.
I have kept it safe all these years and it is in the same configuration as when it was raced in the 70's and early 80's. Time has stood still for the Mulholland Carrera. Almost every if not every Mulholland racer has long ago let go of their Mulholland race-car. I cannot. The Carrera is part of the family and it will not leave Mulholland, for it belongs to the lore, mystery, and legend of that famous Drive.
If you want to learn a bit about about the history and lore of Mulholland Drive
go to this link, a 200+ page thread, more like a novel:

^^^ Thanks - you have just completely ruined my productivity for the day and/or caused me to lose a lot of sleep tonight. That is a VERY cool thread and great reading. Must bookmark for tonight so I can get back to work...

Mjones, cool video. A friend of mine performed the same engine swap on his 944.
