Some may recall I took my car up to Yosemite last fall. I have been so busy the last year that I forgot meaning of a vacation. I wanted to do yellow stone this spring but work... A friends wedding in Oregon this weekend. Of course I took the gt3 - exploring hwy 1 and some other detour roads along the way. Wish I could post photos my mind captured. Stunning views/ curves/ scenery. Here are a few that I stopped for.


The Mcoupe. Ironically, I met a friend of mine in hwy101 we pulled over.

Honestly. Track days are fun. BUT road trips in a gt3 x2 fun.

Great pics. Drinks in the car, dirt roads, ect. Garage queen owner are probably out in their garage with a California Car Duster after seeing your car. Looks like a fun trip!

Great eye. I'm allergic to cat's. If you gave the wife a choice of the cat or me. I'm afraid my stuff would get packed really quick.
