2019 West Coast Cruise

Um, yeah, my sympathy just went out the window.

The funny thing is that @Ryan (formerly) in NorCal supplied the drone shots for that video.

I believe the guy who made the sh!tty fake Porsche comment was joking. Most of the people participating in the event appeared cordial.

Oh I've said plenty of things when I'm angry that I regret later..guilty. Luckily I wasn't being recorded during those times.

Waiting for the NorCal group at the Ragged Point Inn, I saw the '34 Duesenberg and the slime green Viper as seen in the Targa video, small world. 

The Cords all were in a group headed south on Hwy 1 also. Added to the great scenery.

Ha. Fun to get a credit. Should anyone be looking for more adventurous routes, here’s their list:

• Day 1 Stage 1 - https://goo.gl/maps/1tz3eAyzrTV5eWsq8 - 1hr - 39 miles
• Day 1 Stage 2 - https://goo.gl/maps/AMzuH73ESF3xoeGX6 - 1.5hr - 64 miles

Total: 643 miles

Just a friendly reminder to the owner of the charred Lotus, as much as you think you’re Lotus is better than our cars, you still couldn’t afford to buy a “fake sh%tty Porsche” with your insurance check. Hate to break it to you bud, but unless your Lotus was in immaculate condition with under 10 miles, it’s worth less than our plastic clown cars. 

To add, there were also a number of cars on the tour that could out-perform his Lotus both in terms of 0-60 and cornering capabilities; regardless of what model (I couldn’t tell exactly what year and model).  

I don’t think it was anger that made the owner say that, it is a mindset ....

@Kevin - Bay Area OUCH! Too funny...couldn’t afford...

Childish retaliatory joke:

 - Wasn’t that car made in the English town of Kingsford?

just to be fair & balanced concerning the asinine comment from the KRISPY LOTUS owner...that scenario could occur to anyone at any given time...depending of course on condition & caring maintenance by said owner and unforeseen events....but perhaps not say such silly things with a camera rolling?.....just a thought

I shared a video for the Lotus guy on the Targa California video:

That's us dancing around since we finished the run.

Spoke to Paul Kramer At auto kennel  turns out the Lotus guy was actually making fun of everybody’s car along with ours …He even told me the owner of the lotus has owned a couple of replica porches in the past… So he can’t be that bad of a guy...

I also did tell paul it wasn’t a wise thing to say during the video taping of his car burning… He agreed

mr lotus is a true car guy and loves to tinker with all sorts of them..... 

best regards,

Awwww, I was just finishing up the VooDoo doll I made from this pic of him. 

Oh well. 

Let’s keep it rolling. The thread will prolly end-up on the topic of Bundt cakes before long anyway.

Hey I'll go there immediately...today's advice is to spray your Bundt cake pan with non-stick spray before you pour your batter. Poke it with a toothpick to check 'doneness'.

in other news, pack a fire extinguisher! Not only that, test the darn thing so you don't have a useless red thing behind your seat for years getting stale until one day you need it. Might save the day.

I’m glad you brought that up. After getting my carbs dialed in by my local VW guy, I was driving the Coupe home and my Extinguisher just emptied itself. I was blinded and pulled into the median. My wife said I looked like a snowman when I jumped outta that thing. Valuable lesson: 1) Secure your extinguisher at all times 2) Think about getting the Element unit (Which I gladly followed through with). Three hours of cleaning and I still can see the residue here and there. The top of the dash is actually Dark blue. In the second pic I had already cleaned the driver’s seat. A Duh moment for sure 🤦‍♂️
