Yeah, it was a great day. Not too hot, no breakdowns, nice driving conditions and the roads were smooth and relatively free of traffic. Always fun to share some of my favorite roads. We saw a few of the P cars in Tahoe as they celebrated the PCA Treffen in Squaw Valley. 

Doing 200+ miles in an open car on a warm, sunny day can take a bit out of you and I salute my fellow enthusiasts who joined Andie and I for this one day tour. Stephen "Badspd", with his badass 912, Ron & Karen, Mike, Paul, Ryan, Noel and, of course, Tebs! Thanks for participating in this year's Mini Tour d'Hoe. We'll do the weekend version next year, okay? 

Those roads, Terry! I'll be forever grateful for having the opportunity to drive them in my clown-car twice. I loved CA1, but Tahoe/Yosemite, and the national forest were, are and always will be my happy place.

Gimme' a head's up on the two day tour for next year, please. I'd like to make it a trifecta. 

I posted the above video on Facebook and got the following response from one of my friends who used to own a 356c:

I had a 356c until about 10 years ago. I wouldn't even think about taking up to Tahoe. The altitude(carbs), the hills(brakes) and the torque(hills) might be a bit sketchy. Good choice on the daily-driver version.

Fun to know that we can have more fun in our speedsters than some originals.
