PEOPLE OF EARTH!

For anyone interested in a breakfast cruise this Saturday morning;

1) I will be at Knollwood's Family Diner in Irvine at 08:00 am. This will allow lazy ba$tards like me to sleep in til 07:00, AND for those hardcore SOC'ers who attend C&C that morning, a chance to check out the cars at C&C and then wander over to Knollwood's for some breakfast before we head out for a short cruise (2 hrs).

2) Knollwood's is located in Irvine just off the 5 Fwy on the Sand Canyon exit. Knollwood's is behind the Denny's Restaurant. Plenty of parking in the back. From C&C, take Alton Parkway west to Sand Canyon Drive (1.5 miles). North (right turn) on Sand Canyon to Knollwood's (1.5 miles).

3) I plan on leaving Knollwoods aproximately 09:00-09:15. Whoever's there is there. My cell (949) 294-6302

3) Cruise route will be;
a. Sand Canyon north to Portola Parkway.
b. Portola west to Jamboree Rd.
c. Jamboree Rd north to Santiago Canyon Rd.
d. Santiago Cyn Rd east to Live Oak Canyon Rd.
e. Live Oak Canyon Rd through Trabuco Canyon and into Rancho Santa Margarita.
f. On Rancho Santa Margarita Rd. to Antonio Parkway
g. Antonio Parkway south through Ladera Ranch to Ortega Hwy.
h. Ortega Hwy west to Del Obispo in San Juan Capistrano
i. Del Obispo south to Dana Point Harbor Drive/marina.

4) Course distance approximately 45 miles. Guestimate cruise time about 1.5-2 hours arriving in Dana Point Marina approximately 11:00-11:15

5) Weather forecast for this area calls for afternoon temps of 90 degrees inland, slightly cooler at the coast 85 degrees.

Lookig forward to seeing/cruising with my SOC buds.

Even more interesting than Cory's picture is that, if you turned around from where the photo was taken, you would see about 600 motorcycles sitting at the Deal's Gap parking area on the Tail of the Dragon.

We caused an amazing stir when we left - it was like the "Bike Sea" parted to let the 6 little cars out, exhaust roaring as we left, to lots of smiles and waves from the bikers!

Quite the place!

Yeah Jim, I just read about this a few days ago. They're running this at a new track in NJ. I'm actually racing there (NJ Motorsports Park) in Sept. I can't wait, it looks sick fast!
One night about a year or so ago, I was sitting in the bar at the bistro and saw an Aston Martin Vantage pull into the parking lot (we don't see too many of those in Wilm, DE). The guy walks in and I say "Nice car", long story short he runs this thing called World Class Driving Experience. A few months later he spots me in my speedster and pulls up and asked me when I was going to come and drive the cars?
His deal is on the street, not a track (bummer) and they have a few more cars, nicer ones too! F430, 599, GT40, SLR, ect.... If I recall it's ALOT less expensive. I'm hoping to do it sometime this summer or fall. Here's the link.

OK, you guys are tempting me,after all, what did I buy the car for any way? To sleep late, stay off freeways, and die of boredom? NOT! I seek bugs in my hair, wind in my teeth and Chorizo in my gut! So I might just be at C&C at 7 AM, and proceed to the SOC breakfast/ run at Peckerwood's. I'll think about it today and commit by 6 PM today. I am definatly on for Sunday though. I plan on a 7 AM departure from Carlsbad Village Dr. headed to breakfast in San Clemente/Dana Point then to the Concours. Any San Diego folks that want to caravan, let's get it together. I am flexible but don't want to start too late.
Thanks Leon, however chorizo is unaffected by any man made checmical material that we know of today... the ONLY cure is Cervesas!

Will, get your lazy bu** up here.. Nah just kidding my BIG friend! LOL.. hope to see you if you do decide to wander up north a ways..

This drive should be very cool, we did it last year and it was very nice even in the rain! yes my east coast SOCer's it rained on us So. Cali. folks..

Speedster "D" See ya in the morning.. and oh yeah, still waiting for my polish to arrive! LOL...

I'm in for Sat AM.

Will, you are 30 mins closer to C&C than me, so if you go, start at a time that will get you there. I figure to leave the house around 5:30. and my Conv D likes to go around 60-65 max (standard transaxle) I would like to see the C&C P-cars so I will do my best to get there early then breakfast @ 8am

My fall back plan for a later start is to get to breakfast and blow off C&C till the next time.

Tomorrow's cruise is mapped out to terminate at the Mariott Hotel in Dana Point. This will give location reference for the SOC'ers going to Sunday's 356 Concourse. Woooooo Hooooooooo!!

Gerd - I hope your daughter feels better real soon! After spending all day in the Urgent Care, you both need to get some rest. We'll miss your bad-boy blue wide-body Speedster on this run.

Dennis - No problem with the timing, family stuff comes first!

We'll save you guys a spot in line on the next cruise (Maybe San Diego - the Del Coronado!).

I'll see the rest of you SOC mooks (you too Robert!) in the morning!!

Peace - Out, from the most Guapo hombre in all of Orange County, that is, after Gabe GQ, of course!!
1:15 on a Friday night. Just finished new tires and put a bumper back on and ready for tomorrow's... er, uh, make that TODAY's cruise. See you all at Knowlwood's at 8ish. Too tired already for C&C but the coffee shop sounds like what I'll be dreaming of for a few hours at least. If you see me swerve I'm not drunk, so honk and wake my ass up!
