Los Angeles Sunday Drive - meet @8:30AM / Leave @9:00AM [PART 2] - Page 65 - LotusTalk

kaz · 07-12-2009, 08:55 PM

Think I saw one or two of you when I was in Malibu today...actually was on the beach, then went to eat, then went for a ride up the mountain...Latigo was fun, tires were nice and sticky with all the heat. Lookout was closed, a biker was getting airlifted out -

daysineuropa · 07-12-2009, 10:07 PM

Waved you guys on at Mulholland and Cornell/Lake Vista. I was in the beagle carrier.

I must get a look at that Cossie, always loved that car.

tsunami racer · 07-13-2009, 02:51 PM

yes, i remember seeing the "beagle carrier" at that intersection!! you were nice enough to let me through the intersection first and keep up with the group

RachElise · 07-13-2009, 08:27 PM

aaaaah!! missed the cosworth. too bad. went for a commemorative drive for a fellow that passed away last week...sorry to have missed my lotus brethren.

kingpin · 07-14-2009, 04:53 PM

Is this going on this Sunday 7/19? I'm new to the Lotus community and would like to meet some other local owners.

It's just about every Sunday - numbers vary, as do the people who come out to play.

I should be there - but I did say that last week and then didn't show!

RachElise · 07-14-2009, 05:37 PM

i'm there 51 out of 52 sundays

Murix · 07-14-2009, 06:02 PM

As already mentioned. It pretty much always happens but the final outcome and results seem to vary.

I might/might not be there, just like every Sunday.

kaz · 07-14-2009, 06:27 PM

I don't get up in time to make MDR, but many people (like me) are sometimes out there in Malibu anyways later in the day

tsunami racer · 07-15-2009, 10:07 AM

i usually try to make it out but this Sunday, my company is sponsoring the car classic event at Art Center College of Design. Thus i will be there and not at the Loti meet.

A couple of our crazy wrapped Mazda5's and my Cosworth will be floating somewhere at the event.

If anyone is interested - AFTER THE MDR MEET, of course

kaz · 07-15-2009, 11:33 AM

Cool! In addition to the day job I teach as adjunct faculty at Art Center...I have my grad kids working on car launch campaigns partnering with some of the auto design grad students - I'll tell them to look out for ya

mopho · 07-16-2009, 04:54 PM

I'll probably swing by for some coffee

shay2nak · 07-19-2009, 10:37 PM

damn, the road on the way to Tuna was all gravel. I was like 1mph the whole way from the Stunt overlook. Anyway it was worth it, until I got to mulholland north from Malibu Canyon. I was making a left and opposite traffic a CHP pig was going into the left turn lane as well. As soon as this idiot sees me hit my indicator (which I didn't want to do as to let him know where I'm going) he cuts across 3 lanes to make a right turn onto Mulholland and nearly hits me as I'm already in the intersection making a left turn. I stare this dumbass down and drive behind him. Then I'm like f8ck this and i back off and cut back onto Kanan so I can continue to Mulholland to Decker. Sho nuff I had lost him and I was able to drive the rest of the way in peace, but I didn't get to make it to Rock Store. I should have kept going and he would have hit me then he would pay for my new 260S.

I came up on a F360 on Kanan and if I wasn't on the phone I would have taken that dude. Was all accelerating in the tunnels but all you could hear was my car.

tsunami racer · 07-25-2009, 05:39 PM

i'm coming by for coffee in the morning then driving up PCH to the british car show in ventura if anyone else wants to go:

19th Annual Ventura County Britsish Car show 7/26

mopho · 07-25-2009, 07:18 PM

I might be able to make it to coffee in the morning if I actually get some sleep tonight

i dont have a new born but i'm around enough people who do to know that you're such a no-show tomorrow morning.

Stormy320 · 07-25-2009, 07:42 PM

Congrats on being a Daddy! It's a great thing...huh!

mopho · 07-25-2009, 07:45 PM

Is that a challenge?
