San Diego Sunday Drive - Page 11 - LotusTalk

Hayseed · 10-28-2006, 07:49 AM

The route along the coast will be quite a different drive than a drive through the hills. There will be a much higher concentration of traffic and more waiting at traffic signals. There are very few places along the coast where you can attain speeds over 45 MPH. The hill south of Torrey Pines State Beach is about the last stretch of road along the coast where you can get over 65 MPH. Let me know what you think, it may be a good week for me to pull the wheels and diffuser off and retorque all the suspension and rack fasteners.

There really isn't a lot of "fun diving" down the coast in San Diego. If all you want to do is cruise, then it's fine. But, if you want to "drive", stick to the East County.

MethodX · 10-28-2006, 05:27 PM

I was in until the drive turned to the coast. I live for the twisites.

Maybe next time.

CALtd · 10-28-2006, 06:47 PM

I thought the coast was out? Is anyone going or should I stay home and adjust my clocks?

Hayseed · 10-28-2006, 08:08 PM

I'm out.

I've got too much to catch up on. The Lotus needs a once-over and so does the lawn and the patio and the shop and the garage and the.......

See you next week.
