No turn offs, plenty of turn outs.


ACH goes pretty much straight through whereas Malibu has a hundred roads that look like driveways to go and play on with hidden street signs everywhere.


Missed out on Latigo yesterday, anyone hit it and how was it?

The split run groups is a great idea, we could have a start point, maybe a mid point stop and then an end point where we could gather at a predetermined place for a late lunch or whatever. The small run groups also have the advantage of everybody would be following a car that knows where it is going, most of us cannot read the directions while driving and end up just playing follow the car in front, if they are lost so are we.
One of the other advantages of this approach is it allows us to play on smaller roads, if we wish on Sundays when there maybe too much traffic on the more common easy to follow routes, I could lead a group as well if we play in my local mountains.

As to, Latigo Cyn, I drove down it yesterday to PCH and it was a whole bunch of fun and in good shape until about the 1/8 of the route from the bottom, the road gets a little rougher down there and more importantly I got stuck behind a large SUV, but other wise, highly recommended.

Had fun but ya, the directions were very confusing. Me and Jon B in MX-5 got stuck at one of the lights on topanga cyn blvd so were kinda left behind and had nobody to follow. I had a map and he had the last page of the map so I had to lead. We get to muholland and I see stunt road on the map but it doesnt say turn onto stunt road or anything, seemed like it skipped a bunch of steps. So me and Jon B make it to Tuna Cyn and take topanga back to the mall. Nobody is there so Jon B gets on the phone with someone and they tell us they are at the snake. So we start heading up that way and on the way up we see the atom and SWC. We go hit Tuna again and then go back to the mall.

I think the number one most confusing thing was that on certain streets there was no sign, like at the top of stunt. In the future I will print myself a map with the route cuz to me thats much easier than looking at streets and distances. Also, if we are doing a cruise then there should always be a regroup stop before we get to the intresting part of the cruise. I would be intrested in putting together the Oct 9 cruise if you guys want. I put together a cruise in the same area about a year ago with about 15-20 cars. No maps and nobody got lost.

Yeah, Karn in the silver C5 Vette and all his friends (black BMW, GT-R, "El Shamu" C6, etc.) and then the blue C5 Vette, black Camaro, and silver Firebird (me) went to Neptunes for some food. After that, we hit up Decker and a couple other canyon runs (which is where I got the footage I posted a few posts back).

We also got to see an OLD biker guy throw a temper tantrum because his wife didn't save him a seat at Neptunes. LOL.

Good points. Duly noted. It's my fault for not cleaning up the directions, I just printed straight from Google and it throws in a lot of not so necessary information.

This is why ACH (and GMR/GRR) are good cruises. Once you're on the road, you literally can't get off route. The Mulholland area has been the most challenging to do sucessfully (both cruises have been a little but . . dynamic let's say) because of the million options. We've pulled off 60+ cars meeting and running ACH with no problems. Even the small group can get mixed up in Malibu.

Here's the route that the blue C5Z06, the black turbo Camaro, and the pewter Firebird took: http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/4...llandroute.png

My route on Sundayhttp://g.co/maps/n9ejc

so we gunna have a separate thread for pictures and video? Should have mine up tonight

If anyone is interested, Rock Store Photos has Sundays set up on the site. Please be careful clicking on the link if your volume is in the 'loud' range, the song begins automatically. Follow the links to the Flikr page to see the shots.

There is an interesting one of me coming down The Snake that I might have to shell out a couple of bucks for.

I got the shots of me , last time we did this run. He does a great job of cleaning them up. Very high res too. I can zoom in and count the wiskers on my chin !

I knew I should have stuck closer to you...


I was thinking of hitting Old Topanga back to Mulholland but I was hungry so I just kept over the hill AT 27 MPH! thanks to some asshole who decided it was his day to police the road, he wasn't too happy with the guy following him trying to push him down the road.


I'da liked to push them both over the side of the road.

But I digress...

pretty much all the good pictures I got, now on to the video!

Kill it! Kill Prius with fire and hailstones and voodoo!!!!

Kill it!!!!

I kept saying to myself 'dont turn on Stunt, dont turn on Stunt' and what did she do?!


:censored:

happens everytime on a run...need 007 style missile launcher..

The worst car I ever got stuck behind coming down GMR, it was fucking unbelievable, like 25-30mph . . . it was a . . Prius.

me and a friend were coming down deer creek and a prius was just laying on the brakes the whole time. I was ready to just stop and wait for the idiot to just get to the bottom of the hill so I could go down faster than 10 mph. Prius drivers suck!

The worst that I ever got stuck behind was up the crest. On the way down I caught a F-150 that was going 10 under the limit that refused to get out of the way. My personal rule is to give the guy 5 chances to use LARGE turnouts. After that I give him a few flashes of the lights, then a "warm my tires weave". About 15 turnouts later we got to a passing lane and the guy actively blocked me swerving in front of me each time I tried to pass. I ended up just pulling off into a turnout and waiting about 10 minute so that I could safely drive the speed limit. The crazy part was that I hadn't been speeding, tailgating, or anything else that would have provoked his blocking. Heck most of that day I had been getting out of other people's way since I had my mother in the car who can't stand twisty roads.

Thats what pulling a Ron is for...

I had a similar issue ACH except it was a BMW, he must have passed 100 turnouts and refused to pull over, I finally just turned right down Angeles Forest Hwy to get rid of him

You have to fall back a little and catch cock suckers like that by surprise.

I would tend to agree, but I didn't have any intention of coming up on a guy going 15-20mph faster than him when I feel like there is a good chance that he would just jump in front of me at the last second causing an accident. Plus in F150 vs. Lowered Miata, Miata loses every time.

Also added to OP.
