I'm thinking maybe we should get more sleep and pay more attention next suspension install lol.

 

That wouldn't be a bad idea, because that day me and zin were on like 3/4hrs sleep.

 

Soooooo, Whats everyone doing either Wednesday or Thursday morning? I was thinking of taking a trip up to Idllwild and was looking for people to roll with. I know it's kind of far but I'm going regardless. I need to get out. I'll shift my day depending on if anyone wants to roll and when they are available. Lemme know.

The Route starts in Hemet/Valle Vista and takes the 74 and 243 all the way up.

 

Man wish I could go. Looks like a hell of a drive.

 

Word! I'll be at work definitely looks like fun though.

 

so whose gonna join us in Vegas for WhiV 5 ?
For those who haven't gone before, this is a meet that started 5 years ago as a little bbq and birthday celebration with a few friends and has now grown to a huge annual meet.

Phil has negotiated some sweet room rates:

we usually all drive out together friday morning if you guys are interested, I'm sure I'll throw up a thread once we get closer to the date.

 

^+1

i don't think i need to mention how much fun vegas can be but i'll say it anyways...


IT'S FUNNNNNN....


except when you take a jager shot and get spanked by a wooden paddle from some chick that has a swing like bonds when he's on the juice

@_@'

 

Alright party people....We really need to get a cruise going. I had the opportunity to take a drive up to Idyllwild this morning and all I can say is WOW. The curves on that stretch of road are freaking amazing! I can honestly say I've never driven a more fun section of road. And, the scenery is beautiful up there, seriously, beautiful. I managed to snap a few pics while I was up there. I got some pretty funny looks as people drove by and I'm getting all low taking pictures of my 8.

 

@ Jedi sounds like a great excuse to visit my dad. I'll be looking for a thread to pop up.

@mongo nice shots bro wish I coulda been there. So since you brought it what's the plan for the next meet? Let's get a good plan and not just last minute this again.

 

I'm up for pretty much anything. We can head to a restaurant for realz this time or we can take a drive somewhere. I wouldn't recommend the Idyllwild drive for a meet on Wednesday, it takes a couple hours to get there and up and down. I'll start looking for some local roads if you guys want to do a cruise. Let's get a consensus among everyone and then go from there.

 

I vote for Bdubz. Anything after that is fine with me.

 

I just took a drive around Lake Matthews this weekend, a little curvy, decent drive. Just kind of short for a drive. I don't know of any other winding roads around

 

Have you guys considered a cruise on Ortega hwy?
there's a great mexican restaurant in Lake Elsinore called Las Palmas where you could have lunch/ dinner afterwards.

I have a buddy who used to live in Elsinore so we'd hit up Ortega from time to time.
That restaurant is a Little whole in the wall but its cheap and good.

 

Ive done ortega in my Z. It was a lot of fun, except when you were stuck behind some really slow cars. Its a scary ride too, some of those cliffs are STEEP.

 

damn jedi you beat me to it, I was gonna suggest Ortega hwy. I'm even down for Idyllwild or even a big bear run, definitely would have to be a weekend though.

 

How about at midnight, where you get the thrill out of this car...? Now come back and let us know how scary that is

 

I think it would be insane amounts of fun if the road were entirely closed so I could use the oncoming lanes as well...but it is just downright scary in some parts, especially those with no rails!

 

Sevenstock!!!

 

yeah, it's ton of fun until you get stuck behind some slow ***.
I took Ortega a few months ago to get to a buddy's wedding (in temecula) and had exactly that happen to me.
Fortunately it was more tolerable in my bimmer then in the 8 in slow traffic.
if you guys want a Big Bear run, I'll keep you posted. Been talking with some of the San Bernardino guys into doing another Big Bear run before all the snow shows up.

midnight Ortega Run = BAD idea.
I prefer early morning runs when there aren't as many soccer moms (or cops) on those roads.

now we're TALKIN'!

 

So are we thinking big bear for wednesday or something this weekend. And I thought we wanted to move the meet location because everyone lives to far from Corona

 

at first I was like
... and then I was like

 

Your welcome. I have done my job for today.

 

So what are we doing wednesday?

 

We should have a meet to sit down and plan a meet lol.

 

Lol, are you proposing a meet to plan the meet??
