i might consider mymbonline thing, but Zen buffet has really nasty food if it's part of the same chain as the one in pasadena (fake japanese food...kinda like panda express for chinese food but worse).

I dont think anyone is going for the buffet ( atleast im not) im going for the meet itself and what we might do afterwards.

I just thought it would be cool to have a STRONG SLK presence and of course meet other MB owners.

So i hope you and the other members here can show up!

Will we make it for lunch at Santa Barbara? perhaps lunch and a small serving of wine. Easty may know of some routes during his travel there..... Nice idea Edward. Can't beat it - nice drive, nice scenery, nice food, nice wine, nice company, ...etc., etc.

Temecula sounds better for a few reasons.

1) I'm waiting for Mic to reappear and plan the Santa Barbara / Ojai run.
2) It's about time we had something down south closer the Eddy.
3) Close to Mt Palamar.

Since I’m not a wine drinker I’ll need help identifying good wineries near Temecula or Santa Barbara. I’ll check the auto club; they’re always talking about wineries in their articles.

Cool, did y'all get out for a run after the meet.

Eddy, it's the 27th, not the 20th. Remember when I had dates mixed up for Ford/Mazda/PPG

TheGhost · 10-15-2007

tslick: no man they didnt thats what everybody really wanted to do but for some reason or another it just didnt happen.

Hey just a quick question about the event on the 27th what time do you think we will be back??

Leaving Cooks Corner at 9 AM and without stopping it would take 3 hours to reach Temecula. With one or two stops on the way, I'd estimate arriving at the wineries in Temecula around 1 PM. You could figure around a hours drive back to Downy. If you skip lunch, you should get back before 2-2:30 PM.

It's a shame y'all didn't get a chance to run the cars last Saturday.

I got confirmation from a guy at work that runs with the Porsche / Ferrari fanatics. He said a Ferrari had a head on with a couple motorcycles on the ridge. He said the CHP is up there on a crackdown. Who knows how long it will last.

V8SLK · 10-20-2007

i was up there yesterday. the weather was great, 75+ degrees, no traffic, no cops and none of those damn BICYCLES! oh yeah, the road was in great shape too. i was good, i kept the speed at a reasonable rate (oh hell, i can't lie to you guys... i drove way too fast

).

Tslick · 10-20-2007

Cool Scott, did you try the front side of Glendora Mt. road?

yes, and it was so much fun that i just got back from doing it again. i went north on glendora mountain rd from sierra madre ave (glendora). after getting past the point where it was gated off, the first roughly 4 miles were pretty tight and technical. there are a couple of areas where driving outside one's means or the car's capability = death. a few outside curves that have a small dirt berm between the roadway and a looooooooonnnnnnnnnngggggggggg plunge. it opens up a bit after that. there are a couple of relatively high speed areas and some indicatia on the roadway (skidmarks to nowhere) that some have gone a bit too fast. it leads to the gated area that we usually stop at for pix... the spot where we saw the bow hunters hiking into. so, from there, i took the left back down east fork to hwy39. the other option was to go toward baldy.

a little more traffic today than yesterday... not surprising, weekday vs weekend. about a half a dozen bicycles and most people were kind about using turnouts.

one a scale of 1 to 5, today's drive gets a

+.
