| It was a beautiful morning so I thought I’d share the drive. First to get me going is a little twisty road called Palos Verdes east towards San Pedro.
Then swing around and cruise around the Palos Verdes country club.
Cut over to Palos Verdes west and check out the homes with a view.
Catch up and pass a white SLK350 near the lighthouse.
Bounce around Portuguese Bend, They fix this part of the road weekly.
Pass by the 22nd street landing and fisherman’s Wharf.
Make a speed run through Terminal Island.
Listen to the sounds of CART practice in downtown Long Beach.
Finally a chance to wind up the kompressor.

| Thanks Tom for the video clips. It wasn't sunny in Lake Forest, dark clouds and a few sprinkles and windy.

| California, if you want to call it a country is pretty large. Hopefully easty will update his adventure thread with his new pictures he posted at the AMG private lounge. Incredible greenery and roads that make it a pleasure to drive up north. |
