914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Who is up for a OC/SoCal saturday morning drive?
Posted by: drem914 Sep 23 2019, 01:32 PM
Now that the 914 Gatherings and anniversary celebrations are winding down, a couple of us were looking to do a morning drive on a couple of the local area's more twisty roads.
Ortega for breakfast, or not, up at Hell's Kitchen on Ortega Hwy.
Attached is a map starting out at Irvine Porsche, heading up to Cooks Corner and out through Trabuco Canyon. Then down Antonio Pkwy to Ortega Highway and then up to Hell's Kitchen.
An extension for those that just want to turn around, Cars & Coffee @ the San Clemente Outlets goes off at 9AM. I have added a second map. along with a turn by turn for those that don't have a cell phone or know the area 
Oct. 26, Departure 7 AM from Irvine Porsche.

Now that the 914 Gatherings and anniversary celebrations are winding down, a couple of us were looking to do a morning drive on a couple of the local area's more twisty roads.
One suggestion was a run up Ortega for breakfast up at Hell's Kitchen on Ortega Hwy.
Attached is a map starting out at Irvine Porsche, heading up to Cooks Corner and out through Trabuco Canyon. Then down Antonio Pkwy to Ortega Highway and then up to Hell's Kitchen.
Possible dates Oct. 12 or 26? Any other suggestions are welcome.

Posted by: Tdskip Sep 23 2019, 02:00 PM
I could probably make the 26th.
Thanks for offering up the idea.
Posted by: ValcoOscar Sep 23 2019, 02:51 PM
I will pencil in the 26th
Good idea...let the horses run a bit. 
Oscar
Posted by: 914Toy Sep 23 2019, 04:07 PM
26th works for me.
Posted by: jim_hoyland Sep 23 2019, 04:17 PM
26th sounds good 
Posted by: KELTY360 Sep 23 2019, 04:36 PM
Oh man, those are my old stomping grounds! i used to regularly run both of those, along with Carbon Canyon and Laguna Canyon back in the 70s when I had a new 73 1.7. Last time I was on the Ortega was 3 years ago and it was bumper to bumper all the way from I-5 to Elsinore. Fortunately I was going in the other direction. Times have changed...back then Laguna Canyon was a two lane twisty...good times.
Enjoy.

You already own one of my old cars so don't be shy...come on down and you can borrow one of my cars for this drive.
Oscar
Posted by: drem914 Sep 23 2019, 05:47 PM
Okay. We are targeting October 26th. That gives us a month to sort out any car issues or come up with some other suggestions on locations.
Have gone on some nice drives with PCA-SDR up to Mt. Palomar and out in the back areas of San Diego County, but that's an hour of freeway driving from Mission Viejo just to get to a starting point. Maybe next time in spring. I'll have to pull out the old drive sheets.
I'll will check with Irvine Porsche and see if we can set something up for the start of the day. Service opens at 8 and the showroom opens at 9.
(Anyone here have any contacts within AutoNation?)
Posted by: 914Toy Sep 23 2019, 08:22 PM
I suggest we give drive start time priority to minimize traffic congestion.
Posted by: Coondog Sep 23 2019, 08:40 PM
26th works, should have my car back by then...
Posted by: 914-300Hemi Sep 23 2019, 08:47 PM
Sounds great

Of course.. Thinking about a 7 AM departure at this point, but we can fine tune it in the coming weeks.

Maybe we just use it as a turnaround point or just stop at the Rock house a few miles earlier. I have never been there, just driven by.

My bad, I was thinking the Rock House. Any updates we need to know.
Posted by: Larmo63 Oct 20 2019, 06:19 PM
I we leave early enough, we should be to Hell's Kitchen before the mad rush.
I may not be able to attend, but I'm trying to work it into my schedule.
Posted by: SO.O.C914er Oct 20 2019, 06:24 PM
I talked to Oscar about this at the swap meet this morning. I’m totally in on this one! Drive on
Posted by: CoronaMike Oct 21 2019, 10:00 AM
Are we still thinking 7 am for start time?
Posted by: 914Toy Oct 21 2019, 10:03 AM
Good for me. What is the starting address?
Posted by: drem914 Oct 21 2019, 12:33 PM
post #1 updated for depature time and attendees.
7:00 am sounds about right. That should get us up there about 8:30 before the rest of the rush.
Will continue to update through this week.
Posted by: drem914 Oct 23 2019, 01:07 PM

I know this is a little late, but for those of you going a little stir crazy is anyone up for another round through OC? No stopping for a communal breakfast like before, but they are supposedly serving take out at Hell's Kitchen. After that we can head to Dana Point, Laguna Beach or on your way as needed? Any takers before it get's too warm tomorrow?

It just wound up being Keith and myself. When we got to Hell's Kitchen (which was not open) 2 more P-cars, a late model Boxster and 911 and a Ferrari joined us. Here's a shot of Keith @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=21596 before we headed home.

Ahhh - I'm bummed I missed this. Just saw the post today. Probably just as well though - I need to adjust my valves after my recent rebuild. Next time for sure!
