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.

I will be out of town on the 12th. The 26th works so far....

I could probably make the 26th.

Thanks for offering up the idea.

I will pencil in the 26th

Good idea...let the horses run a bit.

Oscar

26th works for me.

26th sounds good

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

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?)

I suggest we give drive start time priority to minimize traffic congestion.

26th works, should have my car back by then...

Sounds great

Hmmmm.......pretty attractive offer Oscar. Guess I better check my calendar

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

Where would you start from?

Right now, we are looking at a departure from the new Irvine Porsche dealership at the 5 frwy/Bake intersection.

My car might be ready by then .

Have updated post #1 with a current list of possible attendees.

Let's see how many we can get.

to move this back up.

I'm in, this sounds fun.

No 911s aloud!

I'm in.

FYI
Hells Kitchen Bar & Grill will be packed with M/C riders with little to no parking for are cars “dirt lot” and longer wait times for food. It’s like that every weekend.

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.

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.

I talked to Oscar about this at the swap meet this morning. I’m totally in on this one! Drive on

Are we still thinking 7 am for start time?

Good for me. What is the starting address?

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.

to get this back to the top. Local driving for this Saturday.

Coming down from NorthOC.
91.4% sure @LS1V8Jerry is joining the group.
In addition, waiting to hear if &%#* is borrowing one of my cars.

Oscar

Great, but who is &%#* ?

I think Craig and I will be their

If my car had seats installed, I would drive over for the weekend / it is that nice now in AZ and I have been out almost every day until removing my seats for fitment issues on the brackets.............. Also my horns are in failure mode unlike Bronze Boy..... Have fun guys.

No excuse Forrest....you have the only 4 seat 914 I know of.

Come on....

That is too bad, Jim. Would have been nice to have you along.
