=============================================
OP
Time for another cruise. Let's meet at Savi Ranch in Yorba Linda at 12:00. The lot is large, but we'll be at the back by Dick's Sporting Goods. The address is:

23081 Savi Ranch Parkway
Yorba Linda, CA 92886

I'm planning to hang out until 12:30 to 12:45 and then roll out to Santiago Canyon all the way to Fuddruckers in Lake Forest. Here is the route (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=23081+Savi+Ranch+Parkway+yorba+linda+ca+9288 6&daddr=Santiago+Canyon+rd+to:23621+El+Toro+Road+Lak e+Forest+CA,+92630&geocode=FeHWBAId_4P7-Ck7RNUJKc7cgDEDYFPcRDQBIg%3BFTkGAwIdNTn8-CmdnSKvf8TcgDGJcgG63buHMw%3BFS39AAIdJwH8-CkDHWCk8OjcgDF4FLP4nbq7Lg&hl=en&mra=ls&dirflg=ht&sll=33.74715,-117.708415&sspn=0.256925,0.667419&ie=UTF8&ll=33.842047,-117.743568&spn=0.06416,0.166855&t=h&z=13), and here is the address for Fudd's:

23621 El Toro Road
Lake Forest CA, 92630

For anyone that wants to meet us at Fuddruckers, we should arrive around 1:30. The food is great, and it's a big, open lot so you don't have to worry about your car. See you all there!

[SIK ACR]

[SeanPlunk]

SIK ACR suggested this route (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=23081+Savi+Ranch+Parkway+yorba+linda+ca+9288 6&daddr=Santiago+Canyon+rd+to:Santa+Margarita+Pkwy+t o:23621+El+Toro+Road+Lake+Forest+CA,+92630&geocode=FeHWBAId_4P7-Ck7RNUJKc7cgDEDYFPcRDQBIg%3BFTkGAwIdNTn8-CmdnSKvf8TcgDGJcgG63buHMw%3BFZFcAQIdSJr9-A%3B&hl=en&mra=ls&dirflg=ht&sll=33.66021,-117.615509&sspn=0.064296,0.167198&ie=UTF8&ll=33.636203,-117.641258&spn=0.064314,0.167198&t=h&z=13) which gives us a little more time on the canyon :)

I'm 99% sure that's the route we took whenever it was that we did our cruise. :huh:

[Damian]

Thats a fun canyon run, too bad Ill be at work. Im itching for another canyon run.

[kdracer73]

Hi Sean , I will make it if I am not Smoging cars Sat. You should make it down Live Oak Canyon. Make a left at Cooks corner. The Oak tree canopy is cool to drive in. It is tight and twisty but the cops hang out on weekends. You will come out in Rancho Santa Margarita. Take RSM pkwy back to El Toro road or just run Live Oak back to Cooks Corner.

[Douglas Mariani]

I got to see if the kids/grandkids are staying the weekend...If they are than I'll go.... if not than Beth and I are going to take a road trip to Las Vegas

[BRIAN]

I should be able to catch you guys as well if nothing comes up.

[heyitsdatguy]

One of these days I'm going to catch one of these meets/cruises with you guys. I work too much and I need to get a life.

[SeanPlunk]

Lots of people have said they're coming - it should be a great group:)

[big2bird]

I'll talk to the boss. "She who must be obeyed.":sm_laughing:

[SeanPlunk]

Tomorrow gentleman - I have directions printed!

[BlacknBoostn]

sean, give me a call please when ya'll get to fuddruckers, if i'm in the area i'll cruise over... might have a buddy with a "roushed" gt ;)

[bondosho]

Hey Sean. I should be down for this. See you all tomorrow!

PS: I saw you on Imperial yesterday afternoon.

[Damian]

I should be able to make this.

[SeanPlunk]

I should be able to make this.

Good deal :judge:

[mustangray]

Has any one checked out the weather ?

[SeanPlunk]

Has any one checked out the weather ?

Yes, I'm keeping my eye on it. There is a 30% chance of same rain tonight, but it's supposed to be only early on and then clear up if it happens at all...

If it rains, so help me :mad:

[SeanPlunk]

Damn it all, the updated forecast is not good. I'll just have to feel it out tomorrow :bang:

[SIK ACR]

I really hope it's not going to rain! If so I won't be able to make this run, as I have a CAI and cannot afford to suck up ANY water at all! Here's hoping for DRY weather!!!

[Vettezuki]

IF it rains tomorrow, how about just push til Sunday? Forecast looks clear for Sunday. :huh: I was even leaning towards riding my Bike, which I won't be doing in the rain. I'm enough of a general risk to society as it is on two wheels.

I can't on Sunday, but that would be a good alternate plan :surrender:

Tomorrow or bust then.

[Slow_HO_Daytona]

At least you won't have to wash your car before the meet Sean...
I washed my car Wednesday, and just ran through some California "rain" driving through Irvine.... Just enough "rain" to turn the dust to mud.

:censored:

Yeah, that's the worst. I had already given up on washing my car for tomorrow, so at least I don't have to be pissed about that too :sm_laughing:

[Slow_HO_Daytona]

I'll see you tomorrow....

[kdracer73]

Soooooooooooo..... Is it Sunday now ???

[bondosho]

According to weather.com, it's just going to be cloudy today, and no rain is expected. Looking out my window, it's very clear with only small clouds in the distance.

[mustangray]

It's looking nice outside right now so are we on for today or tomarrow ?

[Vettezuki]

Today.

[SeanPlunk]

It's looking nice outside right now so are we on for today or tomarrow ?

Weather looks good for today. It looks like the only chance of rain would be at the end at Fuddruckers in the later afternoon. We live on one side of the canyon and the ground is dry here. See you all at noon TODAY :)

Sounds excellent see you there

[SoCalC55]

Not a cloud in the sky on this side of the canyon(Irvine)

So thanks to an early flight home, ill be meeting you on Jamboree/Santiago!

[Vettezuki]

OP updated with link to album and photos from today. Video to come later tonight (probably).

[SeanPlunk]

I want to thank everyone for coming - what a great turnout!

[Douglas Mariani]

We had a GREAT Time:thumbs_up::thumbs_up:

[Forytwo]

Thanks Sean, I enjoyed hanging with everybody today. Good group of gearheads. Hope to make future events.

No problem, thanks for coming :bigthumbsup:

Just so I can match a car with a name, what were you driving today?

[bondosho]

Good fun. I love taking the SHO out to the canyons (where it belongs :) )

[Forytwo]

Sean, I drove the Silver Pontiac Solstice GXP Turbo Coupe. Was happy to see several other S's there so I could pick their brain re: performance enhancements, etc. Mission accomplished.

[tripower]

Had a blast on the cruise and great time talking car with some of the crew!

[kdracer73]

Had a great time too !!! I think Frankie left some white knuckle marks on my dash, first time I ran that fast in the canyon with her. Only problem today......orphaned the brownie :mad: left it on the dang table.

[sinaSRT-4]

:mad: Man I wish I could have been there...Looks like you guys had a blast! Very sick cars also. DAMMMMMN!

We missed you buddy - you would have had a fantastic time on the Live Oak section. I think we had over 40 cars total :nuts:

[06f250sd]

Thanks again Sean, was a great meet :thumbs_up:. Hope to bring more subies next time.

[SeanPlunk]

Thanks again Sean, was a great meet :thumbs_up:. Hope to bring more subies next time.

No problem - thanks for coming out!

Where do you guys want to cruise next? PCH, Mulholland, GMR - I'm open for suggestions :bigthumbsup:

[SoCalC55]

I vote for a GMR or similar style drive. Something where we wont have to worry about traffic *cough* Ortega

[Vettezuki]

I'm doing some research on roads that may be slightly off the grid. :pot_stir:

[Damian]

GMR and GRR have been regulation free the last 4 times Ive been up there, and each time has been at noon on a Saturday.

I got some videos of the cruise, I just need to attempt to edit it and upload it here. Good little cruise BTW, too slow for me though, but great scenery.

I mean something a bit different. :-)

PS, You can send me Video, especially if it's on miniDV (but I can handle almost anything) and I can do an easy cut/edit for you if you like.

[mustangray]

Had a great time, my buddy with the challenger loved it can't wait for the next one.
sean let my know about the auto show,thanks..

[Fastback91]

yea had a really good time today :drink:

i vote we do Ortega or PCH cruise next... GMR is really far...

[Damian]

Ill see if I can do it, if I cant, Ill get the miniDVD to you. I got 25 minutes of footage, but theres a bunch of red llight action in the beginning.

[bones321]

hey whats up guys? i just joined. i was in the black s13 240sx(missing the front bumper) great cruise.

[bondosho]

No problem - thanks for coming out!

Where do you guys want to cruise next? PCH, Mulholland, GMR - I'm open for suggestions :bigthumbsup:

I vote nowhere until I get new tires :D.

[Madmax305]

Sean, thanks for putting the Cruise together, I had a great time. As usual, the People and Cars were great. Wow, I really enjoyed seeing some of the old Muscle cars, that brought back memories from my high school days....

[jedhead]

I had a great time too. My suggestion is my favorite road. CA58 from Buttonwillow to San Luis Obisbo. Somewhat of a drive, but what a road. I take it everytime I travel to the bay area. Once when I was in a rental G37, I was in the middle of a Ferrari Club. They all pulled over to get everyone lined up. I go out and checked the cars out. The guy running the event told me that I could go around them and move on. I told him I will just pull over just ahead of them so I can listen to the Ferraris pass by.

Bob

[SeanPlunk]

Now I have to figure out what next:

-The LA Auto Show which we could attend on either the 5th, 6th, 12th, or 13th.
-Dyno Day at RET on the 12th ($40 for 3 pulls w/no A/F for anyone interested)
-Motorgen December Meet also on the 12th

What do you guys think? Opinions? We do the show in the morning on the 12th, then stop by the dyno day, and then do the meet, but that seems like a lot for one day...

[BRIAN]

Man I missed the cruise, I was sick as shit.


Dyno Day!!!!!!!

[Vettezuki]

. . . .We do the show in the morning on the 12th, then stop by the dyno day, and then do the meet, but that seems like a lot for one day...

Not even I would suggest trying to do three things in one day. :huh: That should be your hint. Two would be a good maximum. enkeivette is doing finals until the 15th, so I don't htink he could make a dyno day on the 12th, and it sure would be a hoot to get him on a dyno. So maybe the show and the meet? BTW, anything special going to debut at the show?

It's not our dyno day, Greg is just having one and I was going to stop by on the way back from LA potentially. We don't have to or anything.

[Vettezuki]

Updated OP with link to vid.

[Douglas Mariani]

GREAT Video Ben :bigthumbsup:

[Vettezuki]

GREAT Video Ben :bigthumbsup:

Thanks Doug. The music at the beginning is:

Doves - Some Cities

Great album! I used it just because it fired up on my CD when starting the car and it seemed like a nice way to segway and cut the first portion.

BTW, gotta love SoCal. Not only can you routinely run into a Lambo (around 2:15), I'm 99% sure the car I'm following from around 5:00" is a 70s era Aston Martin. Great day. The weather turned out beautiful.

[ALIEN3T]

Great cruise.
Thanks SeAN for posting on a MAZDA forum, or i wouldnt have seen it. Glad i did kids and i enjoyed it. I loved that there were people of all ages. everyone had great attitudes. No car hate going on. (that was Very classy to me right there). and just all good times and no child play.)

[SoCalC55]

I just wish I had a video camera when I was on the side of Santiago Canyon Road waiting to meet up with everyone.

When that line of 20+ cars came off Jamboree and took off onto Santiago... so awesome!

[OC4g63]

Now I have to figure out what next:

-The LA Auto Show which we could attend on either the 5th, 6th, 12th, or 13th.
-Dyno Day at RET on the 12th ($40 for 3 pulls w/no A/F for anyone interested)
-Motorgen December Meet also on the 12th

What do you guys think? Opinions? We do the show in the morning on the 12th, then stop by the dyno day, and then do the meet, but that seems like a lot for one day...

Id be up for either. Dyno day would be nice provided is a 4 wheel dyno for all us with our awd training wheels <.< >.> (that would be meh).

[trymev8]

thanks for the invite i had a blast. I am dissappointed none of the other s2k members responded but it is there lost. I am down for a cruise through any canyon (my car is made for that in particular) but i am also down for mellow pch cruises given i do have the convertible. Oh roadsters can be awesome

Yeah, one of the Mustang guys is big on doing a PCH cruise next too.
