Tour D Orange 2014

[kdracer73]

I figure we can meet 8:00-8:15 at the event . We will be meeting my Camaro club at Baker and Pullman, just off the 55 FWY. Then group up for the cruise.
We usually walk over to Five Guys Burger since it is a little less crowded than IN N Out .

[kdracer73]

I promise not pull off in the dirt turn out though!

[Vettezuki]

Congrats Damian! Ben is a helluva good name. Just say'n.

We are trying to find a 6 letter name to keep the tradition going. 3 kids with 6 letter names, 666 is what they will be like together.

Dirt turn offs are bad, very bad.

[Vettezuki]

You have some options . . .

My random selector fell on Dionte for boy and Odelia for girl.

[C5Natie]

Ill be there for sure. My damn car better be done by then.

[mustangray]

I will be there !

[injdinjn]

I always forget, gotta find a way to remind myself.

[kdracer73]

Address we are meeting at is 150 Baker St East.....

[firstshadow]

Can't make it, going to be all the way out in eastvale that day (probably sleeping at the start time).

Have fun, take lots of pics!

[Shaolin Crane]

Meet at 8am? Yeah, I probably will be just getting home then.

[kdracer73]

Why go home?

[Shaolin Crane]

Cause 48 hours awake and driving is no bueno.

[Redondo Jon]

See you in a few days at 150 Baker. Thanks Paul.

[kdracer73]

Looks like 8-10 friends meeting there, should be good !

[Darkstar]

Just registered today but been to a couple of your cruises. Always fun. I will be there.

Welcome aboard Darkstar.

In the interest of total accuracy, technically, this is not a MG cruise (nothing we specifically put on) but a group of many groups really. We'll put our 2014 calendar in a month or two. Stay tuned!

[Redondo Jon]

Hey Paul if you read this tonight great but if not I’ll ask you tomorrow also. When we make the turn onto Jamboree following Santiago Canyon, are we going to shoot straight down Jamboree like last year or follow their map exclusively?

[Darkstar]

As much as I was looking forward to this. I ended up missing it. Spent half the day at the emergency room for food poisoning. :( Really bumbed me out. Cant wait to check out the calenday. Hope something comes up soon.

Yikes man! Hope you're starting to feel better.

[Redondo Jon]

That sucks. We were looking for you & wondering what happened. Hopefully you’ll feel better soon. Even though this cruise / event has turned into a monster it’s still pretty fun.

[kdracer73]

It was a good cruise. A lot more cars this year . I guess 400+? . 8am was a little late though . My buddy on the planning committee saved us spots , but we couldn't get to them. I got good video and pics, but busted the power port on my PC , and barely got one YouTube vid uploaded before it died. Not sure how too link it from my phone! YouTube page kdracer73camaro, Tour D Orange 2014 for searching .

Great pictures Paul.
It was a good run, there was a lot more cars then last year

[PSJohnDoe]

I was looking for you guys, but I didn't see ya. I was there with another group and got there around 7:45. Definitely a fun drive, sorry I didn't get a chance to stop by and say hello.

[GTTS > Some]

Wishing all at Motorgen a safe and fun 2014. I missed another mile marker (1-1-2014) while driving my easy chair in front of the Rose Parade broadcast instead of running Tour-d-Orange with MG, ":•( . Thank you Paul for posting up the pic's and video for the event. I wish the 40/Dodge was further along, but I had to tear it down to the bones and build it back up as it should have been built first off for a safe and correct custom.

Take care MG and hope to see ya-all very soon.

Nice. Triple digits are fun.
What road were you doing catchup on?

Laguna Canyon , Hwy 133. Not triples though, I sped up the video speed a little. 85-90mph.
