How do you turn a boring Sunday into an exciting one? Simple, just get in your 997, find a twisty road and DRIVE!

I had a blast today driving in one of the best road No. CA offers. It is called the Bolinas-Faifax drive (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...SPJG197M51.DTL) which consists of what seems to be an endless supply of twisty roads and breathtaking views... The road ends at Highway 1 which I took back home through Stinson Beach. A few drops of rain along the way, but I had SO much fun! PSE was intoxicating and had me drive with the window down despite the cool 50 degrees weather (thank you heated seats). Here are few pics. I actually parked next to a new C4S cab which also had the PSE and some other cool options.

Definitely a must do drive if you live around here or come and visit!

 

As I cancel my insurance and park my car for winter,I see this post.....SHEEESH,there's a bit of salt for a wound,LOL!

Good for you,sounds like a great road..!

Great report! How was the quality of the road surfaces, both the FairFax-Bolinas segment and Hwy 1 down to SF?

 

Drove that this summer on the way back from Napa. It was a great drive. Too bad we didn't have a better car for the cruise.

 

I live in the Bay Area as well. we should put together a list of great drives.

I just got my 997 a few weeks ago and am eager to find new stomping grounds.

 

I suggest we do that offline... through a closed email list. We do not want to publicize backroads...

 

Excellent. I just edited my previous post to remove any incriminating evidence.

 

For the most part of the Fairfax-Bolinas segment, the surface was quite good.... a few bumpy stretches, but nothing major. The road was absolutely deserted due to the less than ideal weather except for a few brave cyclists... The road is quite narrow though so beware.

The Highway 1 drive was blast especially from the end of the prior segment through Stinson Beach- smooth roads and a series of long/fast turns. You are at water level so you feel like you are driving over the ocean. Superb.

We should definitely organize a small caravan and go for drives.

Cheers!

There are no twisty roads in Florida . I did a Sunday drive but unlike yours the roads are actually kinda stressful . I was going to take pictures of my car but didn't and wanted to take pictures of the minivans, SUV's and pickup trucks swerving and driving stupid .. but I didn't.

Instead .. I made it to Delray Beach =1 Hr and took a nice deep breath. It was ovecast but real nice . I took pictures of the ocean , windsurfing , and it then after a bite was ready to drive home .. at night.. in the rain .

I still had fun but i wish I had roads like yours !!!!

 

Larry: you need to come out West.

 

I am thinking eventually of a second place .. a small condo . I like it out there a lot too . I love the roads and have met so many nice folks out there . The Sunday drives woild be great!!!!

 

Too funny. I drove this road in June with the family in the family road trip cruizer ('05 maxima). Entire time I was thinking...wow, this would be insane in the C2S. You are lucky to have that road in striking distance...

BTW...Stinson beach is pretty damn cool...
