Oh wow! this is nice. Is this event happening every sunday? This is exactly the kind of things I was looking for.
I was last weekend at streets of willow springs having some fun, but itīs a pity that I donīt know many car enthusiast in LA. Iīm in downtown btw. http://www.macgregor.autoecstasy.com...958_large.html

About the "other" cars, back in Europe I have an Opel speedster turbo (I guess few of you know about this car, itīs like a turbocharged lotus elise. 2.0 260bhp, 900Kgs), a Lancia delta HF integrale evo2 and a seat ibiza cupra R. All of them quite unknown over here.
To complement the porsche, I'm also driving a convertible M3, but besides being way too heavy itīs a lease/borrowed car and I might return it soon.

Would love to see a photo of the Integrale!

Yep Super Car Sunday is EVERY Sunday at that location. Every some weeks they have different "featured" marquees but all are welcome. Definitely check it out. I've seen some AMAZING cars there including Enzo's, CGT's, 1 of only two produced Ford GT X1!!! All kinds of things, you wont be disappointed. A lot of times people will also get together for a fun run through the backroads afterwards.

Wow, yeah we're kinda missing out on a lot of cool cars here in the states. My dad had a white Opel GT when I was about 4 years old. I LOVED that car because it looked like a mini Corvette and loved how the headlights rotated open.

Welcome to LA! A big city with lots of money and lots of driving... which means lots of awesome cars daily driven.

You can get a front plate mount that screws into the front tow hook. Do a google search and you can find some 911-specific products.

In my opinion, the best driving in the area is Malibu. Angeles Crest is also good but I like the ocean views of Malibu. Try this to start from downtown:

10 West, turns into Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica.. Keep driving up the coast past Point Dume and turn right on Decker Rd (Route 23). A very twisty, very technical and scenic climbing canyon road - ends in Westlake, where you can take the 101 back to Malibu Cyn Rd. Turn right and drive back to the ocean

There are hundreds of roads up there but that's a good start.

Welcome. love your GT3, and even more - your integrale.
To those who dont know that car - this is the street version on Lancia's rally car from the late 80's and early 90's
The integrale won the world rally championship for 6 years straight. from 1987 to 1993

Here is a quick review

Thanks to all, Iīll upload the photos later.

So in California itīs a must to have front and rear license plates? Is the rennline support the best solution available?

So I had to go today and take some new ones:
