This Merkur XR4Ti did a scary job keeping up with us in the twisties


Early morning "Norcal" caravan


Blue masking tape seemed to be the rage this year


Classic BMWs


Even a YELLOW 850


Porsches were there in force too


997TTs everywhere


J and I separated from the caravan to make a visit at Hearst Castle but not before stopping in Big Sur for some yummy quiche


Early morning's mist


More stunning scenery

 

Overlooking the Pacific


Which dominates?


What a pair!


Long way down the highway


Snapshot anyone?


A little touch of color


Blue haze


Elephant seals napping


The long lonely highway and a 997TT


Hearst Castle

The massive pool area


Some of the many ornately decorated bedrooms




My favorite floral arrangement


One of many elegant statues


I loved this indoor pool


New vs old


State Street in Santa Barbara at dusk


We visited the Nethercutt Museum in Sylmar, CA too

 

My favorite Bugatti, the 1931 Type 51/C at the Nethercutt Museum


Rows and rows of classics


A hot lil red Austin Healey


Beautifully decorated display hall


Organ room


My favorite


Some of the more than 5,000 organ pipes




Cannga's beautiful 997TT with HRE P40 wheels

I really liked this color on this M3


One of the attendees posing for me


Which looks better?


Or this?


I think these were almost as big as mine


I thought this M3 was very tastefully done


A new idea to evade the cops?


Close-up

 

Taking a break from driving through one of the 10 most beautiful roads in North America, Mission Road going through the Hunter Liggett military reservation


Hwy 1 can be seen in the distance


Lone Cobalt beast


On the road again


The Cobalt Twins


Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge into Mill Valley


Stopping in Mendocino, CA again


Interesting track car


Well prepped too


Front end

 

My car sans one tailight




Dining room


One of the funny sights I saw on the way home


Finally making it back to Washington after a long stint through Oregon nonstop


And for those of you that were wondering about whether I really drove home without a tailight. No, I didn't want to risk it so when I stopped for gas in Crescent City, CA I managed to find a temporary metric screw to hold the tailight

into place for the trip home. I just picked her up earlier today after all repairs and checkups were made and she's resting in my garage now. I hope to upload some more videos soon.

 

Nice pics Jason. Looks like a fun little drive

 

Thanks for sharing Jason. Must have been a blast!

 

Jason,
Might I suggest a circular polarizer for your lens. It would really help those mid day shots pop more.........

Thanks for sharing.

 

James,

Ironically, I had one..but didn't have it on the lens. Go figure...thanks for the suggestion though. I'll try to use it next time. I used 4 different cameras on this trip alone.

 

After a long trip like that, I'd probably say the hell with it too and just shoot.....

 

This is the best looking girl I saw on that album of yours.

 

Just watch out for that stalker in the bushes there.....

 

of course you like white chicks
