Sunday morning drive: PuristS do some canyon carving on Angeles Crest Highway
PuristSPro moderator Don Corson and his lovely Frau, Gabriele, visited Los Angeles over Easter weekend.
In typical PuristS' fashion, local PuristS feted them with fine food and wine at Capital Grill (see report on TimeOut)
The next morning, despite the 7 bottles of wine the night before (plus an interesting flight of American whiskey) a smaller group of hardcore locals
took to Angeles Crest Highway to show our Swiss friends that yes, there are fine driving roads in Southern California.
Our platform still doesn't like iOS so unfortunately picture uploading is unbearably cumbersome; hopefully the app will be released soon.
Cheers,
TM

A (few) more pictures
Hopefully some of the other PuristS can add some comments, thoughts, pictures. Some beautiful mountain roads in pretty decent condition. Herr und Frau Corson enjoying the famed SoCal weather Newcombs Ranch - it looks like a biker hangout, and it is. The o...
Wish I could've joined y'all, Thomas! . . .
. . . that would've been loads of fun. Can I make up for it with an invite to an interesting spot in my neck of the woods? Fish 'n chips with a view that's tough to match. Nice drive, too . . .
Cliff House Inn, between Ventura . . .
. . . and Santa Barbara. You've probably driven past it a hundred times; if you like fish 'n chips and love the ocean, this could be the best place anywhere to enjoy both. Gotta be a weekday in the early afternoon, 'cause they close the restaurant at 3:00...
Of course, Ed! Early afternoon on any weekday . . .
. . . other than Friday due to heavier-than-usual traffic that seems to afflict us at the end of the work week.
A few more pics of our Sunday morning drive to ACH
Great drive even for a early Sunday morning. Definitely worth waking up for.... And we were rewarded for some beautiful weather, good food, and great friends to enjoy the drive! Here's a few more pics: Playing with my iphone camera and taking a panoramic ...
Thanks for the additional pics! It was another elic drive...
You know, I keep thinking about Angeles Crest vs Mil Portrero vs Mulholland over in Malibu...Angeles Crest seems safest with the most strategically placed runoffs, but for the sheer views and variety of landscapes Mil Portrero is hard to beat. Looking for...
Thanks for the signposts
Looks like a wonderful morning drive in great weather. PuristS are a tough bunch and never miss an opportunity to enjoy the good things in life. Even after a late night out. Thanks for the few signposts in the pictures which allowed me to find where you g...
Had a blast...
Saw the proof that LA has beautiful driving venues and had a great "car tasting". Porsche, Corvette and FR-S, all very different, each with its own character, each fun in its own way. Now we do a repeat presentation in Switzerland. Ready to go guys? Don
