Thanks again to the VM crowd! A great route and fun to again be with drivers... The two Porsche 912s were actually 2.7L cars. One (John's) had the 2.7 6 cyl swap and mine had the 2.7L FAT Performance Type IV 4cyl. Outlaws from a different (but Slate Gray) mother...

See u next time...will download and post any good pics of the group. :drive

I forgot to take pictures at the Colony Plaza and remembered at the Rock Store Overlook. Adam's MGB and a lot of skid marks.

Geoff has an interesting parking brake. He had a minor fuel leak, but everything else seemed to be running well.

Gene's 47 MG TC raised from the dead and back on the road again and nothing that we know of fell off. I love that car.

Great pics. I especially like the "aged" photo of the lineup.

Hey Tanny, you really have your technique down for photographing yellow cars. ;)

With the small exception of gravel on Latigo Canyon the run was glorious! Many wonderful roads and Latigo Canyon was fun even with the rooster tail of gravel coming up from Steve's MGC. I kept my distance. :)
The nice thing about having shitty paint on my car, I didn't even flinch with the gravel.

A million thanks to Stewart for helping me get my car sorted. Aside from a fuel leak, my car ran awesome, better than it ever has in my possession. Some of those steep turns on Latigo, I felt like my car would have struggled before, but it pulled well.

Stoked.

Both looked gorgeous, and looked very fun. I've always loved that shape.

http://shop.rockstorephotos.com/p635805 ... #h6d33b04d

On some of our Datsun FunRuns we have put names in a hat and then drew for a lucky winner who received a pic from Paul or Victory Jon. Everyone enjoyed the fun.
Highwayphotos.net was having a sale recently too.
