Malibu Canyon This Sunday

On my way back from Rusnak Westlake this evening (they have two X50s available), I did some reconnaissance in order to locate a new meeting spot for weekend drives in Malibu -- a spot that will accommodate a larger group of cars. Las Virgenes/Malibu Canyon Exit If you exit the Ventura Freeway at Las Virgenes/Malibu Canyon, go one block west, and turn right on Agura Road, there is an Albertsons Supermarket right there -- the large parking lot would make a fine meeting place -- we could meet at the corner of the parking lot immediately adjacent to the McDonalds. Kanan Exit There is a Chevron Station and Jack-In-The-Box (�JITB�) immediately adjacent to the Kanan exit. In between the Chevron Station and the JITB is an entrance to the �Kanan Village� shopping center located behind the Chevron Station and the JITB (there is an I-HOP behind the Chevron Station). We could meet in this parking lot, in front of the strip of stores including Sundance Cycles, Pool & Spa, Chinese Food, and Agura Liqueur. BTW, I was mistaken about the 76 Station with 100 octane gas being at Kanan -- it is actually adjacent to the Chesebro exit, one exit east of Kanan. Personally, I think the Albertsons parking lot may be the better choice simply because, as far as I know, there are more driving options accessed from Malibu Canyon, as opposed to Kanan (although Latigo is off of Kanan). Moreover, some of the great roads (e.g., Shunt and Schureon) are actually east of Malibu Canyon and, thus, a trek from Kanan. If we elect to drive Latigo, or one of the other roads accessed off of Kanan, we can drive to Kanan via either Mulhulland or 3 mins on the Ventura freeway. I propose 7:30 am on Sunday, at the corner of the Albersons parking lot adjacent to McDonalds. Who is in? Craig (L.A.)

I'm good for Sunday. On Saturday there is a PCA rally up to the Auga Dulce Winery that I'm doing. Anybody doing that run? Craig, let me / us know about Sunday.

Pesto, We are a go for Sunday. We should have between five and ten drivers -- all are either members here, FunCars, or both. See you at 7:30 am. Craig (L.A.)

Craig, Sounds great!.. Albertsons (Malibu Exit)?

Pesto, Exit the Ventura Freeway at Las Virgenes/Malibu Canyon, go one block west, and turn right on Agura Road. There is an Albertsons Supermarket right there. We are meeting at the corner of the parking lot immediately adjacent to the McDonalds. See you there. Craig

So jealous of you guys and your spectacular drives on twisty scenic roads. <img src="graemlins/cussing.gif" border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" /> (do not really know how scenic Mailibu Canyon is) Here in S. Florida all I can hope for is a scenic drive through the Everglades... ~100 miles of straight road through the swamp,where the only reason to turn the wheel or brake sharply is for a gator crossing the road. Wish I was there. <img src="graemlins/bigok.gif" border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" />

Are Porsche newbies like myself allowed in? I'd be driving from Santa Barbara.

OrangeMarlin, Everyone is welcome. Please join us. Its a great opportunity to meet other enthusiasts, put faces behind names, share war stories, check out other cars, and drive some great roads. I'll see you on Sunday! Craig (L.A.)
