Los Angeles Canyon Run?

Alright, as fun as our meets are, I say we get more "involved."

Anyone down for a Canyon Run? Like the Malibu Canyons or some other locale in LA?

We can meet up on Sunday morning(-ish) take a drive and then have lunch or something.

Thoughts?

Ohh you mean after the Euro meet huh? I dunno bro I think it's better to do a Canyon run at the Euro meet, like after a few hours or before dunno whichever..

I'm down for JUST a Canyon run though, would LOVE to do those

Haha Vasir what's the fastest top speed you hit in that S320 of yours?

lol in the s320? going from san fran back home to sac on the 5 i hit 135-140ish. our run back home, i did 140 at one point with you trying to catch up to vic, alex, and pham. lol.

in my s600 i hit 140 as well.. i dunno what the limit is..but if the limit is higher, or there isnt one..i wouldnt be too shocked if i got 160 or more out of it.

the clk55, i hit 120. yeah..i know, a shame. lol. i just never had enough opportunities to pull it off in that car.

haha I was just wondering cause after we finally passed the Porsche who was blocking us it was top speed time and I looked down and noticed I hit 135 reasonably very quick then I hit the brakes cause I caught up quick to Vic, Alex and Pham, LOL then I saw you flying too in my rear view mirror, I was like "DAMN LOOK AT THE S320 GO!"

I already know the limit on mine, it's 140 I know damn well it's faster then that, it has alot of *****, Vic on the other hand...he does Mach 1 instantaneously.

I was thinking of something sooner, I'm getting the itch... if you want to do June 10th, we can actually meet up with M3forum they're doing their monthly run (it starts out in the valley though) that day.

lol, I'm down!

Whatever works for all of us, I wouldn't mind either if we did it early before June, cause I myself am a itchy person as well, but whatever goes with the flow I'll go with it.

I would go. Sounds like fun. But if you bring your M3, all beats are off. It'll become bumper cars.....Or, I'll bring my Fiat.
