Unfortunately the CHP messed with some of us near the end in and around San Juan Capistrano but it wasn't our fault.

For sure, a great time!

I'd love to come back amd do it again soon.. So Cal is endlessly fun and fascinating. Even more if yu love driving fast Mercedes autmobiles...

Thanks Roland for sweating all the details and having the San Diego crew join in. I counted 22 cars, that is a great turnout.

Glad I could make it down from Nor Cal for this one.

Jim
Jim, Thanks for making it to the cruise. I cant believe you made the drive from up north. That is dedication! Definitely glad you made it out and enjoyed it. Ill catch you at the next one!
