Whittier White Knuckle Run 2/24/07

The MOALA Whittier White Knuckle run is scheduled for Saturday February 24. We will be meeting at the Starbuck's on the corner of Beverly and Norwalk in Whittier (5403 Norwalk Blvd) around 8:30 am with an approximate departure time of 9am.

The Whittier White Knuckle run is an exciting drive through the hills of Whittier, La Habra Heights, and Hacienda Heights and features sharp turns, sudden drops, and fantastic views.

We will also be making a brief stop at the Hsi Lai Buddhist Temple. Those that are interested will be allowed to wander around the grounds and gardens on their own. Sandals, mini skirts, and shorts are allowed on the grounds and in the gardens, but not inside the temple.

Weather Permiting, you guys may have a few "outsiders" showing up, including me. (note: i use the term "outsiders" jokingly! it'll be good to meet some more MINIacs!)

Outsiders are ALWAYS welcome. And weather.com still says it's going to be sunny on Saturday.

hey y'all... sorry i didn't make it out to the run today. but i had a good excuse- i got a rear sway bar installed- for free even! (the install, not the bar). i'm sure it was a lot of fun and hopefully we'll see some photos soon.

Aw, you missed out! There were almost 30 Mini's and MINI's in attendance. The weather was perfect. The roads and views were amazing.

And now that you have that sway bar installed, you'll have no excuse for missing our next run...and you'll want to test out that bar anyway, right?

It's a good thing the run was Saturday and not Sunday. The weather was crappy yesterday.

Anyway, here are some links to pictures from the run so you can see what you missed. We look forward to seeing you there next time.
