Thanks for the pic. I'm a new owner and I love this kind of stuff. Makes for great garage decoration. If you have or know of any others, please post.

Sunday morning joy ride. Beautiful southern CA, driving up on Angeles Crest make me grin like a teenager.

I know. BTW Los Angeles also have the world famous traffic jamssssss. It is not perfect, but every Sunday morning 6am driving around Angeles Crest is as good as it gets.
Happy motoring.

Is Angeles Crest aka Highway 2?

I had the pleasure of driving H2 from Wrightwood back to Pasadena. Made it at least 2/3rds of the way back before getting stuck behind a clueless, or arrogant, Harley rider.

Still loads of fun, at least for the driver. Around 50 miles of delicious twisties.

Yes, Angeles Crest is H2. You will need to get there before 8am on Sunday morning otherwise there are too many riders (either they are too slow to block the road, or too fast and tailgating me ). It is a fun road and totally worth it (getting up early on Sunday morning).

I haven't been able to take any pictures for a while... Me and my Roadster have been separated. I am out of town and my wife has it at home. She came came to visit last weekend and brought my car! We went sightseeing around the Black Hills and the Needles Highway was a blast! These wider stickier tires seem to keep the car on track on seemingly impossibly sharp turns!

I really need to get out to one of the SCMM events!

This is my new faithful companion, fresh off the lot... Obviously, I need to get out of the city a bit more to take some more worthy photos!

Congratulations on the beautiful car Trager. It looks quite a bit like the Roadster I have on order. Hoping to post photos in mid-July when she arrives. :-)

Went from a Countryman to this!

I just picked up my new Roadster last week after waiting about 10 weeks for it to be built. Loving it so far....if it would only stop raining everyday so I can leave the roof down.

Congrats, Mr. Slice. You're a true Roadster owner when you start complaining about the rain.
