So, this runs through the snake, right? I need a new picture of me driving the car Also, can we extend this to other Fords? I know a few Fiesta ST and maybe Focus ST guys who would probably want to join us.

And you never know... Jay Leno may show up...

If you are asking me, I have no clue ...you clearly know more than I do! I think I came across that name when researching for the route but don't know specifics. I don't plan on leading...I would be entirely too slow because I am completely unfamiliar with the area, and/or someone would follow me over a cliff or something. Don't think we want that. :headbonk:

No Focuses or Fiestas allowed!! Of course, I jest. ;) The more, the merrier, they say.

That would be kinda cool to see Leno, driving by and waving from a GT-R or something.

Why are you posting? Shouldn't you be out breaking in your gorgeous, spanking new ride?

We will more than likely want to take a break as we head home. I figured this would be a potential resting area: the Malibu Colony Plaza, which we would reach very shortly after getting onto PCH. I calculated the trip there would take about 45 total minutes from Skirball.

http://www.lotsafunmaps.com/Los_Angeles/Malibu_Colony_Plaza.html >>> BTW, Route N9 is Kanan Dume Rd...pinch the map on this site a couple times and you will see where it meets PCH.

Looks like ample parking, with the usual Starbucks, Subway, Ralph's, CVS, etc. Maybe there will even be a celeb intrigued by a lot full of S550s. Wouldn't that be a riot. :headbonk:

Looks like an awesome drive looking forward to meeting everyone and a big thanks to all of you who helped set this up :cheers:

Just be careful on that stretch of PCH in Malibu... Cops love to hide around that shopping center because it's at the end of a downhill stretch. Just a speed trap so as long as you're not speeding, you're good

I have driven all of these canyons many, many times. On my commute home last night I actually took Mulholland for a good stretch exactly as listed on your first map.

For just cruising, Kanan is an OK canyon. There is a stretch through Mulholland that goes past a place called the rock store.. a lot of bikers meet there but you will see super cars driving up through the canyon, it goes through some good canyon roads called the snake and there is a guy who actually takes pictures of all the cars going by and puts it on his website and you can check them out.

I am 99% sure I can make it, just need to double check with my lady to be sure we don't have other plans. I have never done one of these before, sounds like it would be fun!

Most of the canyons pop out to PCH. There are some that are a bit more windy (Decker or Las Flores). Malibu Canyon is also a nice drive and will most likely be less crowded than Kanan as Kanan is the go to canyon to get out to the beach.
