we be taking the 10 or the 210 east from West LA to the 15 then north.  Lets just keep it at the 138 and I-15.

You are obviously driving the yellow GTS, anyone else towing their car, beside Greg?  Where can one get a trailer?  Most people own their own or do they rent?  I suspec they probably own, but I have no place to store one.

Dave,

Ever get up to La Costa for dinner, drinks etc?  Old friend of mine is now the bar tender at the Blue Fire Bar and Grill.  Use to be the haed bartender at the Halekulani in Honolulu for 15 years,  Name is Robert, if you ever get there, say hello from me.

So Big D,  1-15 and the 138  or  On top at Hesperia at the IN & Out burger joint?   

Dave

Have you or anyone else heard of the new 2008 Viper ZC?  Found a couple of websites I listed under "General Discussion" concerning the fact that there will be no 2007 Viper, production starts January 2007 on the 2008 Viper ZC.  I have yet to find an image of this new concept car.  Guess the 427 Vette is giving the Viper guys some headaches!

Here are a couple of Viper Web Sites and information about the new Viper ZC coming in 2008.  Apparently there will be no 2007 viper?  Redesign and updating is planned for 2008.  Production is rumored to begin January 2007.

Dave,

I15 and the 138 is great, the other place would be the Hisperia exit to In & Out drive in.  Restrooms and place to grab some really nutritious food,  hee hee.  You call it,

Option for the Hisperia off the I-15 at the In & Out is that you are finally out of the Valley and the Cajon Pass, and it is horizontal cruising after that to Vegas.  The pass always seems crowded with heavy trucks to keep everyone together.  But as I said, Big D, you call the meeting place.

Dave,


Have not received any emails in days, you have to hit "send"

Dave

Are you alive?  Can't seem to get you on line here!  You must be hanging out at Hooter's eh?  When is the next Hooter's Run?

EJ

send me an email or a post so I know you didn't crash your GTS!

EXHLR8N,

Pics were just posted, picked this up last Friday, then left town, only really got to drive it yesterday and today.  Most amazing car I have ever been in without a doubt.  To difficult to describe how it handles!  It is a dream car.  Hope you are well, would likle to see your Black SRT-10 at an event sometime,  seems like a long time ago The SB Cruise with the ill fated trafic jam on the north 101!   Maybe this month if you are planning on any Viper events.

Dave,

After 300 miles I think I am appreciating this car.  What an amazing machine.  It is so fast, so solid, low, and simply a pleasure to drive.  High speed turns are effortless.  It is a cut above the viper.  Not that the Viper is anything less than a marvelous car, but this is a race car, no question.  The whine of the supercharger is amazing.  Frame is super stiff, the cornering is difficult to describe but I suspect 3 X the posted speed on any corner would be no problem.  Everytime I park it crowds appears to look at it.  Super fast, and so well designed, the engine compartment is most excellent.

I won't need any help breaking it in !!

EJ

Dave,

It appears that the 20th is the Nevada Silver State Challenge weekend.  Keep the date as is or move it to the 14th?

Is there any viper event that Dave "RaceCars" Cawthorne is not interested in??  Duh!

EJ

Isn't this web site starting to ROCK ?

Nice to see this web site finally getting up to speed.  Members interacting and setting up great ideas like this Foose Event, well done !  This makes it easy to keep up to date with club and regional events and interact with club members.   :

Loving it!

[Flo's Restaurant at the Chino Airport]

Flo's Restaurant at the Chino Airport[/color] is a great little diner and has
the reputation of having the best "Sausage and Bisquits with Gravey[/i][/u][/b]" in the west.

Anyone interested in having a Viper get together at Flo's,  May 20, 8 AM at the Chino Airport.  They have a large open parking lot and there is also the option of seeing the vintage plane museum at the Chino Airport afterwards.  This would not be an official event but just a get together, good time to run the snakes, let them breath a little So Cal Spring time air, burn some petroleum and just see who survived the winter?

If you are interested, leave a reply.  Easy to do, simply hit the "reply" button above, type in your message and post it.  If we get enough members interested then we can go with it.

"You need to joint our group "

If I join your group, I will be discrminated against because of being a West LA Viper Owner and not living below the Orange County Line (brings to mind "crossing the Rubicon  -  http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/caesar.htm " type situations) !!!  However, it is tempting!  You need another race yellow viper on San Diego County roads!  That's a long way to go, with tons of traffic, but it is a good reason to get the Viper off its butt and on the road.  You guys ever been to the Barossa Valley Inn Casino for a run or an over night?  San Diego Vipers ROCK, fer sure!

I will get my camera out and post some new pics.  I had my Cannon 20D stolen last year, cops found it at a pawn shop in downtown LA, they are sending me a notice so I can go and pick it up.  So now I have two Cannon 20D cameras, with two Tamron 28-300 lenses.
