    Decided to take a daytrip and ran the 103 Mile Expanse of the PCH from Cambria to Monterey...had a blast!

    well warm is a relative term...it was in the low 50s...it was an almost 20 degree difference depending on what side of the mountains you were on...i also put a couple gallons of gas in on the trip and was the most expensive gas ive ever paid for...91 octane at 5.95 a gallon

    This looks like the stretch just south of San Francisco, near the new Devil's Slide tunnel. I live at the top of the hill, looking down on the PCH, near Pacifica.

    Very nice pics. If I were order a new MINI, this looks a lot like my spec.

    :cornut: I've just got to visit my son and Firebro 17 out in CA. Will my TX tags and Life Member NRA badges lead to multiple cop stops?:Thumbsup:

    You should be fine Jason... Our CHP realize you can't smuggle any illegals in a MINI, and they're not profiling Texans this year anyway.
