Went out for a little drive today...



Ran into a few people I knew:





And a few more:








SoCal 2nd annual Turkey Run Meet and Potluck, Little Tujunga Canyon, between Sylmar and Santa Clarita.

53 or so cars, at closest count.

Good times. Great weather, though a little chilly - - mid-50's, windy.

Thats awesome, 53 cars at a meet! I never do anything with the local club anymore cause they just meet and talk. Or they're drift kids that belong in 240s...

I have a few more, plus some video I haven't transferred yet. The same cars were at JCCS this year, too - - part of an LA club called "R-Powr."

The cruise got some nice coverage on one of the car culture websites:

http://motormavens.com/2009/11/cover...otary-cruisin/

If you want to see where we met up, use Google Earth or Goolge Maps to go to "34.3601, -118.3935". Then follow the road (Little Tujunga Canyon) south from there to imagine the fun we had driving up from the freeway!

I didn't get any in-car video (driving solo & no in-car mount set up, sadly); I took about 10 mins worth at the 7/11 and up top. Still need to find a sec to transfer it out of the camera and punch it up to the web.

Was that your twin mufflers I was staring into the whole way up?
