Do you know how many Naugas died to meet Subaru's steering wheel demand?

I love running up and down the coast.
I'd alternate each years 2 week vacation between the coast and inland routes.
Don't miss Leggett to the coast. Both directions. Tighter and longer than Panorama.

West Coast trip WA - CA april 2013

Post #23 gets back to the coast after SoCal.

That needs to be prefaced with "Pro Tip:"


Would never have considered it.

I think we all knew that except you!
Way back when, Mrs Ultra told Mrs Tcoat that she was floored that I could drag you onto some ships in the first place.

That was one of the first pics of an actual 86 crash in South Africa.
Quite a way down the cliff and they survived. Quality crash protection.
