New Year's Day Run - Sunday 1/1/06 (3rd Annual Tour d'Orange)
 

The third annual "Tour d' Orange" will be held again this year. This is similar to the Saturday morning crystal cove meets only with a drive afterwards. Lots of exotics and other rare cars. The Z crew didnt make a good showing last year after doing a little better the year before.

January 1st 2006 The third annual Tour d’Orange. An Orange County canyon tour that will have you back in front of the TV by kickoff time. Approximatly a two hour fun tour through some of OC’s best two lane roads. Find out why more than 150 cars have participated in each of the last two events (2004 & 2005). The best way to start the New Year! Everyone else is sleeping in and the roads are empty! Meet at the Crystal Cove parking lot at 9AM Sunday morning for route maps (Crystal Cove Promanade, the shopping center just south of Corona Del Mar on PCH). No sign up, No charge, everyone is invited. Look for “Herbie the Love Bug”, click HERE for last years story, pictures, and even a movie!

let's get the OC crowd going Scott and we go also

Only problem is I will be up drinking to welcome in the New Year, no way I can getup and be down there at 9 and drive safely doing it.

I was at the 2004 one and it was fun :) I'll go in my AE86 this year :p

Count me in!!!
 

I will be able to make it this year. I made it the first year but missed out last year. If anybody is in to cars, they will definitely like this meet and cruise on Sunday. I went the first year and there were pretty much any make or model of car there! See ya all on Sunday morning.

do we need to sign up?

scott.... could you pls gimme the addy for Crystal Cove?
I'll try to make it if I'm not too drunk. :D

Address for you non OC'ers is:

7957 E Pacific Coast Hwy
Newport Coast 92657

If you are heading south on PCH, you will come to a traffic light and you can make a left or a U turn to enter the parking lot. There probably wont be a lot of Z's so just park anywhere. There are usually a lot of VERY nice cars. Hope you guys can make it, and I really hope it doesnt rain!

sounds sweet
and just in time for me to try out my tt's

looks like it's goin to rain tomorrow.... sux. :(

I'll try to make it if it doesn't rain.

I'll be there rain or shine! It will be great!!! :D

Is this a rain or shine event?
I doubt the exotics will come out in the rain.
I want to see them Carrerra Gt and F430s! :D

Nice and sunny here in the OC !! :D for all those that weren't sure :icon17: see you at Crystal Cove at 8:30 :)

sorry! hope you guys have fun!
(it's great you get the sun in OC... it's overcast where I live)

it was a great cruise! only 3 Z's showed up but plenty of other nice cars :) I didn't see the silverstone Z on the cruise... but ZMAN and steve where both out there repping for the 350's :icon38:

Yea was a nice cruise with a bunch of hot rods. Nice to see a few of us there even though the organizer of this thread didn't show,ha! Just given sh#t DJK.

i had a good time cruising, though at a point everyone took off and i ended up getting lost, but somehow found the way again thanks to my friends (we live around Cooks Corner, so luckily we knew how to navigate, haha). i was the one driving the white 240sx. :D

My bad. I didnt even wake up till like 9:30 :icon14: Where are the pics?
