Default 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.

Taken from bench-racing.com:

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!

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!

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.
