Went on a drive recently with some friends here in California and got some pics. We ran a local road called Mosquito Ridge, which has over 300 corners in 36 miles.

The road starts at "Foresthill":



Our group at the start of the drive. It ended up being pretty snowy that day (we've had a lot of snow at low elevation recently) so the drive was slow but still a blast:

One of the guys who couldn't make the drive down the snow covered road:



Because of this:



Here we are, 16 miles in at the end of the plowed section. Friends '04 STI in the foreground, my wagon, then a friends 98 OB:



I do love this pic - the road in question drops to the bottom of the canyon to a hydro damn. We drove it last year, they're not kidding - the discs on my brakes were glowing blue at the bottom:



My wagon again:



Wagon Mafia!



All in all, it was an awesome drive. Aside from our loud cars, it was very peaceful at the top. I love fresh snow

 

sweet. where did you get the roofrack spoiler from??

 

Great pictures mate, i had the good fortune to be over in the USA last spring, i drove from Denver through to San Francisco, 3810miles in all...... will be over again in May, but this time i'll be flying in and out of Denver.....

 

I picked that up from a local store we have in the US called 'Rack and Road'. They call it a 'fairing', I think it's 36". I'm not sure where you'd get one online though

 

im gonna have a look online, ive certainly never seen them in the UK.

i presume the stickers were your addition?!!

cracking photos btw!

 

looks like 38" rack and road have an online shop!! are your roof bars round? They state it will only fit round bars. is this true??

 

Luv the 'SPOOOL' plate - quality

 

That looks brilliant. Good to see you all driving in the snow like we have been this last week!

 

did no one else notice what look like bullet holes in that sign?

 

Rather large ones by the looks of it!

Those tyres don't your police look out for offences like this, or is he just playing roulette?

 

If I remember correctly the fairing kit came equipment to mount it up to a square set of bars. I don't think I have that hardware anymore though. If you give me a couple of days I'd be happy to run by Rack and Road and check in person. The fairing will only work with Yakima equipment though. And I added the Wagon Mafia sticker, yes

 

Yeah, the area we were in is a relatively remote one. The residents up there tend to like guns and like shooting them. In fact most of the signs along that road have custom "venting"

I don't think they pay too much attention to the tires. They're R compounds that are street legal but they're worn like that from quite a few track days.

 

cheers that would be great. cant get yakima bars in the UK very easily so looks like i may be out of luck!! if they do them with square bar hardwear then maybe ill order some and try them out!

 

So you have the square bars that are Thule then?

 

Yeh. well very similar. square bars of the same diameter. I know Thule do a fairing but it looks crappy in comparison with the yakima one!!

 

if you could do me a huge favour and measure bars and fairing on your car? that would be great. I think i need 48" bars and 38" fairing (i have a MY2000 classic but i looked that up on yakima site)

ps are your load bars subaru or yakima? i can kinda see a subaru logo or is that on something else?

 

Nice motors there and the pics are

 

Well, I ordered the bars through Subaru when I bought the car, however it's just rebadged Yakima stuff. I'll try to get the measurements late tonight (so tomorrow morning for you ).

 

Great pics...wish we got snow like that


Joe.....

 

OOooooo just notice couple of you guys got those Hella supertone horns hiding away there.....v nice!!

 

Some big Hella horns fitted to them, nice pics especially like the red one

 

some top pics there, looks like a perfect road trip
