turboT Posted 18May, 2016 Report Share Posted 18May, 2016 Just booked flights to LA to go and check out my latest purchase before shipping it back to OZ. Arrive early Thursday Morning on the 2nd of June. Leave the evening of the 5th. So I have a Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Part Sunday to fill. Hopefully confirm by tomorrow when I am meeting up with the bearded gent, but looking for P-car related activities to fill the day. Any ideas/suggestions/contacts would be appreciated for:shops to visitshowrooms to visitswap meetsdrives to go onparts places to digetc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-S Posted 18May, 2016 Report Share Posted 18May, 2016 I'm sure he'll point you in the right direction of roads (I'm thinking of doing the Angeles Crest Highway on Thursday, maybe late Wednesday if we get there from Monterey in time) but perhaps a quick trip to Pelican Parts will be in order or LA Dismantlers....I actually just want to see DTLA, it's 10 years since we were last in LA (other than passing through LAX) so I'm keen to see the difference in artistry and architecture. Your man Magnus has a lot to answer for with that!I daren't go to any dealers or builders, it would get messy dealing with a divorce as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 19May, 2016 Report Share Posted 19May, 2016 Petersen museum refurb is apparently a must. It was great before as well...yeah came to say this. Though I haven't been yet. Also check when next pelican parts cars and coffee on. An interesting diversion in LA is the Getty museum off the 405. For someone interested in interiors it's a must-see.

Coastr Posted 20May, 2016 Report Share Posted 20May, 2016 On the topic of LA... Currently there in the airline lounge waiting for boarding, Hic.i can put together a rough driving route of some good roads if you will get the chance in your black beast. Up the PCH, through some canyons and along Mulholland. Nothing serious, just a few hours of nice roads in a big city. You won't believe what great roads exist in the middle of a metropolis.hic.
