This was fun we did it last year...

January 1st 2009 NEW YEARS DAY 6th Annual “Tour d’Orange”. This Orange County Tradition continues with a 9AM departure from the corner of Red Hill and Fischer in Costa Mesa (MAP). Around 200 participants drive this two hour route. Arguably the first car event of the New Year.

Some pict's from last year...

 

Count me in for this event for sure !!!

It was a GREAT time last year

 

Looks like fun for sure! How many did you start out with six years ago???

 

This isn't something we've done as a group for 6 years, it's been going on for 6 years.... At least to the best of my knowledge


Jed, Bill, George ?? did you guys do it in 06 or 07 or earlier ?

 

I'm in. I'll be bringing my car this year so I don't have to ride ***** with Bill.

 

Ditto last year I was a virgin on this run. In fact It was almost my first and last run right George! I had a little incident with a camera around my neck when I did a 90 degree turn. My BFG's and Watts Links save my Azz so I am here to talk about it I guess you can say I had an "Oh Chit" moment!

That's good because I'm 50/50 for this event.

Not sure what line I fed the wife to get this day off from family commitments.

Whatever it was, she may not fall for it twice.

 

I'm already in the chit house from Saturday, even after Jack showed mom the photo Jed took of him smiling and waving good-bye from the GO 'Stang... I've committed to going to Little Tokyo on New Years in traditional garb (kimono for the girls and yugata for the guys). But I wanna go!

 

Don't forget the mochi soup. If I don't have that on NYD, my name is mud for the rest of the year!

 

Hell, at least you don't have to eat that kombu crap that has some kind of candied small (whole) fish inside... I swear, Japanese eat the damdest things. But the wife don't look half-bad in that kimono!

 

Same here. might be working so we'll see

 

I've been forced to join the 50/50 group. After running it by the wife yesterday she didn't seem to thrilled. Like Bill not sure how I got away with it last year.

Dam wives ruin everything.

 

Man with comments like that above…who’s wearing the pants in the house?

Jed

 

says the 50 yr old single man..........

 

well I hope you guys can make it, it wouldn't be the same without you.

 

Jed, you're SINGLE??????????????? Sh_t, that's why you can do all these things!! You don't have to worry about being kicked out of the house you're paying for to sleep in your own car!!

And by the way, it's not who's wearing the pants... It's who's wearing the skirt you can look up!

 

I knew that comment would strike a nerve(s), just messing with you guys that are hitched. Hey there are advantages both ways for sure. I love that last comment Koji, hopefully you can do more than look...if you get permission

Jed

 

Ain't gonna be for a while!

 

So any consensus ?? I'm planning on making the trip... anyone else ?

 

I have to be in Little Tokyo in my traditional Japanese garb to appease my commander-in-chief of the house so no, I cannot participate.
