haha orale! It's like the Ortega but a nicer view!

If you're running Live Oak be careful. I live by there and those off camber turns are deceptive. There's a fatality every year thru there as people completely under estimate the road and over estimate their skills. Ortega is way more fun to run as it's much longer but has the CHP on it. Also go slow by the fire authority so as not to attract too much attention.

casmako · 07-22-2013, 05:55 PM

I did a couple runs around it yesterday since it was my first time there, held off while I was going through the neighborhoods. I personally enjoyed the longer turns and less traffic in comparison to Ortega. Thanks for the heads up though!

Had it typed out but didnt know if you were serious lol. Exit left @ El toro (if you're going S on the 5) and follow it til it ends. I dont know what I'm doing after, just a quick run through it. If you're in LA I wouldn't recommend the drive!

Crimson92 · 07-22-2013, 06:58 PM

ha fixed it.

F U msft.

Oh, the villas are AMAZING! I'm jealous! And yeah, we have a factory-provided Super Trofeo Stradale currently. We often take that from dealership to dealership since we run both McLaren and Lamborghini Newport Beach out of the Lamborghini showroom. We always have at least 1 sales person and the receptionist down at McLaren showroom.

Yeah, Aventador is an ass-kicking on every shift when floored. I prefer the McLaren 12C, my god the McLaren is amazing. The way it drives... is just absurd. Lambo is great for what it is, but definitely not as compromising as the LP 700.

Supposed to make me take off perfectly. However it gave us whip lash. Now that I figured out how to engage it I just need to figure out how to make it go without spinning out.
