Default a moonlight drive

Wow, I just got back from an awesome drive down PCH with a full moon out. The moonlight glistening off the waves was a fantastic sight. Can't believe I drove all the way down to Dana Point from Costa Mesa!! It's quite exhilarating while cruisin' in the A3 with the Navi+ showing stretches of road with a big patch of blue on most of the screen. :-) Oh and no other A3s on the road for the record...hehe

Default It's almost surreal when seeing it!

There's some fantastic scenic spots down here as you probably know. Straight out of a movie.

Default One of my favourite things to do when I lived there. How about that little beach in

Corona Del Mar, tucked down a steep path behind the 5 Crowns pub? Watching sunset on the San Clemente pier while the trains pass behind you and people gather around bonfires on the beach?

Used to wash my car, then drive out to Salt Creek Beach next to the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel and wax and detail it in the shade under the trees while the ocean breeze came up the hill to cool me. Later a dip in the sea.

Sigh, I miss OC.

Default That's so funny because Corona del Mar is exactly

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/92030/regis3.jpg"></center><p>where I was talking about!! Yep behind the 5 crowns pub and there's that path that goes down to the beach. That lookout point where there's a couple of park benches has the most gorgeous sight I've seen. Lastnight I couldn't believe the awesome view of the crashing waves. Btw, I've yet to go inside the pub.

I often go to Salt Creek Beach too. If you check a couple of the photos in my gallery you'll notice the backdrop is the Ritz Carlton. A few pics have been taken at St. Moritz too (sp?).

What can I say..OC rocks! Haha.

Default I know what you mean. You gotta be like Paparazzi

when taking snapshots over there:-) I was given a couple of looks but I just ignored them. They didn't shoo me away luckily because I didn't spend too much time. Did that with the M3 also.
