Things to do in Los Angeles...
« on: April 13, 2010, 09:40:03 PM »
Hi all,

Spending a few days in LA, and am going to visit the Petersen Museum.

Are there any other gearhead car or motorcycle points-of-interest I
should check out?

Cheers,

Dave

The Merle Norman cosmetics fortune paid for the 250 car Nethercutt car collection. North of Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley.

If you are in Huntington Beach on Saturday morning the Donut Derelicts are a can't miss.
Get there early. 6-9 on Saturday mornings for the last 25 years. It's an informal gathering of everything imaginable. Hot rods to Cobras to . . .
Adams Avenue Donuts, 9015 Adams Avenue , Huntington Beach , CA
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

Good suggestions all, BUT HOW CUM nobody suggested going out the 5 to the 14 to 138 and on to . . .

 EL MIRAGE?

Where it more/less began.

( or the 10 to the 15, etc.)
