I'm starting to plan a drive up or down the coast along Highway 1. This is what I want to do for my 40th, just me, my wife and my '91 Carrera. I'm looking for tips/recommendations and some answers to some questions please!
I grew up in SoCal- Newport. I've been up the coast but not on a drive stopping in cool places and enjoying the scenery and driving. Part of the want is having my car and enjoying the drive. We no longer live in California, so I will be shipping the car there and back. Flying in and out.
-What is recommended, driving north or south? Does it really make a difference?
-Best time of the year? keeping in mind we're in a '91 Carrera- A/C was an after thought, heat is so so. My wife will complain... She's already said "were will my luggage go? You don't have a stereo in that car?" Me: Hunny, I'll put a stereo back in it, pack light.
-We'll start or end in south OC. How far north would you go? In my mind we could start or end in Napa (would make the wife happy and could have friends meet us there)
-Some stops I want to make; Malibu, Santa Barbara, Pismo, Santa Maria, Morro Bay, Big Sur, Monterey, Carmel, Santa Cruz, Half Moon Bay, Golden Gate, Napa and then?
-Thinking about spreading this out over one week. Thoughts on that? Most places we would only stay a night. Big Sur we might want two nights, same with Napa.
-Any solid Porsche shops in san fran or Napa Valley area? Will need a place to either deliver to or have the car picked up from.
Whats the peanut gallery think?
