    Default Bringin' teh Durty to teh Purty - 30+ Pics - No 56K

    Cliffs - Bimmerfest Story Thread


    Day 1:

    I landed @ LAX and went straight to In-N-Out to enjoy a number 1 and a shake. It was very good as expected and off to bed. I spent Thursday working from the road.

    Thursday @ Lunch we went to Porto's to see what if we could find something yummy... found a badass car out front



    Thursday afternoon and night we went to The Rose Bowl and explored around the hills to see what we could get ourselves into. Someone decorates their cacti with fruits



    Dinner Time!





    Bedtime and wait for Friday!

    Day 2

    Friday I got up early and got some Jamba Juice and headed to The M Shop in Glendale to hang out and drop off some products. They had some cool cars there and even had my old car with the motor that I had planned to swap in!

    On the way we caught this gem:


    At The M Shop:






    Friday Night Brought the Real Fun - More In N Out and Dodgers game! At the In-N-Out we caught site of Tony Stewart... driving his NASCAR on the street...



    Dodgers Tickets - Thanks M Shop!



    Our Sview from Mannywood:

    Day 3 - Bimmerfest & DDM Fun

    Got to Teh Fest and got up on the Nitto Trailer with Mike




    Some Cars @ Bimmerfest - More photos to come!










    Then the real fun began for me. Heading South with the Casey, Remo, Paul, Marcus and Leif. I heard rumors of a delicious burrito...

    Gangster...


    No more than 1/4 mile from the Polo Grounds and we have a breakdown...


    Rollin Durty:




    DDM Box Truck Rollin... not really dirty though:


    Chevy Rollin:


    "Dual Quads" put ///M Pipes to shame...


    And we make it to San Diego - Hit DDM Tuning and then to dinner!


    Yes there are french fries in there and YES the California Burrito is fawking AMAZING! Not much left after!




    Bedtime!

    Day 4 - San Diego Tourist Time!

    Woke up and Leif and I rode our bikes to get Fish Tacos on the beach. We hit Pacific Beach for a bit and Casey calls and shows me around San Diego. We hit Mission Beach first to see the sights and sounds. It was a great time!

    Enjoying The Beach:




    Casey and I head downtown and snap some photos of the Navy ships and the statues.



    Catch some artwork done by the locals:


    Head over to the island to see the city from afar:


    Casey's Whizzie:




    Much to my enjoyment - Cali Has Donks!


    Dinner Time - Where to Casey? In-N-Out duh! I have to leave at 7am! On the way we spot something that answers the question... Cali is paying $$$$$$ for reps!


    In-N-Out - Triple/Triple for me and Casey!


    And a taste of the dirty dirty within 2 hours of landing... finish off the trip at the Waffle House:




    In the end the trip was awesome. The generosity(no one would let me pay for my own food) and the new friends I have made are great! Casey I hope you do make it out here! I owe you dinner! Remo it was great meeting with you and next time come to San Diego with us! Leif, thanks for letting me crash on your couch with the door to the beach open. Got 2 great nights of sleep! Marcus, I will call you Tuesday to get my price on the M3 lip...

    That is all for now!

    How was Glendale? Where else did you drive around that area? Did you drive up to Angeles Crest? That place has amazing scenery. I used to live there and all the guys who had BMW's were all Armenian's. No offense. LOL.

    Nah, no indigestion. I am not fat and don't eat bad stuff that much but my body always handles junk well.
