Growing up in Pasadena - not far from Dave, I took many a drive up Angeles
Crest Hwy in my original '67 Mk3. Great fun. Better make sure you've got
plenty of extra coolant and a spare radiator hose if the weather is hot or
your car runs hot to begin with. It's about an 8,000 foot climb to the top
of Mt. Wilson as I recall, but if the weather is clear, there is no better
view of Southern California than this!!
Best wishes,
