Ya I took that road a few months ago. Great for the occasion e-brake for sure!! What suspension did you just put on? I still have my back seats out from the walbro install, so I am playing with the Konis every few trips.
A friend and I took the Petrolia loop Saturday...but instead of coming out at Founders Grove, we came out at Redway on the Shelter Cove road. Dude, it was a SICK drive. Great road (Except from Ferndale to Petrolia), wide corners except for a few spots...and no dope growers blocking off the road this time of year. Very few vehicles out, and as long as you are not a jerk they pull over for you.

BE CAREFUL ebraking in your car. My center diff disengages when the ebrake is pulled. Your's, not so much.
Like I said Paul from Nader is down for drives, with 4-5 of us it will a prefect sized group. I am always down for more but I am sure you know what I mean. Don't worry about the dope growers, I got a ghetto pass

Blinguskahn lol. Glad you could "escape" 
It can be dull around here...luckily I like slow and dull lol
Ya, I generally avoid the e-brake unless I am about to crash lol
Damn you and your STI. I decided I should have bought one about the time I dumped a ton into my car lol. No regrets tho, I will just do a full swap LOL. Nah, but I will eventually do either a 6 speed swap or get some PPGs.

I am down for whatever. Took the Mattole road last weekend, but it is pretty nice from Whitethorn to Redway, except for about a mile of gravel gong up a hill outside of Whitethorn.
Never been between Kneeland and Bridgeville.
Cannot go wrong either way.

We can go from N. to S. so we will start in Eka, go up to Kneeland then out to Bridgeville. Then it is 30 miles of fun corners back on the 36 to the 101. Then you are home and I will cruise back up the 101 to eka.
IIRC it takes about 1hrs to 1:15 min to get from Kneeland to Bridgeville. I suggest you google earth the route. So this will be about 2hrs of spirited driving.
Sat or Sun work better for you? I will see if Paul from Nader is down to go to. I just sold him my rear sway links and my stock catback so I am sure he wants to put them on b4 we go. But he is a mechanic w/air tools so he should be just fine.

ya, sounds great. I often take the trip from here to Bridgeville for a quick bit of fun. It is actually on my way to work.
I will try and get a friend or 2 to tag along as well.
Either day is good for me. I need to swap out my coolant hoses and thermostat sometime, and as soon as I get a good deal on a turbo inlet I will swap in the new turbo.

if it gets too late we could go Sunday. I was reminded that I am helping some friends move tomorrow, so later tomorrow or Sunday works for me. Moving should not take too long. I dunno....give me a call when you are done @ the stereo place.
