It is street driving and we all have to play it safe ... save the 10/10ths running for the track..

Nice vid..

+1...canyons are for having some fun but not getting crazy...you have to consider potential bumps, dips, holes, pedestrians, other cars, unknown turns and cliffs!

Yup exactly. Not sure if it will make the final cut but we ended up seeing a few people on horses on the canyon street. So when we saw that we slowed down while they all stared at us lol.

It was after the 12/4 Motor4Toys charity event + BMW car cruise. You should start coming out to those 818 meets! I believe next week we will have a Midori Sushi Meet. Probably no canyon run though since everyone ends up stuffing themselves so full of all you can eat sushi that they don't want to drive through the canyons afterwords. But it isn't 100% confirmed since no thread has been made yet lol.

Cold Canyon! I live right off that road lol. I assume you took a left, ran up Piuma Rd, back down on Stunt Rd, and completed the loop through Mulholland. Try it if not, it's simply amazing. (btw 0:40 is Will Smith's house)
