Video of TSX driving in the mountains of SoCal

I found this while running a quick search for TSX info near the college I went to. The guy put together a video with an automatic PWP TSX as the subject and the road is Glendora Ridge Road. Check it out. For those of you in SoCal, this would be a great section of road to drive if we had a meet.

The movie is 9MB+ so definitely not 56k friendly.

Not 56K friendly? You can have an OC-192 and its not going to make a different..you will be downloading at dialup speeds.

Thanks for posting that CG! It must have taken a while to put it together.

I think he's hosting from home so it doesn't take much to kill his bandwidth. It's pretty generous of him so give it time....

I'm guessing the guy probably shot it with one camera and just had to get out periodically and have the car driven by to get certain shots. And yeah, sorry about the slow rate, the guy hosting it probably is just hooked to a standard connection at home.

The road itself is quite amazing. I've driven it a number of times myself with various friends as either co-drivers or chase cars. I absolutely love that road and can't wait to take my car up there again. It's about 25 miles total length, from the start in Mt. Baldy to the finish in Glendora, and has some of the most spectacular scenery. Go up late at night and you can see the stars, even when the rest of the region is covered with haze. And on a crisp clear morning, you can see clear to Catalina island from a point nearly 50 miles inland. I highly recommend it for those of you who live in SoCal to check it out.

hey 3pedal, i believe the glendora ridge is aka Angeles Highway north of Pasadena, if you're going up there, take the 5N, 605N, 210W, keep going down 210W til you see exit for Angeles Highway. Then just follow the trail down, you'll be climbing into a mass of mtns, and the roads are really twisty. I took my old subaru there... got scared with the shaky suspension, so I headed back I believe that is where CGtsx2004 is talking about, but correct me if i'm wrong.

It's boring and the camera shakes a lot. My animation videos look better than this.

3Pedal, PM me with the city where you are currently located in SoCal and I will give you detailed instructions on how to get to Glendora Ridge Road as well as detailed instructions on the two paths you can take in the road. Personally, I'd love to get a meet together to run the road. I have a friend in the area who would be happy to drive chase and shoot photos for a meet and possibly segments for a short video. Anyhow, PM me and we'll talk to the others about a meet.
