Hey Robert, isn't that at the Santa Barbara Polo Club? If so, I have asked them when it was gonna be held, and the dingbat on the phone had no clue. That would be a great place for a meet. If I recall correctly the Polo games on Sundays are open to the public.

Marty,

You eyes are getting bad. The thread is SO CAL spotters, not "Pac North West Ferrari's driving below the speed limit"

Great non-Ferrari spotting today!

I was on the freeway with 427 Cobra s/n CSX4155 (newer 4000 series factory repro, dashboard autographed by the man himself) and another unidentified Cobra with 427-style body, green w/yellow racing stripes, and license plate "COBRA15." As soon as I got on the freeway (101 S), I spotted them in the rear view mirror. I slowed, rolled down my window, and let them pass. What a sound! I followed them onto the 405 N and stayed with them a little while. I could actually smell them (love that smell!) until I just couldn't drive that slow any longer and had to leave.

Ah, almost forgot, silver/tan 360 spider F1 top down parked on 29th street over hear by SC just down the street from my apt today.

Also, last week (Sun. I believe) a black F355 GTS (top off) on the 405 S (I was goin north). And a silver Vanquish turning onto Pier Ave. (Hermosa) from PCH. Been seeing a lot of Z8s recently too, kinda odd, I see more Ferraris than do those Z8s, but I'm not sorry about that.

No cause it wasn't a 355, it was a 348. The traffic was stop and go, and when I got next to her, I asked her if she was on the web and she said no. But then I realized what she was thinking I was asking, so I asked if she had internet access. She said, ooooooh yeah I do. HAHHAAAHAA. Anyway I told her about the site and she hadn't heard of it.

ALright NOT QUITE SO CAL & Not Quite Ferrari.
In New York 1 block away from the W Hotel on Lexington they were photographing a new yellow Lamborguini Gallardo. It looked awesome in person. The only thing that I did not know is that the doors open regular- not like a traditional countach/diablo. It was just going up and down the street for at least 1 hour.
