Karen like the De Lorean also a lot (better than the Calif). Funny enough there was also a De Lorean at the drive on Sunday: As soon as the guy entered the parking lot, up went the driver side door while he was looking for a spot. Once parked, both doors went up... but they are pretty, I agree...but no Flux wandler ignition  | ||

What? No closeups of the DeLorean!? That California is gorgeous. Welcome back--while you were there, I was freezing my 'nads off at Wrigley. | ||

    As promised here some highlights from my trip: The California spider at the Nethercutt Museum, one of 14 built. A 348 Challenge that took part in the Sunday Calif drive. The infamous Drago at Heritage, luckily only one built. The 550 LM at Symbolic. | ||

Jack, no it is brandnew. Looks like the real deal, but is from 'today'. To resume my 'report': Met with a bunch of nice F chatters from around here before they took off for their Sunday drive. The Don, Jean-Louis and Ron plus a bunch of guys I didn't remember the names (sorry). They had a nice turnout for their event, 308/GT4, 308, 328, 348, 355, 360, Mondial, TR and F40. Aside from a bunch of P cars and a Lambo Diablo and a Viper. Pretty impressive stuff and I was happy to be instantly welcome. Nice guys! Once I'm back, I'll post some pictures. | ||

Andreas, was it from the era, or is it a new, painted helmet? The '79 and '82 repros I've seen are priced around $2K!! | ||

Oh, one more thing about Exoticar, just for Jack: They have a Gilles Villeneuve replica helmet for $ 575. It is of course a real race helmet, that meets all requirements. Things like that aren't in their catalogue and the reason I like to visit their few shops in person (luckily the one in NY is just across the street from our office). BTW: They also had some other replica helmets like Fisichella and Alesi. Another off thing were the oversized Ferrari perfum bottles, but at 500 a piece I had to withdraw. | ||

Wanted to give you guys a quick update on my trip. The cool thing about LA is, that you see as many F cars in a day as in an entire month in the Midwest or more: Went to the Nethercutt Museum to 'visit' a California Spider of which only 14 were built, pretty cool stuff. Then I went to the LA Gallery, a huge P, F and Audi dealer. Unfortunately they had most of their F cars at an auction in Las Vegas, but still some left in the lot. Just sold another Enzo to a customer in the area (I got his name, but won't post it here). Finally I went to Beverly Hills, where just on the street I met a 360 and a 550. At our hotel a Mondial parks...Went to Exoticar, but they didn't have the newest F cars yet, so I'll return empty handed in regards to the new 1/18 308 or 550GT. Oh well. Tomorrow I'm gonna meet the local F chat crowd. Stay tuned. |
