Nice!

I usually don't care for the 360 wheels on the Mondial (in fact, I think nothing looks better than the 86 and later stock Mondial wheels) but those look good here. Did you lower the car?

 

Wow nice!!

Bernie hasn't responded to this yet?

 

The latest addition to my Mondial fleet:

1985 QV red/tan vin 57343 - I already have 48133 (1983 Mondial QV coupe) and 51973 (1984 Mondial QV cabriolet)

...and I couldn't resist a shot of the new body shell...

that will look really unique.. gutsy move.
a cool tie-in with the 308-328 sister-series.
Will the door handle be at forward peak of the scoop like the 360? or are you keeping the chrome handle and placing it above it?

Look forward to seeing the final outcome!

Originally I was going to reuse the old door handles at the leading edge of the scoop, but now I am not having exposed door handles at all (hint: you will be able to open the door from inside the scoop)

 

I agree - I'd love to see how that comes out ...

very nice angle on a beautiful car. I think perhaps I should have tinted my windows darker, yours do look so good.

A black T. SWEET

 

Schumi, you did real good! Samantha is awesome.

We'll have to get together in the center of the state sometime. Columbia/Jeff city area. I'll introduce Sera to her. I think we could leave
I-70 a little black n blue!

Sophia says "HI!" to Samantha. Beautiful car. Now the fun begins.
Ciao,
John & Carol

 

That is one seriously nice looking Mondial. Are those HRE wheels?

 

Sophia is doing very well. She complains that she doesn't get out nearly as often as she would like but thoroughly enjoys it when she does get a chance to stretch herlegs. Need to take and post some new pictures.

Please tell Rachel hi from her sister.

Ciao,

John & Carol.

BTW: Where are you located? We're heading back to Laguna Seca for the final ALMS race of the year this coming fall and were wondering if we might arrange a meeting and lie swap.

 

Sadly our schedule won't allow us to get that far south. We arrive in San Jose on Friday and leave for the wilds of central Texas on Sunday morning. However, if you want to try to make it up to Laguna Seca and help us watch the Risi 430GT take the GT2 championship (assuming it takes that late in the season for them to clinch it), the beverages will be on us. Something to think about.
Hope all is well. Sophia beeps "HI!".
Ciao.

 

Great!!!!

We're arriving in San Jose on Friday 19 October at around 10:15 and will head straight for the track. We're staying Friday night at the Comfort Inn in Marina. You might want to consider grabbing a room quickly as we've noticed they are becoming hard to come by.

Plans are to spend Friday at the track and meet some friends who live in the area for dinner Friday night (your attendance is mandatory) then back to the track early Saturday morning. The race starts at 2:45 p.m. Saturday and runs for 4 hours. Neat things about ALMS events include the fact that the paddock is open at all times and the starting grid is opened for the public for about 45 minutes before the start. We'll be heading back to San Jose after the podium festivities

Go to www.laguna-seca.com and look for the Monterey sports car championships. If you bring Rachel (hope so!!!!) you might consider getting a parking pass. Otherwise you will be parking outside the track on what was probably originally a pasture (wolf hill parking) and the "natural" surface might not be totally to her liking.

This sounds great. Hope you can make it. We were at Sebring last weekend and, if it's any indication, the GT2 class is going to be fantastic this year.

Ciao,

Sophia, Carol and John

 

Hank -

Will be visiting my brother (Works for NBC/Universal) in Santa Monica the first week in April?
Is that close to you?
