    Things to do/see . . . Wine tasting at Ledson in Kenwood www.ledson.com is 15 minutes from your hotel . . . Visit the Sonoma square (shopping, wine tasting, food, etc.) only 5 minutes from your hotel. Go to www.infineonraceway.com (even for an hour) check the schedule, it's 20 minutes from the hotel . . . head to the coast, 1 hour and your there . . . book a hot air ballon flight in Napa (very early morning). Visit THE CASTLE in Napa (14 years in the making) www.napavalleycastle.com = aka Castello Di Amorosa. FOOD = www.thegeneralsdaughter.com 2nd = www.cafelahaye.com 5 to 7 minutes from your hotel . . . book ASAP . . . Call them or look & book at www.opentable.com The BEST breakfast is at The Boon Fly Cafe in The Carneros about 20 minutes away www.thecarnerosinn.com click on dining, then Boon Fly, The BEST Eggs Benedict, then off to www.domainecarneros.com (3 minutes from Boon Fly) for a glass of Champagne on the veranda, overlooking The Carneros Region . . . . . . I could go on & on & on & on . . . This has a lot to do with how I've put almost 4,000 miles on the 430 in only 4 months . . . Most of all . . . HAVE FUN and ENJOY LIFE.

    Any chance you were driving down Highway 1 in Carmel during Car week in august and you let me sit in your car? If so I have some great pictures of your car that you might enjoy.

    Chris, yes . . . that was my wife and I. We had stopped to see that stunning bridge on Hwy 1 . . . I think we took a picture or two (with your camera) of you as well in the car !!! We try to let as many people (that show interest) sit in the car as we can. I think I'm giving back for all the times as a Ferrari Fanatic kid growing up, that every Ferrari owner I came across said "don't touch," "stand back," "don't get too close," etc. Rather than "hey, if you'd like, give me your camera, jump in & let me take a picture of you !!!!!!!!!!!!" Hope you enjoyed.

    AFM races this weekend at Sears Point (Infineon) Raceway. $10 to get in and some of the best motorcycle racing you'll ever see. No crowds, GREAT views around the track. Walk around in the pits.

    Sat is the Endurance Race... Sunday is class racing. Sunday is a better day to spectate.

    Opus party was over-the-top. First function for a first class org. We had Opus 81 through 04. As always, the trip wasn't long enough. We absolutely love that part of the country. Thank you everyone for your helpful suggestions.

    ps: Special thanks to CT for your offering to reserve our spots at the French Laundry.

    I believe I saw you several times that weekend: I was in the Mondial T near Sonoma Square: Live a block from there.
