    You know..when I first saw pics of the R8 on the net I always thought it was pretty fugly. The proportions just didn't look right and I always thought the side "blades" were there just to distract you from the fact that it's got a massive rear half. After seeing a black one roll by when I was in LA last month, it definitely has road presence. It's starting to grow on me. :)

    Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. SOOO glad the weather is nice these days.

    Oh and the orange blade on that white one...perfect. Great color combo.

    Another stellar drive, Prancing Horse. Thanks for organizing! And lunch was a blast. Good stories!


    AlexD, we meet at last. Fun to see you emerge from that tiny Lotus -- you're so tall! You take great pics. I'm sorry I missed you at lunch. We'll catch up later.

    Were you folks on Saratoga Ave just before the onramp to Hwy 85 around noon? (How many other caravans with 2 yellow Gallardo's were there going on in the Bay Area this morning ;)). If so I was headed the other way and waved to some of you.

    Great pics Alex, especially the motion blur! Are those the stock wheels on the red 360 or are they 19's? Looks great.

    Yep - actually that's my office building in the background!

    Great drive, and it was great to see everyone. Sorry I couldn't stay for lunch! Next time we will have to leave earlier to try to get to SR on time :)

    Yep Yin - that was us, I gave you the thumbs up :)

    Was that part of this convoy on 85 just past Saratoga on the side of the freeway? Red Viper and a black 430(?)
