The color is Rosso Mugello. It is absolutely beautiful, but hard to capture the true color. I was blown away by the color.. perhaps my next Ferrari will not be black after all! I think it is similar the the rosso barchetta on the F355. Here are a couple of other pics, hopefully with better color.

This slideshow gives a good sense of the disparity between the SF and the LA auto show.

Great drive, everyone. Thanks for coming out on a Sunday!

Butcher, Chrigel, Da12, D.C., drchako, SKUSA, ... you guys were missed!

Tony and Maestro, thanks for joining us today. (And, no, we don't always get traffic lock-downs for our departures!) But it's still lots of fun. Hope you will come out again soon.

 

traffic lock down was EPIC.....

 

Joe another great drive, K you must know all the right people to get us a crossing guard for our exit. Dr. italiani fun having you as co pilot. What a group of great people and nice weather. See you nent time. Gavin

 

Sounds like a great drive. Sorry I had to miss it. I am looking forward to some pics!

 

...has already shown his admiration for the Challenger....

And then decided THIS was the best way to be at the front of any and all future FOG drives....

Wish I could have made it, to many family obligations on this particular Sunday.

 

Great turn out with lock-downs were awesome. Thanks Joe and guys...

 

Thanks for organizing such a great drive, Joe! I know driving a Ferrari is fun, but I didn't know it could be this much fun! My Dad had a blast, too, although he asked for me to take it slow on the drive home.

Even though I didn't know anyone, I felt quite welcome right away. Everyone's very friendly, and some went as far as complimenting my Mondial, despite her rough paint and duct-taped rag top! Would you believe that?

I forgot to bring my camera, so all I have are a few cell phone pictures. Here's my favorite.

I'll definitely be back for another drive... but I've got a couple coolant leaks that need attention.

Seeing the Mondial in person the cab forward design compares quite favorably with that of modern mid-engined cars. And it's nice to see the full compliment of instruments in the dashboard and all the clever touches like the storage compartments above the rear seat seatbelts. Your dad was definately the best dressed man on this trip.

 

Italiani, By all the campfire stories I've heard from you, I would imagine you would be more accustomed to sitting in the back of that car...ha ha...

Chrigel and and I were sorry we missed it. Hope the weather holds up well for the next one.

 

Sorry to miss this one. Beautiful weather and looks like a great drive. But I blew my time budgeted to cars this weekend on the car show and had family and other commitments this morning. That pic of Dr. Italiani behind the wheel of the cruiser had me doing a double-take. Better behind the wheel than in front of the red lights, I guess!

 

I'll PM you on your question

 

to all my ferrari brothers - thanks once again for a memorable drive and great company. these just keep getting better & better!

-T

 

painfully true....It was the Caprice's I was most aquatinted with though...

Missed you today Butcher, and the 355 Symphony of sound...

 

Had a great time. I must say, the synergy of the group is very impressive. Thank you for inviting me.

 

It was great seeing you on a drive Tony! Hope to see you and Maestro at the Holiday Party.
