The Official Bay Area Ferrari Owners Group (FOG) Rally & Breakfast

007,

Beautiful!
I'm talking the pics with you and S as well as of the Nero Bella from Maranello.

 

When I was filling up at Chevron, I was wondering why this red loud "Pantera" driving by was honking at me. When you hear unseen hoofbeats you are supposed to think horse, not zebra. Zebra, thy name is "Jalpa".

 

Wow, the polish job is unbelievable! The scud stripes look great, K!

 

The projected difference is 7 hp....an unfair advantage, catch them looking at the stylin' bits, then get them with the scud factor.....


coolio...

 

K your scud looks great and Geno yes the jalpa butt looks big but so cool. Enjoy Gavin

 

Geno and K you guys are living the dream! I am very happy for you guys. Beautiful cars!

 

B- join us in this dream. You have been MIA in the past 18 drives... we need you!

 

something about Olympic Voleyball?

I know that the fine Doctor will think of his dearest faux doctor should he need his fine steeds exercised....the gold brick was in fine form this last FOG drive...Rest assured, your FCar would be in capable hands, well driven and happy for the outing...( hint, HINT ) !!!!

 

yesterday at Laguna

Yow! Is driver OK? The approach to the Corkscrew is very scary. It is uphill and a blind approach, so you car gets light and you can't see anything on the other side. You have to mind your speed and try to use landmarks and lane position to get lined up right. As soon as you get to the top where the apex is, the track falls away about 5 stories in height as it goes left-right (T8, T8a), then into a fast sweeper to the left (T9) as you continue to descend. Get the Corkscrew right, and you can carry too much speed but have little room to get settled before entering T9.

 

Difficult to tell from the pic but the Jalpa's front bumper is V-shaped. Ferrari and Lamborgini must have raided the same parts bin because the Jalpa looked like it had the same front parking lights, windshield wipers and side mirrors as a Euro 308. I think the Jalpa's front resembles that of a Supra Mark II. Perhaps Sledge could shoehorn a Supra turbo engine in the front also.

 

The 308's parking/turn signal lights were used on the Countach as well. Actually the Countach was introduced first, right? So really the 308 must have borrowed the Countach's lights.

 

Yes, the Countach being introduced in 74 and the 308 in 75. I saw a pic of a later US Model Countach (prototype?) that used the same 4 round Carello tail lights as the 308!

 

My pics are posted!

A very nice event and even an exciting track experience! I have a 1GB 1080p movie of one lap!

Enjoy!

I did! Thank you for posting.

 

The Countach has a much less spacious interior than the Jalpa so in order to fit into one requires the removal, not addition, of the aforementioned gamete producing organs.

 

Nice Pics, K -- thank you for posting them

 

+1, a very enjoyable Sunday it was. Thanks for capturing the memories, K!

 

Now let's see the polish application!

 

Sorry V ! couldn't get the photos to load up properly so trying again !

Take 2....
Greetings all !
I got inspired by the detail photos of Kourosh's ride and others and decided it was time to get my other daily driver detailed.

Wanted to have some fun, so here are some details of the detailing.

Dr I.... you know a few of these trouble spots....

How long would it take to clay-bar and wax?

 

Yea but there won't be any marine growth, and that's good for 1.5% fuel savings!

 

Looks like a "shave and a haircut", 5 year ABS?
