    Red Lotus Elan on Lakeside by Windy Hill at around 12:45pm.

    Yellow Plymouth Prowler with yellow wheels (eew) by In-N-Out on South Virginia Street this evening at around 6:30pm.

    Dark Red Rolls-Royce (maybe a silver cloud?) heading down S. Virginia Street by In-N-Out followed by a silver Nissan GT-R at around the same time as the Prowler.

    For once I was on the freeway next to a Ferrari and was in the 308 instead of the Mazda. That never happens!

    A guy in a sharp looking black Mondial T and I drove on 85 and 101 south from about 17/Campbell to Cocrane Rd. in Morgan Hill.

    My seven-year-old daughter was with me and she had a camera, but I was getting no cooperation from her, so despite many opportunites I can't provide a nice picture of Mr. Mondial at speed.

    Was that anyone here?

    Hi Brian,
    Yes, it was me in my 89 t Coupe.
    Out on my Sunday drive. I had just got the car back on Saturday for clutch and t/o replacement. It's all feeling brand new again. Original clutch went 40k+ miles and 23 years.

    You car is looking great. Always nice when a couple of vintage F-cars are rolling side-by-side.

    Allen - excellent! It was a great day for a drive. We did almost 200 miles from home to Gilroy Hot Springs/Canada over to Watsonville and back through Mt. Madonna park. We were planning a route for a game at our Moto Guzzi club rally at the end of the month and taking pictures along the way. Eventually we had to put the roof back on because the sun got to be too much. I gotta remember to add "fix air conditionng" to my maintenance list!

    Nice to see you!

    I was in San Francisco last week for a business conference and saw just 2 Ferraris!!

    Surprising, considering how fantastic the weather was!!

    On Thursday night (6/14), a black 599 at a gas station between Union square and the Exploratorium. (Vague, I know, but I was on a bus)

    Saturday (6/16) morning, a beautiful red 308 GTSi in front of my hotel, the Hilton Financial District (Kearney)

    I passed a yellow Dino Saturday while on Panoramic Highway in Marin. Standing next to the car with the engine bay open it looked like the owner wasnt having the trip he planned. I hope you got it back on the road instead of on the back of a truck!

    Saw a red Ferrari F355 Spider parked at a business near Professional Circle off of Double R Boulevard this evening at around 7:40pm. Pretty sure it belongs to a plastic surgeon here in town.
