    Ooops, just read about the postponing of the party. This fire is absolutely terrible, and the results worse.

    My heartfelt condolences to those who have lost so much of their lives!

    Regards, Alberto

    Tragic loss of home and all possessions, FOG member Jeff W returned to the scene and captured this photo of the vague remnants of his 360. His advice today: drive your Ferrari like you stole it now "as tomorrow it may not be there." Image Unavailable, Please Login

    This surreal aerial footage of US Postal worker delivering mail in neighborhood destroyed by fires in Northern California gives one a clear sense of the destruction and loss.

    Just back in the country....so sorry to see the devastation...I have 3 friends who lost homes in Santa Rosa and surrounding area's...having been through a house fire myself...nothing compares...seems everytime I hear a siren it replays in my mind the losses incurred...Betsy & I are thinking our our FOG friends and the hardship they have to endure. I do have a fully furnished home, everything including kitchen, sheets, etc we rent as a vacation home here in Modesto that just became available after someone here lost there home to a fire a year ago. It is now available and about 75 minutes to the bay and 2 hours to Santa Rosa that I am putting out here first. PM me if you know someone who could use it. Best wishes...Brett & Betsy

    Saturday night's check party at Ferrari of Silicon Valley was an elegant evening with great food and drink, Rally videos, sponsor awards, and of course the presentation of the check.

    After the Rally weekend, contributions continued to arrive such that the ultimate gift grew to a stunning $375,000! It's an amazing milestone for the FOG Rally and for Make-A-Wish, Greater Bay Area.

    The FOG Rally is the single largest external fundraiser for Make A Wish, Greater Bay Area, ever.

    All told, the Rally has raised $1,150,000 for Make-A-Wish, Greater Bay Area in just 4 years.

    Total funds raised by the Rally for SF Bay Area charities to date is $1,330,000 in just 6 years.

    Great photo. Love the opposite lock on the Jag. (I presume that is a Jag, but it looks a little strange. Maybe a Lotus?) Old cars rock. So much feedback and fun when driving them hard. Was that photo taken on your recent drive? :)

    Isn't that cool? Ha! One of those "Bring what you got" drives. The good old days when they held the races in Carmel, and yes, I think you are right - that may be a 1954-56 D-type
