    Wow…..today was a special day.
    Was able to meet such a nice group of guys.

    Converted 575
    Unmodified 575
    550 with exhaust
    550 with MSW mods & Fabio exhaust (Grigio Ingrid - mine)
    456 (gorgeous color and amazing interior).

    our little outing was “south San Jose”.

    Man I think that is the exact Rosso Barchetta GTA with badges out of La Jolla that I tried to track down in CA a few years back. Even called the selling dealer. Daytona seats ? So beautiful it hurts.

    The interior of that 456 seemed perfect. Almost shocking.

    i hope we all get to hang out again the time flew and it was fun to “get to know each other” and next time maybe we can get to know the cars even better.

    The guy I saw with his son in the F40 (from the Santa Cruz show a few months ago) with the baby booster was at Alice’s during our outing.

    i didn’t have my reading glasses but I thought the F40 had 10k miles which is awesome that it’s getting used.

    It’s actually a manual 456M… it’s Rosso Fiorano (same color as my 550 in the above pic) and yes, gray Daytonas. Holy grail 456, right there. It is the nicest 456 I’ve ever seen.

    Back around 2016, when I was shopping for a 456, Stu (owner) rightly refused… I had to then find the equivalent 550 version of it, which I thankfully did. :)

    Thanks again Eric for organizing. Great to meet you all today and enjoy a brisk drive in the hills with the V12s howling.

    What we should have done was have @kvm drive his converted 575 back to back with one of our 550’s so we could have a comparison…. #nexttime

    Agree! Next time we can take back to back turns and compare. Maybe put a go pro onboard.

    One thing I didn't see mentioned is that the Maranello's had three three different brands of aftermarket mufflers + one stock. Quite a range of sounds while driving skyline.

    I'll bring it up north again maybe before the rains arrive. I drove the car down to OC today no problems and it returned 17.1MPG..not bad for a V12!

    The F40 sounded sweet when it rolled in...

    The next time you guys want to get together- I’d like to join with my new to me 2002 575. I could host at my house in Napa if you wanted a wine country drive.

    If I had seen a bunch of 456/550/575M cars on the road, I would have been extatic! Must be a really really cool seen for others too.

    Enjoy!!
    Here we have two feet if white snow. Not many Maranellos on the road...
