Canepa visit

I had started that Bay Area 456/550/575 conversation with some of the guys….perhaps I’ll ping that list and if anyone sees this that wants in and isn’t on the “conversation thread” then let me know.

 

Will be in Wine Country next weekend - rev your engines everyone! I could use a little sonorous Maranello symphony!

 

Added you to the “conversation”.

 

I am the one that invited himself to the Canepa meeting on BaT. Not sure what is going to happen, but if I can make, I'll be there. Please add me to the 'conversation' as well.


The picture was 2 weeks ago at the end of where highway 1 was blocked way passed Big Sur. That was a nice 50ml no CHP drive early morning on the coast.....

It looks like fchat might limit conversation participants to 10 because the add invite option is gone from the original group.

I’ll start a new one with Nick and you for this event.

 

Add me in... with my lowly 308GT4. But let's see a firm date. The 20th has a lot going on. SVRA in Sonoma and a Candy Store event. The 27th would be better for me.

 

We are doing a tough one for most (Thursday the 18th around lunch). Aerosurfer has a limited window while he is in town and I’m excited to meet him in real life as I’ve valued and enjoyed his contributions here.

Also no snobbery for sure on the 308gt4 (love them all).

 

Noon ish on the 18th could work for me

 

No such thing as a lowly Ferrari....

With or without the car, would love to meet up with anyone on here

 

Man, I am up there frequently from LA as we have a place in Aptos. My wife is flying up there today in-fact. It would be great to have the whole crew meet up at the Italiano Concours this year or something. That would at least give me the motivation to go back to that show (which was not that great the last few years).

Have fun and post pics fella’s.

 

Sometime when you are in Aptos we could get the Locals together for a similar special “Mirek” appearance. Rumor has it the special guest gets a free lunch ;-)

 

Thanks man, hey guys after everything, TODAY after picking my daughter up from school and then letting the (hot) car sit for 1 hour, I had very hard start and BAD rough idle, almost stalling (computer relearn from recent injector replacement ???). I wish. Also some oil (?) drops on my latest new pavers !!

Anyway right now I am trying to confirm my BACK-UP SERVICE appointment (yep damn) with FastCars in Redondo and then on to the CARB dance before May is over. I am either buying or drinking free every single drink at that free lunch Eric. I cannot believe this is a damn GTA too. Seriously. SOS.

It helps to vent. Thank You.

 

To quote Clark Griswold…..!
“Pass the Tylenol”!

 

I was also so pissed this morning when I took the girls to school cause my custom coach Centurion which I store outside in an enclosed Car Capsule (to keep it rodent free) was deflated so I got to monkey phallus around trouble shooting that for 90 minutes.

All I could hear was my wife whispering in my ear….”it hasn’t moved in ages….why is it still here”!!! I almost annswered….. 8-(

We'll be there at Canepa the 18th, love to see your car!

Hi Jeff,
I live in Aptos, so next time you are around, ping me and I'll buy you a beer at the Parish or Margarita at Palapas (as long as they are still open). I also registered for the Italian car show downtown Carmel during carweek, we should put our 2 cars next to each other there!
More important, how is your car? Hope your SOS status has changed to 'repair mode'.

Good luck!

Thanks Menko, that sounds like a plan. Our place is right by you (Seascape) so that makes it easy to do the Italiano again or just link up for a drink next time we are up there. My daughter calls it the “Deer house” and we love it up there. Small world my freind, Palapas is walking distance from us.

Headed down to Fast Cars Redondo tomorrow, so whatever the hell it is, it will be resolved shortly !

Funny, we start to dislike those deer.... they literally eat everything, including my meat that I leave out at the barbq for a couple minutes or so. This was right before I left a week ago, in the backyard. I walk my dog on the beach at the resort every day, small world. And yep, Palapas is walking distance (5min) for us too!

have fun in Redondo, I'll see you around!

Deer are tall rats in a lot of locations.

 

Regarding rats….This is why none of my stuff stays outside where I live in the Santa Cruz mountains….8-(

PS… For those of us that are going to Canepa’s with us Thursday this week… I just stopped in about an hour ago and told them a small group of us would be there around noon (hoping we can also get in the new showroom over flow across the street

 

Lots of candy in the main building including a Daytona

 

Funny, I used to tell my daughters that I would drive to the candy store (the old Los Gatos Bently/Rolls/Ferrari/Lambo) and they always joined me and sat in many of those cars there. They now love cars and still talk about real nice candy if they see a nice car on the road....
See you tomorrow, looking forward to it!
