    What a great day....and an amazing one for 3 of us....

    First of all, there were 3 different 612 Scagliettis that showed up at CC today....but one was extra special....

    The burgandy one is owned by Eric (a fellow F-chatter, but not sure of his nickame on here). He's had it for 4 weeks, and has driven over 12,000 miles so far in it. You can tell by the never-ending smile on his face that he enjoys every one of them...

    As he was leaving, Frank, Jordan and I thought we'd attempt at hitchhiking a ride in it....we each stuck our thumbs out, and hoped for the best. He said hop on in, and we were shocked.... :)

    Anyways, the 3 of us got an incredible spin down PCH, experiencing the great acceleration and brakes that the 612 has. The back seat was amazingly comfortable - there really is a bit more space than it looks, once you're seated...

    So you're all going to get complete coverage today of the ride - with 3 of the unoffical staff photographers for CC in each of the passenger seats. Enjoy them, and hope you all get a chance to do this someday....

    Eric, we owe you big time. Thanks for the great spin! Now we have the same smile on our faces that you do. :) Hope you have a fun and safe trip back up to the Northwest....

    Jay

    Update - apparently Eric's nickame on here is...Eric. :) You can read about his delivery of the car at http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39107. Looks like he got it back in mid-November...

    Update 2 - Oh yeah, that thing above the 612's rearview mirror is the "navigation armadillo". :)

    Great pics, you guys are lucky :) The guy in the black 612 just barely cleared the curb there. Only a matter of time if he's cutting it that close. According to a source the first batch of 430's should be arriving anytime now at FoOC. We should see one at CC soon ;)

    I'll bet the black 612 was the same one I saw on Newport Blvd ~ 12:30pm yesterday.

    Great Pictures,

    I need to give you guys a ride in my 456 to compare it to the 612 experience. Somehow I don't it will be the same :)

    I saw the red one in Costa Mesa week before last. Sounded very good with what ever afermarket exhaust is on it.

    Pretty good turnout today. I think I actually expected more considering how the rain has kept so many cars indoors the last few weeks. Huge thanks to Eric! You made my year! That 612 is so solid and fast. And those brakes! Fantastic. Nice meeting a few more of you today. And MB, we'd be happy to take you up on that offer next week. Other than the obvious highlight supplied by Eric, it was nice seeing the 360GT and CGT getting some exercise up PCH, as well as the 996 GT 700 fly-by and that wicked sounding Bel Air. Pretty sweet.

    One of these days I want to fly out to the left coast and check out this crystal cove nonsense. You guys suck for getting to do that every weekend. :D :D :D

    But seriously, I enjoy the pics, I'm glad you guys post them every weekend. :)

    Frank, Jay, great shots guys! I certainly had a blast today! Eric, thanks for your kindness in giving us such an exciting ride! I think it was a unique sort of bonding experience for the 4 of us to be stuffed in the 612 like that...quite comfortably I might add though :)

    Anyway, im a bit stuck at home without the ability to upload any photos since my car left me stranded here last night. Ill probably be getting back to my dorm eventually this evening. Ive got some really cool shots (especially of Eric's 612) and movies from our ride, so please check back :)

    What a great morning! I've been jealously reading about the CC gathering for seems like forever, and so I was so happy I could arrange our road trip around a Saturday morning visit. What a great group of gear heads and their gear. I was in heaven!

    Thanks for the pics guys. It was fun getting to chat for a bit. And I always love sharing the fcar with anyone who is interested. So much of the fun of these cars is meeting the enthusiasts who share this addiction. Sorry we had to cut the ride short, but we had to hit the highway for home...

    Right now we're stoppped for the night in Stockton, CA. We now have 11,150 miles on the car. Just about 8,000 of those miles were put on it in the past five weeks. It's been a great trip so far, and much as we're ready to get home, do some laundry, and eat some home cooked food, we're ready to go back out and do it again. The 612 has been an absoulte dream to cruise in. We've met tons of great folks along the way, and I can't begin to count the number of times I've looked in the rear view mirror to see a driver following with cell phone camera pointed our way.

    I'll try to pull together some more notes about our trip and post them with the obligatory pics in a week or so, once we've had a chance to regroup.

    I bet that was some awesome experience. Glad you guys had a fun ride around CC. Whats the name of the color on that 612?

    Have a safe trip home Eric.

    Here are my photos! I was really lucky to see Eric's beautiful 612 when he just pulled in, before the crowds of people gathered around it! It was a great turnout, nice variety, and a great way to start the weekend.

    Eric, the car is beautiful, thanks again for sharing it with us! I hope you can make it down to Crystal Cove more often!

    Set one of two...

    Sorry about the quality of the photos. When I resized them they seemed to granulate quite a lot. The higher resolution versions are crystal clear, so if anybody wants any pictures e-mailed to them, let me know.

    Terrific pictures!! I actually like the brown hue- makes the picture seem dated, yet its obvious that a number of these cars are brand-new. I must make the trip to Crystal Cove soon...anything one needs to know apart from the general info provided on the forum?

    If you're driving something nice, plan on getting there by 6:30-6:45. If you're just spectating, getting there early is a lot of fun too, but most of the cars are there until at least 8, and many of them until close to 9. If you're bringing a camera, make sure you have tons of storage and a backup battery too.
