I love that Bugatti Blue CS- I want to see a F430 in that color with some gunmetal wheels

 

NICE!! Congrats!! Gotta be the haircut! 14 hours at Disneyland - you deserve a medal!

 

Thanks for the great pictures guys!

 

I think I pulled out right after that happened because my friend and I noticed all the spectators at the corner gawking in complete amazement. I couldnt see it happen though because I was behind the corner pulling up to the stop

I cant beleive someone would try that **** with traffic inbound....

What was he trying to do? A little sideways action from the stop? If so then thats the 2nd time I've been in the area where someone runs out of talent. People should calm down around traffic and pedestrians.

 

oh, believe me, he didn't TRY to do it. i'm pretty sure it was an accident. out the entrance he turned right slowly. ripped for the people. didn't looked far in advance. went too fast w/ a car in front of him. wanted to changed lanes to the left so he wouldn't hit the car. lost traction. started spinning, did a 180, got back on the road. and took off. bet he was having a heart attack in there. i would be!!!

too bad no one got it on video, it was a site!

 

Unbeleivable.....

 

Of course all the people standing on the corner telling him to "get on it" and to "Do something" sure didn't help. Turbo Ferrari's can get out of hand really quick.
Good thing the guy driving was a good driver and knew the car.

 

That is almost the complete opposite from what fiat850 described. But I have no desire to argue/discuss this anymore.

 

Well said!

 

Great pics Frank and Jay! Looks like a fantastic Ferrari day.

 

Great pics!!! Nice showing.

Too bad I missed it, but was at my daughter's first karting lesson

I'm going to be missing next week as well, for her second lesson.

That driver in that car has plenty of experience and has been driving Ferrari's for over 20 years, unless you were in the passenger seat I wouldn't make assumptions about his talent.

 

Thanks Jerry

Thanks to Jay and Frank for the pics, great job!! I loved it.
thanks again. see you all again soon.

 

I 100% agree with Tony here, specialy that he is my Nighbor and I know him personaly for few years, he actually called me few minutes after it happened and he was quite shaken from it, it was not intended and he is the one always telling me to be safe and drive slow!!!
This could happen like Rick said with Turbos , I have had similar experience in my few days of owning the F40, anyways, lets move on.

 

Big mouth Ryan, Know the story before you open mouth. I'm not one to hide behind my typing. Call me if you have a problem. (949) 887-0104. Yeah it was stupidity. I didn't do THAT on purpose. ...and it wasn't a 180 degree turn into oncomming traffic. Know me & you'll know.

 

Armen, I am glad that you ard your car are safe.

 

Let's not argue about this, just thank god no one is hurt and no one crashed... leave it at that.

Awesome pictures by the way, thank you once again!

 

Agreed... Those that know Armen know.

 

This Whole thing is blown SOOOOO out of proportion. It is SO exaggerated. It was Stupid. I gave in to peer pressure from the guys on the corner screaming "go for it". I was gonna get a little sideways (I admit STUPID and WRONG!) I gunned it, got pretty sideways, saw a cop right in front of me, panicked let off the gas and the car whipped the other way. I corrected myself and pulled over. Knowing he would pull me over. I never did a 180, never went into the oncoming traffic. I did go into the HUGE center Median.
That is it. I've done worse things in my life.

 

So what did the cop have to say?

 

Didnt mean to offend. I was commenting on what I read, if it was false or inaccurately described then my comments should be voided.

My point of view is that people shouldn't be put in danger. I am a bit sympathetic to what happened to you now that I know WHO it was. Im sure its pretty hard or even impossible to intimately know each car and how they respond to different driver inputs. And from what I gather your NOT the kind of person my comments were geared towards, I figured it was a yahoo wreckless driver like the one I saw the last time I went to CC.

-you have a PM.

 

that info makes a BIG difference

I guess this is something we can all learn from.
