Marconi Museum Visit

Awesome pictures as usual guys!

Will you guys be at CC Saturday? And also Pebble next weekend? I'll be hitting up both.

Is this museum open to the public? I had no idea they had some older F1s there.

 

Awesome - I'll have to make a trip out there sometime soon!

 

WOW! I must go!

 

Yes, always best to call them before you go. The last time I was there I went with Supercar Ace and they had a $5 entrance fee/donation. So you got a chance to meet Dick Marconi himself. Anyone been up there for the boxing events? I want to go again for I didn't have a proper camera with me the last time. If interested in going just send me a PM. Nice pics as always........too bad the Cizeta was butchered.

 

Nice shots gents! As Las said, I went up there with him and it was nice. I wouldn't mind going again. By the way, I didn't know that he had an XJ220S TWR!

 

That was so much fun. I hope you enjoyed your birthday present Drew. I never expected Dick to let you drive the F1 car.

Not sure whether or not I like the shot of me shooting the FX, but I definitely like the shot of Dirk, Dick, Spanky and Frankie! Thanks.

And Josh, the S at the Marconi makes this 3 out of the 5 ever made in less than a week! Yee ha.

 

great stuff guys....wish I coulda been there...

 

I hate the FX - ugly. But sheesh, Drew made it look damn good....the horror!

 

Another visit after CC? Will they be open? Tell me if you want to go. CJ is meeting me at my place for the early morning drive.

 

That was fun guys! Thanks for calling me over! Mr. Marconi is a super cool guy and it was really nice for him to take time out of his schedule to let us photograph his cars! He has some pretty interesting stories too!

Thanks again for lunch Frank! I owe you big now!

Happy Birthday Drew!

 

You should see the Cizeta they have there. Scary.


Glad you could make it Jordan. It was great to have Damon Hill there to drive his Williams.

 

Excellent pics. Have they added anything new there lately or same?

 

Funny, 3 of 5 here in So Cal...that's why it's the best spot for cars!

Las, visiting on saturday might be a good possibility. Lemmie see what I have to do later that day and I'll let you know.

 

Simply awesome!

The FX is too cool.

 

Sorry Josh, the Museum is closed on Saturday.

 

I have that car fully documented in photos. They too (for my book) pulled the car (more like pushed it) outside for me. Documented inside and out.

 

Driving F1 cars and Damon Hill; what the hell?
LOL..................

 

Very nice pics Drew!!

2 F50's! woah

 

Hey, that car has the steering wheel on the wrong side .

 

Where is this Museum located? Is the 456 shooting brake in the same location?

 

Located in Tustin, California. Check out their website at: http://www.marconimuseum.org/

 

Is Dick an F-Chat member? I am going to be in Fountain Valley next thrusday for about a month and I would like to swing by and if possible ask him about the 456 Estate.

 

I don't think Mr. Marconi is on f-chat, but if you call to set up an appointment, you can probably find out if he'll be there when you visit. BTW, the 456 Estate isn't at the museum so I don't know how much info he'd have about it.

Make sure you come down to Crystal Cove when in town and PM me if you want any info on the other local car spots.
