    Saw a silver 360 Stradale at the car wash on Sepulveda near Olympic.
    Looked pretty clean. I didn't know people put their coupes through the wash.

    ~6:15pm white 348ts (top-on) on Spencer and Anza in Torrance.

    Once a long time ago, I saw a yellow F355 spider at the local wash. They didn't put it through the tunnel though, but did it by hand outside. Still surprising though.

    Yesterday, a red 550 headed north on the 405 near the Torrance exits, just as I was getting on the freeway southbound. That was around 1ish.

    Later on in BH...a silver 360M with full Meridian-style hood scoops, side/bumper skirts, rims, exhaust, etc. on Beverly Dr. coming out of parking. Few minutes later, a silver 308 passed by.

    Also saw a Phantom and a pair of yellow and black DB7's.

    Ha, seems like it...so, um, today...red 360M w/ shields and challenge grill on PCH in Redondo Beach. My dad and I were in the red car. We got excited and we pulled up alongside him to wave hello. The guy did not even look over. He was on the phone it looked like, but I doubt he missed us. Seen many coincidentally from 308s to F40s be just as excited to be sharing the passion. Oh well, he's missing out on the fun.

    On Friday, saw a blue Mondial Cab (not a "t") heading southbound on the 405 past LAX at around one PM, then saw a yellow 360 at Barrington & Pico where coincidently, 100 Octane is available :) and at around 10PM a black 355 spyder was parket on Pine Ave & 1st in Long Beach.

    Then on Sat morning, a later vintage 348 ts showed up at the Starbucks on PV Drive North and Western.

    Mike550 is better off the line than poor Darth so if you wanna take him you need to be good on the pedals Speedball :( Corral Canyon is great if you are really good at corners and tight spaces. It is almost too narrow, not as bad as Benedict, but there atlease you hit something without going airborne

    Appreciate the PR! The good thing is that noone is usually there to see Darth wipe me all over the canyons. That man can drive the twistees. Jack up the insurance and check the brake fluid before a run with Darth550.

    Mike550 and Darth550 .... Sorry for the delay in responding ..... Hadn't looked at my posting in several weeks. Yes, I'm ready to rumble .... and appresiate the offer to join in on your fun. However, one problem ..... My cars in the shop at the moment for new t-belts, 15k service, etc., and I probably won't see it for another three weeks or so .... And I'm not certain I'm in full bore mode anymore ..... you may have seen my post from a few months ago about my little mishap .... My 550 has incredible control over me .... makes me do crazy things .... I was in Hemet, late one night doing 120+ on a fully improved, deserted road when I unexpectedly came upon three concrete barriers completely across the roadway ..... placed there with no warnings or signage whatsoever. Had little time to react ... had to turn onto the dirt shoulder at the last second .... damaging my front spoiler in the process as I went over a little berm. This was my first dent, scrape, mishap ever, in 30 years of driving, and has made me think about slowing down a bit in the future. I promised myself I'll try to stay under 100 on on-ramps from now on. Deserted Freeways and mountain roads .... well .... all bets are off. Sounds like you two have the same problem when you get behind the wheel of your Maranello's .... like to mix it up a bit .... I'm game .... however, my insurance company doesn't like me anymore ... and besides, I love my 550 more than my girlfriend ... so I promised never to hurt it again. Should have the 550 back in three weeks or so ... I'll send you message when I get it back. Would love to join in. What part of town are you in?
