Driving with Ferrari's. How to start your morning.
 

While sound asleep at 8 AM, I got a call that in 12 minutes, twenty Ferraris were heading to the top of the mountain then to Stinson Beach.

Although I'd stayed up till 3 AM, I decided I 'd get dressed and drive along for half an hour. I still need to go to work at 11 AM. I catch a few in the group, and while they pull off to look at their directions I assure them I know the way. They follow. Well, apparently my info was not perfect but I had a blast. Sorry for the bad info to you Ferrari guys. At least it was a good drive, not like I placed you in stop and go freeway traffic.

They all caught up at breakfast.


Here is how it looked from my car.

Pretty sure that if i had the money to own that ferrari in front of you, I would be holding revs just to listen to the engine wail lol

It sounds so good too.

:tup:

know what else is good....not driving on the wrong side of the road on a mountain with blind turns. Other than that, nice cars :)

:tup: I need to play lotto...

Sweet. :tup:

Great scenery! :D The location looked nice too. :tup:

MT Tam I am likes riding 2nd into redline........a lot (with VDC off no less)! I kept expecting the 2-3 throw, but it kept not happening! LOL :)

Looks like good times my friend!

I actually had the opportunity to drive a 458 Italia in Vegas at the exotic racing it was like 350 for 5 laps but it was worth every penny

Why oh why did systems block YouTube at work...

Is it just me, or does the beginning of the video seem like he is trying to get away from the cops. LOL

If we had roads like that down here...god damn you guys are lucky.

All that $ for an Italian sports car and he has trouble staying in his lane. Sorry, but as a motorcycle rider this irritates me.

:icon18:

I am always trying to get away from the cops. :rofl2:

I got to drive next to a ferrari 458 italia for 8 miles while going to the state fair here in Tx. I almost n*****d in my pants. I normally don't droul over ferraris and lambo cars when I see them but the 458 is something special imho.

I drove up to Idyllwild yesterday morning. There was an antique car club having a road rally, and I saw dozens of cars on the mountain roads, many going back to the 1920's and earlier. I stopped and talked to a couple of owners that were pulled into a scenic turn out. They were having great fun. I asked them about the reliability of their cars and they said that they were pretty simple to maintain. The only thing that scared them was the trip down, they had to really keep their speed down to keep from overheating their old drum brakes, all of which didn't even have power assist ! Some of the owners and their wives and girlfriends were also dressed in period attire which I thought was pretty cool, and most of the cars I observed were open touring cars so one had to dress for the ride. Luckily it was in the high 70's even up at 5000 feet. I wished I had my camera to have taken some shots. The cars were beautiful.

You know, the closest thing to roads like this for me is up in North Carolina. I really need to take a drive up there and have a little fun! My wife hates it when I drive in the mountains though. She can never watch the road, or the side of the road (or the lack thereof). I LOVE it though.

the beginning is funny...nice roads!

:iagree:
South Texas is just a bunch of quarter mile tracks tied together. Flat & Straight.:driving:

I think I saw those cars in the midst of their rally on Wed or Thursday. One car looked like the "Monopoly race car". Open cars, old race cars, even a D type looking car with numbers on the side and striped. A 1960's Ferrari was an assist car.

Millions of dollars rolling past. It was beautiful.

:tup: A great site to see.
