Went to almost everything except some of the auctions, RM, Concourso, Christies, Races, Pebble Beach. And you? Was one busy weekend

yeah i was beat every single day. i did concourso on friday and then went to laguna because a friend of mine pitts a few lotus so he showed us around. went to RM that night.

saturday was laguna pretty much all day then once again RM and the other auction across the street that had the GT3 RS, the Enzo and the 2 Nascars. what did u think of RM? i thought the cars got sold SO CHEAP, especially all those Shelbys. it was ridiculous, i was flipping out. i still think that GT-3 Viper was a complete and utter steal for anyone who wants to club race.

Sunday we went flying and didnt make it back out to laguna, it looked pretty dead tho.

monday was challenge and then i left.

tiring, but super rewarding! how was pebble? we heard it was a little too old (car wise) for us, so we skipped it.

I thought pebble beach was pretty good, they had some really nice ferrari's there that i liked alot. i forgot to mention that we went to the unavailing of the 575 convertible. I didn't get a great view of it but i can tell you that top is all glass and with one push of a button it flips back. Its not like a normal convertible where the top stows away in a conpartment, even when the top is down you can still see it(i know im just rambling on, its pretty hard to explain) I didnt get to see alot of RM only the last parts of it b/c we were busy with dinner and the ferrari thing

Thankyou for the pics, they are amazing. Seems like you've had an unbelievable weekend!

Mike do you mean like a Targa style top that they have on Porsches? where the top of the roof slides back to leave the top open.

the enzo isnt orange right ??? i see it rosso scuderia...

IgotWRXed · 08-18-2004, 12:43 AM

no that one was orange. there was a bunch of red, but that is orange unfortunately. the cars owner is the orange county ferrari dealerships owner and gave some lame excuse that thats why it was orange or something to that effect

it looks hideous in person.

Na not like that, the top flips all the way back. Ill draw a pic of it in paint and post it. Give me a few mins.
Edit: This is the best i can do

holy shit...now that's a shitload of pics..thanks a lot..I can't wait to see that 575 hardtop convertible...I'm quite excited because I love the 550/575 and the Barchetta...

budagboy2 · 08-18-2004, 01:08 AM

b/c of the new top the car looses its lines, the back is no longer swooping back, it gets cut off and drops straight down, like of the pic i drew. i honestly thought it was kind ugly, ba/ca with the top up or down it still had horrible lines to it
