Alrite guys, here is the rundown, I have pictures of my weekend, Friday-Monday. Over 550+ Ferraris at concours d’ Italia, largest gathering EVER. Not to mention the other cars I took pics of. I also saw cars at Laguna Seca, and I attended the 360 Challenge Series where my friend and his dad competed. That is where the F50GT car was.
I am working on video, it is just going to be clips taken off of my Digital Camera, but what it is really all about is the sounds.
This weekend = greatest car event of my life. I went to a ton of auctions, saw the first ever public sale of an enzo, and hundreds of other one of cars. Sorry, I couldn’t take pictures for 96 hours straight ;)
I really hope you guys enjoy, I had JW in mind and that’s really the only reason I took so many pictures as well as video.
Also, I would really appreciate it if this got a sticky, there is so much here that I don’t want it getting pushed down :)

McLaren. This color is AMAZING in person. I want to paint everything this color. Also, look how far recessed the seats are. And contrary to popular belief, its really hard to see the gold lining in the engine bay.

The F50 GT car. Words cannot describe how I felt. This is the ORIGINAL CAR, chassis #1. It was crashed a few months ago at Infineon on lap #1 by a driver warming the car up for the owner. This was the first race back, and the owner, (an old man) was driving it. He took it SUPER easy around the course.

Friends dad racing. They are trying to get me into Challenge racing, I don’t have that kind of time though. Also, purchasing the car aside, its around $10k per race when you factor in expenses.
