Default Monterey Weekend *AMAZING PICTURES!!!!! MUST SEE*

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

GT40




Older Ferrari


One of almost 10 F40s that I saw that day, alas no F50s out of 550+ Ferraris L




Lambo



Murcielago Roadster


Bunch of Gallardos all in a row


Inside a Diablo


Baddest of ALL Lambos, VTTT, Twin Turbo Car. Check the license plate




Diablo SV


Diablo


The all too famous Lambo LM SUV



Momo interior


Who doesn’t love carbon fiber?


A minor shot of the insanity


The All new Shelby Cobra




The Red Sea



Orange Enzo. Property of the Owner of Orange County Ferrari, a team that my friend and his dad used to race Challenge for, now it’s the auto gallery. The color is hideous.



Another F40


288 GTO



One of my favorite Ferraris, a Challenge GT car.




Why hello there beautiful J I saw so many Enzos it was sickening.




575M Maranello Engine


Gorgeous



575’s. The all new hardtop convertible was unveiled that weekend at a Ferrari Club of America event.



Dinos



Older Ferrari


Corvette



Ferrari Racer


F1 Car


24 hour car




Another Murcielago Roadster


I forsee a pissing match between this and a certain Gallardo


S7


Elise. These are REALLY hard to get in and out of.


Aston Martin. Want to hear the story behind the Zagato?(sp). Mr. Zagato called up AM, said I will give you $20M to make me a car, we will sell 200, and I get my money back. How do I know? From the man himself J Yep


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.







S7



Continental GT dealer sticker. I thought the 19s were pretty cheap considering they are Bentley.


Racer


280 Daytona


Random Pic


Shelby Cobra Racer



360 Challenge GT



330 P4. Simply Amazing





612 Engine Bay



Very Special E30 CSL


My friends dads 360 spyder. Tubi, carbon fiber everywhere, F50 brakes!!! And HRE’s with special Ferrari centercaps.



The new 1,000 hp Chrysler ME. Ugly.


Dodge Viper Comp. Coupe



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.









Newer F1 car



PreChallenge Laps taken from Ferrari Hospitality above Pits



How money is this?





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.




My buddy Alex


young and old




F1 cars racing around Laguna Seca






THE CRASH!!!!!!!!!! Turn 6. driver was not hurt

some nice shit there and those aren't just some old Corvettes the second is the Mako Shark!

And so true that is a really crappy F40 replica there.
I mean if you saw that many F40's you should have noticed that car was a fake.
width, length, height, lights, wheels, doors, mirrors, shape of cabin roof line, antenna(I think)

Also some of the slowest damn loading I've seen from Imageshack.

that F40 was in the parking lot and was the first, i was going a little crazy so i wasnt paying attention, next to it was a GT3 and a GT40 was just parked next to our car. its pretty easy to sit and stare at a full color photo and go"thats fake!!" but in real life, at a ferrari event, you dont really do that.

i konw its the mako shark , there was another pic that didnt load that was another corvette.
