Look for an "official" thread soon. I'm traveling on business but I'll try to iron out the details with everyone by the end of the week. Any preference on location? I was thinking about trying to do a dinner again at Espetus in San Mateo with a group ride on Skyline before. But I'm open to suggestions.

1) the 355 is my favorite car in the world. i see yours all the time parked at my gym. i have pics of it on my facebook. "dream something" for the plate right?
2) i saw the photoshoot with itzkirb photography, excellent shots
3) you probably live a good 5-10 minutes away from me. looking forward to meeting you if there is a meet or next time i see you next to my gym shopping.

Yes,
Michael that's my car. Once in a while I'll see an E63 in the gym parking lot. Likely that's you. DREAM 83 is the plate. I'll let you try and figure that out. The F355 is an eternally beautiful car. It combines the classic good looks of the 70's to 90's mid engine Ferrari's with modern performance. I always wanted to get an E55/63 when I was in college. Always thought that was the most appropriate car for a young car enthusiast professional. Still prefer it over the M5.

dream 83...yenno i was always wondering what it meant and never figured it out actually. i'm gonna guess the year you were born though?

yes i'm actually in college now. i had a 4.4 bmw X5 in high school, a c55 for my first 3 years of college, now i'm in the E63. looking to get into a BS in a few years down the road.

Michael,
Not to shabby... C55-E63 in college...the C63 BS looks like it will definitely be in the works for you in the future. I can't wait to see and get a ride in my good friend's BS when I visit him down in LA next month. That car is insane.

In 1983, I was lucky to venture to Modena/Maranello as a young boy, as I was always enamored by Ferraris. My father and I drove up to the front gate and the security guard said the factory was closed. I was a heartbroken kid. Obviously the guard noticed my despair. He promptly escorted me and my father on a personal tour of the body works area where I was able to see 308's and my ultimate favorite at the time 512 BB in the midst of production. They even gave me some brochures for the 308 and Boxer that I cherished for many years. After the tour, I promised myself that I would oneday buy one of Maranello's finests. In 2008 I was able to realize the dream. It's what makes Ferraris different than most cars out there. Ferrari does not sell cars...they sell a dream!
If you look at some of the shots of my F355 Berlinetta and other cars on the Itzkirb website, since you're local, you may recognize where many of these shots take place.

Fellow AMG'ers, If you want to attend a real cool event, check out the www.fogrally.com website and you will see an event page on the FOG Rally and the Launch Party that takes place tomorrow night at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. You can purchase tickets for the charity event and check out all the cars displayed in the front of the hotel. Even if you don't Plan on attending the Launch Party, I would venture out to SF to check out the scene. It will be pretty special!

My neighbor has a pristine 328 that I have yet to take a ride in. As I'm admiring his car collection, he's admiring my bike and car

The black C63 BS, Orange Aventador, M3, and R8 are all likely owned by the same individual, a real cool guy, and a true car enthusiast. I've heard from one of his associates, that the BS is his current favorite new car (that's including the Lambo).

if you dont know who he is, here are some clues...

If you ever watch the TV show West Coast Customs on the Velocity Channel, he converts his R8 into a Tron themed Supercar.

Another hint, if you have an HD TV you likely have his product in your house...
