Of whose car? If you're talking about neoprufrok's BS, he's running 265/30/20 front and 325/30?/20 in the rear.

AnthonyMcKay, biglee73, neoprufrok, and some other folks were there.

Wow, that's one fast R8 V10! I've ran and beaten the V8 version. Makes me think twice about going heads up against the V10.

My buddy informed me that it comes de-tuned from the factory so it doesn't overpower the Gallardo, but it is the same engine. He has also owned 2 Gallardos, one of them being a Super Leggera. But he likes the R8 much better.

The rally was was fun. Lots of cars. Too bad my gopro ran out of battery before reaching Skyline Blvd.

Someone called in one of the GT3's and I swore there were 4 cops surrounding him. Luckily he made it out with just a no plates infraction.

It was one of the white ones with all the decals on it.

Here's a video from the owner of the restaurant where we stopped off at.

How did you like that place? My gf's dad and I were just talking about it recently because we were at Sea Bowl.

Was that video taken by a quad copter? It was a really nice day for a drive up hwy 1.

Yeah weather was fantastic. I didn't even know there was a copter filming the venue; its a great angle though.

We all had a breakfast buffet. It was ok. I'm sure the menu has a lot more choices that we we had.

As expected, was a really fun time! Lots of really awesome cars showed up, and the drive was amazing! Just noticed myself and my girl walking up to greet CoolDBPhenom03 at 3:50 in the third video up above, haha.

As for the "lunch", it was honestly pretty bad, IMO. Was $25 bucks a plate, for a buffet of scrambled eggs, bacon, and some eggs benedict with rock hard inedible english muffins. Oh well

Here are some of the shots I took that day. I forgot my nice camera at home, so all I had was my iPhone

Audi R8 V10 Spyder & McLaren MP4-12C

Ferrari F430 & GT-R


Everying heading out from lunch, onto the next location!

Here's a short little video from the drive where a few of us realized we didn't take the right exit. Oops!
