California Coast on Sunday

Gcalo · 06-15-2009, 04:17 PM

Was at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, CA, by invitation this past Sunday to see the amazing work these folks do on stranded, sick, and entangeled sea lions, elephant seal pups, etc..

The weather was absolutely spectacular.

Went with a friend and his nice 328.

We had VIP parking passes at the front door!

Unfortunately I did not take many pictures but these two!

Northern California folks should make a point of visiting this facility at Fort Cronkhite.

Your 360 looks stunning in the light. Lovely blue. Having had the pleasure of driving Boxer's 360 I am very impressed at what a well-rounded and exciting to drive Ferrari the 360 is. The sights of the engine through the rearview mirror and of the air intakes through the side mirrors, are spectacular.

It's a great car, easy on which to do work, and great for upgrades.

My blue sure gets a good bit of attention.

The 360 looks great, love the colour the way the sun catches it. I'd never realised how much longer and wider the 360 is over a 328. The 328 looks tiny next to your 360. Still love 3x8's though

Gcalo · 06-16-2009, 11:01 AM

I did not realize the size differences until Sunday.

I was following behind my friend and noticed how much more compact and higher his car is.

The 360 is really a wonderful car.

I read the article in the current Forza about the 599 HGTE and boy did that peak my interest.

Not giving up my beautiful 360 though!

Steep terrain up there and I did not blow a seal either!!!

Colors make the car.

Too many red ones!

Colors do make the car or Pininfarina art. Some models look better in person, some photograph better but don't translate to the road.

Most models look awesome comming at you in your rear view mirror!

fewer than 30 for the whole 360 production!

There are in the US only 8 coupes and 10 spiders.

The rest are in Europe.

Gcalo, you must be cleaning and wiping your car at least twice a day to keep it so clean !?!?!? Seriously, she's a beautttt ! That color with the California sun and blue sky is perfect. Simply, gorgeous sight. w/ smiles Jimmy

Try to wash once a week in good weather as sitting in garage it gets a bit dusty and with the hot weather we have had lately it causes the trees to drop a great deal.

The Griots Best of Show wax really brings out the metallic paint.

stile - alpine · 07-27-2009, 10:08 AM

oh man, it took me about 5 seconds to realize that there was a red Ferrari in that 1st picture

Gcalo, take a few more pictures of your car in the sun like that and you could probably sell them as posters, simply FANTASTIC color!!

Gcalo · 07-27-2009, 10:24 AM

Here's another taken by a friend:

And another but resolution greatly reduced for the site:

stile - alpine · 07-27-2009, 03:03 PM

I'm impressed, never thought azzuro was so beautiful under the sun light

must be even better to see it on the metal!

congrats for your choice, very beatiful and different!

Gcalo · 07-27-2009, 03:33 PM

I have had it a while and it sure gets a great deal of attention.

Most common question is "what is that color?".
