Starting today, on the first Saturday of every month, there will be an informal car meet at the parking lot across from Poggio Restaurant in Sausalito. About three dozen cars showed up. I'm still kicking myself for not being quick enough to snap a picture of the Lamborghini LM002 that sped off. You could hear it a mile away accelerating onto the Highway 101 onramp.
I desperately need to move to the west coast.
ReplyDeleteThe only regular car meet there is out here is a Friday night meet with a bunch of raggedy old cars that I was kicked out of for taking pictures without asking permission first and "kindly" asked by Mr. Police Office not to come back or be arrested.
@F1O: You crazy Floridians.
ReplyDeleteToday was a great carspotting day. On the road, I saw a Maserati Bora, a jet black Ferrari California with the top down, and a VW Rabbit pickup truck that passed me at 80 mph (was that possible?) and the driver gave me a thumbs up.
Is that gray car with the cycle fenders (first pic) a Lancia Lambda?
ReplyDelete@Alan: Good eye. It belongs to the organizer:

Wow. I love those early Lambdas - along with the Tatra T77 and Citroen DS probably the most advanced car for its day ever built.
ReplyDeleteoh, wow - what a collection he has, Tatra T87 and all.
ReplyDeleteI'm not huge Ferrari fan but that silver 330 does it for me. Really clean lines on that beauty.
