Truthfully, although I enjoyed driving your Murcielago, it also made me realize that it's just too much car for me. I still loved driving it though.

Jason, I can't wait to see your pictures too. And I am so jealous you got to drive the exotics. Perhaps you can let them know I am a really good driver too (and trained) so I can take some test drives sometime!

Wow, I'm kinda sorry I mentioned it now. Apparently, I hit a sore spot. Sorry.
I think my ol' Ferrari 308 isn't expensive enough to classify as an exotic, so, I'll be parking elsewhere if I come again. Maybe I'll still be welcomed at Exotics on Main.
BTW: One of the SUVs was the owner who, despite knowing we were having our get-together and seeing many other open spaces elsewhere in the parking lot, felt he had every right to that spot.

I was actually quite sad the the lighting on your 308 was never quite right. It would have been great to get some pics of it that I liked (I have six that I don't like thanks to minor imperfections.).

What a turnout today was! I had a great time seeing everyone. I actually took the time to talk to people today instead of just focusing on taking pictures. What a change that was from the past events I've gone to. Later on I started taking pictures and will be posting those when they're done. I went on a drive with some of the Lambo boys (John, Tommy, Rick, and William) out to North Bend to take some more pictures. We had a colorful bunch of exotics in our caravan which turned quite a few heads.
I have to give a special thanks to both William and Tommy for letting me sample their exotics! I was surprised how well the LP640 handled on some of those back roads and when I had a chance to unleash all 657 hp, she MOVED, or hell, the EARTH moved! You could say that my face kind of looked like this,
And like I told Tommy and the others, The LP640 may not have as much road feel as the Scuderia nor my 997TT but she definitely handled those tight corners with aplomb and utter ease. She's a beast and a very nimble one at that too. Thank you Tommy!
And then thanks to William for letting me take some more pictures yet again...I'm still experimenting with a series of different angles and ideas which I think you guys will enjoy seeing. It's also fun seeing the reaction of all the folks all over the place whenever I drove by in the LP640 and the Scuderia. A majority of folks must have gotten whiplash because of that.
James, nice job taking pictures! You certainly didn't disappoint!

After having had 400 hp cars I thought 600 would be manageable. What an idiot I was, thankfully the LP640 has the safety net of AWD. And Tommy again your the example of a true car enthusiast, even to those that drive lowly plastic sports car....LOL

Yea, it was a lot of fun and I just wish I had more time to talk to everyone. We will have more help at the next gathering so it should go even better. We will need to start taking up some of the second lot too.

Just my opinion, but having 10 of the same stock F430s in the same lot gave people not much to look at. A couple of the unique onese would have been good. It looked like there were a few cars outside the main area that should have made it in. Overall it was a fun, but cold event. Thanks for getting these put together.
