Ferrari 250 GT & GTO, California Spyder, Daytona, 330P4, 412P, Daytona SP3, 12 Cilindri. And this was a free event, preceded by a short driving tour on a 17-mile highway.

Lovely Saturday on the state park grounds of Laguna Seca, watching Italian masterpieces zip by, accompanied by the mighty roar of V6, V10, and V12 engines. It was my first encounter with the beautiful and powerful FXX and FXX-K Evo cars, the out-of-this-world 499P, and the F2002 F1 car. Plus a nice display of the fresh 296GTB model in vibrant colors.

Classic and super cars shot at Carmel-By-The-Sea downtown during the 2022 Monterey Car Week. This place was swarming on Thursday. Absolutely gorgeous downtown to have lunch and walk around. Downtown restaurants must have made a fortune that day!
