Miura S, one of my favorite Lamborghinis. (the Miura Jota, my all time favorite)



Above, I can see the word Bellisimo! The next word, is the signature of Valentino Balboni, the Lamborghini test driver for decades. A legend in his own lifetime.


Above, it struck me as interesting that the rim is so very black and white, it has no colors but the manufacturers sticker, and looks like a photoshop trick, but it's not. I also wanted to point out that Campagnalo made the rims for the DeThomaso Pantera, and I've no idea how many other cool cars, but I recognized the name from bicycle parts on 10 speeds

Cruise for kids, fundraiser for the San Dieguito Boys and Girls clubs.. I learned about it too late to photograph it this year





 Not many happy reasons get a bridge shut down... but this one did. A lot of sports and exotic cars put together a fundraiser event to raise funds for the kids... very cool. Nino Venturella of Wells Fargo wealth management recruited from his clients with exquisite cars those that wanted to join in the cause to help out the kids... and started at the historic Hotel Del Coronado and had a police escort along the route to cut down on the stop lights breaking up the parade (maybe even to keep leadfoots in check.. there were at least 2 Bugatti Veyron, and lots of Porsche, Vipers, Vettes, Lambos, Ferrari, Astons, and Rolls Royce)
At the Del Mar track there was a car show (from what I read in a magazine article) and then a party at an airport hanger.


From the Hotel Coronado to the racetrack grounds of Del Mar, with a good look at the landscape and freeways that show off San Diego's natural good looks


Info, video, and images from http://www.c4ksd.com where there are many more galleries of the event at the various locations they stopped
