Also, last Sunday, Maurice Van Den Thillaard (Dutchman Photos) shot some pics of my car, along with Chuck Miller's beautiful '73 S. I have to say I like Chuck's paint and wheels better than mine- but my dad likes the black wheels so they stay for now. Maurice is a really cool guy to talk to, and Chuck shared some great stories of growing up around the Ferrari/Alfa dealer and repair shop.
Supposed to be a story on me in Total 911 at some point. The Excellence one took about a year so I don't know when this one might run.
It was a fun run on fast Mulholland, though. I got to do multiple high-speed, loud passes for the camera. Twisty Mulholland by the Rock Store was occupied by Tanner Faust for that stupid Ford commercial, so we headed south and ended up going up Stunt and down Saddle Peak Road and Tuna Canyon. I haven't been on either of those last two roads in a car before. I did part of Saddle Peak on my bicycle, but after I came up Piuma-Shueran. I haven't done Stunt on the bike yet. Mostly because the surface seems a whole lot rougher after they re-paved it a few years ago. It felt really rough in the 911.
Oh, and Chuck is ****** fast!
The way his car cornered was like it was on rails. I definately did not have the confidence in my abilities or my car's to follow him. He's right up there with Dave B and Magnus I would say for speed. I need to get out to the track so I can keep up with him.
