Awesome to hear this in action! I just saw it during a couple of weeks ago and did a short video too, but just static sitting in the shop. Amazing, thank you for sharing it with us!
California is such a great location for car touring, I am grateful every time I have the pleasure. Palm Springs just broke their 123 degree temp record, and the sandstorms in that area are no joke. auto club insurance has many accounts of cars rolling in with sandblasted windshields and no paint on the front. on the other hand , Palm Springs did have a radio station that broadcast nothing but Sinatra 24/7. no interpretations of songs by other singers, no tribute recordings, Sinatra. Not even a dang announcer , a grocery store chain commercial once in a great while, then return to Sinatra.
I miss my 356. I have a built 2276 that I have been saving for my next Porsche. I have a 67 split window bus atm but will have an aircooled Porache again. Your Alfa is sweet. That little v8 is cool as well..
Hope you take to constructive criticism where my comment will help you in the future or you can take it has I am attacking you, which I am not. That being said, the only reason I gave you a thumbs down, is on your narrative talents. work on that and your next videos will be a thumbs up for me. You’re young and I think you would appreciate an explanation. I think you should try to make it more of a professional show give us a map your route, the towns, all the little odds and ends. I don’t like people running their mouth, the whole video you’re good at that but I was sometimes lost along the way and waiting for you to explain what was going on and where you were at?
Worked on one. Never drove it though. I’m fine with that as it was at the time a $11 million car and my insurance probably wouldn’t have covered a mishap.😝
What exactly do you do for work if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve followed along your instagram and you are always surrounded by these cool cars, are you a photographer? Love that you post and share with everyone!
The video was great, the car is stunning, but the audio was disappointing. I have a CMC Diecast model of this car in black and red and it is exceptional for a model car. Appropriately beautiful showroom, too!
The strange thing about the Cali Spyder is that they are rarely for sale, but like buses you wait for one for ages and then three come a long at the same time! 3 for sale at the moment, plus a replica on a 330 chassis, but no one is listing a price for the genuine cars, but the replica is at $1m. One of the most beautiful cars ever constructed, more beautiful than any DB4 or E-Type. Ferrari annoyed me when they used the California name on that later car in 2008, it looked like a flat pig. No car Ferrari has made to date since the 60s deserves the name of this incredible car. 🙄
Aha, so that is why you asked the driver how he was liking the car. Makes some sense now. I don't dare ask how much such a unique piece of automotive history might be worth on the open market. Clearlly it has gone to an owner who appreciates it and drives it as it should be driven. What a beautiful machine! I hope it will appear at some public events so that others will get a chance to see it and hear it run - I never knew this car existed. I suppose that slanted grill area is responsible for the light front end at speed. Needs a chin spoiler - just kidding!
Really nice walk around and your very wide knowledge of all the different models and cars was very impressive. It seemed like nearly all the stands were roped off, invite only I'm guessing? You can probably understand the reasons when you have cars worth multi millions, you would want to try and protect them etc. Still seems like a shame if you cant get really close to have a proper look around cars, that most people will have never seen before. Really enjoyed the walk around though, can you stay on for long, after the show seemed to have closed down for the day? Is there security to kick you out...😉😀
Majority of the stands would actually allow you to walk around inside. There would be a queue of people in a line waiting to go through as each stand could only have a certain amount of people on it at a time. Mercedes was the only stand that imposed this rule from what I saw. Funny enough the Porsche stand nextdoor to them was fully opened up and accessible for anyone to walk through. Towards the end of the show most stands put up their ropes. I was there as an exhibitor so I had as much access as I wanted. You could stay there pretty late but most of the cars will have covers over them 10 minutes after the show ends for the day.
