Less talking, more pics. I had to cut out early for family stuff, so the driving itself wasn’t as much of an event as the fact that So. Many. F355s. Were. Gathered. Together. We must have set a record for 2017.

Evidence of gang activity.

A miracle that no two cars had the same colour!

The Spiders

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

And the other cars in the group drive, including a drop-dead-gorgeous white Alfa 4C that I got to test drive. The lack of power steering means it’s heavy, but nothing my skinny Chinese arms couldn’t manage.

Lots of exotics

Friend’s new-to-him GT-R

The driver of the Abarth also has a red 4C.

SO. HOT.

That fire truck knows a hot spot when it sees one. The F355 club could be called the Engine Out Club.

Epic is right! The F355 is my favorite Ferrari, and seeing so many together, all in different colors and configurations, would have sent me into a frenzy.

I can’t even imagine the sound of them all driving together. *drools*

The F355 has to be one of the prettiest Ferraris of all time.

Not gonna disagree with that one!

We didn’t get any GTS targas but I’m not complaining!

Let’s just say that motorists and cyclists got an earful of Tubis and Capristos.

Have you been in the GT-R? If so what are your thoughts compared to the F355. I have always been put off by AWD. From my experience a RWD car just seems more fun.

Saw you guys heading up 9 as I was coming down from a morning drive. Beautiful cars. Seeing two LaFerrari in a row was awesome that they were out driving.

Someone ruined it though in a BMW hitting a truck head on. I’m bummed because that was one of my favorite early morning driving roads, I’m sure now there is going to be heavy speed enforcement on it.

Nope not yet, looking to meet up with him soon.

I wish I could have seen the caravan from an outside perspective!

Yes, a member of our group was hit by a speeding BMW which took out a truck and a Tesla in addition to his car. Nobody was hurt, but he had his daughter in the car which left him understandably scared.

Yea it was pretty cool coming the opposite direction and getting to see everyone. It was sort of a crack up because there were so many cars it was basically an expensive traffic jam going up the hill.

No F355 GTS (targa)?! What is the world coming to?

I don’t personally know any GTS owners and have only seen one GTS, ever, since I became a Berli man.

I just saw these pics on F-chat and was wondering if the red B was yours. Absolutely stunning! How did you like the 4c?

Donated some funds to the Cal Fire boot outside Alices’ on Sunday! I was fortunate enough to sneak in a swift run up Pescadero Rd and south on Skyline late in the afternoon. La Honda going out to HWY 1 was a snoozefest - what do you expect on a holiday weekend though...

Kept our cars on their best behaviour.

Yeah, the traffic was pretty bad and we even got held back on Skyline. But I’m not complaining, we managed to create quite a scene!

I like it a lot. It’s a little small for my taste, but still roomier than an Elise which leaves no elbow room between the two seats.

And dat bod........it’s no wonder Pininfarina needed a bailout, all their talent seemingly bled out to Alfa and Ferrari’s in-house styling studios!

Let’s just say that I test drove it for a reason =)

Hah I’ll bet. I generally stick with < 3 cars, 8 a.m. or 4pm start if driving is the main concern, but a good time can be simply cruising with friends.

The fog was rolling in fast this weekend!

:( Strange. There weren’t a small number produced, and I regard them to be the best of the 3!

Agreed. All the drop-dead looks of the coupe and some of the open-air feel of the Spider, without the maintenance trouble of the power folding top.
