Folks,
Thanks for the kind words. A few answers.
Chuck,
No shots of the BTR as three from my family went (including my lovely wife), so to avoid arrested for child abuse (Melissa in the back of the Ruf), we took the RX330 instead.
Rhino and Logan,
This was an impromptu drive as I had to match my daughter's day off and weather. Next time if we can plan it a little, I will try to announce it on Rennlist here so we can have a few more buddies along.
Kevin,
If you are interested, I would love to put together a Bay Area Ruf meet/drive. It's time your lovely Turbo-R meet Rufus.
Matt,
" So not freezing"....
Marcus,
I was about 20' from the mother pub combo. As that pub crunches over to scratch, the skin all folded up as shown. The sun hit it the right way so one can see the folds clearly. Now looking at the picture closely, I think I can see the umbilical cord as well. That's is a new real-born pub.
Steve's lovely puppy is named Turbo, a veritable chick magnet. So here are 2 truly rare shots: my wife Margaret with Turbo, and my daughter Melissa with Rufus.
Enjoy.

Pong,
GREAT photos... thanks for allowing me to tag along. Melissa was good company... until she wanted to go back to the luxury of the Lexus!
I actually did meet Kevin once at Santana Row, and our Turbo R's got introduced. His, of course is like a brand new car, while ol' Rufus now has 118,000 miles! I would love another get-together. Anytime, any place.
Happy New Year to all.

Once I get my current project done (about 2 weeks) I'd love to get together for drive and group shot!
Happy New year everyone!

Great photographs Pong! Looked to be another beautiful day on the Pacific coast. It'll be awhile for us in the PNW to be able to walk around in flipflops. The best to you and your family in the New Year!

My wife loves Cambria, truly beautiful place.
we always eat at the restaurant on Moonstone Beach at the southern end, I think it is called "the Sea Chest"
Terrific food and atmosphere.
