Hello my 993 brothers. We're in the Bay area for a few days. What a gorgeous place and the weather simply incredible. Two things:
1. Who's Aventurine Green cab is this on Bridgeway in Sausalito?
2. Can someone please ID this tree? Wife is very curious, but no one here, I guess all tourists, knows. Cheers!
Hi, think you'll find it's a Pohutukawa, native of New Zealand ( also called a christmas tree, sometimes). Somebody (city planner or some such) introduced them to SanFran after visiting NZ. Apparantly, they've become something of a problem as they are quite aggressive water seekers & the root system is causing havoc in city water mains in SanFran. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrosideros_excelsa

I don't think those are poinciana trees. Perhaps red flowering gumtrees or "corymbia ficifolia"
We happen to have a smaller one in our backyard and we live near to Sausalito.
P.S. That photo isn't of our tree.
SpyderMan- spot on! The Mrs did some further investigation, and indeed it's Corymbia Ficifolia! Now, we can move on to other attractions in SF. Thank you
The car is identical to my first cab that I bought... in Bay area in 2004. The one still on my avatar. But I don't think it's been there since, so, barring the time travel, its not it.

PS. Just trying to join the hooligan rank.
Nile- I really like the AG/Black top combo. Beautiful car!
Not sure you want to join the rank. AOW has lifetime membership.
