PRESIDENT’S MESSAGEDear FCA Members:
Ah, spring is here, my favorite time of year. It’s time to prep the cars for the best drivingmonths of the year. Dump the fluids, check tire pressure, tune that baby up and, don’t forgetthe wax, leather treatment, sunglasses and driving gloves.
Springtime in Southern California – it doesn’t get any better! Windows open, top downand some of the best roads on the planet are just waiting for a little clutch, gas and steeringaction. One of my favorites is to go up the coast to Ojai, then take Highway 33 to Highway166, and on to Santa Maria. Or, how about the California Poppy Reserve in Antelope Valley,in admiration of our state flower. Or maybe The San Marcos pass, to the Santa Ynez Valley, ismore your style where you can follow the trail of wineries as in the movie “Sideways.” Did Ihear Yosemite? Whatever your preference this is the best time to utilize your car for the very reason it was designed and built – TO BE DRIVEN.
The options are many; the distance can be long or short. The terrain can bring you to theside of the Pacific Ocean, through the magnificent deserts, or up to the forests and mountains.One of our two major Ride and Drives for the year is this May to the Giant Sequoias andpromises to be a terrific event. Ride and Drive Guru Tino Mingori has planned another adven-turous event through the back roads and I am sure he will be humming tunes from Bob Dylan’s“Highway 61 revisited” as he slithers his 275 GTB 4 down the road. And, on the more sponta-neous side, this is the time for everyone to dream up some great local trips, contact your AreaCoordinators and lead the group yourself. I encourage participation by all in these drivingevents.
As spring turns to summer another important aspect of our organization takes place, theelection of new members of the Board of Directors. This year three positions will become available. Again, I encourage everyone to participate and cast your vote. You will find a ballotenclosed in this Sempre Ferrari issue with biographies of each candidate for your review. Theresults of the election will be announced June 24th at our annual Members Meeting, which willbe held for the first time at an afternoon picnic at the Descanso Gardens. Following the picnic,and for those who would like, there will be an optional evening of live entertainment under thestars. See the related event information in this Sempre for details of this wonderful celebration.
I look forward to seeing you at our spring and summer events, and as always…
See you on the road!

The threat of rain yielded toclear skies and bright sunshine forthe Friday morning start. Thecourse this year followed a coastalroute avoiding freeways to the maxi-mum possible extent. A run upPacific Coast Highway and into theTopa Mountains brought the groupto its first rest stop in Montecitowhere participants from the Venturaand Santa Barbara area joined thegroup. Continuing through the SanMarcos Pass and along the shore ofLake Cachuma, the group proceed-ed to a lunch stop in Santa Ynez atTrattoria Grappolo. The restaurantstaff awaited our arrival withreserved parking immediately infront of the restaurant and half ofthe tables set aside for a qualityItalian luncheon that was enjoyed byall.
From Santa Ynez we proceededonward through the back roads ofFoxen Canyon to Santa Mariawhere we necessarily jumped ontothe 101 for a few brief miles toArroyo Grande. From there it wasall back roads into San Luis Obispoand the Apple Farm Inn wherereserved parking and a cordial staffawaited our arrival. After fresheningup or relaxing in front of the fire-place in each guest room, the open-ing dinner at the 1865 restaurantprovided a private room where par-ticipants could relive the spiriteddrive of the day over perfect roads
unblemished by the storm that didfinally arrive on Saturday.
Although rain was with us onSaturday morning, it did little tointerfere with our activities for thatday. The day began with a short runto the Edna Valley Vineyard wherethe group enjoyed a 90 minuteWine Seminar by Winemaker HarryHansen, a beautifully prepared lun-cheon paired with 6 wines and atour of the winery. Although mosthad participated in wine seminarsbefore, everyone agreed this wasunlike any they had previouslyattended. Winemaker, HarryHansen rarely conducts these semi-nars and he seemed to be enjoyinghimself as much as any of the partic-ipants. Because of his completeknowledge of winemaking, all ques-tions could be answered with what-ever level of comprehensiveness thegroup was able to accept. The semi-nar was complimented by a roomwith a view of rolling vineyards withthe hills across the Edna Valley inthe background. It was against thisbackground that the group watchedthe weather clear for a dry afternoonand following day when dry waswhat was needed.
At the conclusion of activities atthe Edna Valley Vineyard, a groupof enthusiastic drivers together withtheir navigators headed north toSanta Margarita and then east acrossHighway 58 into the San Joaquin
Valley. This route offered a chal-lenging 175 mile round trip as amethod for building up both aninventory of new stories as well as anappetite for the dinner ahead.
That evening, dinner was againin a private room at Café Roma.Conversation on this occasionreflected upon the day at EdnaValley and plans for the returnhome the following day. Those withother commitments planned a directreturn by way of the 101. Otherschose a return across Highway 58into the Valley and then overHighway 33 for a lunch stop inOjai. From there it was downHighway 150 to Santa Paula andthrough Balcom Canyon toMoorpark where the group rejoinedthe 101 in Westlake for the final leghome.
Veterans of last year’s GourmetRide enjoyed this year’s event forbeing different from before.Newcomers joined together with theVeterans in looking forward to whatnext year might have in store. It waspromised that the drive would con-tinue to follow its theme as theSeason Opening first Drive ofSpring to the Central Coast WineRegion with a Gourmet touch. Itwas also promised that a new desti-nation and different main eventwould again be central to thattheme. SF

he rain gods have always been on our side and thisyear was no exception. Even the usual “water and
mud on the road” was at a minimum with no complaintsexcept for needed “potty stops” and with this many cars notone mishap.
This year’s run was twice as long, taking us throughthe beautiful Murietta/Fallbrook back country mostly unexplored by any Ferrari or exotic cars. This has neverbeen considered a higher speed driving event with its narrowand curvy roads but more of a casual tour, with sightseeingand the destination as the climax. The route map is alwayschallenging with its many stops, turns and directions, butto my knowledge no one got lost. The first car to arrive atThornton took about two hours to complete the course.
Thornton Winery had its usual excellent fare of foodwith many taking part in their wine/champagne tasting.The ambiance was enhanced by a guitar player, original artdisplayed by Bill Dixon and vintage Ferraris on the upperlevel. You can count on the fingers of one hand how manyvintage Ferraris participated. Times have changed.
I always want to thank Tom Shaughnessy and hisfriends for their participation in this event with rare andvintage cars.
I appreciate all the participation and never ending helpfrom Don West. SF

ne of the annual rites of spring for car buffs is theMercedes Benz Classics for Charity in Beverly Hills.
This show marks the beginning of the concours season andis the clarion call to get your sports car out of winter storageand start planning for fair weather events. The organizersof the event wish to extend their gratitude to the FCAmembers who donated their time to prepare and show theircars which helped Classics for Charity achieve record atten-dance and raise significant funds to benefit the Beverly HillsEducation Foundation.
Among some of the notable attendees was GovernorArnold Shwartzenegger who enjoyed stunning entries suchas Chip Connor’s Porche RS60 Spyder, Bruce Meyer’sTR625, Michael Hammer’s original 427 Cobra FIA racerand the Peterson’s behemoth 1925 Rolls RoyceAerodynamic coupe. The range of display vehicles wentfrom Corvettes and muscle cars to hot rods, vintageMercedes, American classics, antique motorcycles and a fewrare Italian offerings. Interesting to many photo hungryattendees was a display of “movie star” owned machinesincluding Patrick Dempsey’s Panoz Esparante, SharonStone’s Aston Martin and Rod Stewart’s silver 550Barchetta, all presented by the Auto Vault.
