Ferrari California 2010

Ferrari California 2009

Ferrari California 2009

The hard work of publishing a web site never stops. I have just gotten over the my travels to Europe where I shot the European daily drivers for posting on the AllCarCentral.com web site, (Still waiting for AllCarCentral.com visitors to send us some of their photos) and now I have just received an invitation to do an other test drive of a new Ferrari. Ferrari just released the Ferrari California last summer (see that entry below where we had our first look, over a glass of fine Italian wine) and now Ferrari is allowing us to put our finger prints on the wheel and shift lever while traveling at some yet to be discovered velocity. Keep logging in to get the report on this up-shifting news.

Looking Far and Wide

Rolls Royce Phantom II Boat Tail Skiff 1933

Rolls Royce Phantom II Boat Tail Skiff 1933

Maybe we will see a 1933 Rolls Royce Phantom II Boat Tail Skiff like this one.

Given that the post of September 8 featured an over the top Tramontana from Spain and given that we at AllCarCentral.com will do everything we can to bring our visitors the best. We have decided to travel to Spain and parts east to find more interesting cars in their own environment. Possibly we will find some locals that will send us photos and data straight from their towns so that we at AllCarCentral.com will not be forced to make these long journeys to the far-off lands, like the birth place of Ferrari for instance.

It’s a tough life but someone has to live it

Corvette in Huntington Beach, California

1953/2003 Commemorative Edition Corvette

1953/2003 Commemorative Edition Corvette

We at AllCarCentral.com go to great lengths to find the interesting cars to post. This special was sitting on the street in Huntington Beach, CA. It is carrying a numbered Advanced Automotive Technologies Registration plaque noting it to be Number 089 of its series.

Advanced Automotive Technologies produced a limited production of the 1953/2003 Commemorative Edition Corvette which combines the retro styling of the original 1953 Corvette with the modern power and comforts of the 2000's Corvette. However it is not a vehicle officially endorsed by General Motors.

The vehicle is based on a customer provided Chevrolet Corvette C5 convertible or Corvette Hardtop (not hatchback). All new body panels are installed using the same attachment locations as production panels. A small recess cut into the rear trunk inner fiberglass to clearance the new deck lid contours is the only modification to production vehicle. There are no structural modifications. All safety related items remain intact.

Over-Over-The-Top-All-Car-Weekend: Part 1

Tramontana from Spain

The Tramontana from Spain.

This take-no-prisoners, car was setting just outside the wine-but-no-drive Iconic tent.

I now have a chance to report on the fantastic Monterey California "Over-Over-The-Top-All-Car-Weekend" that happens every August. As previously noted, we had received several invitations and confirmations to cover many of the automotive unveilings, shows and races that were more than filling up the 4 days we were there.

Things almost came off as planned. Over all, with one major exception, the weekend was a success. In the past, Thursday has been the day to photograph and document the grand automobiles, which are placed around the green that was the Blackhawk Exposition Sale at Pebble Beach. The event was not available this year, due to the economy, I presume. Although this was a disappointment, there were many other things to do to fill in the afternoon. We chose to shoot the cars of the Pebble Beach Tour d'elgance while they were in Carmel.

This allowed us to be close to our afternoon appointment with ICONIC Motors. My understanding and I have since reviewed the missives from Iconic Motors, and can not see where I may have misread, was that we were invited to do a ride/drive in their newly released Iconic AC Roadster. Mind you, the new Porsche Panamera 4 door sedan was just up the road being test-driven. I had chosen the very “Hot Flashy Open Roadster” over the more conservative sedan.

So can I say that I was not ecstatic when we arrived at the Iconic Motors tent, expecting an adrenalin rush but receiving a glass of wine and tour of an exposed chassis intended to show-off the high-tech engineering of their look-alike AC Cobra Roadster. Wine is fine but not a replacement for Roadsters or Porsches. Come back tomorrow they said. However the bigger disappointment was still yet to come.

The August Monterey Weekend

Pebble Beach 2007

Clara Cunningham Photo

Gret news for AllCarCentral.com and you, our visitors. We have conformation for our media covering of the upcoming 36th Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races
Mazda Raceway this August 14-16, 2009 at Laguna Seca, Monterey, California 2009. This rounds out all the events that our team can cover in this over the top, car intense weekend.

We will be at Pebble Beach that Thursday recording Blackhawk Museum's cars, and checking in with the Pebble Beach Concours people, to get set up for the big Sunday show. Infiniti will provide the Media Center at Pebble, which gives one a nice place to organize the day. Infinity will also have a reception on Friday that will show off the "Infiniti's all-new 2011 M" by Global Virtual Preview, (guess it's going to be a bit like a TV show, this one)

Friday morning will have us at the Concorso Italiano 2009 immersed in all that wonderful excitement at their new location, back on the green. After a hard day there, we will try to make it back to the Infinity reception. Negotiating the forests of Pebble Beach area has always been a challenge but with the GPS aids, all becomes a fun experience.

Saturday is the Race day at Mazda Raceway and Porsches will rule! The last time Porsche was at Laguna Seca was 1998, Porsche's 50 year mark. It was Porsche Pandemonium. There were more Porsches there than one could count. I had to park so far away by the time I made it back to the track the day was about over. I have never seen so many cars at this track before or since.

Sunday it is back to the soft green of the lawns at Pebble Beach and their special hospitality. This is a Show of Shows and will provide all with Bentley Team cars, Ferraris and much, much more. Cars that are so rare that one can only dream of seeing them and yet there they are. Brought to this blessed place at great expense and placed there for one's personal wonderment. I personally stand in awe as I ponder how the automobile has so evolved.

Its been a space since my last post

Saleen Ford 2002

Saleen Ford 2002

Its been a space since my last post. Much to do to get the photos and stories onto the web. Too many images and stories and not enough time.

The last posts covered the NASCAR weekend and since then I had our main computer go down. This put me to struggling with the back-up with its 10 megs of ram. One goes to have a coffee while things load. After much swearing and great help from Doctor Google, I made the leap and blindly replaced the PSU (power supply unit). Went up from a 380 watt PSU to a 5oo watt one. And. Happy days! All the lights that mysteriously went dark came back to bright again. Almost like the bloody thing was made by the "Prince of Darkness" Lucas Electric. Well that almost took a week of loosing stuff, fixing things and doing stuff all over. But all is back to the normal out-of-control state. The Ford section, which comprised of 14 galleries', has been rewritten so that now most all gallery pages are sorted by years. The cars run from 1914 to 2009 so there is a fine display of Ford cars to enjoy. Next, Chevrolet, Alfa Romeo and Mercedes Benz pages are needing to be 'improved'.

Bits and pieces: A visitor to the site sent us some very nice photos of her 1913 Saxon. Many Contributors are sending photos and stories of their and found cars. Dozens of cars are added weekly.

We have received the photo passes for the Concorso Italiano and Pebble Beach Concours this coming August. This will really add to the great photos we all ready have of these fantastic old and fast cars that show up at Monterey California each August. If you like cars and haven't experienced this yet have a look at the pages linked to this site. http://www.allcarcentral.com/concours_and_car_show.html It will blow your socks off. All the cars which we shoot ends up on the proper pages for that make.

NASCAR on a road course

NASCAR on a road course Infineon Raceway San Francisco, California

NASCAR on a road course. Infineon Raceway near San Francisco, California.

This last weekend, Infineon Raceway near San Francisco, California, was host for 3 days to one of the great automotive world specials. NASCAR cars on a road course. Infineon is a, tough twisty up hill and down, road track with a much car-jumping and fender banging show for all to see. This goes on for 350 Miles or 110 laps of the track. The sun was not too hot and the day played out on schedule with all the planed events. The one surprise was the winner, which was Kasey Kahne, in car 9, who had struggled with the track in the early part of the weekend. Kasey gave all at the track an additional bonus. Richard Petty had been absent from the Winners Circle for far to long. But this Sunday, with a smile brighter and broader than the sun "King Richard" drank wine from the Winners Goblet.

AllCarCentral.com had not received a call from the NASCAR world previous to this weekend to shoot up-close and personal, but this day we were finally there and we did get up close.

The 2010 Ferrari California

The 2010 Ferrari California

The 2010 Ferrari California

I received a nice surprise by email inviting AllCArCentral.com to the unveiling of the new Ferrari California at its arrival to Northern California's San Francisco dealer. So how could that be turned down?? Red Wine and red Ferrari cars! With Camera in hand, my lovely partner and I made the comfortable drive from the AllCarCentral.com's world head quarters, to have a look and record the show. With some fanfare, the shy well-covered form setting in the showroom was finally exposed to all. The lady in her shiny black paint showed off as her metal hard top retracted, reveling the great Pininfarina lines. We all then had a chance to sit in a very business like seat to enjoy that new Ferrari leather smell.

I am now patiently waiting for an invitation to go back and make a test drive, like we had with that fantastic 599 GTB some weeks ago.

"Heavenly Indulgence" and Ferraris

"Heavenly Indulgence" and Ferraris

The "Paddock at the Livery", In Danville, California, was the host and site for the event titled "Cavallinos at the Paddock" or (Ferrari Car Show) Yes there were many Ferraris and most were red. There were also a few other cars parked around languishing in the soft sunlight of this very nice setting, blessed with fantastic California weather, like a Porsche RS P2 Spyder. Nice stuff to look over.

I was there with camera capturing all the fine shapes for the pages of the website, AllCarCentral.com. As I had shot most all the cars on the field I changed my attention to the conversation behind me. The very fashionable woman's clothing boutique' and co-event host, "Heavenly Indulgence" was getting ready to start a fashion show which would be staged alongside the fast red cars. Well I may be old but I have not slowed down that much. I gathered up all the lovely young ladies and we shot some very fine photos with Ferraris as the backdrop. How Fine is that! "Heavenly Indulgence" indeed, and Ferraris

Race Weekend at Infineon Raceway

Turn 2 Infineon Raceway  Somona, California

Turn 2 Flat-Out

Infineon Raceway in Somona, California this last weekend. The great thing about this type of race event is two things. One, it is an automotive history lesson with out the written test and Two, you can walk up to the cars and drivers and talk to them between races. Try to do that with the NASCAR Boys.

Ferrari in the San Francisco, California, Bay Area

Ferrari 612 Scaglietti 599 GTB

Ferrari in the San Francisco, California, Bay Area

Choices. Choices. I took the red one.

Ferrari came to the San Francisco, California, Bay Area and AllCarCentral.com was there.

So what is so new about Ferrari coming to the Bay Area? They have always had a dealer there and ran races at the Sonoma race track, now called Infineon Raceway. So what was the big deal? Well for one thing, As noted above, we were there to record it. This series of events included a night party at Mill Valley Ferrari dealership with red Italian wine and red Ferraris to highlight the India tour of the Ferrari 599 GTB. Ferrari billed it as "The Galleria Ferrari Photography Exhibition And Cocktail Reception Featuring images from the Ferrari Panamerican and Magic India Discovery Tours"

The next bit involved Ferraris of several year/models running along side Alfa Romeos and Maserattis in the historic car races that ran over a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Mixed in with the older car races were the Ferrari F430 Challenge cars that made up the main event. The Challenge race is always a hard fought race but this year the three days of rain made the spectator thing even more exciting, as well, I assume, the actual driving.

The final event for this fantastic display of Italian power and design was the invitation for AllCarCentral.com to have a go at actually driving one of these new V12 cars, which are billed as the most powerful Ferrari. Ever! Actually the invatition presented an interesting choice, as both the 599 GTB and 612 Scaglietti were available but only one could be driven. I choose the 599 and never looked back.

The Race weekend was 3 days of rain. Ok for watching the slipping around on the track that provided some exciting racing but when I pulled into the Mill Valley Ferrari dealership, the light mist that was falling was not making me feel warm and fuzzy about getting behind all that power and pulling out into the Marin Peninsula traffic in the wet.

To meet me, was a fine young man hired by Ferrari to keep all the driving honest, safe and interesting. Tony Brakohiapa, racecar driver and instructor with the Jim Russell Racing Drivers School at Infineon Raceway, gave me a rundown on the controls in the cockpit and instructed me to push the starter button.

Can I say this car is nice? Everything is in the right place. Power everything, windows, AC, seats, auto rain detection on the wipers, and so on. I only had to push on the two pedals on the floor, turn the wheel in front of me and flip the little paddles on the wheel with just one finger to make real excitement happen. The car does all the rest. No problem. Before we moved forward Tony pointed out a set of indicators on the wheel that selected sport driving, normal driving and a mode that addressed the needs which rain driving demanded. Tony wisely stated that the selector was to be left in the 'rain' mode.

The 599 GTB is a road car. It is easy to see out of, to move around the driveway, to move through traffic. The trunk is large and there is ample room in the cabin for coats and packages that come with living life in a day-to-day fashion or driving through out the day. High performance cars usually need high concentration on the driver's part to operate. The 599 GTB, however is there to serve the driver. Moving this car around is like moving my wife's daily driver. Until. Until that is, as Tony instructed me to flick that small paddle on the left side of the wheel twice.

The Song of Maranello.

Enzo Ferrari was the composer of the real national song of Italy, and it can only be properly played by a V12 Ferrari Engine.

A silky smooth explosion of forward velocity is the reward of downshifting and right foot pressure. Pure pleasure is the sensation. This is not my wife's daily driver or any of its contemporaries. This a super class Ferrari ready to serve.

My loop around Tony's carefully chosen roads ends way to soon and we are back at the dealership. But The Song of Maranello will forever be with me. Buy one of these and take you mate shopping. It will do the job, hold the packages and more.

Ferrari Racing Days at Infineon Raceway, California, 2009

Ferrari F430 Ferrari Racing Days at Infineon Raceway, California, 2009

Ferrari F430

This is a real sleeper in the racetrack spectator world. where can, these days, a racing fan find three days of hard door-to-door, door- banging, racing at a laid-back racing event. And I may add, at a very reasonable ticket price.

Ferrari Racing Days at Infineon Raceway this year provided two major venues, the Ferrari F430 Challenge Race and the historic Italian racecar race. The latter, placed historic Ferrari, Maseratti and Alfa Romeo cars on the track, at speed, and driven with the same zeal and skill as the original pilots of the past. Ferrari V12 songs are the music for the ears. Red is the candy for the eyes.

Ferrari F430 Challenge Race, however was a different thing all together. These high performance, highly prepared, modern race cars driven by skilled and highly motivated amateur racecar drivers become the battle chariots from modern Rome.

It could be said that the Ferrari F430 Challenge Race is a contact sport. Oh by the way, did I mention that it was raining and the track was wet. This is no wimpy NASCAR-I-won't-drive-in-the-rain group. Formula One and European road racing, do-it-in-the-rain and so does the Ferrari Racing Days group.

Spins and banging is the method use to move ones car forward. Don't get me wrong, there is real skill being demonstrated. This is raw racing at its best.

Ferrari 599 V12

The Ferrari 599 V12 road car was sent to India to show off its wonderful V12 power to this emerging economic power. To show off the India event, Ferrari North America threw a party and covered the walls of the Mill Valley Ferrari dealership with fantastic photos of the
juxtaposition between this super car and the resident working Indian elephants.

Fine red Italian wine and great red Italian Ferraris were the setting for the photo display. I can say that each element received equal attention. But the cars were the stars.

April in San Francisco, California

California  Mille San Francisco, California

San Francisco, California

One of the annual events for AllCarCentral.com to cover is the California Mille which sets off with some 70 historic race cars and departs San Francisco's famed Nob Hill. The festivities of the car display, in front of the Grand Old Lady, which is the Fairmont Hotel, is an inspiring way in which to start the drive. The cars, who are the true celebrities, are driven down a red carpet and set aside in the soft April San Francisco sun to bask and pose for all to enjoy.

On a personal note with this being an odd year, I was very disappointed, after my long stint of shooting the cars, when I went off with my lovely wife to find a quiet spot to enjoy a glass of wine and reflect up on all the splendor of which we had witnessed. This remember, is at top of the famed Nob Hill in the center of San Francisco, California and in the mid of the afternoon. We tried the door of no less than three bars and found them locked up tight including no less The-Top-of-The-Mark. "Come back later" were the signs. As we were not part of the registered troupe that made up the California Mille, we disappointedly cast our tired thirsty selves off the backside of the "Hill" in search of the famed California Wine.

Plug-in Toyota Prius

100 MPG Plug-in Toyota Prius

This last few days have been used to finish uploading the photos from the fantastic 4 days at Monterey, California. I shoot about 600 images a day and in the end I name most of the files with the name of the car and the location and date of the shot. I have discovered a simple way to convey a lot more information about the cars which I photograph and display on the web site. This takes about 30 percent more work for each car but it is very much worth it. The set of files that I am now undertaking is from the San Francisco Auto Show this last November and will show all the 2009 models. I have to finish all of my 2008 photo shoots so that I will be ready for starting all over with the 2009 events. The first events start this month. I don't think I will make it.

Remodeling Website

Corvette Taxi: Hot Cars and Beautiful Women

Corvette Taxi: Hot Cars and Beautiful Women. Good Day

I have used the last few days to remodel the home page and some of the major portal pages that move our visitors into the body of the subjects they are interested in. This hopefully will make our guests visits more pleasurable and productive.

We have added 2009 data sheets from several car manufactures into the AllCarCentral.com archive sites for future reference and research by our visitors. The goal in this data archiving is to preserve all the data sheets from the manufactures of their current car models, each
year. Any submissions from our viewers will be most welcome. We are moving through all the manufactures and presently have progressed through the letter "I" . Most all of the 2008 manufacture online sheets have been archived.

Photos from the AllCarCentral.com backlog of images are also being identified and uploaded most everyday. These images cover show cars, old cars normal cars and race cars. Have a look for your favorite car.
