La Folie is probably one of the better SF restaurants and is on Polk not too far from the Civic Center area. Near the Symphony & Ballet, Absinthe & Jardiniere aren't bad. Also, you can't go wrong with the dining room at the Ritz or Campton's Place. In the South Bay, Manresa (Los Gatos) and...

Saw a blue NSX at the SJ airport long term parking facility on Tues.

Saw a clean red NSX-T parked at the gas station/store at the intersection of HW35 (Skyline) and HW84 (Woodside) around 11:00 am Sunday along with a bunch of other interesting cars. I was on a carbon colored Colnalgo.

Sunday was a sucky day all around. Two cyclist killed by a Sheriff on Stevens Creek Canyon Rd., another few mowed down on HW 35 near Alice's restaurant by a woman turning right in front of a 30+ mph paceline (fortunately, no fatalities) - and now these poor scooter folks. I passed by the...

Saw a black NSX on West Alpine Road (past Skyline/HW35) on Sat shortly after noon. I waved - I was driving a carbon fiber colored Colnago... Also saw a white NSX on 280 south near downtown SJ in the late afternoon. License plate was BAD NSX. I was driving my hybrid and passed you on the...

Thanks for asking Carlos but it's Chinese New Year so unfortunately (vis-a-vis NSX stuff) I have to head out of town to visit with the family. I trust you folks will do the right thing nonetheless!

I'd be willing to support a formal "Silicon Valley" chapter, which could encompass SF et al. The "SF Bay Area" moniker is so last century...

They're usually quite competent. I bring my Zanardi there regularly. I recommend them...

I was 1.8 miles from the epicenter during the Loma Prieta quake. This time, I was a little farther out but Mt. Hamilton is still pretty close to Alum Rock, so I took a pretty good hit. Lost some crystal, have some cracked marble tiles, and an exploding bottle of Chalula hot sauce - what a...

BofA is bad, good, or great depending on your service level. Standard retail banking isn't especially good - but pretty much typical of retail banking. Premier Banking is much better - they send you birthday cards and Christmas presents, let you bypass lines, better rates on deposits (e.g...

Got an email from the webmaster of the IMSA site - it takes about 3-4 weeks to get the pictures from the photographer so the pictures will be up around mid-November.

Welcome aboard RNSX! Sorry I couldn't chat with you further, but the driving-in-the-opposite-direction thing made that difficult. Love your car - only the third Zanardi I've seen. Perhaps we can synch up in some other NorCal event. BTW, thanks to the rest of you for all the info. Reminds me...

I saw one other Zanardi at the ALMS event while we were staging for the parade lap. I spoke briefly with the driver in passing and I think it may have been #38? Anyone on this board? Any other Zanardis there?

Don't forget about picking the right tree to point the nose at when entering the corkscrew! I was a passenger and the driver wasn't particularly speeding, so no problems here! BTW, is turn 1 really a turn or just a jog left?
