Yes its driving in the rally. Clearance is a big problem for this model. The car is a factory demo car with out the height adjustable suspension that customer cars will come with so we have been very careful where we have driven it so far. We are moving the car to the city sometime tomorrow afternoon. Tonight we are going to do a dry run to plan out a route because the start is at the top of Nob Hill in SF with rough roads all over SF and very steep inclines. It should be interesting, we were joking around last night in the garage that we might take the whole front end off to get the car to the start.
Wish everyone good luck especially to our buddy Reza!! See everyone in LA and SD!

We decided to take it over to the Fairmont at 9:30 last night before the pre Gumball party. We got into the car and ........... the battery was dead. So we had to take the whole front end off to get to the battery, which was easier than expected. Just twist 2 handles, lift and pull and the front end comes off. No problems thank God, we took it up Van Ness then onto California St, its now siting out front of the Fairmont hotel with Max's Jag XJ220 S, an SLR and an Enzo should arrive this morning. Looking forward to tonights party, last night was a great time with new and old friends.
