| intended route through the Sierras so we opted for Plan �B�, the droning Highway 5. The rain was very light, and once over the first mountain range we were greeted with a beautiful day ! A sign of things to come ? There is something magical about driving an exotic, in a large convoy of other DeTomasos. I sometimes wished I was a passenger, at least for a short time, just so I could take better photographs of the other cars. I love to observe a Mangusta or Pantera at speed. I imagine how the wind flows over the sculpted lines of the body, as I hear the purr of the tires, and feel the rumble of the engine. This surreal experience can not be truly felt while looking at a stationary automobile, no matter how much you work your imagination. There is nothing like this experience. |
