Yeah, Colin wants this Miura. I can't believe I actually have a car that he doesn't have.

If I had Charley's money I'd own it https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

For now I am perfectly content driving my crappy 65 GT350 with the Paxton on it around here. Even if the seat belts are "too small" for some members that have ridden in it https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

I do love that damn Miura, reminds me of my old Eddie Lawson KZ1000! Will be at RM to see if their Miura S is any good. Mark knows they are few and far between...the search continues

Jim, as most restaurants in the Phoenix area are of the chain variety (nothing wrong with that, per se, just not very original), perhaps you might be interested in trying out a few local specials.

For steak, I'd try Durant's. It's on Central Ave near downtown, and is easy to get to from where you're staying. It's been there since 1950, I believe, which for Phoenix is quite old. It has that great 50's Rat Pack vibe to it and the food is good. http://phoenix.about.com/od/phoenixsteak/gr/durants.htm

For Italian, definitely try Pizzeria Bianco. Also located downtown. It was voted by one food magazine as the best pizza in the US. Living in NYC (so I think I have a decent comparison), I can say it is quite good. Chris brings in water from NYC to make the dough (it makes a difference, believe it or not), makes his own mozzarella, and usues all organic tomatoes. Make sure to get the tomato, basil and mozzarella appetizer. http://www.pizzeriabianco.com/

For Mexican, there's a bunch of places, but since I've stuck with the downtown area, I'll recommend Los Dos Molinos in South Phoenix. http://www.losdosmolinosaz.com/

I'll actually be back in AZ from Friday on restoring my 442 at my parents house, so if you want to swing by, feel free. Haha.

I concur with 68tom. Los Dos Malinos has taken alot of spice out of their recipes but still good. Add Rosa's mexican at university and mesa drive in mesa arizona if you want the best hole in the wall fish and shrimp tacos in north america. everything else is good also but I always have at least one taco.

Re: Beautimus Wx in store for Scottsdale
 

Bill's definitely right about Rosa's. It's excellent. They might have the best tortillas I've ever had.

Mango's in Old Town Mesa on Main St is pretty darn good too.
