While sitting in a meeting today, I could hear the unmistakeable growl of an F-car. Peered out the conference room window to see a black/tan 456 cruised on by. | ||

Just got back from a quick errand in my Nissan. In Downtown Bellevue, a titanium/blue-ish silver 360 coupe flashed by while I was waiting at at stoplight some distance away. While it turned, it looked like it had bordeaux interior and larger aftermarket wheels (looked rather shiny). | ||

Dark blue/tan 355 spider tonight in front of El Gauchos on 1st & Wall St. First three digits on the license plate were 355, didn't get a chance to catch the rest. | ||

Yellow 360 could've been coming from Roger Jobs in Bellingham. It was a spider being transported with the top down? Interesting. | ||

Yellow 360 on top of a commercial car transport with a couple of BMW's and some other boring cars heading south on I-5 near Marysville on Saturday. There was no top on the car and no protective coverings of any sort. Rather surprised to see it being hauled this way. | ||

Looking forward to seeing Gary's new ride showing up here. And I echo the comments about seeing one of these in real life up close. | ||

Dave, If he's (yellow 355 owner) crazy like the rest of us then definitely invite him out. If not, invite him out anyways and we'll try to make him crazy.  | ||

The Yellow 355 I saw at the Sheraton a couple of weeks ago is a new car to the area from Miami. He contacted me privately so I won't "out" him. I don't know whether he's as crazy as some of us but I'll find out. | ||

A black 456 today at the Loew's on the Eastside. Parked rather crooked in a tight spot. | ||

Yes, I saw the yellow Countach on First Ave(going in the opposite direction), Sat. Oct 4th around 4:50 pm...it looked like a real one from my quick glance. | ||

Junior Member Username: Stokpro Post Number: 198 Registered: 6-2003 |
DJ, I think that's the same yellow Countach Handa and I always see in downtown. It's usually parked in Pike Place with the doors and hood open for show. It looks like a replica/kit car to me, but apparently it's the real deal. | ||

I saw a yellow Countach on North I-5, Lynnwood this Saturday while on my way home from the Festa Italiana. The car looked odd in some way. Proportioning seemed off, too short of a wheelbase or too narrow of a track. Couldn't be sure. It almost looked like a 3/4 or 7/8 replica. It had an American sounding V8 in it too. The car was pretty dirty as well. It carried 25th anniversary badges on it in addition to the usual bull. Anybody familiar with this car? DJ | ||

I just don't like going into downtown Seattle. One less thing to worry about if I don't take the Ferrari. | ||

Junior Member Username: Stokpro Post Number: 162 Registered: 6-2003 |
Willis, Guess I won't be "spotting" your 360 downtown, why is that? BTW, fly yellow 348 spider (with the top halfway/stuck up) this evening in front of Carillon Point Starbucks. Same parking stall I spotted Will's red 512TR the day before Kirkland Concours. | ||

I might drop by the Seattle center event for a bit. But not driving the 360 there. I really hate driving the Ferrari into downtown. | ||

Willis, Agreed, F-car over Lambo anyday! You going to Lapping Day, Fiesta Italiana, or USGP Party this weekend? | ||
| Willis Huang (Willis360)
Intermediate Member Username: Willis360 Post Number: 1617 Registered: 8-2001 |
Man, I think that Diablo owner would be better off selling it and get another Ferrari instead. At least Ferrari parts can be had in weeks (most likely days) instead of months. Keep that in mind if you have an urge to buy a Lambo. | ||

Willis, That silver Diablo is still in the shop at FoS. Must STILL be waiting for parts. BTW, they have an blue/tan '03 575M Maranello in the showroom -- a beauty! | ||

This morning, northbound from downtown Redmond toward Woodinville. Black 330GT 2+2. Looked like he's taking the whole family out on a Sunday drive. We waved at eachother. I believe I've met the owner recently at the Historic Races at Pacific Raceways. | ||

Silver 360 spider (rear challenge grill) with "FS" on the plate yesterday on 6th and Pine. About 2 minutes later, another 360 spider (grey with challenge grills) pulling out of Pacific Place garage. | ||

Willis, Here's one more "in action" -- that's you in the lead, gentleman with the '03 360 spider, Ted, and Jackson. Wish I would've snapped a few more shots while driving, but couldn't help but just sit back and enjoy the ride. Wow, what a great day! Pictures are a little small due to the size limit here. Private message me your email and I can send originals if you wish.  | ||
| Willis Huang (Willis360)
Intermediate Member Username: Willis360 Post Number: 1538 Registered: 8-2001 |
Andrew, thanks a lot for posting the driving pictures. Got any more action shots? Yeah, traffic was a problem due to the time of day we started the drive. Had we done the drive earlier, like around 9AM, we would have had the roads to ourselves. Jackson came over to Ruth's baby shower and we got to hear his new Tubi in action as he was leaving. Incredible sound! | ||
| Andrew H (Stokpro)
Junior Member Username: Stokpro Post Number: 126 Registered: 6-2003 |
Willis, Appears that truckers and slow moving traffic alike had the same idea as us yesterday -- taking the backcountry roads. We still managed to open it up on a few sections and let the cars "sing". You're right, the tubi system sounds completely different from outside the car -- you should've heard Jackson's tubi from behind... loud, but music to my ears. Here are a few of my "spots" from yesterday. Thanks for taking the lead.    | ||

Intermediate Member Username: Davehanda Post Number: 1758 Registered: 5-2001 |
Guys, is that the 360 with the carbon fibre rear valence that has like 1 cm holes all over it? If it is, that is owned by a young asian guy who was at the Ferraris on 12th event. I met him, nice guy, I think his name is Nick... | ||

Junior Member Username: Stokpro Post Number: 115 Registered: 6-2003 |
Peter, I think those stickers say "something" racing, looks like some kind of promotion. Nice car, decent wheels, but have you seen the rear grill? I think it's one of those Koenig grills. No my cup of tea, but then again, for each his own. | ||

Greetings guys. Saw a beautiful black 328GTS getting gas at the Safeway Gas Station yesterday on Bothell Way. Also, I don't believe I had the pleasure to offically meet both Mr.Huang and Mr.Handa last weekend at Bruno's. I have seen that both of you are fairly active on this site. Hope to actually meet both of you and chat Ferrari soon. | ||

Portland: There is a black 308GTS which is parked at Uptown Shopping center (NW 23rd & Burnside) almost every day. Look quickly, though, as I know the owner slightly and he's moving his business to the Pearl district. | ||

Dave, Do you know if the Lambo is a kit car? The shop (Uptown) must be getting close to grand opening? | ||
| dave handa (Davehanda)
Intermediate Member Username: Davehanda Post Number: 1717 Registered: 5-2001 |
Andrew, Interesting comment on the yellow Lambo. I drive my 328 down to the Pike Place Market often to hang out with Brian Lopriore who runs the Lopriore Brothers Pasta Bar (he has a 71' black Daytona). The Lambo owner always parks in an obviously "no parking zone" then opens up all the doors and lids and lets everyone oogle over the car...quite an obvious spectacle...(he goes to Alki and does the same thing) Funny, I was leaving the market in my 328 and drove by and two girls ran up to me and said "we like your car WAY better..." I just shrugged and said "thanks"...another missed opportunity. :-) | ||

There's a silver Diablo at Ferrari of Seattle. Clutch job with the entire drivetrain out. It was there for the longest time waiting for parts. Still waiting. | ||
| Gary Reed (Gary_reed)
Junior Member Username: Gary_reed Post Number: 164 Registered: 2-2002 |
The black Diablo's owner lives in downtown Seattle... The car will be at the Italian Concours show on the pier this Sunday. I saw it awhile back all torn apart at Carlo's shop. It was getting a new clutch. He had to pull out the entire engine/trans drivetrain to do it, since it's all wheel drive. | ||
| Andrew H (Stokpro)
Junior Member Username: Stokpro Post Number: 105 Registered: 6-2003 |
Willis, That was the first time I saw that Diablo, so I guess it's still around. I've seen a yellow Countach (perhaps a replica) in Pike Place Market several times. My regular F-sightings are either near Pike & 7th, all along 1st Ave between Denny and Madison and usually on 520. Every now and then I see a triple black 355 spyder near First Hill and a dark blue 355 spyder on Queen Anne. I need to start caring my digital camera around. Now that there's a thread for F-sightings, I'll post as I see them (and hear 'em). | ||

Junior Member Username: Stokpro Post Number: 103 Registered: 6-2003 |
Last weekend I pulled up next to a Grigio 360 Modena with blacked out rims on 1st & Wall in Belltown -- it usually sits in front of El Gaucho's. Saw a red 308 heading eastbound on Pike St. about two weeks ago. Every now and then I see a yellow F355 with "IMOLA" as the license plate. Not that this really matters, but saw a black Diablo VT with rear wing heading east on Lenora this last Saturday. | ||

Portland: Last sunday (17th?), a 328GTS in my neighborhood, cornell & saltzman road (Cedar Mill), and then about 10 minutes later a 308GTS(i? qv?) headed eastbound on US 26. Both red. I was in my 365 2+2. | ||
