    I was at Gloria's in Addison on Beltline Saturday after visiting Carsons, and I believe the silver 550/575 Maranello from Carsons paid it a visit. Looked nice of course and I heard it coming.

    I think this was me. I usually go by the nursing home and take my mother for a ride on Saturday mornings - she likes to get out and see things. She keeps calling it a Lamborghini!

    On the way home tonight from Haltom City to Ft Worth on 121, I was passed by something moving very fast with HID headlights. It looked like a black Diablo VT but the taillights didn't look quite right. They were more square than round. I thought it was a kit but I got close enough to it to hear what sounded the purely like an Italian 12 cylinder. Before I knew it, the Diablo was on I35W hauling ass though traffic to then head to I-30 eastbound ramp. That sound was amazing & unforgettable.

    Might have been a superleggera, the black wing is a hint (carbon, mirrors too)...

    Saw a beautiful white w/ blue stripe Ford GT this morning on the Loop in front of Chili's

    My wife reported a red TR on S. Broadway over the weekend, I guess the good Dr. was out stretching its legs. :)

    Could it have been a Vector M12? I don't know of one in the area, but I haven't exactly been tracking them... It has a Lambo V12 and squared taillights.

    The GT was for sale a few months back. I called about it, but ended up getting my srt instead. He was selling it for his daughter's college tuition I believe.

    Are you sure??

    This car was in Tyler, about 100 miles east of DFW.

    I know that the owner/GM of the Ford dealer here has a GT. I just don't know the specs.

    The Gulf liveried GT (shown @ crisis center car show) is apparantly owned by a MD in Shreveport, LA, but I've seen it (or one just like it) pulling out of the Cascades development in recent months.

    Curious seeing a 360 spider, 430 spider, Doc Pauza's TR and King's 430 coupe in the same week - I am beginning to think the Ferraris are here to stay!!!

    Can't wait to have one of my own to be spotted on this board :)

    Red 512M at the corner of Walnut Hill and Forest this morning on my way to work. I saw a red TR out of the corner of my eye and thought it was James, then noticed the headlights and nearly snapped my neck trying to get a better view as I passed it. Dark haired heavy set guy with a mustache driving it.

    I'm moving to a new floor in 2 weeks, and am losing my window seat. Getting a bigger office, but it's interior with no window. No more Ferrari spotting for me while I'm on conference calls. Bummer.

    Saw a white 512 BBi on I-35W heading south.....couple of days ago. Being my first sighting of one in the wild I was pretty excited. Couldn't keep up though....not in an International 4300 DT466.

    Also saw a yellow 360 spider joining Preston Road near Dilbeck last Sunday. Looked a bit too clean!

    I am quite sure. The ad was in the Dallas paper. Can't be very many white/blue GT's rolling around the Tyler area.

    I know this is a d/fw thread, but I'm in Austin for the week. This evening, was heading back to the hotel from watching the game downtown and was passed, to put it lightly, by a rosso 612 on 183. He's just one more person on my "must envy" list......
