Oklahoma Spotters Thread

I've tried to talk to some people around here but basically i don't have a ferrari so i don't count i guess. i had a post to try to get some together and that didn't work either so i guess i'll hang with the more fortunate around Dallas, they are always nice and don't care that you don't own a ferrari. I'm just guessing that the people here don't really get into the car thing that much like some do.

 

Don't feel bad, many have tried, all have failed.

 

I have seen a black 430, a yellow 430 spider, 360 spider and, a 355 spider in the last couple of days hers in south Tulsa.

 

most of the exotics i see here are owned by the same people, I have been lucky enough to see plenty others on a very rare occasion. Black Carrera GT, i almost wrecked on that one, Bently cgt pretty often, a few lambos maybe just passing through and a couple 430's all have been here in Norman and Moore area.

 

Saw a red 308 yesterday in Norman (I think) northbound on I35 around 6:30. At least, that's where I think I was -- I was just passing through from KC to DFW

 

Its highway 9 and lambo was probably ChuckD, he, and she i believe are members here. Most exotics here in Norman and Moore area are owned by them. Its a LP640 by the way.

 

'She' drives the LP most of the time. The only one you'll probably spot me in is the 430 Spider (there's two of them in Norman, I haven't met the guy who has the other one).

I've seen a silver 360 in Moore/Norman. Someone mentioned it belonged to Toby Keith. I'm not sure about that, but I do know he has at least one Ferrari.

We have the blue CGT (Bentley, not Porsche), and there's a gray one in town as well.

Keep on the lookout for the 722. That always seems to get missed! Probably one of the most rare cars you'll ever see.

 

I have talked to "her" in the LP640 at the health food store by the carwash across from the CVS by Brookhaven square, very polite by the way. The 722 i haven't seen, but would love to. I have only seen the silver SLR that is around here for a couple of years now. Besides power, what else is different between the two. By the way anyone here going to the Italian Carfest in Dallas on Sept. 22nd. I have been 3 years now and it is classy and lots of nice cars, fun time every year.

 

We still have the silver SLR, but it's in a garage at Mercedes OKC. Anyone here interested in buying it? It's for sale.

The 722 is much more refined, far better interior, and looks more agressive (lower, more angular). In a drag race from standstill to 130 Mph, the 722 wins by about 2 car lengths. It is definitely the beast of our collection, and can hold a full load from the grocery store as well!

Mostly, you'll catch us in the 722, the LP or G Spyder. Our 430 doesn't get out much since it's wedged in the garage pretty tight. It's tougher now that OU is back in session, much more crowded on the roads. But, one of them is out almost every day unless it's raining.

 

It appears the one indiviual is responsible for 90% of the exotics in OKla.

 

Nah, we're just the only ones who actually drive them!

 

That is so true!!!

Mrs. Chuckd is a very keen car enthusiast and I've personally met her while in the LP.

I hope all is going well, please drive the Ferrari so it doesn't feel left out, or I could give you my address and take care of it so it wouldn't feel so squeezed in the garage

 

I love NSX's. A guy has a yellow one in Norman. I talked to him at a gas station when i had my S2000 and he was a pretty nice guy.

 

The 355 spider lives across the street from me in Wellington (South Tulsa) but I haven't seen many others around. I've got a yellow/black NSX with 18/19 HRE 545s. This is my 3rd NSX but I'm thinking about a Ferrari so joined the forum to get some more knowledge. Price range is around $50-70K so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Black 599- lady driver at 41st & Sheridan Saturday- I'd love to get a close up look at that car

 

Hi folks,

This is my 348, just got it... previous owner put 355 bumpers on it and Maranello wheels. It will be permanently residing in Ponca City in a few years.

Nice car Mike! The door skins are 355 also, along with the tail light treatment. Looks like some interior mods as well. Did you post pics in the 348 section? I've never seen another 348 like it.

 

Thanks for the response Janzen.... to answer your questions, Yes, I posted the photos in the 348/355 section as well. I paid USD$17,500 for the car, and haven't yet decided whether or not to change everything back or leave it. Are you in T-town? When I get it back to the US, we'll have to have coffee... I'll be in Ponca City.

 

You paid $17,500? ..Just curious did you have this car checked. What's the story behind it? Somebody must have taken a beating after spending all that money on mods, and then selling it for that.
