    I guess the reason there hasn't been posts in a while
    is because Ferrari is such a common sight in south
    Florida.

    I saw my first Porsche Panamera (outside of a car show) today. There was a charcoal grey Porsche Panamera 4S at the St. Johns Town Center in Jacksonville.

    I saw one today also, the second I've seen. While they sound good, they do absolutely nothing for me in the looks department.

    I certainly understand that sightings are not rare here.

    I have been regularly seeing a gray Gullardo(sp) Spyder on the trail south of Sarasotra.

    Today, dropping my kids off at school, I see what appeared to be a 430 spyder exiting the lot. As I followed him out I discovered it to be a 16M. I had the opportunity to chat with him. His car was extremely nice looking and sounding. He was very nice and said there is a group that gets together here in Sarasota.

    I shared with him that for a while I didn't realize this forum was so good and to check it out.

    I've also seen a couple Maser Gran Sports (very attractive IMO) and a bunch of Bentleys as they seem to continue to sell well.

    Dear Ferraristi,

    That G (LP550) spyder could be Gary Roberts's new car. I was at a Ferrari FOC get-together in Sarasota today....it was there.

    ....his "other" car is a red Enzo.

    Wow, I had no idea you moved to FL just like me! Not sure if you remember, but we drove past one another on the 108 in Montgomery county (I lived in Howard county at the time) and you were with your Daytona and 456 at the time (me in my orange Z). Now I'm in Tampa not too far from you. Pretty cool! :)

    Saw a Daytona and what I think was a Lusso in Boca on Broken Sound Pkwy. No plates, so someone is test driving or has a collection, test driving by the way he was driving them. Enjoy!!!

    ^ ^ Unreal!! ddemuro + South Florida = WIN for everyone! I'm headed to Central FL (Orlando area) in 6 days, and will probably spot a few things, but it will be nowhere near the caliber of what south Fl. has to offer. Good post!!

    Saw a Dino on a Flatbed today on 441.

    Nice to see a thread about my town!

    Any one sees a Grigio Silverston F430 with a bald old bloke, make me stop and say hi!

    Also, have seen a yellow Murcielago, silver 360 spider, blacked out GTR, a Challenge Stradale an orange Gallardo Superleggera, a black R8 and red R8.

    All around 441/Lake Worth/Forest Hill. Those are the main ones I've been seeing a lot lately.

    Also, someone around here just got a 2010 LP670-4 SV. Seen it once.

    I remember and I remember seeing you on the road that day. I also remember you as a really nice contributor to this site. PM sent.

    Exotics not being so unussual here, I thought I'd share a couple unusual sitings. An older couple in a '55 Nash Metroploitan convertible, loving life. A Triumph with the license tag"72 STAG". A Healy 100-6, a couple pagodas, a Studebaker Hawk and a split window Vette.

    Merry Christmas to all.
