Nashville Spottings

Saw those exact same cars on the same night. I am most intrigued about the 430, though. Saw it on Murphy road headed to one of the restaurants on that strip. Second time I've seen it.

 

I visited Nashville over the weekend and was hopeful to see a F-car or two but no luck. Also, I stopped by the Lane Motor Museum; awesome place but no Ferraris. For what its worth I did see a new Shelby Hertz Mustang in the Opry Mills parking lot.

 

Same 430 is at the same restaurant coming home tonight a few minutes ago. I'm not a stalker, I just pass this place every morning and evening. I wish I knew whose car this was. It's absolutely gorgeous.

 

I don't want to get too specific, but is the owner of the 308 I often see on Harding an FChatter?

 

I'm pretty sure the red F430 belongs to Jack Bovender, he lives down the street from me and I know he use to own a red 360 since I've seen him driving it out of his drive way and in the area but I think he moved up recently to the 430 because I've seen it driving in the area and it was parked infront of his house one day...it was raining outside too.

 

Saw a red 430 Spider two days ago. Now there's two of them...

 

It seems to me that there should be a lot of country music money in Nashville and thus a lot of nice cars including Ferraris ?

 

I saw a red 575 in Hendersonville yesterday, it was parked on the same street that I see a 360 conv sometimes.

 

I've lived in West End (a somewhat nicer side of Nashville) for about three months now and have lived no more than 25 miles from Nashville my entire life. Since my move, I've seen a 550 Maranello, 2 430's (most recent) a 355 Spider, and a black 328 GTS. Over the course of living around Nashville I've probably seen 10-15 of them: a white 456, some 308's and 328's, 2 TR's, a 355, and one or two 360's. In all honesty there are two dominant money sides of Nashville: Belle Meade and Brentwood, the first being the old money, and the second being the new. I haven't spent much time in Belle Meade, but I'm in Brentwood at least once a week, and the most I see there are Porsche's, Mercedes, and BMW's. One or two Aston Martins. All that to say, yeah, there's money here, but it doesn't appear that it's being spent like us Ferrari enthusiasts would like (in comparison of, say, LA). I did hear of a CGT spotting in Brentwood a while back, though. But if there are more here than I think, then hey, I don't have a problem with that, I just haven't seen anything yet. If you've got 'em, then drive 'em. Because I wanna see 'em. And hear 'em.

 

For some reason there has recently been an influx in exotic/high end cars here in nashville. I saw a CGT pull off belle meade onto harding about two weeks ago, a white lambo gallardo going by the belle meade police station a week or so ago, and last night I was behind a red f430 coupe on the blvd itself. It is Jack Bovenders because I came beside him at the stop sign and saw. Bently GTs, Astons, and Lotuses are becoming so common place they hardly even catch my eye anymore, hopefully it won't be that way with ferraris by the time I am able to purchuse one myself.

 

You are correct dreamofownership. I believe Mr. Bovender purchashed the red 360 coupe from F.O.A so he could get on the list for the 430. I also saw him on West End last week, VERY NICE!

 

That was probably Robert.

 

About the 308 seen on Harding- that could have been me. Red QV? I live near Nippers Corner so I'm on Harding a lot. I bought the car from my Dad and had it shipped from FL about 6 months ago.

 

Duane, I was trying to be very non-specific, because I see it at the owners house. It is a red 308, not sure on the year but it does not have the spoiler. It is not really on Harding, just close, and it must get driven alot because its often gone when I drive by. I have never seen it close, or the front view. Just the rear and sides. Its a beautiful sight from the road and I strain my neck looking every time I drive by.

 

The red 430 is a country star's new toy. I'll leave it at that. He was in our building the other day and had it parked out in the lot for a good 6-7 hours. I must say that thing is gorgeous. I wasn't a big fan of them until I saw this one in the flesh. He's been driving it all over town.

 

I've seen quit a bit of cars throughout the Nashville/Brentwood area. I live in Brentwood right off of Concord and I've seen some nice cars. The owner from the W has his two Lambos parked outside his club ( One of them is Lime and the other is Orange), White and Red Ford GT coming down Concord Road, and plenty of 360's. I believe the owner of Shogun has a Porsche Turbo and a Lambo Gallardo.

I'm in Miami currently for college and can't think of too many cars off the top of my head right now. I'll be home for the weekend though and I'm sure I'll see something.

 

There's a Silver Mercedes Mclaren SLR @ the Benz dealership in the Cool Springs area as well. The car is purchased already but the owner keeps it there. Any idea who owns it?

 

Did see a Maybach on Cloverland in Brentwood yesterday.

 

Crawford you have a Silver F355, right? I have yet to see it in the Nashville area. Do you drive it much or reserve it for the weekends?

 

There was an SLR Mclaren at our office building in Green Hills one afternoon about a year ago. Maybe it was the same one..

 

I've been averaging about 200 miles/week since I got it in Feb. I'm on Wilson Pike, Concord, and Edmunson Pike a good deal. If you were home, you'd probably see me all the time!

Heading down to Road Atlanta tonight. Will be able to take the 355 on the track tomorrow AM. I'm looking forward to that

 

Thats awesome man. I'm actually home for the weekend but what unfortunate timing on my behalf. Maybe when I'm home for Thanksgiving break or Christmas you could show me the car if you don't mind. Well have fun @ Road Atlanta...!
