Yea, there are some errors with 308/328 differences. 308 QV's have the wing behind the roof line of the cabin as well...not just 328s. Just to stay on topic, besides the 360 spyder I saw, I saw a nice Pantera on the 405S, a Maserati Spyder on Santa Monica, and even though it was in the dealership...its still worth mentioning: a 275 gts. | ||

Jordan, Ha! That was exactly my complaint as well. Other than that, I like it more and more each time I watch it. I guess the only other complaint is that they fumble with some of the model names, which might be confusing to people a bit less knowledgable. But, overall very rich in content and footage. I like the sort of "extra" stuff besides model info too. | ||

I was attending a wedding reception on Sat night at the Regent Beverly in Beverly Hills and there was a really nice red 348ts with chrome wheels parked in front. Not a big deal for BH, but thought I'd post. It was a really clean car, although the chrome wheels are not my first choice. | ||

Last night on the way home from work. I saw a silver 360 in Hollywood. Then on the 101 north a young couple in a nice silver 330. And THEN today on the way to work I saw a red 250 GTO!!!! on the north bound 101, just past the 405. That guy must be nuts driving a car like that in holiday traffic. I know it's not a Ferrari but, I saw a nice yellow Diablo, headed west on Sunset, on my lunch break yesterday. | ||

Went into a Ferrari/Mercedes repair shop in Costa Mesa right next to John Wayne Airport and looked around for a bit. They had a few totalled 360s, one a Challenge car. In the corner being worked on I saw a BEAUTIFUL 250GT California Spyder...I run over drooling *not literally * and the mechanic had to disappoint me telling me it was a replica  I was at the Orange County Performing Arts center this afternoon for a while and when pulling out of one of the parking areas I saw a gorgeous Aston Martin Vanquish pull out right in front of me. They are rare cars --and beautiful cars as well-- and I was so excited to see it, even though its not a Ferrari | ||

Crazy day today. I went concert blitzing across southern california to 4 concerts and recitals. Anyway, I saw 4 Ferraris on the 405 South : -Red 328 GTS -Red 360 coupe -Silver 360 Spider -Red 348 coupe with black speedlines. Was it you Byron? Couldnt get a look at the driver or tell if it was a Challenge car...but how many 348s have black speedlines anyway? Then driving around Beverly Hills I saw: -Red 348 spider -Red 355 spider All those along with a few Rolls royces and Bentleys, the usual share of 911 Turbos, SL500s, Boxsters and so on. I was hoping to see that Enzo you guys talk about but no luck today. | ||

I saw a beautiful 1991 Testarossa with 6k miles at Newport Autosports for 69k... in case you are interested. As for Fspotters... Last night, in hollywood, near Ivar, saw a yellow 360 Modena and silver 360 spider.

Couple of 550's, 3 or 4 360's a 355 and the red 512TR that I drove today. Of course we were on Wilshire near FoBH and around BH. Got pulled over by the BH police (lights and siren). He was very nice. He said I "blew through the light" (it was yellow but I punched it to get through on Sunset at Whittier). He said I was going 50 in a 35. I told him I was in a test drive, the owner said I had just gotten in it and was not familiar with the power. He replied "this is a Ferrari, what do you think happens when you step on it?" He was very nice and let me go with a relatively mild warning to be careful and take it easy. Needless to say I was a bit nervous and shaken up to be chased with lights and siren. | ||
