DFW Ferrari and Exotic Spotters

328 GTS at Bonedaddy's BBQ Grapevine after the LoD Polo event, the coolest part of it I was a fellow F-Chatter that I had yet to meet. FChat truly is a small world.

Great meeting you last night. Bone Daddies should be a required eating establishment in the DFW area; and the food was good also. Make's Hooters look like a convent.

 

Am I seeing things, or is there a Tramonto rolling around Prestonwood CC?

 

Gray Carrera GT on Renner road in Richardson. Friday 5-18-07

 

Blue V8 Vantage roadster on Live Oak and Pearl this morning around 9:24. Guy must have been hating the weather....

 

Busted!!! That stretch of road (between Greenville and Abrams) is nice. Not too many lights there and it's perfectly straight and flat. She likes to run when she gets around that area. There was nothing I could do.

Honk next time and I'll stop and chat with ya.

 

I was going to yell out the window while sitting at the light in front on Tom Thumb and Central Market, but my wife forbid me to! If I were by myself I would have shouted at ya. Next time I'll pull up on my driver side instead of "her" side of the truck!

White Lotus Esprit parked in Manchester State Thomas area.

 

Cheese-whiz orange/yellow Esprit on 35E northbound yesterday evening in the rain.. just south of Mockingbird. Sounded sweet from my vantage point at a hotel along the highway..

And was shadowed on my afternoon commute today by a sinister black SRT-8 Charger from Cresson to Benbrook.. Phil?

 

Visited a freind last night in the garage at his building the following box of eye candy

MGTC
360 Spider Grigio
430 Coupe Black
57 Thunderbird
Healey 3000
Porsche Carrera
Rolls Royce Corniche

 

Followed a black LP640 off the 75 onto side streets....managed to get some pics which I'll try to put up.....very nice. (Understatement!)

 

Not me this time Todd. You can tell i'ts me because I'm wingless.

 

Saw the hood of a black Viper on 635 W. going through Garland in the left shoulder. I saw it sitting there, took a look as I drove by, and clearly saw "Viper" on the side. It looked complete, if I'd had a pickup I would've stopped and picked it up.

 

Yellow Mangusta is for sale at J. Andretti on Oak Lawn. Ugly as hell in my opinion, but rare none the less, if you want to take a look.

 

On the way to work today parked in front of the Ft Worth Coin company on 7th Street. It looked like a red TR from a far distance but upon closer inspection turn out to be a very crude recreation of a Testarossa on a GM F body, maybe an old Trans-Am. For the love of God that thing was converted in poor taste. To each his own.

 

Davidindallas-

I believe that was my 308 that you saw at Norwoods as it was there for the lasts two weeks getting new fuel hoses as well as the ac fixed. That was the first time I used Norwoods and could not be happier. Great work and great people. As to the car it is a 79 with 12k miles.

Spotted an yellow Gallardo SE (I think it was an SE) filling up on Lower Greeville at the 7-11 across the street from Gloria's. I got a few snaps on my wife's camera phone, but have no clue how to get them on here.

 

I'm new to this chat and don't know if it's against the rules to reply to the DFW spotters something that I saw elsewhere, but I was in Vegas last week and went by the Ferrari store at the Wynn casino. Aside from the "normal" contemporary Ferraris tucked in the back corner was the legendary FXX. Needless to say, I was shocked to see it there. Unfortunately, they don't allow pictures, but suffice it to say that it's beyond belief.

I highly recommend taking time to visit this store next time you are in Vegas. Make sure you go to the additional showroom downstairs.

 

Welcome to Fchat!


Today in Lewisville on 3040, I saw a Delorean. In person you can really see the Lotus influence.

Must have been something aligned in the planets, because just before this I saw a private Checker Marathon.

Had stopped by LOD and there is a stunning 550 Red/black in the show room, also the coast to coast car was in the shop.

Tillman, I had the pleasure or pain depending how you want to look at it of building all 8846 of the Deloreans in Dunmurry Northern Ireland. I carried many of the parts for the prototype from the Lotus plant in Norwich to Northern Ireland, the project was a real challange for the Lotus Engineers. The Delorean Chief Engineer was a guy called Mike Loasby from Aston Martin so there were some AM design details in there as well.

In front of Village Burger, none other than a detuned IndyCar converted to a two seater. Had a busted radiator hose. I will get pics and vids soon. Later yesterday eve, beltline and qourum, red Superamerica. Beautiful. Awesome day.

 

Last night on Camp Bowie.......Looks like Ken got his Continental GT Cab - Black, prettier than I expected.

 

White 1960s Rolls Royce on 35 at Motor St.

 

I blew away a red Miura in my work van going south on the tollway yesterday.
So OK it was on a open trailer pulled by a detailer's cube van. I'm going to count it.
