DFW Ferrari and Exotic Spotters

Dark gray F430 F1 pulling up next to me in the parking lot of Dallas Gold & Silver on Forest Lane today around 5 PM.

His passenger banged his door into the door of my car when getting out. I was shocked that he didn't even think once, we even made eye contact & he was non-chalant about it. Pssh!

 

What were you in?

 

Luckily not my car....I was in a Lexus ES300

 

Shady Brook Ln and Northwest Highway, just east of North Park Mall, I spotted a red 430 at 11:30 this afternoon.

OOPS.....I guess I was stuttering! Sorry for the double post.

My friend moved to Tyler last yr and one of his partners lent him that Gulf GT for the week

 

Land at LoveField and the first car I see on Mockingbird as we leave is a Black 355 spyder? - it had T-tops. Haven't paid much attention to 355's but didn't realize they made them with T-tops - maybe an aftermarket mod???

 

One more....

spotted a blue 456 with shields yesteday around 7:00 pm. Coming up the ramp from 75 south onto Northwest highway heading west.

Ferrari basically made three different models of the F355: The F355 Berlinetta (Hard top), F355 Fiorano (Convertible), and F355 GTS (T-top). You most likely saw a GTS. Here is a nice picture that I found online of a F355 GTS.

The 355 GTS is actually a targa top, not a t-top. The whole roof section lifts off in one piece as opposed to 2 sections with a bar down the middle (like a t-top has). Here is a better picture:

i thought i saw a bar down the middle of that 355 indicating a T top but I guess I was wrong. So they made a 355 Berlinetta, Spider and GTS???

edit - just read a couple of posts above

 

Dark Red (Sorry, I forgot the official name) F355 on DNT Northbound around Belt Line Rd at approx 2:15 PM today.

 

Was it a spider? An Indian (?) lady parked one at the Fairmont yesterday.

Oh and I got to drive a Quattroporte yesterday....as well as an M5. The joys of working valet I tell you....

 

No, not a spider. Not an Indian lady driving either.

That was me driving home from the F1 watching party. Rosso Barchetta is the color, picture is above.

 

Ahhh...I had a feeling that it was an F-Chat member I spotted. Funny thing is, I spotted another F-Chat member in that very same spot about 2 weeks ago in their Lamborghini Countach.

I posted that up in this thread too.

 

Awesome day. Have to agree with the comment on the Bentley's a while back. In front of PF Chang's at North Park, a Conti GT and Flying Spur. Both black. Later, I was crossing Mockingbird Lane at Matilda, going back to the rail (truck is wrecked), and came face to face with an orange LP640 ( I believe ). It was love at first sight, with the car, not the driver.

 

6:10 this evening: I turned south from a sidestreet onto Williamson Road in Lakewood and found myself behind a silver 550 or 575. Followed this car on to where West Lawther Drive emerges from under the old railroad bridge at the west end of Whiterock. Continuing on West Lawther, a silver-blue 328 GTS passed in the opposite direction.

The drivers noticed each other, but both were moving along at a pretty good clip...I was having a hard time keeping up in my 4Runner and listening for V12 engine sounds at the same time.

I continued following the 550/575...he turned north onto Garland Road at the spillway.

 

Caught a quick glimpse of a light blue 3x8 headed north on the tollway at about 9:30 this morning. At least he was in the fast lane.

 

Spotted an orange Murci in the Greenville area Thursday night & a Superleggera at Lambo Dallas 2 Fridays ago.

I see'd it! Red 308 GT4, way out west on Old Annetta. that must be my neighbor in Deer creek estates. BTW, your left brake light is out, I noticed it as you blew by me and went up the hill.

 

Last night in Southlake Village during Rob's pilot / Ferrari get together, three Ferraris cruised through. I was wondering if they were either going to join us or more undiscovered Ferrari owners?

Red 360 coupe
Red 360 spider
Red 308 GTS

 

Canna Di Fucile metallic F430 coupe on Byers Ave heading westbound to Horn St.

 

Just walked out of Hotel Palomar at 75 and Mockingbird and there was orange Murci at the light.

Black F430 Spider chasing down a Monza Red 599 Fiorano. What a sight and sound. wow.
