I was at Gloria's in Addison on Beltline Saturday after visiting Carsons, and I believe the silver 550/575 Maranello from Carsons paid it a visit. Looked nice of course and I heard it coming.

 

I think this was me. I usually go by the nursing home and take my mother for a ride on Saturday mornings - she likes to get out and see things. She keeps calling it a Lamborghini!

 

good day on saturday.

gray 575 on Lovers 9am
gray 430 coupe NW Hwy 11am
black gallardo wing/black wheels NW Hwy 11:15am
Yellow Diablo Roadster Tollway 12:30pm
Red 355 spider tollway 12:32pm
Yellow viper tollway 12:35pm

 

Ahh...very cool. I was driving a black M5 that morning when I spotted you. You have a great looking TR.

 

On my way to the GTG Sat. I saw a red 360 on 635 westbound and a black 430 on Preston going south.

 

On the way home tonight from Haltom City to Ft Worth on 121, I was passed by something moving very fast with HID headlights. It looked like a black Diablo VT but the taillights didn't look quite right. They were more square than round. I thought it was a kit but I got close enough to it to hear what sounded the purely like an Italian 12 cylinder. Before I knew it, the Diablo was on I35W hauling ass though traffic to then head to I-30 eastbound ramp. That sound was amazing & unforgettable.

 

Might have been a superleggera, the black wing is a hint (carbon, mirrors too)...

 

Saw a beautiful white w/ blue stripe Ford GT this morning on the Loop in front of Chili's

My wife reported a red TR on S. Broadway over the weekend, I guess the good Dr. was out stretching its legs.

 

Could it have been a Vector M12? I don't know of one in the area, but I haven't exactly been tracking them... It has a Lambo V12 and squared taillights.

The GT was for sale a few months back. I called about it, but ended up getting my srt instead. He was selling it for his daughter's college tuition I believe.

 

Are you sure??

This car was in Tyler, about 100 miles east of DFW.

I know that the owner/GM of the Ford dealer here has a GT. I just don't know the specs.

The Gulf liveried GT (shown @ crisis center car show) is apparantly owned by a MD in Shreveport, LA, but I've seen it (or one just like it) pulling out of the Cascades development in recent months.

Curious seeing a 360 spider, 430 spider, Doc Pauza's TR and King's 430 coupe in the same week - I am beginning to think the Ferraris are here to stay!!!

Can't wait to have one of my own to be spotted on this board

 

Red 512M at the corner of Walnut Hill and Forest this morning on my way to work. I saw a red TR out of the corner of my eye and thought it was James, then noticed the headlights and nearly snapped my neck trying to get a better view as I passed it. Dark haired heavy set guy with a mustache driving it.

I'm moving to a new floor in 2 weeks, and am losing my window seat. Getting a bigger office, but it's interior with no window. No more Ferrari spotting for me while I'm on conference calls. Bummer.

 

Dan and his yeller 360 spider in Lewisville this afternoon. Hiya Dan!

 

Saw a white 512 BBi on I-35W heading south.....couple of days ago. Being my first sighting of one in the wild I was pretty excited. Couldn't keep up though....not in an International 4300 DT466.

Also saw a yellow 360 spider joining Preston Road near Dilbeck last Sunday. Looked a bit too clean!

 

I am quite sure. The ad was in the Dallas paper. Can't be very many white/blue GT's rolling around the Tyler area.

 

Very true!!!

I guess his daughter must have "settled" for a lesser school.

 

Red 355 Coupe before noon at the corner of Camp Bowie Blvd & the I-30 West Freeway access road heading westbound.

 

But a red 430 coupe out my window yesterday, Westbound on 114....

 

spotted a red 360 spider at mockingbird and central expy tonight. There was aslo a black 360 parkd at Trader vic's/ Hotel Polomar at the same time.

black/tan 355 at Abrahms and Mockingbird yesterday. New car paper plates.

 

That poor, poor girl. I don't know what I would have done if I had to settle for less then A&M Commerce.....(insert sarcastic laugh here)

 

Red 599 GTB at the intersection of Preston and Frankford today around 1:00.

 

I know this is a d/fw thread, but I'm in Austin for the week. This evening, was heading back to the hotel from watching the game downtown and was passed, to put it lightly, by a rosso 612 on 183. He's just one more person on my "must envy" list......

 

Silver Quattroporte on 121 Saturday evening, just south of the 635/121 interchange.
