    I would be careful at any price I was involved in building them in Northern Ireland and the spares situation is terribile and they are a nightmare to work on due to the construction methods.

    Nice Starsky and Hutch Torino on a trailer heading towards Dallas on 30 in Rockwall around sundown. As for the price on the DeLorean, I still hold on to what I said about Bent Tree, I don't trust them...

    Spotted a late model Farmer Dave at the Tractor Supply in Sweetwater, TX.. small world indeed..

    Returning home today from the godforsaken city of Lubbock, saw a nice silver-blue 360 Spider headed westbound on I-20 between Abilene and Sweetwater..

    No such thing, they quit making those after an unsuccessful first run. :D

    Red 456 headed east on 190 this morning. Not sure I've ever seen one in that color.

    You 2 guys were lucky to not get run off the road by my senior in highschool daughter and friends going out to Tech to see big brother, and experience an SAE afterparty, after their big win over OU.(Not that we condone underage drinking, just don't ask don't tell). She had my new Garmin GPS guiding her, so no TOMTOM jokes from the peanut gallery.

    Model year changes are few, most noticeable is better post economy, the spare tire is still too big. Still runs good on grain based liquid fuel which might explain the spare tire size.

    One needs to move the spare tire aside to access the Tom-Tom functions.

    Black Carrera GT on Fairmount St
    Dark Grey DB9 at Nick & Sams off of Maple Ave
    Silver Gallardo, Red Gallardo, Yellow Ferrari 360 at the Ritz Carlton (It could of been a 430, it was on the way out after an event with an open bar)
    Red 360 leaving the Crescent Court
    Assortment of Bentleys. You DFW people really like Bentleys GTs.

    Go through Highland Park someday and see how much we like our Jaguar XKs and Mercedes SLs!

    I see more of them in one day than I see in other areas of Dallas in an entire week.

    That reminds me - saw a black Carrera GT at Eatzi's several weeks ago, and maybe the same one again at the Porsche dealership on Lemmon last Thursday night.

    Well, Cadillacs and Mercedes jest ain't the same since the Ewings . . . . . . Besides, Bentleys just look right at home with the Longhorns and Barnett Shale wells we all have in our back yards (you know, the back 2000 acres at the ranch).

    Now, where's Sue Ellen with mah Dewars. Ah swear, she ain't been the same since JR moved in with them dancers from the Lodge.

    A buddy of mine has one in Lewisville, probably not the same one you saw. His has blue accents over the black body. I didn't get to drive it but holy shiite...that car was incredible. We took it out for a good hour around 121/Lewisville area and everyone and their grandmother took their eyes off the road to get a glimpse of it. At first site it really does look like an IRL or F1 car! I want one!!!!

    In other spotting news, I got to take a yellow F430 out for a drive around Fairview/Allen. They had a Gallardo as well, ready to be driven by anyone who didn't mind listening to a salesguy for a financial services firm giving them the run-down on some software his company was selling. I didn't complain, I loved the damn car! I didn't have $35,000 sitting around to invest, though.....

    2 Quatroporte's, one Red, at Macy's, the other, silver I believe, across the highway at Bath and Body Works. Downtown this morning on Akard, a Conti GT, stunning pearl white. Around lunch, was at the jewelry shop next to Campisi's, and saw a white w/ red wheels Porche GT3 (I Believe) RS topping off the tank at the On The Run across the street.

    Well I had the opportunity to meet the lady who is often seen driving in the silver QP yesterday at my friend's watch shop. Very nice and the car was pretty cool up-close as well.

    I also spotted a titanium colored late model (fixed lights) honda-rari (NSX) on the loop near Classic MBZ.

    Don't even see many of those in these parts :)

    Actually, I believe that one was bought from Bent Tree. It was the one next to the glorified DeLorean. It had a repaint, despite the dealer saying it hadn't. I know better.

    On my way back from my grandparent's house in Boyd, passed a silver Aston DB9 on business 287 in Newark. Seemed out of place there. Also played cat and mouse at 110 miles an hour with a new Prowler Silver Viper convertible on 635, basically from 35 to Greenville Ave. I was impressed. Hope you all had an enjoyable turkey day.
