    Probably because in case of a breakdown, you too can have your own "Deliverance" experience.

    There's a bar or two down there with rainbows by the front door, I'm pretty sure you could get one of those at any time if that's what you're into. :)

    I know where that is.

    I remember seeing a white CT down that way in the last year or two.

    Don't make it over that far much these days.

    There was a nice selection of Rolls' and Bentley's among others at the Salvation Army silent auction and fashion show. Nice way to spot, just sit and watch...

    What a beautiful day for spotting, and what a day it was! Just at North Park alone, there was a white Rolls Phantom in front of P.F.Changs with a black Aston DB9 ( I believe ) valeted about 90 feet away. Then there was a beautiful black Bentley CGT with massive chrome wheels in front of Nordstroms along with a black Maser QP with an Obama campaign sticker on the rear window, and next to it was a stunning black (I hope I'm right on this one) 599 GTB with shields. I was standing next to it as he turned it over and man did it purr... On the way home going down Abrams, there was another black Maser QP that passed me heading towards Lakewood around St. Thomas. It truly was an awesome Friday....Oh, and if the owner of the black 599 is a fellow FC'er, I hope the chairs you were putting in the passenger side didn't scuff or tear the hides....

    We went to the Oar House for dinner tonight and I caught a glimpse of a silver Maser Cambio poking out from the other side of a truck in the parking lot. Haven't seen it in town yet...

    Next time you're there, try the Triglia al Burro with a glass of Beaujolias. It's an amazing pair. And finish it with the Gran Marnier Strawberry cake. If you do go, drop me a note before you go because I would love to look at the 360 and see how you can park it there safely...

    Sounds like a plan I will give you a shout when I am out there next. I used to bring a couple of bottles of the first issue of Beaujolias Nova when I travelled to Lille each month it got to be too commercialised though.

    Beaujolias is always just an option, there are other excellent selections as you know. I look forward to it. And just as a thought, with all the get togethers of Ferraris and such, mabey Rockwall should have one as well...I have a contact at the Oar House that could organize it if anyone likes the idea...

    Pearl Orange LP640 at Mockingbird and Greenville today around 3:30 I think. I was grabbing a burger next door. Before that, at Preston and Forest, a champagne colored Bentley CGT, and just after that at Preston and 635, a blue or black Maser QP.

    Black Diablo SV at Bonnell's in SW FtW tonight around 8:30. Nice looking car. Carefully parked away from everyone else.

    Bonnell's is one of my favorite places, also good to know that there is a black Diablo SV in Ft. Worth.

    Leaving DCC around noon after getting ready for Mr. T Pickens' bash, turned left onto Beverly. A few blocks down was an older Maroon Rolls, then a silver Maser Gran Sport on Lomo Alto, another Gran Sport, white, on University I believe, around the church, a dark silver Maser QP on the back side of DCC, a Black Bentley GTC with black top, top up for some strange reason, at Mockingbird and Hillcrest, then a black Bentley Conti Flying Spur on Preston around the Y. Not a bad day in Highland Park....

    Catching up once again..

    Last Monday as I was rolling into DAL for a flight out to Tennessee, a nice red 550 with shields (Arkansas plates?) was pulling out onto Mockingbird. Looked like a younger couple..

    I was at DCC yesterday also, around 12:30 for my dad's 90th birthday party in the ladies card room. You didn't mention spotting
    the Honda CRV I am temporarily driving as the Charger got sold last week. I feel so "green" driving it.

    I wish I would have known you were there, I would have treated you to a nice day on the links. I didn't see the CRV, but I also failed to mention spotting a beautiful snow white Accord that I was driving, so don't feel too bad, the Honda's might steal the spotlight here!

    I ate at Bonnell's that night and never saw it. Bummer.

    Dropped by RUF this morning and they had 3 Carrera GTs on site. Black, Silver, and Yellow. Not often you see a herd together, they are typically loners.
