    In Edmonton or visiting Edmonton? I drive to Edmonton all the time doesn't mean I live there.
    Besides, the guy has two daughters, who knows.

    Firstly, how do you know he has two daughters (please teach me your ways!!)? <---- EDIT - I didn't realise you were speaking of Ken King... I thought you had some sort of psychic powers that told you who had daughters... I'd love to know about that!!

    I never said whether it was just visiting or not, just that the car is clearly in Edmonton ;) That, and I saw it at the dealer prior to be shipped to the buyer in Edmonton, so I just figured...

    Also, Ken King drives something much more understated.

    Now that's what I call a better answer! Your first one was far too vague so I thought I'd dig a little more. Like I said I have no idea who owns/drives the gallardo - clearly a shot in the dark. I did notice that the car was in edm but didn't think that should affect my guess any.

    Now I know better. Thanks.

    BTW, on a scale of psychic to psycho I unfortunately come much closer to psycho! I could only dream of having such powers!

    Does anyone know of any F1 viewing parties in Calgary? Places that show the race, with sound? Pulcinella maybe?

    If anyone is into the Bullrun, they are starting the "race" at the Hotel Arts in downtown Calgary, 12th Avenue and 1st street SW.

    It's been the silverstone show.... Silverstone 430 spider yesterday heading into Mount Royal from 8th St. SW
    "Silverstone" dark grey BMW Z8 with hard top this morning.
    Regular silver Z8 with hard top two or so days ago.

    What day is the BullRun starting? Any info on it would be greatly appreciated. Are the ZR guys still in the East?

    Hey

    I'm just watching snippets here and there. Not a huge F1 guy...

    I stopped by Ferrari of Alberta over the weekend. They are definitely still in moving in mode. Inside the "showroom" there was a dark Quattroporte with rims and a dark Maserati Granturismo. In the back service centre, there was a silver 575M, 2 430 coupes, 1 430 spider, yellow Testarossa (belongs to an F-chatter?), white and black Quattroportes, and a maroon Maserati convert.

    I saw a new BMW X6 tooling around today. I know it's not exotic or anything - I just didn't realize they were already in public hands.

    Yeah, I've seen two of them around. One dark red, and the other a light grey. The thing looks like ass.

    I'll be there. Someone needs to go with a sign that says "F-Chat" on it, or something.

    EDIT: The website says that it starts on the 20th, but one user in the forum says it's the 21st. Also, if anybody has a start time (I'm guessing 9:00), that'd be super.

    I'll for sure be there!! Haha maybe F-chat members will get V.I.P. access. Unfortunatley I will only be there on the 19th to see the cars arrive. On the 20th morning I have an Exam I must take so I won't be there for the starting line. I appreciate if anyone would get lots of pics at the starting line.

    One of my neighbors has a white one. I like the way it looks. Yea I was pretty surprised when I saw the first grey one driving around. It came out pretty quick.

    I contacted the Bullrun guys to see what time they are departing and this was the response:

    We leave about 9am from St Stephens Ave on the 21st June.
