    i stopped by FMofA today to try and see 483's Scud, but alas it was not there :D They still had the F40 up on the lift in the back, along with 6 or so F430's. In the front was a Red Scuderia still in its plastic wrapping. Surrounding the Scud, were 5 or so Gran Turismo's.

    Spots on the streets have been few and far between. The usual F430's in every colour, Gallardos, Astons.

    I spotted a brown Lamborghini Espada on the highway en route to Banff. Odd looking car, but very cool.

    I'm shocked you didn't see the White Countach with it. Neat pair of cars.

    I saw a couple Ferraris you (unfortunately) don't see everyday...

    Red F355B w/ wheels (owned by an F-chatter I think)
    Silver 456GT... hadn't seen this car for over a year and thought it may have left town; good to see it's still around.

    Also saw a Neptune blue GTC and then later the same colour on a car at the Bentley dealer... I can't believe there's two of these!

    Negative on the Countach spotting.... I should be more specific: The Espada was on Range Road 42 (22) Saturday Morning.

    Prancing: Where did you see the 456?? Classy!

    The 456 was at Lone Star in the customer parking area... it would be a shame to move from that to anything the current Benz line offers :( Don't get me wrong, they make some rockets (SL63!) but sooooo boring!

    That was awesome. That Espada is such a neat car for its' time and really nice to drive. Very powerful. Great Day!
    Glen, I know both cars and own the Anniversario car, contact me, I'll give you the details. The lowest serial numbered car known to exist, and a DD as well. 1 of 3 in Bianco Perlato.

    Also spotted a new GT-R Nissan at the Auto Mall. Cool little car!

    I love the mention of local 'celeb' Mr. Bronconnier. Never thought I'd hear of him on F-Chat. He's the mayor now if I'm not mistaken? I remember when he was an Alderman in my ward when I lived back home.

    I had heard this, but was so sure my leg was being pulled that I didn't even look into it. I'd like to know the story behind this Koenigsegg... first in Canada? Does that mean there's an importer/distributor? Pretty neat prize if you ask me (*runs off to buy a ticket, hoping to come in second*)


    Edit - And for spots from the last few days, I have -

    2009 SL63 Black
    2009 Challenger Orange
    BMW Z8 in Beige/tan/something (looked good though, honest)

    F430 Coupe in Red/Black
    360 Modena in Red
    360 Modena in Silver

    Rolls Royce Drop Head in Black with the stainless hood parked in Marda Loop. I think it's the same one previously spotted in Mission, but now carries AB plates. Awesome presence.
