    Sweet I look forward to seeing that car!

    Yesterday saw a black DB9 on hwy 2 south (surprise, surprise) and a silver V8 Vantage on Canyon Meadows - that was a surprise!
    Both sounded awesome as usual.

    Black 599, eh?

    Spotted two Gallardos today infront of Earls. A silver coupe and a darker silver spider. Pretty sweet.

    Also spotted a ton of Astons...

    The long way home
    Tough break with the Murci. Too recent an addition to have even been plated.

    Some eye candy recently -

    Orange Murcielago
    Grey Gallardo Spyder
    Yellow F430 Spider
    Grey F430 Spider
    Red F430 Coupe
    Yellow 360 Spider X2
    Red 360 Spider
    Red 360 Coupe
    Black 993 C4S
    Grey 997 TT Cab
    Grey and White Gran Turismos
    Several Bentley GT/FS/GTC, SLs, etc...

    And I had a black Scuderia blast past me like I was standing still... I s**t you not, my car vibrated! It was awesome :D

    Poor Lambo. It looked nice in grey with smoked lights. Sad to see things like that. Yea it's probably a write off. The impact even made the rollbars deploy.

    Yes i've seen that Scuderia in the same way you did. On 6th ave standing still and it also blasted past me. I've heard normal F430's before but that noise is totally different. So aggresive !

    the car was only in Canada for 6 days...... The driver is ok and he still has his Ferrari. No, there was no street racing involved. It was a matter of turning a corner and stability control kicking in, driver getting nervous and went to hit the brakes but his foot slipped and hit the gas.

    And just so its clear, its an 05 Murcielago.

    The owner is a super nice guy.

    Hi Jeff, never said he wasnt a nice guy. My quote was simply directed at the policeman's quote of the 60G's damage. It's NOT 60G's damage. Not even close. It's definetly a whole lot more.

    And yes, the driver is ok which is all that matters.

    Spots the last week or so:

    White Gallardo - Deerfoot & Southland
    Black F430 racing another (this pains me to say) "exotic" with a black SL55 trailing behind them last night on Deerfoot in the dark. They were too far in front of me to see and decipher what the other exotic was, hopefully someone else saw them too as they sounded amazing and looked cool darting in and out of traffic. That and I'm very curious.
    Red 997 TT - 22x
    Yellow F430 spider - Okotoks
    Yellow 360 spider - Anderson
    Blue Bentley GT - Hwy 2

    Older Rolls Royce on Kensington Road.
    A couple of Caterham kit cars by Higher Ground.
    F430 downtown on 6 street (I think)
    And I saw what I can only assume is a replica of a Bugatti Type 35 in the Kensington/10th street area. Does anybody have more information on this car? It's in the standard French racing blue. It looked like a pretty good kit, but I would be extremely shocked if it were the real deal.

    It's pretty real, not a kit. It's a modified 1927.

    Wow. That's pretty impressive. As far as I know, they're in the millions to purchase one. Am I correct?

    EDIT: I also didn't realize that the Pur Sang designation goes back to the 35. You learn something every day...
