The Alberta Thread!

I just saw a black 599 on Monday speeding by on Mcleod. It sounded great.

 

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...

"Edmonton police are looking at whether speed was a factor in a crash that caused about $60-thousand damage to a Lamborghini"

LOL...oh I don't think so.

 

60K downpayment to the bodyshop maybe

 

looks like a write off.

 

Exactly

 

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

 

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.

LOL - just wrong in so many ways.

 

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

 

Crickets in here!

Back from the dead indeed

Saw a red Testarossa in Mission today, red Esprit and white Exige on 17th. Red F430 coupe and yellow Porsche 997 by Rockyview, light silver F430 spider off 4th St. + 17th, black LP640 last weekend, white LP5600, Fort GTs, Bentleys, Quattroportes...

 

November and enjoyed a great drive today in Edmonton-Camrose. Cleaned the pipes out.

 

Finally some action in this section again!
More spots today:
Silver GT-R - Crowchild
Grey w/white stripes Ford GT - Crowchild
Red 328 - 52nd street
Silver Aston DB9 - Memorial
Porsche Turbo's (silver, yellow) - downtown, blackfoot
White S5 - not really exotic but first I've seen

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...

 

This Ferrari police chase video just popped up on youtube.
