    I love the Spyker!!!! Looks like it has sold (not a dealer plate)

    I just heard "It's NOT sold!! It is a dealer plate."

    I was there. Good wine, good food. California looks OK. Back seats are very small. One lady kind of laughed and said "the back seat is just big enough for my purse!"
    I heard this is the first Ferrari with cruise control. Is that true?
    I drove down from Edmonton. Cruise could be a good thing.
    Cheers, Gary

    True. Also the first Ferrari with cupholders. I didn't want to believe it until I saw them myself.

    Ahh, the beginning of the end :(

    If you have a Ferrari you should have the decency to park it and appreciate a real coffee. It's called an espresso.

    Oh and G, hope all is well my friend. How is the 355 running? :)

    Thanks for asking.
    The car is running good overall. I did have an issue with the left header. That has now been repaired. The car does a very minor and intermittent rough idle. Have not investigated the problem yet. I think it may be the TPS. Wife and I took the car to Jasper for the weekend a few weeks back. Sure is a great drive down the icefields parkway.

    Who was driving the red 25th anniversary Countach down Macleod Trail a day or two ago around 700PM ?

    The reason I ask is either you weight 500 pounds or the driver's side of your car's suspension is broken. It had a pronounced driver's side droop when viewed from behind on various road surfaces. Nice car otherwise.

    Excuse my laziness but is the SLR 722S Roadster still at Lone Star? I'd like to show it to a friend if it is - purely for drooling purposes.

    I believe it was a standard SLR car, and not a 722 edition... Last time I saw it there was a few months ago.

    Haven't seen an SLR on the road in Calgary since last year.

    The 722 badges on the car would say otherwise :D

    Not sure if it's still there though. If it's not there, I would bet it is not because the sold it!

    Does that pearl white 550/575 reside in Alberta now? It was a Quebec car, last I remembered.
