    kds and prancing 12,

    Thanks for the replies. It makes me more confident in dealing with them. A second related question is where is the best place to take a vehicle for a PPI in Calgary? Mercedes or Porsche.

    Thanks again. I appreciate the replies.

    Looks like a nice meet. A little graphics-heavy on the Enzo, but that's one amazing machine!

    Not to sound needy, but is anyone posting meet dates here? I seem to have missed the memo about that one.

    My wife was coming home late on Thursday evening and called me to tell me so. She broke up our conversation to let me know that she had been passed (very quickly) by a super low, crazy looking yellow exotic. I asked her to describe it - yup definitely ZRs Enzo. Not sure what to think of the back end yet. But still very cool! Thanks for the pics.

    I saw a very, um, interesting F430 Spider today... it looked to be finished in Rosso Barchetta (maybe Firorano?) and had a red convertible top that didn't match the body at all... odd.

    Also saw a Black on Black Carrera GT last Saturday on Sarcee... looked and sounded awesome.

    Saw a Red Countach in the rain last night on Stoney trail... I was going the other way, so I'm not sure if it was authentic or not. Also in the rain, I saw a Silver 360 Spider.

    Other spots -

    Red, Grey and Black F430 coupes
    Red Testarossa
    Red F355 Spider
    Yellow Diablo (early car)
    3 Maserati Gran Turismos within 100m of each other around Mercato the other night
    Grey Aston DBS
    Cayenne Turbo S with PCCBs

    My guess is probably speed was a factor! ;)

    Spotted my first Audi R8 V10 on the streets tonight... It was in that new blue heading north on Crowchild over Bow Tr. Didn't really look like anything special, the only reason I knew what it was, was because of the colour.

    Agreed. Already saw a black one, and if it wasn't for the V10 badge on fender and different rims I couldn't tell the difference. I wonder how the new car performs though.

    I didn't realize the blue meant that it was the V10. I saw a blue R8 heading into Okotoks on Hwy 7 last Saturday. Color was very cool but looked like any other R8.

    There's a new blue unique to the V10, but the 08-09 R8 V8s were also available in two other blues

    Oh. The one I saw was Sepang Blue pearl effect - that's the new one right?

    Also, Kulu has two cars that look to have been brought in already pre sold - F430 Challenge and another (?) Enzo or is it one that has already been in the city? Speaking of cool cars I drove by Lone Star yesterday and saw what looked to be a Ferrari 250 GTE being unloaded off of an enclosed carrier - please correct me if I'm wrong, I only caught a glance of it.

    This particular Enzo now lives in Pumphill.... and I wouldn't be surprised if this guy also bought the Challenge car as well.

    It is with sadness that I report an icon in the Italian car world, Sandro from Alessandro motors passed away Wednesday while on holidays. He will be greatly missed. A true gentleman that was true to his word and a man of honest integrity. His work spoke for itself and his loyalty from his clients and friends was significant. A good man.

    That is a shame. A real stand up guy and a great mechanic gone far too early. He worked on my cars and those of a few of my clients over the years.

    RIP.

    Very unfortunate news. I saw him just before he left for holidays.

    RIP.
