    Hello D,

    Yes, I have seen the yellow Maserati Gran Tourismo once before. I saw it heading up the Mt. Rose HWY towards Incline Village just like you did. That was a couple of months ago though. There is also a black Maserati Gran Tourismo owned by a young (VERY YOUNG) man here in Reno. :)

    I must say GB, you are a Brian Zuk in the making...and I mean that the the highest sense. Brian is THE Bay Area's "spotter" (as you can see in the previous posts, he is EVERYWHERE), and a GREAT guy to boot. His parents support him 110% for his passion for cars and they also deserve credit.
    Nice to see/hear about some exotics in the Truckee Meadows!!!
    BTW Brian, I still have that Ferrari shirt for you!!! PM me.

Yes their is some friendly competition between us (isn't that right Brian? ;) ) but that's half the fun! :D I'm glad you and other f-chatters enjoy reading my posts. I'll be sure to post every "spot" I see on this thread. keep your eyes open! ;)

    GB,
    BTW, the Jensen Interceptor IS a classic!!! Remember your PASSION is about the history! That car was/is a GREAT car! It may be a "few" years old, but if you are a true "petrol head", go start hanging out at Intrepid... The "SOUL" lives there!:) as far as Reno is concerned. You will see the ORIGINAL Ferrari TR's, etc.
    Get "in" w/ those guys, the are a good group!

    Burt is a good guy!!!
    They also support/restore/rebuild, all of those cars you see in his shop for vintage racing...and I mean guys from all over the US that trust him w/ $3-5M cars that fly in and race, etc.
    Last time I visited(few years back, he used to work w/ my fathers' cars), Burt had TWO 250TR's, and TONS of other classics...
    If I were you, I would try to get a job w/ him (sweeping floors, WHATEVER, etc.)... you will learn a LOT!!! Let alone the connections you would make;-)
    IMHO, he is THE shop!
    DO IT!!!

    Funny you mention getting a job there; at the beginning of this summer, I asked my dad if I could apply for some kind of job there. He said no because it would be a long commute each day. :( So instead, I work with the other kind of horsepower at an equestrian center with my girlfriend. It's only a 7 mile drive round-trip. :eek: Last time I was there, I saw a 575GTC, 250 SWB, Testarossa, and some others including a Lola. He's a GREAT guy. I'll have to stop by in the near future to say hi and see the shop again. :)

    Tonight in Reno:

    Black Ferrari 308 GTS

    Red Mercedes Gullwing

    Yesterday, sunday, too many cars driving around Carmel/Monterey to post. Ones I spotted that I did not see at any events, to name a few of the rarer ones, carrera gt, f50, slr roadster, 16Ms, dbs volante, versace edition lp640, 599s, veyron, blah blah blah blah. It was crazy...but the Pebble Beach Concours was even crazier. :D Vids to come.
