The Ontario Thread!

Are we talking about Wayne Newton?

 

Vman, you could have called me you know

Yes, i saw that car as well, i was actually thinking about it...but then i thought....i'll wait until my 50th bday to treat myself...i might even trade in the TR for that by then

It didn't happen. I made it up.

 

I seen a Dark blue with blue top Aston Martin DB9 Volante in Ingersoll today, I was shocked to look out my rearview and see it staring back at me. best timmies run in a long time

 

Is this the same Canadian car which Lucas is photographing ?

It looks like these are foreign plates, is it a Canadian owner, or is it a tourist from the US ?

 

It is from Virgina. I think its a tourist because It was in Pebble Beach for the Concourse.

 

The sun really brought out the exotics in Waterloo today, really wish I had my camera with me.

White Lamborghini Countach on Yonge/16th in the middle of nite. Amazing.

seen this car many times
the guy lives in Richmond Hill and also owns a White Murcielago

 

Virginia plates, it is the USA press car. I have around 100 pictures which I'll put up into a gallery tomorrow.

 

After a nice chat with the Bugatti CEO the other day, I wouldn't exactly call it a press car. This car remains on the east coast and should be on its way to Florida. There is a sister car to this running around the west coast for a similar purpose.

I know who the driver in the photo is and I think he'd prefer to keep his name on the DL.

 

Since it's driving and not being shipped seems like something to do with marketing/publicity/press, and if the driver doesn't want publicity, I'll do it for maximum shameless promotion, lol.

On another topic I happened to go on Nissan's site to take a look at a GT-R and had major sticker shock to see them starting at $98K. I thought they were basically Nissan's version of a G-35.

 

Nissan does have a version of the G35 - it's called the 350Z .... You thought a 911TT/Exotic killer would be under 50k!?

 

It's already on a truck.

 

I saw a GTR entering the QE in oakville this morn, no way id pay 98K for one.

 

Go down to the US, and you can pick one up for $69k.

As usual, us Canadians are getting really screwed with car prices.....now that the dollar is par, its easy to see the price difference. Here are some "used" cars I have recently compared:

Ferrari 599: $299k US.........$389k CD

Ferrari 360 Coupe: $95k US......$125k CD

Cadillac Escalade: $49k US.....$64k CD

 

I got nailed yesterday morning on a back street in my neighbourhood for not displaying my front license plate.

Has anyone had any experience with it - is it worth going to court to have the fine decreased or removed or do they treat it black and white? Obviously pleading not guilty isn't an option.

 

They look nice and I thought they were just another 'tuner' or 'fast and furious' car.

 

Unless you can put your front plate on temporarily and take a photo (and remove the plate thereafter ), they won't do much about the fine.

 

I've been seeing GT-Rs everywhere lately. I saw a potentially "ricey" red/black one with a custom paint job that was DEFINITELY lowered, on matte black rims today.

This was on Winston Churchill Blvd in Mississauga, just south of the 401.


I saw a black GT-R on Mississauga Rd near Eglinton Ave last night, as well as a grey one (that was at the exotic cruise I believe, with a custom plate) in Woodbridge last week.

Hoping to see a couple more soon. It's extremely large but I haven't quite grown on the styling yet. I'd take a 370Z over one, simply because I wouldn't want to be out $100K+ and only have a Nissan badge on my car. For $100K I better be getting a name that makes heads turn. I'm thinking... pre-owned V8 Vantage or 512TR?
