    Nice!! I haven't seen either of those cars in person yet. The Enzo is just a few blocks down the street from my office.

    Nice dark-silver/gun-metal'like '06+ Aston Martin V8-Vantage on 2222 headed north towards 620, earlier this evening around ~6pm'ish. Very nice car to see in motion. . .

    Yesterday I spotted a silver Aston Martin V8 Vantage at 3rd & Congress.

    Then just a few minutes later I spotted a black convertible Aston Martin DBS at 5th & Lavaca. It sounded incredible!!

    I don't know the streets out here but my lady and I were walking to docs on Congress to watch all the rods drive around and saw a charcoal gray Gran Turismo on the big bridge with the bats. Lol that's the only way I know to describe the bridge

    LOTS of cars are gone right now. Did you see the Ariel Atom? That's one of my favorites, aside from the Enzo. :)

    I was working all day but I saw a few cars while I was downtown.

    Dark gray Maserati GT at MLK & Guadalupe.

    Gray or maybe olive green Aston Martin on 5th near Lamar.

    Black Bentley CGTC on Lavaca turning onto 7th.

    Austin Healey on Guadalupe near 6th.

    Not an exotic but I on Congress I spotted a guy driving a black Audi A4 and he had on a Ferrari hat. Was that anyone on here?

    Then I spotted several "interesting" cars on south Congress. My favorites were the bus & the big off-road truck. The bus said "No Class Today" on the back.

    Sorry, I was driving so most of these photos are pretty crappy.

    Mike that 550 is gorgeous. Last night i saw a black gallardo on s congress. That was fun, I'm back home now so no more spotting for me in Austin. Hopefully one day we'll move up there.

    Around 4pm Sunday evening on 183N near Anderson/Bacones, I crossed paths w/ a white Murcielago roadster/convertible. Looked like a space-ship relative to other vehicles on the highway.
    That's an original 550, as-in not a replica?

    Looks unreal, beyond awesome. I'm not well-versed w/ classic/vintage Porsche.

    It's a Beck 550 Spyder. It's a very high-quality replica (compared to the other 550 replicas out there) It's a very fun and cool car. I fit in it quite nicely, but getting out is the hard part. :)

    I do also know someone that has a real 550 Spyder but it's not here in town. Those are big bucks!

    Mike,
    I am new in Austin, and stumbled on this Forum. I own a 430 Spyder... and I am looking forward to go visit the new Ferrari dealership. I saw in one of the postings that it may help sign up with FCA... do you have a contact for that.

    Looking forward to get engaged and meet new people at one of the future functions. Best.

    Go to Ferrari Club of America and you can sign up on line. Once you do that you can contact the local President Mike Lambert to tell him you signed up and paid for membership as National is slow to let the regions and local clubs to know. You can pm me and I'll give you his contact info
