    Is that Rosenthal's Vector? I have a pic of his here in Brownsville. This one has a Lamborghini name plate on back of it, at first I thought it was just a kit car, somehow I'd forgotten all about Vector! Here's a couple pics.

    I'm assuming it's the same one because only 1 of the 12 was silver with blue interior.

    It really hurts me to look at that first photo. :(

    Sadly, haven't seen much. Drove by John Eagle a few times as its somewhat close to my house and keep seeing the rosso corsa California they have outside. I'll have to stop by and take a look at the inside sometime.

    Yesterday at Bee Caves Rd & HWY 71 I spotted the Rosso Corsa 360 Spider with the Marine Corps emblem on the rear. A red 911 Cabrio was trying to keep up. :)

    Yes, it's best to keep your distance from it anyways. He's been known to do impromptu donuts. :)

    I spotted a maroon Maserati QP on HWY 71 in the rain today.

    I spotted a gray Tesla on 620 Sunday afternoon.

    maroon Triumph TR3 on Research and Spicewood

    Drove by Spyker of Austin, they have 2 C8's inside, a black and a silver. I'll try to stop by after the New Year and check them out and get some pictures. Along with the other dealerships.

    Technically Creama, not white. I'm surprised that car is still there.

    This is M12, chassis 006. A total of 14 customer cars were produced plus 3 prototype cars, some of which were later converted to race cars.

    Not really a spot (sorry, I don't see anything up North :eek:)

    A VW Gol (third gen.), it had Texas plates, I've never seen one before. on 183 & 620. And a M6 coupe.

    That was his wife trying to catch him.....or maybe she was in the 360. Either way, he's crazy behind the wheel...;-)

    Last Friday I spotted a female driving a black Bentley CGT with black wheels on HWY 71. Looked kind of like a certain female actress but I can't be sure of that.

    Then on the same day in Lakeway I spotted what appeared to be a genuine Shelby Cobra. It was a blueish-green with a certain patina that the others I see don't have. I'm not positive it was real but it sure did look nice and old to me. If it wasn't genuine then it was a VERY good replica.

    Cool... the only one I've seen was a black one at the H20 car was several months ago.

    Last Sunday when it was raining I saw 4 different Maseratis on the road.

    A black GT on hwy 71, followed about 5 cars back by a maroon QP. Then about 3 minutes later I saw a pearl white QP on hwy 620. Later around 1pm I spotted a black QP at the Randall's grocery store in Lakeway.

    Not a car but definitely not an everyday sighting either. Today I spotted a private helicopter parked on top of a private boat house on Lake Austin. The 4 story house has a bridge that goes over the street to the waterfront. I always thought that it was a helicopter landing pad, but this is the first time I've ever actually seen a helicopter there. Pretty fricken cool if you ask me. :D
