    I saw them at middlefield and shoreline in Mountain View this evening. Quite a sight to see when you aren't expecting it.

    Two sightings today! Might be due to that Monterey thing. First one was around 6pm today. A nice red F355 Berlinetta going north on the El Camino Real in San Mateo. First one I've ever seen actually moving. #2 was parked in front of Steelhead Brewery in Burlingame. A blue 360 spider. I am not 100% sure of the 360 since It was a glimpse. As the F355 & I were out & about. Terrorizing....and causing general Mayhem. Get State Farm....

    Ten GT4s yesterday at Concorso, but then another GT4 out in the wild today. Winchester just south of 280, a dark blue GT4, and not the same one from Concorso yesterday. There are more GT4 hiding around here than I thought!

    Sorry, but again your ratio of "spots" to pics is a little "off"...just sayin'?
    Whenever I'm in Reno I find it extremely difficult to "spot", but you seem to discover a gold mine?

    Luck of the draw? :eek:

    Like I've said before, most of my spots are when I'm driving and taking a picture is not an option/safe thing to do. However, you must admit that I've been getting better with photos; if they're in a parking lot or what-not, I do take a photo and post it here.

    About 9:30pm a quick spot of a red F430 near Burlingame Ave. I got next to the dude and he said it was a 2008.
