ohio spotters thread!!!

^Edit: it's been pointed out and I've confirmed, that was no California. Wrong tailpipes. That was a 599!!! My first! What a freaking day! Not must quantity, but oh boy some quality!

 

Get used to it my friend, (despite what you'd think) Cleveland has TONS of exotics
...and even quite a bit that none of us have seen yet

Allow me to go for quantity, lol:

black Bentley Continental GTC
gray Nissan GT-R

at Moxie:

at Eton Chagrin:

black NSX? I know I haven't seen that car, and probably several of the others, black Viper I don't recall. Guess I'll have to keep going back to Chagrin!

Today at market I barely got a shot of 3 ferraris in line, had to run away from a regular customer! :lol: the last was something 80's, the other two modern, and all very cool, definitely cars I haven't seen before. Too bad I can't spot ID anything other than a 360 and California (and even those I mess up sometimes, like yesterday when I called a 599 a Cali...)

Then on the way back to the farm, at Music and 306 there was a tour of classics coming up to 306 from the other side (the nice, pretty side E of 306.) Definitely a classic Ferrari, and I think a Maserati, help with ID's would be appreciated.

so, what I thought was a ferrari was an austin healy... knew I'd seen a prancing pony, but attached it to the wrong car in my memory. the possible maserati is the ferrari, perhaps a 250 Lusso? Anybody know if there's one of these in town?

 

Yes, the blue Ferrari is a 250 GT Lusso Berlinetta... I've met the owner before... very nice guy!

Hey Fellas,

New member here from Southern Ohio. A few days ago, the wife and I saw an orange McLaren MP4-12C near our home in Dayton. It got on the highway with us, and I was thrilled. I was driving my S550 with the whole family, so NO GAMES from me

It was so agile, nimble, quick, and just wowed us all. Made great noises too. The driver pulled off the highway after 1 mile, so probably some sort of demo for a friend. It had TEXAS plates! What are the odds, right? Especially this early in its production cycle.

My uncle here in town has a new Ghost, an F355, and a Spur. He has a Phantom at his beach house in Florida.

Cheers! I LOVE CARS!!!

Oh, currently stalking a 360 Spider for myself.

 

Welcome! Did you at least have your family get pics of the McLaren?

 

Nope, sorry. I'm left with only the memory of the sight and sound.

 

Spotted today in and around Esoteric Auto Detail in New Albany...a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport!

Is it local? My friend saw it on Polaris Pkwy today.
