Wife spotted a black Ultima GTR on HW280 today in the bay area. I've never spotted one before.

 

-Light blue Lotus Evora on Zolezzi this morning.

-Black Ferrari F430 Spider on Arrowcreek Pkwy this afternoon at 4:30pm...a 430 at 4:30...thought it was funny. Car sounded great!

New spot for Reno today. Spotted a deep dark metallic red Fisker Karma going up Zolezzi this afternoon at around 12:40. Never seen one in Reno before. Beautiful color too. Looked like it had new plates?

Tony (oldcoin) in his red Ferrari 512 TR headed north on 395 by Scolari's.

White Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster turning into a subdivision off of Lakeside.

Saw Tony (oldcoin) again today in his 512TR coming down Zolezzi Lane this afternoon at around 1:45. I waived, but I don't think you saw me. I was in the Jeep today; not the Mini.

Black Ferrari 612 Scaglietti with dealer plates turning from South Virginia St. onto Foothill Road by the Grove at around 5:15 p.m. or so. Looked beautiful.

Guy traded his Gallardo in for it earlier this year.

Silverish-grey Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG with "BLITZEN" plates on 395 headed north by the GSR this morning at around 9:30. The owner is very kind; have ridden in that car before.

beautiful gray 599 today on 280S near the milbrae/burlingame area around 5:40 driven by a woman

 

Red 328 GTS on S. Virginia at Meadowood mall Here in Reno on Saturday.
A nice Bently Continental convertible on California at Arlington on Sunday.

 

Finally, someone else in Reno posts that they saw exotics. Ed, if you read through previous pages in this thread, I've seen numerous exotics here in town...some people don't completely believe me when I post, so I've stopped posting(or at least decreased the number of times I post) in this thread. I'm not sure who has the red 328 here in town other than Mike, but he was at the hillclimbs in VC this weekend with his 458, so that probably wasn't him. I've seen numerous 308 GTS's in town. What color was the Bentley?

-Gil

 

Gil

The Bently was black with light tan interior.

We were on two wheels for the hill climbs on Sat & Sun, sorry we missed you and I'll try to help you out with the car spotting.

If you want to see a few Ferrari's come down to the Italian festival this weekend the Sacramento chapter of the FCA Pac will have several cars coming over the hill to Reno.

Ed

 

I know that Bentley.

I am about 90% sure I will be at the Italian Festival on Saturday; depends on if I can get off of work, but I'm confident that I will. If I go, I'll be bringing a 328 GTS down. Look forward to seeing you again!

Pair of Porsche 918's on the Embarcadero right in front of the Ferry Building around 12:30. They both had a white with black spot paint (or is that black with white spots?) and Georgia plates. Unfortunately, I couldn't get shots as they drove by pretty quickly even with the lunchtime traffic.

I am in Reno on vacation. Where/what/when is Italian show?

Thanks.

BTW - saw a guy at Pegs during breakfast with a red Ferrari coat on. No Ferrari. Does that count?

 

Pegs, great breakfast.
Italian festival is 10am to 6pm today and 10am to 4pm tomorrow in downtown Reno, the Cars will be parked on 4th st. at Virginia st.
I'm heading out the door, see you there.

Ed

 

Have fun at the Italian Festival today guys. Won't be able to make it due to work.

Saw quite a few Ferraris yesterday (Friday) within a 15 minute period.

-Tony (oldcoin) going up Arrowcreek in his red Ferrari 512TR (I waved).
-Red Ferrari F430 on 395...God that car was gorgeous.
-Red Ferrari 348TS on McCarran by Plumas.
-Cream Rolls-Royce Siver Ghost where the 348 was.

-Gil

 

This was only last week. It was in a body shop, about the third car in, parked outside. Probably a 4-cam. The body shop was between downtown and the West side, south side of the street.
I was going about 45 mph so didn't stop to look but I was glad to be able to spot a potentially half million dollar Ferrari in a body shop, would rather have found it covered with dust in a corner than outside where everyone and his brother can see it....

Red Tesla roadster on McCarran between 4th & Mayberry in Reno yesterday.

 

Good to see you today Ed. Your 550 was gorgeous as usual; you keep it in wonderful condition.

I saw a grey Nissan GT-R turning onto South Virginia Street by 7-11 and Kohl's this afternoon at about 12:30 or so. There are quite a few of them around south Reno now...
