2013 NY Tri-State Spotters Thread

Anyone have more info on when the launch at miller is?

 

Dec 7th, invite says rsvp by 5th.

 

I am not surprised as FNA wants to sell the car to people everywhere and its Park Avenue showroom is high visibility and gets lots of out of towners, whereas a dealer is just a dealer.

Looks good, I like that color combo as it looks like the one in all the magazines.

 

Are you going Al?

 

Hey Matt ,
idk... I have stuff to do that Saturday afternoon, but I Think I can get out of.

I am going to their Holiday party on the 6th. 6- 9pm, You wanna meet up?
You want to to go on the 7th? Let me know.

What about Wide World, they doing anything?

 

Yesterday in Greenwich:
Maserati GranTurismo S on the same road as carriage house motorcars
Maserati GranTurismo Sport off of West Putnam Ave
Bentley Continental FS at a restaurant in Stamford
Tons of 911's, XKR's, M's, etc.

Spotting here is great!

 

Spotting in Greenwich is like shooting fish in a barrel. Kind of like a fantasy land of cool cars especially on weekends.

 

I saw a silver F12 on Northern Blvd in Roslyn today - inspite of bad weather!

 

5 Porsche 911's on the Merritt in Stamford

 

I'm surprised there were that few.

Actually, I think we take it for granted how many 911s, Bentleys, Maseratis, etc. we have in the tri-state area (I lost count of how many I saw of each today). A friend of mine in western NJ rarely sees them.

A red 308 was on Rt. 4 this morning on my way to LI.

 

The gentlemen really drives that car. I saw him pick it up a number of weeks back at Ferrari of LI and it has been spotted a number of times since. Glad to see he is enjoying it.

 

LOL that was with only looking for about 20-30 min hahaahha... Im from Ohio and see like 1 a day if that haha (Well in the summer I see like 5-10 a day)

Shooting fish in a barrel for Greenwich is seriously accurate...
Today on Greenwich Ave there was:
Ferrari FF
Maserati GtanTurismo MC (the new facelifted one)
Bentley Continental GTC
McLaren MP4-12C
Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe

On West Putnam by Miller Motorcars:
Ferrari F12
Aston Martin Vanquish
Maserati Ghibli
Bentley Continental GTC
Porsche 911 GT3
And a few others!

 

Unless it is a Carrera GT or 959, Porsches are a dime a dozen (great cars) in Greenwich and not even worth spotting.

 

Hit the jackpot at the FNA showroom on Park this morning, around 8AM:

-- Metallic black FF with cream interior (black pipping).

-- Matt silver F12 with a reddish brown interior (The lightning made it hard to discern the interior color. I don't think it was chocolate/cocoa.)

-- A glorious Corsa Speciale (It looks far more refined, far more of a piece in person than it does in pictures.)

I'm glad I carry a roll of Bounty in the trunk . . .

 

In NYC:
Ferrari California parked by THE gold Bull
Maserati QP parked near where you can see Ellis island
Bentley Cont GT on 2nd St

In Greenwich:
Bentley Continental GTC x2
AM V8 Vantage
911 GT3

 

Finally saw my first C7 Corvette -outside of car shows - in the wild this morning on Rt. 17. It was the blue limited "premier edition" and it was glorious.

 

Black Dino turning right off Broadway onto W72nd Saturday night. The paint was pretty worn, the rear taillight colors were wrong and the rear track seemed really wide. Maybe a replica?

 

Saw the Maserati Ghibli for the first time this morning on Rt. 17 in Paramus.

 

And? What did you think?

 

I saw one side-by-side with a QP and to be honest I didn't see much of a difference. Inside though, much smaller back seat.

Kind of reminds me of the new BMWs, looks-wise, except better. Didn't think I would like it, judging from pics. I think it looks better than the new QP. It sounded good, too.

 

I went in today.

What I called "matte silver' is labelled "Aluminum". The interior is "Charcoal/Rosso", not chocolate/cocoa.

What a car!!!!!!!!!

 

Saw a black 458 Italia at the corner of West Saddle River Rd. and Allendale Rd., then saw the car again on East Saddle River Rd. moments later.

Then a black Murcielago LP640 Roadster cruising on the already salted Rt. 17 in Paramus. Both this morning.
