Spotters Thread #7

Bart...It might help if you washed your Ferrari!! lol

Oh Yeah...360 Red Spider north bound 5 fwy wednesday around 10:30 am

 

White TR w/5 spoke wheels in the Pep Boys parking lot off Fallbrook (Canoga Park). Admit it, you were looking for one of those gold chain steering wheels..

-Chris
I was there buying bondo, but NOT for a car..

 

I saw that car Wednesday night on Ventura Blvd by DeSoto. It had 5 lug wheels.

 

Don't they all? Or do you mean 4-Lug?

-Chris

 

Early Tr's had a single center lug. After 88 1/2 they went to a 5 lug pattern.

 

Bruce's old yellow TR and SunBurns's pre 88.5 TR

 

Thanks for pointing it out.. I just assumed that was a lug cover, not a single lug!

-Chris

 

6:30PM PST Sunday
Silver 355 Spyder with dark top (uo) getting gas at Mobile: Los Virgines one block off the 101.

 

Spotted 3 360 spiders and a Diablo while in Paris for Thanksgiving - the first 360 was while having a coffee with our F-chat comrade-in-Paris gordon (Jean) near the Arc de Triomphe. Great welcome!!!

Cheers
Kevin

 

Yep, he PM'd me & asked - It sure was. I was going over to FAI to see Rick's new 348. I honked at the Burgandy 355 & waived, but he could care less.

 

Saw a Maserati Quattroporte in downtown LA last night around 6-ish eastbound on 5th just past Figueroa. Grigio. Looked bloody fantastic.

Cheers
Kevin

 

That is my white TR with the 5 lug Maranello wheels that was at pep boys and running around Woodland Hills. I needed new wiper blades for my Jetta and was aching for an excuse to go for a spin.

Spotted a stunning 308 in the Orange Circle around lunch time. Oh the way the sound echoed off the buildings...it was great!

 

Too funny.. I probably walked past you on the way in.

-Chris

 

Took the wife and the 348 Spider to Aqua tonight (Friday night) for dinner - came out of dinner and sitting next to me was a beautiful red TR. Nice to see two hot-lookin' bright red Ferrari's side by side.

 

Yesterday at around 1pm a red 550/575 on the 10 fwy east in Santa Monica.

 

friday the 3rd:

red dino on PCH in malibu around 830pm
black 360 (custom wheels) infront of spago in BH @11:30pm
silver 360 spider willshire/santa monica @ midnight

 

Silver 575 on Baker St.
Followed a Silver (or titanium?) 360 on MacArthur for a while after CC
Spotted a red 360 while following the silver 360 on MacArthur

 

Yellow 360 immediately behind me pulling into "La Paz" for lunch(?) this afternoon (Sat.) in Calabasas.

 

So...not a Ferrari, but earlier tonight around 7ish, I spotted the Chrysler ME12! Driving east on 2nd street in Downtown at the intersection of Figueroa. Though I didn't notice any filming going on at the time, I know earlier as I passed by it looked like they were shooting something in the area, not a big production though, just some lighting and cops hangin' around. Maybe it was there for a Chrylser commercial or for the upcoming LA Auto Show, or perhaps another reason. Just as I saw it crossing the intersection, my buddy shouted "what the hell is that?" as my mind was quickly trying to put together what it was. It was dark and I caught a good glimpse of the profile as it slithered by. Almost no doubt it was the ME12. Pretty cool looking. Didn't get to hear anything--didn't look like it was revvin too hard and the windows were up. Anyway, just thought I'd mention it to you guys.

 

I saw a red 360 F1 Spider getting a VERY hard work out on Ventura Blvd between Woodlake & Valley Circle (Mulholland) @ 7:30PM.. Two or three hard launches and it went full bore through a very bad section of road. Aftermarket exhaust of some sort.

It had Auto Gallery plates & the car exited at the Auto Gallery in Calabasas.. I can only assume some lackey went out for a spin before closing? I'm all for actually driving a car, but this looked like borderline abuse.

-Chris

 

Red on black F355 GTS w/ the top off near Brand Blvd. and Colorado in Glendale.

 

Baseline Blvd., Claremont/Upland

a red 360 Modena with Challenge grill (or a 360 CS - Kevin's???).... I don't think it was CS... it was really quiet...

 

hello,

went to west hollywood for dinner last night, one black 550 in sunset plaza and then a red enzo parked on sunset...
malibu for lunch today (about 80 degrees here!), a burgundy mondial, a silver maranello, a blue 360 spyder, a yellow 355 spyder, a black 360 modena, a silver 360 modena (these last 2 were driven by 2 girls) ...
oh, and my friend on his yellow gallardo yesterday afternoon (plus another gallardo thursday morning in beverly hills)

it is just endless here....

 

I saw an absurd about of Ferraris while cruising up and down PCH from Crystal Cove to Huntington Beach today with my buddy. Mostly 360s but one black 355 as well.

Best spot of the day though, our very own Steve in his 348 spider on PCH near Newport Autosport! Hi Steve
