Hey great pics Lucas!! Awesome pics! That Gallardo is absolutely stunning and gorgeous in dark blue with chrome rims colour scheme! The owner has excellent taste. Man you should use that Gallardo as your photo portfolio opportunity to pursue a career as a professional future photographer for a car magazine. Who knows one day we will be admiring your work in the mags. Guys, tomorrow, a friend of mine will be driving and giving me a ride in his father's '89 Countach 25th An. out of winter hibernation for the first time. This is not a fake kit replica. It's a real thing! We will meet with a physically handicapped teenage kid, who just lost his mother last month. We both have deep sympathies for him without his mom to care for him and want to cheer him up, by giving him a ride in his ultimate dream car, a Countach. His family knows about our plan, but he still does not know about it. So we will give him a one HELLUVA BIG SURPRISE and make his dream come true for the day in his favourite car! To all you potential spotters, expect to see us blasting along 404 and 401 in the afternoon! I hope the weather will be nice. I just can't wait for the day and also see the kid's reaction!!! Also, if any of you happen to take pics of the car and post on the web, I would really appreciate it, if you can please obscure the license plates, in order to respect my friend's family privacy. Thanks.
whoa, amazing pics buddy.... you got some real talent ( i think this is the 10th time i said that lol).. where abouts were the pics taken? the house in the background looks like one in mississauga. yay - 1st subscribed post
Thanks for the compliments guys! It's fun to see all my hard work paying off. The pictures were taken in Richmond Hill. I saw a few pics of Ferrari of ontario and they have an MC12, 333SP and an F40 upstairs, Someone please go there and take pics!!
Guess the subject line says it all eh! That was by far the wildest ride I've ever had. I had an adrenaline rush all day long. I know that at the end of the day, it's just a car, but WOW, what a car! I think the pic speaks for itself. I was just plain happy. Special thanks to Stu and crew at GTA Exotics for making some special arrangements that suited both of us, and made the rental very easy. I had one spotting of my own while seated in heaven. A red 308 passed by me and gave me the thumbs up at Bathurst and Atkinson. (Thornhill) Story of the day. In my first 5 minutes of possession, I got pulled over. I reached over to get my wallet for my license and stuff like that when the cop said to me, "Oh don't worry about that buddy, I just pulled you over so I can gawk at your car!" Well that was a relief since I knew I wasn't speeding. This was in Oshawa on Taunton Rd. Cops occasionaly see Ferrari's, but never a Lambo. The cop did ask if it was a kit. I sure corrected him on that. But the kicker came at the end of the "gawking" session. The cop asked me to do him a favour. I said ummmmm.......ok. "I'm going to stop traffic so you can get back into the lane and just hammer it" I said "are you serious?" He said, " you've got my blessing." So he stopped traffic for a few seconds, and told me to hit it, and I did. WHAT A RUSH!! In 5 seconds, I couldn't even see them in my rear view mirror anymore. I'm not going to go into all sorts of details about the ride since I know a lot on here have already done it and then some. But I will say this. Even though I knew I wasn't scared to drive the car, and thought I could even tame it, when I saw it sitting there knowing it was ready for me to take, I got intimidated by the bull. (just a bit) I did get a bit scared. (only a bit) And as the subject line says, that's exactly what I said when I got closer to it. So I let Stu drive it first so I could get oriented with the car. Then it was my turn to take the wheel. Vasco, you were definately right about that clutch. It was brutally stiff. But once about 30 seconds past, it was very easy to drive. I had dress shoes on and had to take off my right shoe in order to drive. I didn't realize the pedels are that close together. Pretty much F1 racing style. So there you have it. I've very sad that Stu sold the car, because I would do it again in the Summer. Oh well, he has a 355 Spider, and an '88 TR that I will consider in the coming months. Rick, if you are still interested and the glorious weather we are going to have this week, better call Stu up this week. You just might be able to do it before the car changes hands. Anyway, I'm calling it a day. Had a headache all day due to the drone of the very musical engine, and a sore back because of the seats. To everyone here, enjoy your rides!

Wow, seems like you had a great time. I wonder why . Yeah too bad he sold it. I didnt know he wanted to sell it until you mentionned it. It's the best thing he did. That car would not last. You give that car to the wrong guys and the clutch and engine are toast. They will put it into reverse instead of 1st by accident and that's all she wrote LOL. Told yah about the clutch......sorry, I forgot to mention you have to wear very tight little shoes to drive LOLLL. Glad you had fun and cool pic. Cheers, Vasco
Sounds like you had a truly memorable, amazing time! The bit about the cop is unbelievable! But only 1 pic??????????????
Lucas, I have to say that you have a great eye for finding interesting angles - I have always enjoyed your photographs...they are just getting better and better. Really, great job! Keep'm coming Anka
Spotted a very sweeet, unplated Red 348 Spider parked at a very reputable trim specialist uptown. Tom (TJacoby) that wouldnt have been your getting some final touches before it hits out West? I didnt get a glance at the interior but it may have been tan. Your's is nero correct? Nonetheless, a sweet car.
Black 88 328 GTS in my garage right now. Tan interior, one of the cleanest 328's I've seen in a long while..hummm possiable upgrade time?

Cool pics as usual dude. Glad you had fun. Is that Jet your dad's? Those E55's are so brute, 496 BHP! I bet it would give that jet a run for the money
Spotted a red 355 Spider stuck in traffic going into Toronto this morning while I was getting out of the downtown. I was at my old employer today again picking up some stock (World Fine Cars) and spotted the usual beasts! -1998 Dodge Viper GTS Blue with white stripes. Customers car (My fav if were talkin Vipers) -2004 Bentley Conti GT Super-Winter Beater. Clients car (This guy also has a Rossa 575 Maranello, a Murcie Spider on order, Maser Spider, Cayenne, had 2 previous 360 Spiders.) -2000 550 Maranello -1998 355 Spider Black -**** loads of Porsches as usual. -Tonnes of M3's (2 new style 2 94 Euo spec's) -blah blah blah Wish the Volvo I picked up today was as exciting *sigh* Vasco.R
Great pics Clyde. Look carfully at the pic I posted, and the pics you took. Notice the different wheels? At the auto show, roadster wheels were on the car. After the show, Stu changed back to the original '91 wheels. The roadster wheels in my opinion are much cooler then the originals. Vasco, yes, I think next time I'll have racing shoes on. It was pretty funny driving in my socks the whole day. And yes, Stu gave me a stern warning (in a very friendly way) about reverse and 1st gears. I kept it in mind all the time and had no problems with it. I'm curious as to why the 6.0 is harder to shift? I would think since it's 10 years newer, it would be easier. Andrew, I have other pics, but believe it or not, the pics that Clyde too during the auto show are better then the ones I took. I should've had had Lucas along as my navigator, and photographer. Gerrit, sorry I didn't see you anywhere. (saw your comment on another thread) I was mainly in the burbs and missed most of the action which usually takes place downtown. Us suburbanites need some eye candy now and again, and I supplied it. And thanks to all who passed along good wishes for "my event." It was just glorious !! All the best, Joel

Rayman very cool pics..... I had the coolest spot today... one my way driving up yonge street from the gardiner, what do i see in the little tunnel beside the union station??? Early model Yellow Lamborghini Diablo... sounded amazing in the tunnel as well... i gunned it with the 4 banger sentra and since he was taking a left on front street, i caught a long long stare as i pretty much stopped traffic for a whole light well worth it i'd say...man that guy is lucky.... i just couldnt believe the sound that V12 makes even when its just idling.. i could hear it from 10 car lengths away .... wow, all this typing for 1 car...
saw a an immaculate black 612 on avenue and St. Clair first time seeing on the road and beleive me it was beautiful
Blue Maser Spyder today driving along in my hood. (Second Maser Spiderone today I was at MVL Leasing and they have one there. As well as a new Viper, DB9 and loads of Porsches and blah blah blah) Cool Pics Rayman.
