The Alberta Thread!

Amen man!!

Spots..... Orange Murci with the yellow 360 Spider together this morning by Nellie's on 17th, followed by a red 355 Berlinetta a few seconds later... Not bad for a long weekend Sunday here.

 

Surprsingly a very nice Black Maserati coupe out at the flying club today.

 

Blue Maserati Spyder at Earls in westhills.

 

Maroon Aston DB7 Volante on 14 st. heading North.

 

Yellow 360 Spider heading to Calgary on the #1 in Canmore.

 

Saw some pretty good cars today. A nice Champange color XK convert. in front of my orthodontists office. Also a nice yellow 328 and red Mondial convertible. woo.

What's with the Ferraris (looks like 2 of 'em) in the cheapo auto sales lot?

 

Those are what you'd call 20/20 cars............they look good at 20 feet and 20 kmh.

Trust me......my shop is about 5 blocks away and I have been driving past them for almost two years now......with for sale signs in them all that time.

 

Nice Grey with no stripes Ford GT on highway 8 tonight.

 

Nice darkish grey F430 Spider just off of 14th street sw in front of some sort of bar. Had a kulu motorcar sticker on the front window.

 

Yup, looked like this:

Go SLR if the price tag doesn't bug you.

They're pretty rare cars. I've heard there are (or gonna be) +200 Ford GTs in Canada...

 

Dude, tell me your not gonna sell your whip to get into that Ford bro? ThaT **** JuSt AinT GoNnA hApPeN! WeRd

 

If you want to be the "man", ask for the new "722" edition of the SLR.

 

WORD.

I bet it's gonna be +$700K Canadian here...

 

We were drooling over that car last night. Soooo sexy.

 

Brim.......

IMHO the Ford GT will be a much better car in every respect, both in the short and long term, than the butt ugly (I've seen the black one that was in Lone Star's showroom and went away "unsold" and the silver one which was delivered new here in Calgary) and hideously overpriced SLR.....buy an SL65 and a Ford GT instead if you must have both (I know you've had the SL55)........heh.........and "save your money" !! With apologies to ING.

I saw the same GT that Dino did outside Chinook Mall a couple of weeks ago as well........very understated in gray metallic I must say.

Make mine blue with white stripes though.

PS...note to self...change avatar and signature again.

 

Werd.

 

I'd almost agree with you there. But I don't see how you can cross-shop an SLR and a GT. They're completely different cars.

I'd recommend Kds' solution of getting both a GT and an SL65 (then get the limiter removed, obviously). Have fun!

 

You can do that?

Brim. If you get the Ford GT. See if you can get the Heritage Edition. Its pretty much like the original Gulf color scheme the original GT40 race car was painted in. I have seen this car..he drives down 17th once and a while. (Photo not taken by me, but taken from Beyond.ca) I nearly fainted. This is the way to go if you buy a GT.

Sorry they are links..the pictures wouldnt resize. Now off to the mini doughnut stand.

 

Brim. It also appears who ever told you that lied to you. This is the exact car I saw the other night. No lie. Grey no stripes.
