    Alright, I'll do it. You're weird. That's the ugliest damn car I've ever seen. They had to be smoking crack at the design reviews.

    I forget what he said how you could drive it around legally. But it did have around 4,600 miles already on it. Yeah, I kind of like the shape of it also.

    This morning on I25 heading south, and south of the "snow belt" there was a Alloy Grey F360 which looked like it had a CH rear grill.

    A great 246, rosso rubino? on S. Boulder Rd. May have been driven by Ms. Helms.

    Last night the F40 from up North going up I-25 at 120th at 11PM. Great to see it being driven.

    A black F430 down Broadway in Boulder near Pearl. The sound it makes at 30mph is intoxicating. I followed it for a bit but I was only making myself drool.

    Not ferraris but:
    GT2 in 36 heading towards Superior.
    DB9 in 119 coming towards Boulder.
    Quattroporte in 36 heading towards Estes park.
    SL500 in Barnes & Nobels parking lot at Pearl & 36.

    Someday I'll own one of the cars that somebody will "spot." :D

    on my way to work this morning i was waiting to turn onto the diagonal hwy from 52 across from the IBM plant and as i looked up i couldn't believe my eyes: headed towards me two car lengths away was a TDF 575!! i was sitting near a railroad crossing and the driver got on the gas after crossing the tracks and it sounded so sweet-- must have had aftermarket pipes or at least had the butterflys wired open! it made my morning! ;)

    365 GTS/4 - June 17, 2006; Aspen - seen during the Food & Wine Festival. Is this a real Daytona Spider?? Colorado collector plates meaning it's a real Daytona - anyone know the story on this car? (whose it is, for instance?)
    456 - June 25, 2006; 2nd & Clayton, Denver
    550 Maranello - September 21, 2005; 2nd & Clayton, Denver

    Testarossa - July 22, 2006; 2nd & Clayton, Denver - Florida plates
    Testarossa - August 13, 2006; near Larimer & Speer

    Does anyone know anything about these Ferraris? Does anyone on here own any of them? I'd love to hear some backstories; taking pictures of exotic cars is my passion but I rarely find out anything interesting about the cars after the fact. Also, I know there are at least two Enzos in Colorado including at least one and most likely two in the Denver metro area - does anyone know where they're located? I know about the red one in Aspen, but I think there are two black ones in the Denver area. I'd kill to photograph an Enzo and have so far been unsuccessful in this pursuit. Anyone have any Denver Enzo details? (also, Veyron details? Is John Elway the owner of the Veyron in Denver?)

    Anyway - I hope you guys enjoy my pictures at the very least! I moved to Atlanta in August for college, leaving Denver possibly for an extended period of time. I come home for holidays, but I miss spotting cars in Denver! In Atlanta, everything has dubs, even the Ferraris...

    That is quite a first post! As for the questions there is only one black Enzo in Denver that I know of and the Veyron isn't owned by John Elway.

    Thanks!

    Do you have any idea who does own the Veyron? Based on circumstantial evidence I've attributed it to Elway, but I don't know anything for sure. It was sighted three weeks ago at the Broncos-Raiders game, and Elway was in the crowd as well. Plus, it was his Lamborghini dealer that sold the car, supposedly.

    There are certainly at least three Enzos in Colorado, two of which are black. This one on ExoticSpotter has Colorado plate 253-NED; this one has tag number 100-MTC, though the second one was photographed in Summit County, not Denver. There's also the red one in Aspen.

    I believe the owner of the Veyron lives in Evergreen and has many other great cars, including an Enzo, 2 Carrera GTs, 2 Saleens, numerous Lambos and Corvettes, if it is his, it is Richard Berry, he was in Celebrity Cars last year and has participated in the Players Run a couple of times.

    I don't know why but your "circumstantial evidence" is amusing :) The gentleman who owns the Veyron has a box at Mile-High and as mentioned before, it does not belong to Elway.

    I am surprised to see two black Enzos in the state, the first one pictured is often seen all around town as this person lives in the metro area and loves to excercise his collection quite frequently, he also owns a 612, F430 and Challenge Stradale. I can't read the plate number on the second one posted but I'll take your word for it that it is not the same car pictured, that doesn't surprise me because the owner of the first Enzo does not generally drive around with other Ferrari owners in tow...I'm not knocking him, just stating what I know of his driving tendencies :)

    The Daytona Spyder you saw in Aspen is also more than likely a real car, not a chop job as the owner of the red Enzo in Aspen also owns a Daytona Spyder. Thanks for all the pictures, btw.

    Is it Richard Berry's car? And if so - who is Richard Berry? Can you shed some light on this issue?! My friends and I have been trying to track down this car since the auto show, and any information would be a huge help.

    Speaking of Carrera GTs, I've seen three in Denver. One was silver with the tag UBERKAR, another was silver with the 1980s Arapahoe County designer plate F2A-119, and the last one was yellow with Arizona plates and produced this unbelievable photo:

    [​IMG]

    I do have pictures of the other two. Incredible about the 365 GTS/4. I've seen Carrera GT F2A-119 three times: once in February 2005, once in May 2006, and again in July 2006. It was also sighted downtown during the auto show. So - can anyone shed a bit more light on the Veyron/black Enzo issue?

    Hah - sorry if I come off as overly curious; I'm not a crazed car stalker. I don't even live in Denver anymore! But my friends and I have always wanted to see the famed "Denver Veyron," and at least one of the Enzos. I've just heard a lot of mis-information, and I'm trying to piece it all together. If I see a Veyron or Enzo in Atlanta, my current temporary residence, it won't be as meaningful as in Denver...

    The above is correct. Richard Berry does own a Veyron and a red Enzo. He is an heir to the Yellow Pages fortune. I have never seen him at local events but he can be spotted at national events like Pebble Beach and the like. I have never seen the Veyron but I have seen the Enzo, once.

    As stated above, his collection leans more towards Corvettes than Ferrari's.
