    Does he still have his house in Brady Island in Madisonville? I used to see some of his cars over here, mostly at copelands, but haven't in a long time.

    That's a great story! I was in Hammond a while back and Copeland's Continental GT was parked there. One of the employees at the airport was very proud because he said Copeland occasionally let him drive the car. :)

    There was a MB CLS and new S parked head to head behind St. somethings at LSU. Dalrymple and Highland.

    The new S class w221 is really growing on me. I don't care for the tail lights. I think they should have been left to the Maybach. From what I've seen online the new C is going to have those lights too.

    My favorite is still the w140 because it was such a good car but the w220 is gorgeous.

    I talked with a guy last week off loading a Black 1981 308 at a shop by my office (Pepsi St. in Elmwood) to have the belts looked at. He just bought it this past December for $40K with 10Kmi on it. He drove it back from S.C. and it now lives, I think on the west bank. I had one drive down my street around January but I forgot to ask him if it was his.

    Nice site, I just found you guys. Are there any other GTG’s besides the FQC?
    I had a very short but fun race with someone in a red 348 Spider on I-10 before Kenner coming back from the FQC. They instigated the race and seemed to enjoy it as much as my wife and I.

    ** I saw which could have been this same car on I-20 Eastbound about 2 weeks ago, I think it was a Saturday afternoon, but I could be mistaken. They could have gone to I-49 and taken that to I-10 in Lafayette, LA. And headed East again towards New Orleans.

    Today I was heading down O'Neal Ln. and saw a yellow car heading towards me. It was a Lamborghini Murcielago heading in the opposite direction. I turned the car around and tried to catch up with it only to find it entering the interstate. I had no hopes of catching so I went down to the Hobby Lobby parking lot and turned around. After turning around I saw a yellow Viper that stayed right behind me until it entered the interstate as well.

    Around Hammond there is a F-Car (355 F1). In Baton Rouge there are a lot. There are two murcielagos, one titanium and one pearl yellow. There is at least one gallardo in pearl yellow. There is a silver diablo, but i havent seen it recently, and a black diablo roadster that had Georgia plates. Mainly there are Lamborghini's here (BR) but there are a LOT of rare sports cars.

    I know there is a red F355F1 that is often parked on Thomas St., near the Aveda Spa and a yellow Elise I often see parked outside of Tase of Bravaria on Saturday mornings. In addition I often see quite a few heading out of Ponchatoula, toward river road. Aside from that most of what I see are Porsches and classics. What really has my intrest peaked is the house being built right off of Wagner and Hoffman, near Bon Aire. It has an attached 4 car garage and a seperate 3 car. Hopefully it's somebody with a nice car collection.
