    Yesterday I spotted a dark blue Maserati coupe (or maybe it was a Gransport) on South Lamar near Jesse James' South Austin Speed Shop.

    Then I spotted that same black Bentley CGTC on 9th near Congress.

    Today I spotted a slightly older black & tan convertible Bentley. I think it was an Arnage or something like that. It had lots of chrome around the headlights and all around the grill. The chrome actually came up on the front edge of the hood.

    I would have told you pretty much the same thing as David did. Feel free to PM either of us once you sign up and we will expedite the process. I look forward to meeting you and seeing your car.

    Also, PM me if you want to do a little photo shoot of your car in a more scenic setting than a coffee shop parking lot.

    Yesterday I spotted an olive green Aston Martin right in front of Sandra Bullock's restaurant. I think it was either a DB9 or a Vanquish, but I didn't get a very good look at it.

    Today I spotted a black Aston Martin DBS coupe at 3rd & Congress. According to the Aston dealer, this was the New York Auto Show car that was on display.

    Another one of my friends posted up a picture of an orange LP640, not sure where, I think it's in San Marcos though.

    Today I spotted a rosso corsa over tan Ferrari California at Guadalupe & 15th. It had red calipers, shields & the optional slit-spoke wheels (whatever the heck they are called).

    Today I spotted a Rosso Corsa/Rosso Enzo at the Ferrari dealership. It was in the front service bay so I'm not sure if was for sale or in for service. I also spotted a Rosso Corsa Dino 246gts, a Rosso Corsa 308 GTSi, & a yellow Testarossa in the rear.

    Today I spotted a black Lamborghini Gallardo (not sure which generation) heading south on Mopac.

    Then I spotted a Super Silver Nissan GT-R at Mopac & Braker.

    Thanks for the informative reply. Looks like a really cool & fun lil' ride to be in. I imagine the experience of a ride as a passenger, let alone being the driver, would be truly great.

    20" Diamond Finish Sport Wheel to be precise :D

    Those above pics are amazing. I still have yet to see an Enzo on the street or a red one.

    I heard a rumor that someone in town bought a second Enzo. I have no idea if it's true or not...

    I sure as hell hope it's true.

    Do you know if the rumor states a color? :)

    I've only seen a black one, so my color palatte is open for options :D

    Well the 3 that I've seen here in town are all red but I'm not sure what color this new rumored one is supposed to be. I wish we had a black one here!

    I've seen a silver one a few years ago, it used to drive down McNeil Road, I saw it often when I went to lunch my senior year in high school.

    I know personally of (3) in town and all are Rosso Corsa. However, I heard the name of a 4th Enzo owner only last week. First name starts with letters "Ja" not "Jo" like one of the three.

    My mom told me that she was somewhere near Mesa & 360 and saw a black car that she didn't recognize. My mom has been around quite a few exotics & said it was sometime that she had never seen before & it had two big humps in the rear & it was loud. She told her friend to speed up so she could get a better look but her friend refused to. I showed her several photos & the only thing that she said look like it was a Bugatti Veyron. She seems pretty confident that it was an all black Veyron. I know that a fellow FChatter was considering buying one but I have no idea if he ever did. Has anyone seen a Veyron here or heard any talk about one?
