    I saw a yellow 16M with black stripe in Daly City near Serramonte at Koi Palace restaurant. It was very loud! The driver gave a nice rev as he pulled slowly into the parking lot. Not sure if it has stock or aftermarket exhaust, but if that's what the Scuderia stock exhaust sounds like, then I should begin my hunt for a Scud and abandon my search for a F430!

    Mpodgor - Nice car! Sometimes I have brunch on the weekends at Al Forno in Burlingame. I normally see a lot of nice cars there, especially when it's nice out.

    This will sound stupid but was very strange.

    Was heading south on 101 through Palo Alto on Monday morning. I was listening to a guns & roses CD (use your illusion II). Decided to change music styles and stuck in an Andrea Bocelli CD (yes, my Lotus doesn't have ipod / iphone integration - I'm still juggling CDs *sigh*).

    Bocelli starts singing (Mea Culpa I think) and the car is filled with Italian music. I've got it cranked up so I can hear it (cabin noise is nuts in that car). The instant he starts singing this truck moves out of the way next to me and uncovers a red F430 spider with shields cruising along down the highway 30 feet from me. Distinctive Ferrari exhaust sound suddenly audible through the warring Italian music and Lotus buzzy cabin noise. It was so 'on cue' it was bizarre. I crawl past it (my lane is going faster and the Ferrari is stuck behind some semi). Then the 430 spider vanishes - I'm just doing 50mph with the rest of morning traffic but I never see red car again in my mirrors, etc. Must have taken the next exit. ? Spider had its black fabric roof on.

    Anyway ... was such a strange coincidence (turn on italian music and suddenly a 430 shows up out of nowhere).

    Was that a black 458 Spider parked on the side of the road in front of the motorcycles when you were filming the red 360??? I thought there weren't any in the U.S., but I don't think it had U.S. plates....

    Edit: Just saw your reply on the youtube video. Thanks.

    White Aventador in Walnut Creek last night! Didn't realize customers had taken delivery already? Had BMC tags. The owner pulled away from Piatti and the car was shocked to hear how quiet it was. Mean looking car though!

    One of the best exotic random sighting ever:

    Two 458's (yellow and white)
    Two or Three 430, One Scud
    One LP670 SV

    Sighted North bound on Skyline doubling speed limit near Woodside.

    Then, pulled into a supermarket and a Grigio Alloy 360.

    If anyone is from this pack, PM me.

    On Highway 9 out of Saratoga headed up to Skyline following a grey California at distance and had a two tone (red/black) 430 coming down the hill. The California pulled into the lot at the top and we continued on in a yellow 348.
