    I need to get you some Santa Barbara Cars & Coffee cards to pass out to all the cool cars you see. We don't live that far from each other but you seem to always find the cool ones. Well done!

    Spotted this pair of Ford GTs on PCH in Redondo earlier today - sounded awesome. Then about 2 minutes later, spotted a black 458 (not quick enough with the camera). A few mins after that, this Maser. Must have been some kind of car event nearby, I don't usually see this many exotics at once.

    I've seen a lot of that orange Maser lately screaming up and down PCH right in that area. Might have seen one of those GT's recently too.

    Black MP4-12C heading N on the 405 (OC) about 3ish. Hung with him for a little while. First one I've seen and liked it more than I thought I would. Looks great in the wild. Sounded nice and moved nicer.

    An Aston DBS was not too far behind.

    A red California earlier when I was heading down. It was northbound.

    Black 12C is more than likely the prototype that McLaren Newport Beach have in their possession again. Here's a great shot of it.

    I did spot it from about Costa Mesa onward, but from my cam-phone pic it looks as if this one had black calipers. It did have dealier tags/frame on it.

    It was pulling out of the Union 76 Station, just about to pass the golden globes. Just wondering if it belonged to anybody on the board.

    Dark red/burgundy MP4-12C in Riviera Village, Redondo Beach. He parked for a minute, but took off before I could get to it for a closer look. Sounded great. I still like it; I think it likes me too.

    those guys have a great collection; anyone rented one? curious as to condition.

    I rented a C-class from them (loaner from my Porsche dealer technically), I had a good experience with them even though the car itself wasn't very nice.
