Spotter's thread

hopefully that is just purple stickers.

 

360 Challenge on a Flatbead Wrecker on US90 heading EBB towards they Huey P Long bridge. Possibly it was leaving NOLA Raceway. IDK

 

Funny coincidence... I saw that very same Lambo today. I'm pretty sure I live right down the street from the owner. I've seen it driving down my street a couple times now.

 

Sick and not necessarily in a good way....

 

Saw a black 458 right off of oak street uptown

 

Black 430 on I-10 eastbound near the airport yesterday evening.

 

A pearl white Murcielago was parked in front of some clothing shop on Boston St. in Covington for most of yesterday.

 

Apparently, the owner of these beasts had a tough run in with Johnny law this weekend.

On Old Spanish Trail in Slidell yesterday mid-afternoon...red 360 with black wheels.

On I-10 just east of Baton Rouge late morning today...red 458.

 

OK- here's a challenge that i took a pic of yesterday.

New car- owner has had it for two weeks.
He states there is only two in the US.
Not a kit car.
Red bow on the grill is not a factory option.

Would be easier to identify if you had a closer view of the badge.

Any hints?

 

OK- i'll give a hint.

They are only making 100 of them and it has a body by Zagato.

 

Wikipedia says it's a Perana from South Africa

Wow; new one to me.

 

yup you all figured it out.

Car looked and sounded good.

 

This has been running around Mandeville recently. First one I've seen and I have to say it's much much much better looking in person than in pictures. I did not take the picture.

I'm guessing that it's someone's on this board and if so I'd like to say nice steed fine sir.

Can't wait to spot that myself!

 

I believe this Diablo is the one occasionally spotted in BR and the Satsuma exit strip mall, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lamborghini-Diablo-VT-6-0-Coupe-2-Door-2001-Lamborghini-Diablo-6-0-V-12-Mario-Andretti-signed-Chance-/130828785802?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item1e7600d88a#ht_500wt_1182.

Is the seller, aventador4, on FChat? If so, they should take a look at this thread regarding a Maserati that they also have listed, http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=393850.

 

I know the owner. He was the local contact for Superformance.

 

The shop in Chalmette before Katrina?

The was a Superformance GT40 and Cobra a few months ago at one of the Cars & Coffee gatherings; same guy?

Tonight, black NSX with Alabama plates on I-10 East near the high-rise. Those cars have aged very well IMHO.

Great video, "The Caretaker", and I noticed the 250 SWB has a LA inspection sticker; anyone know the car?

Yes. He has a black GT 40 and the Cobra. The Perana is Corvette powered.

 

I-610 West in NOLA late this afternoon...red 360 Challenge Stradale on a flatbed...headed to Lindsey's I assume.

Blow outs are not friendly

 

I see what you mean...Alabama hat on the tow truck driver? Could have been worse...he could have had a cowbell.

Hotty Toddy!

 

Well true to both fan bases his front teeth were no mas
