    I was checking up on a job site when I heard an exhaust that sounded familiar to my NSX's, I turned around and there were 3 NSX's(2 red, 1 black) and 2 360's(1 red, 1 tdf blue) crusing down San Felipe towards the Galleria.

    I have a question about the street Troon. My friend and I went over there yesterday to see if MAYBE the Enzo was out, unfortunately it wasnt. Anyway, Troon seems to break up, does it carry over to any other part of River Oaks, or is it just that one street as soon as you enter River Oaks? I saw a few houses that were gated on that street, if my memory serves me correct. What does this house look like (the one with the Enzo)? I'd love to actually be able to see an Enzo in person. Plus, does anyone know where I can see a Murci?

    You are lost. Have you read much of this thread?

    Hey! I just saw a yellow 360 Modena in my front yard!! Man, I thought you guys had taken up a collection for me! I was overwhelmed, I wanted to thank the Academy, and all Fchatters for making this dream come true!

    And then the as____ ran it back up the ramp, of the interstate transporter.
    They were just shuffling the cars! I offered to trade him even up for the World's Fastest Art Car, but since the Modena didn't have handprints, he was afraid some one might notice! Last I saw it, it was Florida bound.

    "Well, I don't wear no Stetson, but I'll be willing to bet, son...
    That I'm a bigger TEXAN, than you are!"

    Sounds like a fair exchange to me Speedy, did you tell him that the world's fastest art car has been published?

    Actually, the aluminum 328 is now at Willhoit Enterprises in Springfield, MO.
    That is where I purchased my 308GTB. There has not been much interest and sadly it looks like the interior is headed for a re-dye. I have contact info if anyone is interested.

    No Will , I couldn't convince the transport driver of The Art Car's notoriety, although I did forget to point out that it had recently travelled Allen Parkway
    WITHOUT crashing into a tree. ;)

    Black Ferrari Spyder in my neighborhood (Silverlake) at CR90/Morgan at around 5:30 PM. Anyone from here?

    Was planning on driving the 308 tomorrow, and it's a definite now. Needed a tow from Clear Lake for the Saturn. Think it's a busted shifter cable. Guess I know what I'll be doing this weekend. Bought AAA for the 308 and twice in the last year I've needed it for the other car. So if you spot a burgundy 308GTB this week, it's probably me.

    HA.

    Interior re-dye? Is that being done locally? I've been needing to find a local upholstery shop to do a real simple job for me. InnerLoop area is best if anyone knows of one.

    Veteran's Trim on Lubbock does all the cool old Jags. They used to do all my convertible tops, back in the day.

    Got the chance to see and hear Dr. Murphy's Stradale yesterday on my way to dinner. Friends and I stopped by his house to talk to his son and he was pulling out of the driveway.

    Beautiful car, Dr.!!

    I also saw a red 360 Spider that day at Westheimer and 610 about 11:30 am. I didn't get a glimpse of the grille but it was probably the same car.

    Spotted Red 360 spyder and black Porsche Gt2 on Westheimer and Bering last night. They both raced from the light, Gt2 wasted him.

    Most likely my friend Kareem. That's his car, and he's part owner of Elite exotic rental car right by the galleria.

    We saw his car today also at the same starbucks, parked in the back.

    Anyway, saw most likely the same 360 spyder, red w/challenge grille, flying down Westheimer again going past Post Oak and Sage away from the Galleria, towards Beltway 8.

    Earlier in the afternoon about (4:30 pm), I spotted a slate grey Porsche Gt2, with roll cage in the back. Hot car.

    Houston has definitely been moving up.....I see at least one Ferrari on the road everyday.

    Saw a 512bb at The Houston City Club today, red/tan.

    Also saw a platnium/goldish 456 in my neighborhood here in Sugarland.

    Nice.

    Saw a black Gallardo pulling out of River Oaks Blvd onto Westheimer. Maybe he was going to wash it because it was really dirty.

    Not far behind him was a white NSX, of whom the driver eyed my beautiful red NSX.

    I wish I could say I see one a day. Well, I guess I do, but I dont think driving by FofH on the way to work counts :)

    I think that counts as twice a day, but you can't see as well from the NB side!
