White Countach with all the wings???? Now THAT is cool. I just saw my dream car in Toronto too! Red Countach on the highway.

But a white Countach??? WOW

Hello, Miami Vice called ...............and they want their drug runner car back!

;-)

 

Yesterday:

Red 348 northbound on the Lions Gate bridge.
Grigio Alloy with Tan interior 360 spider on Georgia st
Blue 456M GT with plates "456 GT" parked in front of the Wedgewood hotel

 

Yes, I know there used to be one at Corvette Specialities in Surrey.

 

yeah that 456gt is from richmond I think he has 19" chrome hres on it

 

It was parked on Granville St. at 4 today. It's the first that I've ever seen the 456 up close and I can safely say that pictures do not justice for the car--it's understated beauty at its best; I remember reading here that Sergio Pininfarina's favorite car is the 456, I finally understand why!

 

Yesterday:

Pozzi Blue 550 Maranello with Tubi on hornby at Robson. Delicious exhaust note!

 

Is it for sale?

 

As mentioned by Leviathan, it was that beautiful Blue/Blue carb'd QV at Corvette Specialties. It's since been sold long time ago...

The Italian Centre show, yes, I was there with my GT4 (parked beside the white Lambo Espada). Its on again this year and I'll again be there...

 

black/black 328GTB is for sale - I think it's $55k CDA asking. PM for more details. Lots of recent service.

 

Not a ferrari but at 12:55 on Graville and 33rd I saw a Red BMW M1, yes an M1. And only 450 of them were made from 78-81. Anyone else seen it around town. Is he a local? And the car looked stunning..

 

Thats funny! On another board someone was talking about how excited they were to pick up their orange Gallardo from Weissach that afternoon.

 

Today

Anthracite Lamborghini Murcielago parked on Robson across from Cactus Club restaurant just after lunch time!

Impressive and damn that car is LOW!

 

They are super low and wide, when I went to Weissach and checked out the red one they got, I was impressed..

 

12:40 outside Weissah on Burrard St.

Silver BMW Z8

12:55 on Graville and 35th

Silver Ferrari 360 Modena with Nero Interior.

Now I don't want to sound like I'm putting down women but the driver was a female. As rare as it is to see these cars around it is so much more rare to see a female driver. She looked pretty cooled and looked to be in her early 30's.

 

I know her.....she very nice.....you gotta admit it looks really cool

 

Her car actually has a light grey interior and yes, she's a very nice woman!

 

cool, you guys gotta introduce me, I want a ride in that beast...

 

on canada.com I read that it was a silver lambo, they don't say if it was murc or diablo, I know weissach sold a grey/silver murc.

 

Damnit, I hate reading about s--- like this. Makes the rest of us who are more mature with our cars look bad. I suppose this was a case of more-money-than-brains...

 

sure is, but we don't know what the entire situation was about, could be that the lambo was trying to get away from someone that wanted to race and made it seem like they are racing. Probably not the case but I haven't heard about the lambo owner having any charges filled against them. There is a lot of people who want to show exotic owners that they are better by trying to race them and the exotic owner just dosen't want to be in such a situtation, hopefully we'll find out. I doubt I'll ever get in any problems like that with my bleak future of no nice cars (aka I'm poor).

 

An update on the storey. I just heard that someone actually has a video tape of the 2 cars racing, man this **** is gonna hit the fan fast. I'll get the video on here when I can my hands on it.. looks like I need to retract my statement about the innocense of the lambo driver...I'll post more when I hear more about it..

 

Well the video is of a Brand new 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo in Silver.

 

Well last update on the entire subject as I just finished watching a good clip on it. The video shows the lambo speeding through the streets without much care, and they even have video of the silver gallardo turning left with with the white eagle talon in front of the gallardo. So it is definatley gonna go down as they say that they will be able to pull the plates off the video once they are done and the owner is gonna be owned...
