    My wife and I spent part of our honeymoon at the Ritz Carlton in Montreal many years ago. We were driving an Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV and she brought her own pillow along. The bellhop saw that and crooned "send me the pillow that you dream on".

    I still stay there whenever I'm in Montreal on business. Maybe one of these days I'll get up there for the GP.

    That Veyron lineup is unbelievable. I am not a Veyron fan but even that sight would bring a tear to my eye.

    The Veyrons look like the ones that were parked on Peel St during the Grand Prix weekend 2 weeks ago. Another great year in Montreal.

    Saw one very yellow Dino 206 Competizione in Tarrytown this morning going up the hill past the hs. Took me a moment to recognize it. Incredible to see it out though!

    I saw red Dino this morning on the Merritt Parkway near North Street heading north. There was a yellow 458 Spider out in front of Miller this morning too. Oh and a nice red Ruff 911 turbo from the 80's down by the water in Stamford.

    Here's a car more rare than much of the stuff posted on this thread: yesterday on the side of route 80 going towards the Poconos, a broken down red Sterling 827 sedan...haven't seen one of those in years!

    Ah, yes, the Sterling, providing the unique combination of Japanese econobox design and British reliability that no one was really asking for!

    Which is why most probably didn't last beyond the car loan payments :) The engine/tranny were Acura Legend- a great combo in the day- the electrical system? Well, lets just hang our head in mourning...I actually thought the concept was a good idea when the car first came out, but alas I was a young man not well versed in the evils of the Lucas Prince of Darkness philosopy of English automotive electrical systems :)

    Napolis, seeing your car driving on the street would have been a treat for me!
