    Black 355 Spider heading north on Hammond Road right past Perimeter Mall right at 7:00 pm. Solo driver with what looked like a shaved head. Loud exhaust note - Tubi, Capristo, perhaps? Couldn't catch the plates though.

    Anyone here ?

    Carb,

    I've only had half a dozen sightings around the Dunwoody area in a number of *years*. Two of them just happened to be within the past six months (and mentioned on this forum). Both times, I heard them before I saw them. Both coincidentally happened to be black 355s - one spider and one Berlinetta.

    i saw a 308 right before i left for California on 400 North; then, that same day, i saw a 328 that pulled into Ferrari of Atlanta... Other than that, i haven't seen anything else, save an NSX right on 78 in Gwinnett and a Lotus about half a mile from there...

    As I've said before, in the 5-1/2 months I've been driving around greater Marietta, I have not seen any other F-cars!

    Carbon, with my job I am driving almost every day, so my odds are better than if I was in an office all day.

    saw a red 360 syper on the back of a flat bed towtruck going down Holcomb Bridge Road last Friday. Coming home from the Petit that same day I followed a black 355 coupe down 85 south at about 90mph in a convertible M-3. And one of my customers friends had his yellow 355 spyder at the Petit where I had one of my Gallardos!

    I saw the 355 spyder - he was parked at the skidpad for awhile.

    Was the Gallardo orange? That was the only Lamborghini I saw in the infield.

    Chris,

    the black F355B coming back from Petit Lemans on Friday was me. Too bad there was so much traffic. Was a beautiful day for a cruise. Incidentally, as you went by and I gave you the horn (at the Indian Trail exit), a big old tin can came bouncing across 85 and did a nice little number on my hood. Paint is all torn up.
    Sometime I'll stop by your store. Only a mile away from my house.

    I saw a Rosso Fiorano Modena Spider in Athens traveling down Atlanta Highway. I turned around and followed it for a little while. It had Clarke County plates and turn into Jennings Mill? Anyone know him? Great looking car.

    Red 360 F1 w/ Red Calipers & Tubi in Buford @ South Lee St. and GA 20. This was at 2:30 today (Oct 12) in light rain.

    You don't see too many Ferraris in the rain. I wonder if he planned it that way. Does anyone remember the rain at the Frank's church show three years ago? My eat-off-the-tires 328 was covered in mud from Windward Pkwy construction and was never the same again.

    Friend sent me this pic he took with his camera phone of a Jaguar XJ220 next to Riverwood HS (forget the name of the roads at the intersection). Quite a rare site, even has the euro tags still on it, crazy! He lives up the road there about 1/4 mile on the right in a private estate.

    Driving down Holcomb Bridge yesterday afternoon, I saw a light metallic blue 360 spider and a also on Holcomb within an hour, a british racing green 550 maranello with the optional factory rims. Very good day, and to top it off I saw a brand new Lotus Elise (yellow) parked at Krogers (no tag) on Holcomb and I went to look at it and there was a little smoke coming from the hot exhaust. The smell of new metal getting a work out, it was certainly a good day.
