    Hey, I might have seen you there! Were you the one with the Nikon SLR? If yes, hi! Oh by the way, do you know Lane with the brown 308GTB? Where is he? Lost touch with him after the H-D dealership weekend car show stopped.

    I saw a magnificent black Ferrari 550 there, that I hadn't seen for 4 years. Last time I saw this car was about 4 years ago at Oak Hill. The memory of its Cargraphic exhaust note was permanently imprinted in my brain... it was as if I had seen that car only a day before that. I spoke a few words with the owner... recalling my memory of the car. Really nice guy, apparently named "SW" ?? ... some kind of celebrity, every seemed to know him. Hi SW, if you're on here! Pleasure seeing you after a while. Actually now that I think about it, I think he's come there a couple of times in a Lexus SC300... same gentleman?

    Hope to swing by again next weekend. I normally drive a gray E39 M5, but last weekend I was in a loaner black 330i. No Ferrari, though... yet ;)

    Edit I'm the fat guy in the white shirt ogling the 550 (your pic from the spotters page):

    Mike, what is the location of this, I never knew. How come you didn't tell me? :-(.

    Sorry, this was the first time I ever attended. The Ferrari guys don't usually go.

    Parmer & 1431, in front of the Home Depot, right next to the HEB on the corner.

    Yeah, I remember seeing you. Yes, SW or Streetking is quite the celebrity. Been in many magazines and probably on TV as well. He is a member on here under the name Streetking. Everyone butchers his real name, so we all just call him SW. Yes, his daily driver is a 600hp Lexus SC. He also had a black 850hp Lexus SC. He is really a great guy and a true automotive enthusiast. He just bought the 550 back from someone he sold it to about a year ago.
    Here are some photos I took of his stable, but these aren't even close to all the cars he has. http://texasmike.fotki.com/automotive-1/automotive_photo_shoots/sws_stable/

    Sorry, don't know anyone with a brown 308.

    Wow... those are some well shot pics of a mind boggling garage.
    Did you bring your F-car to the meet... which one was yours? I remember seeing a red 308 there one time, but not last weekend.

    Thanks for the compliment!
    Sorry, no Ferrari for me yet. I'll try to bring out one of my friend's Ferraris sometime though. Still saving for mine. It's a long ways away right now.

    Nice meeting you this past weekend, Mike!
    Obviously made my way to your Fotki album for the July 15 pix... but saw that the album was restricted.

    Just as I was leaving I saw a red Maranello pull in; so I finished my errands and got back for a few seconds... hope you got that car on camera.

    It was good to meet you too!

    I wasn't done uploading the pics yet. They will be accessible shortly. I actually didn't photograph the 550 or the Diablo SE30, but I have lots of photos of both of those cars in my gallery already. Check the Lambo and Ferrari sections.
    After SW arrived in his Camaro I kind of stopped taking photos and was just focusing on what kind of reaction the Camaro got. It really was amazing! A lot more people were checking out the Camaro, compared to the Ferrari. I was also helping to guard the Lambo and the Camaro while SW and John walked around, so I was just watching everyone else like a hawk.

    I was experimenting with panning shots of cars driving by and I accidentally left the camera in that mode for some other shots as well. so many of the shots are messed up. I didn't post a bunch of photos because I messed them up so bad. Some of my other photos were taken with the auto mode. I was swapping between a 18-55mm and a 55-200mm.

    I would love to see your photos. Do you have an online gallery? You can get one for free.

    Alright... I got the idea from Mike and got myself a free Fotki album. It's pretty easy to use especially with Picajet to ease the upload process.

    Here's the link to past weekend's car show at Cedar Park. Images have been resized cropped and punched up. Enjoy:

    Indeed it is a 500E. The owner has kept it in great shape and it had 65K miles on the odo.
