    Ya, it's something that there's a Veyron strolling around Dallas. What I find more interesting though is that he's in "top speed" mode.

    Drove past yesterday and there were Vipers the TR was sitting behind them does not look in that great a shape.

    Thursday's a work day, directly across Lemmon from the lot. I'll take a break and walk over for a closer look at the TR.

    Could have been heading for the north end of the tollway, towards 380 I think, awesome stretch of pavement up that way...

    Agree...mere "exotic" doesn't do it justice...my 308's an exotic. The Veyron is more of a land going spaceship.

    Sure, will post whatever I find out.

    White Arnage T on Town East at 635 last night around 5. Coral Flying Spur at lunch on Ridge Rd @ i-30 in Rockwall today. Not exotics as we have mentioned, but rarities out here, and never seen a Coral Flying Spur before. Thought it was an Arnage color...

    I know the new Maserati GranTurismo is not an ultra exotic car, but I think it's worth calling the spot when completely by chance, it's parked about 30 feet away from a previous gen Maserati GranSport!

    Rob, was the GT still there when you left 'dinks?

    Driving on Foch in a sports car? Most likely not a smooth ride.

    Today, at the intersection of 635 and MacArthur, I saw the arse end of a dark grey car turning right about 100 yards ahead of me - It was unmistakeably a Lamborghini, with the basic shape of a Murcielago, but the tail lens treatment was nothing like I had ever seen. The intake vent flappy gill-type things were in the open position, and something was just, DIFFERENT! It was gone down a steep hill before I could get a closer look.

    I thought maybe I had spied a Reventon, but upon reviewing lots of pictures, and given the HIGHLY unlikelihood that it was one of 20 Reventons made, I think what I saw was an LP640 Roadster.

    Well, you say an LP640 Roadster... did you see a soft top? If so it DEFINITELY wasn't a Reventon

    I didn't notice a soft top, it could have been rolling top down.

    I did see all the crazy rear decklid polygonic shapes that I now see belong to the LP640 Roadster, as well the taillight treatment matches more closely to the LP640 than the Reventon pics I see.

    It's funny that there used to be a Panoz dealership in Plano (there may still be), but I've only seen a Panoz in this area one time.

    Silver Gallardo around Greenville and Prospect last night. Looked better than most Gallardos for some reason, but I have no idea why.

    Silver V10 M5 with a front lip, had some 345's on the back and the main reason I think it deserves to be in here...had some dymags on it. I'd have pics but didn't have a camera on me, just the blackberry.

    That TR seems to come and go...it was on the lot Monday, missed it Thursday and today.

    I appreciate the compliment on the 308...a great car, I'm very happy with it.
