    Didn't get a good look at the driver, but I kind of doubt it was yours. The color on the one I saw was BRIGHT blue...if you're familiar with what Aston calls "Flugplatz Blue," it was just a shade darker than that. Gorgeous car though, wish I could catch it and get some pics.[/QUOTE]

    Flugpatz Blue on a Vanquish is stunning - curious to see if it's that or something else. Looks like both of us will be trying to track it down now. Doubt my V8 can keep up with it in traffic though.

    I'm pretty good at telling Aston's models apart, but I only saw the side of it for a brief period of time as it flashed past Trader Joe's in Cary and couldn't tell. I know there's a V8 Vantage very similar to Flugplatz Blue in Cary, but I also recall there being a Vanquish in that color for sale at FCI. It isn't on their site anymore, so I assume it has been sold.

    I tried sooooo hard to catch up to it, but even with your car I'm not sure I would have made the light I got stopped at. Don't see too many Astons in the Triangle, so whenever I see one I usually try to chase it and get some pics!

    I saw it again. Thursday, it was parked at the Subway in Fort Jackson, South Carolina.

    I looked inside and saw that the car was filled with MODEL AIRPLANES!!
    I didn't have my phone or camera so I couldn't take a photo.

    Seems that this guy uses the car quite a bit.
    Is that legal? lol!!!!!

    That it did. You did a nice pull away from the light and then an immediate left turn. Even though I own one, still love to hear the sound. Just the kid in me I guess!

    Saw a black GranTurismo exit onto I-85 North off of I-485 in north Charlotte at about 8:30 yesterday morning. Also saw a red Lotus Exige that morning, it was on Poplar Tent Rd heading southeast at about 8:45.

    Today, saw a yellow Lamborghini Gallardo pull drive past the EpiCenter. It was a first gen with second gen tack ons, so I think it was a UGR twin turbo model. I was eating and only got a few pics out of the window though. Thought it was going to get valeted but it didn't.

    Another update of recent spottings:

    Saturday, Oct 18th, in Charlotte:
    - Grey Aston Martin V8 Vantage on Selwyn Ave near Colony Rd at about 10:15 that morning.
    - White Maserati Quattroporte (current model) at Sharon Rd and Morrison Blvd at around 11:00.
    - White BMW i8 at Whole Foods on Fairview Rd at 1:30. As I was taking pics of it, a black Rolls Royce Ghost pulled into the parking lot a minute or two later, and a few minutes after that a white Rolls Royce Ghost drove past on Fairview Rd.
    - Black Maserati GranTurismo Sport pulled into the Southpark Mall at about 2:00. There was also a dark blue 1930's Dodge Brothers model from CA in the valet.
    - Black Maserati GranCabrio pulled into the shopping area right next to the mall at 2:55.
    - Matte silver Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe (brand spankin' new!) parked behind Baku at 3:30.
    - White Maserati GranTurismo drove through the Sharon Rd/Fairview Rd intersection at 3:45. Saw it at the mall 30 minutes later, it had been valeted along with a silver Bentley Continental GTC, the 1930's model Dodge Brothers, and an orange hot rod.
    - Black Maserati GranCabrio from FCI drove past the mall at around 4:30.
    - Silver Fisker Karma drove through the Sharon Rd/Fairview Rd intersection at 5:30.
    - Matte black Nissan GT-R in Phillips Place at 8:30. I think it was a Black Edition.

    Can't believe I was in Southpark most of the day and didn't see any Ferrari's.

    Monday, Oct 21st, near Lake Norman:
    - Grey Maserati Quattroporte across the street from Birkdale Commons at 11:10.

    Silver Underground Racing first gen Lamborghini Gallardo passed me on 77 at about 11:45 earlier today. Exited onto Tyvola so I'm guessing he was going to UGR.
