Silver Audi R8 Spider on Ervin road in Moorsville.
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!!!!! Stan

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! Deiger
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.
If you see a guy chasing after it trying to get pics, it's probably me lol. I will certainly keep an eye out for it!

Saw Ted in his little black beauty going south,smartly,quickly,on College Road yesterday and he was turning left at Monkey Junction..about 11:00 am..he got by before I could reach over and blow the horn..the tag did say Valenzo..Lynn and I were about to splash my new boat,in the f150 towing the Grady. We were going to gas up at go-gas,ethanol-free,and I wanted to yell to meet us there,but he got thru the light and we didn't. Ted,one of these days we'll meet up! PM me when you see this.. Cheers, RE

Red California with shields headed to Wrightsvilles beach. Please reach out to me. Trying to make database of cars here.
A little late on this one, but saw a white 458 Spider in Concord. Parked at the medical center and using two spots. Deiger
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.
