    Late last week i was heading to work in downtown Victoria, BC and as i was coming to a stop sign about to cross highway 1, i see a 360 going past me on the highway so i grab my phone as fast as i can and snaped a picture of it as fast as i could just as it passed infront. Now to see one ferrari in victoria is rare and i was quite satisfied, however this was not the end...
    The highway was clear and ready for me to drive through, however as i looked to the left i see another one waiting at the set of lights waiting to go! well i was suddenly in no rush to cross and got my phone out and waitied for his light to go green so i could get another picture. If only the driver behind me felt the same...
    I was introduced to the driver by a horn and various hand gestures basically signalling me to go through before the highway was blocked again but i simply waived back to the driver and turned back the ferrari with my phone. I didnt want the driver to take up any of my energy or to ruin this momentous event.
    The ferrari at the lights set off and i took the picture but then i saw another one following, and another, and another... For someone living in say california or somewhere where seeing this isnt very memorable, this wouldnt be very interesting im sure, however for someone like myself who see's one ferrari once in blue moon, this made my day.

    Again the pictures are from my phone so sorry about the quality...

    Ferrari Maserati of Vancouver is still open.

    Saw the same red 360 Modena in Victoria when I was there last week. Has after market wheels & challenge grill, driven by a young asian guy.

    I guess I'm just an 'old fart,' but "I reached for my phone to take a picture" always gives me a headache. I remember when phones were only capable of making and receiving telephone calls!

    I'm glad you got to see a parade of Ferraris to make your day a good one. I'm sure many people are in such a rush that they would not care what sights pass in front of them. Your viewpoint is more interesting since you allow unique situations to mean something special. Cool!

    The reason why you saw so many Ferraris one after the other was because this was a Ferrari club event held last weekend (driving tour)...
