    Black 328 on E. Lk. Sammamish, Westbound on 520, North on 405. Very nice looking. I've always thought the 328's were great looking models. I did notice an interesting odor when following it though, kind of strange. An obvious F1 fan too!

    Today, I spotted my own 360 going down the road without me in it! Does that count? Seriously, the mechanic was just taking it for a test drive after oil change and a couple of other things. :)

    Spotted a red Lotus Esprit parked near the Arboretum. Nice car.

    That doesn't count Willis! I've saw that same red Lotus heading eastbound on the 520 bridge yesterday in the pouring down rain.

    Andrew,

    That was only the second time I saw my own car being driven away. It felt weird.

    The first time, I almost didn't recognize my own car. Only thing in my mind was "Geez, That's an evil-looking 360!" :)

    I haven't encountered a Ferrari yet while driving in Seattle. That's mostly due to me not coming at the right time. But I'm ALWAYS in Bellevue when I'm the puget sound area. The only time I went to Seattle and really saw some Ferrari's was for the Ferrari and Maserati's on 12th show earlier this summer. An absolute sublime display of Ferrari's that day!

    BTW, I had to re-sign on to the site. I'm Guillaume (VanCooper) from the old board. I just lost my post count and stuff so I'm back to a rookie! And since October 24th, I've been driving a Mini Cooper S! The upgrade was well worth it!

    Welcome back. If you signed back up using the same username as on the old board then your post count should resolve in a few weeks. There are plenty of F-cars on the eastside of the "pond", but you're right, I tend to see more near the vicinity of downtown Seattle.

    I can tell you though that my friend in Bellevue has spotted one of the Seattle Enzo's (red one..GW?) on Bellevue way before.

    I have heard that the yellow Enzo I spotted a couple of weeks ago (in the rain) is owned by local "Hair Guy.." any guesses?
    Yellow Enzo driver was very much a male BTW.

    Wasn't it here on Fchat.com that I saw that Seattle's main newspaper had two Enzo's for sale recently, one yellow and one black?

    Andrew,

    I was relaying only what I heard about a female driver seen in an Enzo. Third- or fourth-hand info.

    Spotted on the Eastside. A rosso Honda Insight with a license frame "My other car is a Ferrari". Driven by an older gentleman. Perhaps a club member? :) No, I didn't drive the 360 in this windy weather with leaves and branches falling everywhere.

    Jackson and I were at Costco HQ's today and saw an awesome giallo (fly yellow) 360 spider with rear challenge, no shields roll by twice. Our eyes were glued on it!!
