    Kent, look forward to meet you,

    Good choice for Queen City Auto rebuild, had a good experience about the past with Steve. Just make sure they tightened the screw wheels before they hand the car to you (this is a serious thing, my long gone P-car's tire/wheel almost felt off from the car after they did the paint job)

    I saw this old 456GT too about a coupe months ago parked on 1st across from Ekhart's furniture. Looked like this guy owns a store there??

    It was probably the same one. The car was very dirty as if he's been driving it around after the snowstorm. At least it's getting some exercise.

    Saw a Yellow 308 this morning getting on southbound 405 from I-5 around 10:00 am. Sappa was that you?

    Passed a yellow Modena with rear Challenge grill on Woodinville/Snohomish Rd near 202. I was out exploring the roads that Willis told me about. :)

    Don't know about the furniture store, but the filthy black car pulling into the parking garage was me. And amazingly, the car was clean two hours prior, when I pulled it out of the garage. 125 miles of driving around in the wet a few days after a snow storm can really trash a car good. :)

    Thanks, Willis good to see all you guys - Just finished washing my car inside the garage - It was pretty dirty - took me 15 minutes to mop out the floor after I was done. I can't wait to go on drives again in the good weather with clean roads.

    Newer black Maserati Spyder cambiocorso-chango thing (does that count as a Ferrari?) on Broadway today (Sunday the 11th) at 2pm parked in front of WaMu bank by Vivace espresso. Washington vanity plate "SKNSFAN". A very Italian looking gentleman got out and didn't give my red Ducati motorcycle (parked maybe 18" away from his car) a second glance.

    I wonder if that means he is partial to a particular NFL football team, enjoys golf, or if he just likes to eat potato skin appetizers?

    I still haven't stopped smiling! I took a map and hit a dozen roads out that way. Thanks again for the great tips. And, if more such routes happen to come to mind... :) - Tim

    Spotted Ted W.'s Black 1999 355 Spider today heading south on I-5 towards Federal Way.... as usual he had the top -DOWN- even though the weather wasn't that great!

    I was in the passenger seat of a friend's car getting a ride to Griot's Garage to pick up my car. Ted recognized me after we honked and waved at him.

    red 308 on 12th/Pine today... didn't catch the personalized plate. Also, red 355B (with aftermarket wheels) on 12th, looks like he was headed for FoS.

    Out driving with Shelbee today. Saw a Rosso Scuderia Stradale going the other direction in downtown Duvall. Was that Thomas_B?

    There was snow on the side of the roads and slushy snow in the side streets of north Woodinville and around Maltby. Other than that, nice day for a drive.

    Willis,
    I have been driving around in the rain in my Cadillac Eldorado. How come nobody has spotted me ? It's got chrome WHEELS and everything.

    Put a pair of Ferrari Scuderia fender shields on the Caddy and maybe you'll get some attention! ;)
