Seattle Spotters Thread #5

Yellow 355 with WA vanity plates "8500RPM" on NE 4th St overpass in Bellevue

 

I've lived in the Seattle area since I was 4, I go college in AZ now. When I was in HS the CEO of infospace.com lived in my friend's condo in Kirkland. He owned an F50 and I've seen it up close and personal in the garage and I've seen him driving it around Kirkland a bunch of times. It's amazing how much attention that car attracts.

This was like 4 years ago, I bet he's sold the F50 now because infospace.com went bankrupt.

 

I saw that F50 at several Ferrari events.

It had a FULL Tubi exhaust system. Tubi headers with polished stainless straight pipes all the way out the back. No cats or mufflers.

What a sound!

The owner sold it after the InfoSpace stock took a gigantic nose dive.
He also had a Momo edition Lambo Diablo and some other exotics too.

 

Just got back from the car show downtown and guess which cars were at
the Ferrari display? Kuzi's old 575M and Tim's old 360! Damm that 575M looks so good!!

 

Wasn't there a video floating around back in the days of him doing a runway high speed run? Something like reaching 180mph before shutdown?

 

yes.....look on the viper forums

 

Yesterday I saw a red 355 in the Alderwood mall parking lot.

 

that was jean-remy facq. He still lives in kirkland, but was ever the ceo of infospace -- he was the chief systems architect. Last time i talked to him he still owned the viper wih the... uh, interesting hood art (actually it was done by chris lassen himself)

the 180mph video was taken at an event in nevada whereby many a person is invited to have a police escorted "how fast can you go?" run aroudn the state sponsored by their state patrol.

remy currently works at microsoft.

Hey, good to know you Intelius guys are big Ferrari fans! BTW, you also are sponsors on one of my favorite radio stations, 100.7, The Buzz. Go Leykis!!

 

It is mine, I hope I didn't cut you off or anything yesterday morning.

 

Yeah, I forgot about the Momo Diablo. That was a sick car. He also had a few E36 Bimmers for daily drivers. I swear he had like 15 reserved parking spots at that condo.

 

Silver 360 spider (top was down) passed Medina Tully's twice yesterday about 3PM.

Shelbee, perhaps. It was a very nice day for a drive.

 

Hey do any of you guys have a link to that 180mph F50 video I would love to see, and hear it with those straight pipes.

 

Red/Tan 355 Spider heading S on 12th ave.

 

possible DaveH

 

Might have been. I was at FoS this afternoon with Jackson Tse (in his CS). We had a heck of a turn out for the car museum today...check the pics.

 

It was nice seeing so many Ferrari's on a possibly rainy day. Looking for the details and pics on the Lemay Museum Outing. Nice meeting and seeing all your rides finally.

That's only a couple miles from where Will D. lives...and being "retired", could seem him out and about at 2:30pm.
