    Someone mentioned that the older thread is getting too large. So here's a fresh one.

    Well, if anyone wants to go down to the Seattle Fairmont "Olympic" hotel today, and tomorrow morning (early) you will likely "spot" a LOT of exotic cars.... ;)

    do you know what time they would be around today? are they leaving for their rally today or tomorrow morning? public viewing available?

    i know f-chat isn't affiliated with the players run anymore, but personally, i can't turn down an offer to check out lots of exotics.

    if someone has pictures, please post them!!!

    I drove by a half hour ago...there was a Lambo diablo and a Porsche GT3RS parked out front, that was all. The cars are kept off site, and there is supposed to be a departure "event" at 8:30am Saturday morning, but I am unsure if that is at the hotel or not (rumor is at the hotel).

    Pictures of a "pre function party" yesterday, over at Lambo talk, you need to register to see the photos. The party was a blast. ;)

    Dave -

    thanks for all the info, i registered at the lambo forums just to see the pictures...!

    Good stuff, I'm off to downtown with a camera, hopefully I can see some stuff. I'd be really dissappointed if the kick off was elsewhere, seeing as how it's early on a Saturday and I spent waaaay too much time out last night. groggy.

    here's hoping, if I get pictures, I'll for sure post them here.

    Interesting pictures. That first one with the yellow Gallardo (no decals). Might it belong to someone we know? :)

    BTW, I missed it, but someone said they saw Patrick Calliari had entered his silver 360B and had Roberto as co-pilot?

    I'll post a bunch of photos when I get back. Made the the departure breakfast, but can't make the Seattle to SF portion due to the services of a good friend who was killed in Iraq last week....
    My partner and I are driving of all things.....G58K Brabus Cabriolet. The organizer turned away our E55 Wagon, and strongly encouraged the G58k over a 355 Spider?!?!
    All set on Ferrari's by the time we registered....there were alot of nice ones.
    Photos should be fun.

    Did it have the HRE wheels? If so it could have been him.

    Spotted a red 360 coupe headed northbound on 405 just south of bellevue at about 7:20. Had the challenge grills but don't think it was a stradale. Anyone?

    Yellow Countach at a Shell station on south Broadway in Everett, 12:15. It looked like it had the anniversary intakes in the back. Unsure if it was a real one or not. The proportions looked right but I couldn't check the details as I was driving by.

    I saw a yellow 355B today right by Silver Lake. Then a few minutes later a Red Porsche GT3. Are there many GT3's around here?

    Wow!! Wednesday morning at about 7:00am I spotted 2 amazing F-cars heading out of Issaquah on Hobart Road. The one in front was an F-360 in a blue color that I can not name? It was almost a sky blue color, much lighter blue than I have seen in pictures. And, following right behind that was a gorgeous red 430. They must have been together but I cannot imagine where or what they would have been doing at 7am on a Wednesday!

    Does anyone know these cars? Maybe someone can help me clear up the blue thing... unless I was hallucinating but the color remains very vivid in my mind. Stunning car!



    edit: The blue was very much like these colors here. Hard to describe when its on the car, maybe somewhere between these two.

    This morning near Microsoft north campus, a black 550 heading opposite of my direction. It's not Dr. Shelbee (he drove the 456M today).

    At Coal Creek, silver Maserati Gransport. I think it was Pasquale.

    Thanks Dave. Can you ease my mind in telling me that one of the above colors is similar to what I saw? Is Dr.Spalding a resident of Issaquah do you know? Any idea on the 430 behind him?
