    Early Tr's had a single center lug. After 88 1/2 they went to a 5 lug pattern.

    Thanks for pointing it out.. I just assumed that was a lug cover, not a single lug!

    Spotted 3 360 spiders and a Diablo while in Paris for Thanksgiving - the first 360 was while having a coffee with our F-chat comrade-in-Paris gordon (Jean) near the Arc de Triomphe. Great welcome!!!

    Cheers

    Yep, he PM'd me & asked - It sure was. I was going over to FAI to see Rick's new 348. I honked at the Burgandy 355 & waived, but he could care less. :)

    That is my white TR with the 5 lug Maranello wheels that was at pep boys and running around Woodland Hills. I needed new wiper blades for my Jetta and was aching for an excuse to go for a spin.

    Took the wife and the 348 Spider to Aqua tonight (Friday night) for dinner - came out of dinner and sitting next to me was a beautiful red TR. Nice to see two hot-lookin' bright red Ferrari's side by side.

    So...not a Ferrari, but earlier tonight around 7ish, I spotted the Chrysler ME12! Driving east on 2nd street in Downtown at the intersection of Figueroa. Though I didn't notice any filming going on at the time, I know earlier as I passed by it looked like they were shooting something in the area, not a big production though, just some lighting and cops hangin' around. Maybe it was there for a Chrylser commercial or for the upcoming LA Auto Show, or perhaps another reason. Just as I saw it crossing the intersection, my buddy shouted "what the hell is that?" as my mind was quickly trying to put together what it was. It was dark and I caught a good glimpse of the profile as it slithered by. Almost no doubt it was the ME12. Pretty cool looking. Didn't get to hear anything--didn't look like it was revvin too hard and the windows were up. Anyway, just thought I'd mention it to you guys.

    I saw a red 360 F1 Spider getting a VERY hard work out on Ventura Blvd between Woodlake & Valley Circle (Mulholland) @ 7:30PM.. Two or three hard launches and it went full bore through a very bad section of road. Aftermarket exhaust of some sort.

    It had Auto Gallery plates & the car exited at the Auto Gallery in Calabasas.. I can only assume some lackey went out for a spin before closing? I'm all for actually driving a car, but this looked like borderline abuse.

    I saw an absurd about of Ferraris while cruising up and down PCH from Crystal Cove to Huntington Beach today with my buddy. Mostly 360s but one black 355 as well.

    Best spot of the day though, our very own Steve in his 348 spider on PCH near Newport Autosport! Hi Steve :)
