    I think that is Manny Fresh's new 430.

    Any way to distinguish his from others aside from temp tags? I'd like to see him driving it.

    Right now it looks bone stock. Saw him about 3 weeks ago in it talking to the valets at the W. About a year ago I talked to him for a few minutes bout his Porsche Cab Turbo. He replaced the Porsche symbol with the Transformers symbol, lol

    Hmm... maybe?

    To be honest, it took a few minutes of research to figure out it was a 208 (I'd never seen or heard of one before).

    Looked like this little guy:

    I guess it is a 308 GT4, I just didn't do enough research... (not the first time that's happened)

    It could be a 208 I was just curious because I think they only made 840 or so 208 GT4 's throughout the entire production run so it would be rare to see one over here

    Pseudo-Eleanor trim with white stripes sans front bumper. I see it 4-5 times a week. Nice looking but I'm guessing it's not real due to the frequency that I see it on the road. Also sounds different than the GT500. Not as potent sounding.




    At Cruisin the Coast I saw what looked like a 288GTO wannabe. It was going the other way so I couldn't get as good of a look as I wanted. Looked like the wheelbase was too short but not as short as a Fiero. Perhaps a 308 conversion but did not have the Targa Top. Did not look to be as nice as the one that was at Greff's a few months ago. Rest of Cruisin the Coast was old American (probably half dozen General Lee clones, LOL). I was hoping to see some of dem' ferrin cars.

    You and I must have been passing each other because I saw it at about the same time near the Chevron station at 1088.

    that is where I saw it. I was turning onto 1088 from 59 on my way to Mandeville Middle. I was in my Accord not the TR so I was blending in :)

    All Accords are silver, right?

    Yesterday on Sult (Mandeville) an orange 911 (993) widebody with I beleive a 993 Cup tail. Had a for sale sign on it. It was dusk but something tells me that the flares were aftermarket and perhaps the car was not really a 993. Gorgeous car either way. Wish I had time and $ to explore the price of said car.
