    Is everyone in the NorCal section just not that excited to see any other Fcars?

    I've actually seen some nice cars the past few days, could they be anyone here?

    Dark Green Bentley Azure, pretty sure it was an Azure with the ragtop. Going S280 stuck in traffic, while I was on N280, couldn't miss that car going 65 (80) in the other direction.

    Yellow 360Modena, going South on 19th Ave late Saturday night.

    Silver GT3 blowing by everyone on S280, past Sand Hill, I was going 85, and that car blew by me, it was.. WOW.

    Today
    Dark Silver(Titianum?) 575M, on Junipero Sierra, looked like an older gentleman, white hair. Walked past it at the stoplight.

    A couple weekends ago I was on N280 in Palo Alto and passed a red 575. The man at the wheel looked a whole lot like Francis Ford Coppola. Does he live in the area?

    Even though I own two, I still chase after Ferraris to admire them, no matter what the model. They have an intoxicating beauty.

    sad to hear you sold your RS :( my dad has a 73 S we're restoring.
    on the 22nd I think, I saw a red (no stripe) challenge stradale in SF, while I was heading in to SF on the second exit after the golden gate bridge. (sorry, I live 3 hours from SF, and I'm 15, so I don't know the names of most of the streets)

    Wow, I saw the 70 TA 340 you were selling in another thread.

    You ever bring out the BOSS 302? I almost bought one, but then came to my senses after looking at how much restoration it was going to need.

    I sold the Trans Am not the RS. The boss is an old trans am car from the 71 series. It all restored but i dont drive it much, it has 12-1's in it and needs race gas so i take if out a few times a year. The car sounds like a race car so you can hear it a block away, its "school bus yellow" which is really orange like Parneli (sp) no# 15 car or was it 16, not sure anymore. I do like the old american muscle cars, but i also really like the modern stuff too.

    Why I am so unfortunate to NOT have seen the Carrera GT on the road? Is it anyone here?

    I was watching Car and Driver TV, expecting it to have the classic segment about the Dino, also a piece about the Elise (it's next week). But they talked about the Brock Coupe, and I realized I saw a grey w/ blue stripe one last year cruising down 280. Has to be somewhat decent considering I remember it from a year ago.

    Creamsicle colored Murcielago Southbound 280 near Page Mill Saturday around 4pm...

    Grigio 328 parked in front of Peets in Santana row in an hour and a half...Yes I am delusional, and no, I can't see into the future....Hey, they never said you couldn't spot your own car if you were too pathetic to spot anything else interesting!!

    Now that I wrote this I will probably get hit by a truck heading down 280!!

    Cheers
