    As per your request sir. ;)

    Maybe you should move business back down to Reno...south Reno to be exact. The majority of my spots are in and around the Galena area. I've never heard of/met Ed...what does he own, maybe I've seen him around. XSSSIVE is a great friend of mine and drives his exotics quite often...only if the weather's nice though. ;)

    In the last week:

    A number of Maserati Quattroportes on 280 and Los Gatos.

    What looked like a '47 Packard Clipper in Campbell. Light tan colour and for sale.

    A Bristol 401 in Cupertino. The sound of it firing up and that rorty BMW sourced inline 6 growling away through a tiny tailpipe was a real treat!

    The national MG organization just completed a cross country tour ending in Reno this week and many are staying around to participate in the Reno Jaguar Club's annual Concours event being held at Victorian Square Saturday.
    Any one not going up to the VC hillclimb might want to drive over and see some vintage British cars and motorcycles.

    I've been up around Incline Village and Tahoe for the past two days for a huge 3-day MINI gathering. We were doing Autocross today at the Mt. Rose Ski lodge parking lot and I heard, then saw, a red Ferrari F430 Spider going up Hwy 431 towards Incline. Looked and sounded amazing.

    :cool:

    As the F355 & I were cruising today I spotted a red 360 Modena parked in front of Il Fornaio. Italian, very appropriate. I can always be spotted at Mcdonalds. That way I have some money for maintenance.
    I better start bringing a camera.

    As the beast & I were cruising down Broadway burlingame on July 5th late evening I noticed a sweet Black Ferrari 360 Modena parked. Not sure where homeboy (or Homegirl) was eating. Maybe Broadway Prime? Black is a *****ing color....or lack of it I should say. Me & the Yellow Beast shall continue the hunt.....
    Good to see a sprinkle of Ferrari on these nice summer days.
    Stay Thirsty my friends. I'm off to Safari...

    I would have been sad had it been a Ferrari.

    But even in his misguided ways he did not deserve that.

    Red Ferrari F430 with Lake Tahoe (Nevada) plates turning into the Galena Market gas-station at about 2:30pm. Owner looked to be in his early-mid 20s. Anyone here?

    Yes, the Rapide is beautiful, no doubt, but I prefer that classic Mercedes-Benz sedan parked behind it! :)

    Ha Ha Ha .... Thanks! The Mercedes is mine. It's the around town car, kids love it! I bought the car from the original owner, 175K miles on the clock.. I told my 12 year old it's his car when he needs one..only a couple of years away. Believe me that kid needs no more horsepower than that vintage Mercedes can deliver....plus it's really built like a tank...
    He's suppose to figure out how to work on it, I figure he should know something about how cars work.
