    I cheated! I was on Barlow and it was on the service road... I'm sure heading back to the dealership. Hopefully it was on pre-delivery road test... looked great in black!

    Thanks for the heads up. I went by earlier and checked it out in the showroom.

    They also have a yellow w/ silver stripes Scud parked next to it, and what looked like a dark 550 Barchetta in the service area.

    I saw a similar sort of loser lapping going on in Paris (just got back). A man in a black R8 was ripping down the Champs de Elysses, turning around at the Arc de Triumph and going back down. Rinse, repeat.

    Not that I'm complaining.

    Might have been rosso mugello if it was burgundy.

    Careful out there on the early morning drives... I was on the 762 loop thru milllerville. Awsome morning, no cars, no cops... But coming around a bend at a pretty good clip and I almost ran into some locals.

    They look a lot bigger when you are at the level of their knees LOL!

    Wow, I will keep that in mind. I have never seen a stampede like that through there. Maybe just a local tractor/farmer trying to run us off the road. Geez!

    Yellow and Silver 360 Spider
    White Gallardo Coupe
    Orange LP640 Raodster

    Nice job on the Camaro spot! I saw one on the deerfoot extension a couple weeks ago (red). Also saw one at Jack Carter last week. Definitely cool looking.

    Black F430 on Bonaventure Dr. yesterday, sounded great!

    No idea, dude.

    Also just read on another forum that Vancouver and Toronto will be getting Bugatti Dealerships. Transport Canada is close to finalizing things.
