    Just get the person you are buying the car from to provide that letter from their nearest authorized dealer. I was told it would only be $100 from the US but dealers here were charging WAY more.

    Spotted the DBS Volante as well - Fortunately for me it pulled into AM Calgary same time I was there - what a beautiful car. I guess it returns to Cali today.
    Also spotted a red 599 while I was there. And managed to sit in the Spyker - not the easiest entry/exit in that thing!
    Other Spots:
    White Gallardo spider & Silver R8 (together) - Downtown
    Red F430 on Deerfoot by the Meadows
    Grey DBS on Deerfoot by the Meadows

    Guys, for those of you who dealt with Alessandro, I'm sad to say I found out today that he has passed away. I really appreciated the work he did and the guy he was so this is a real blow to this small community. The business is now closed too. Rest In Peace Alessandro...

    Spots:
    Flat Black F430 w/red pin stripes - Okotoks
    Black Aston V8 - heading into Okotoks
    Black Aston Vanquish @ IKEA
    Grey Ford GT w/stripes

    On a side note, How many Enzo's in this city now? Kulu has recently moved 2 Red ones. The one that burned up earlier this summer has been replaced again as stated in the BC thread. The dude with the black one (may he rest in peace) is that one still around? Could it be there are 3 red ones, 1 yellow and a black one? 5 Enzo's in one city? Crazy. Just wondering.

    Good day Tom,

    There is a Edmonton fellow that has a small shop that is apparently doing some good work. A number of 360's, Diablo's, 308's, and 328's are taking their cars there and are quite happy. I was told that his charges are very reasonable and the quality is excellent. Here is their website:

    http://www.elegantmotors.ca/

    I have no experience or affiliation with the shop (I do all of my own service) and so all the info I received was through 3rd parties.

    Cheers,

    Sam

    Ed is a decent, honest guy. Last time I was there he had a 308, 2 testarossas, and a 360 in the shop.

    Just saw a light metallic green Vanquish driven by a female in Okotoks - Alberta plates w/North Carolina plate frame. Sorry for the bad/buggy pic.

    I was in Calgary today passing thru with the family in family car. I noticed about 2-300 cars in downtown cowtown. They were protesting the closing of Calgary International Raceways. Didn't have camera, anyone catch it? Some decent cars there
