Spotted a Red/Crema Mondial Cabby in Oakville. Also a yellow Dino 246GTS (Thanks Andrew for the heads-up) a Red 360 Sider, Bentley Azzure in Yorkville. Also, another Bentley Azzure in my hood. Vasco
Vasco, No worries! Today was pretty much a vintage car spot day for me (with the exception of a really nice DB7 Volante on Bloor/Bay). My spots included: The aforementioned Dino 246GTS Red XK150 (two spots up from the Dino) White Excalibur on Bloor White Rolls Phantom V on the Gardiner going Westbound. The owner of the yellow 246 is Morry (owner of Collector Studio). He & I spoke at length about the car. He purchased it from a fellow in Kansas who did a full body restoration (paint totally stripped, all nuts & bolts done). This fellow, who has 8 other vehicles, spent a considerable amount above market value on the car in order to win 1st place overall at a major concours. Once he got his Platinum Award, he sold the car to Morry. The car is spectacular in my opinion. Morry drives it about 3 times a week (in his words) so I'm glad to see one of these wonderful pieces of rolling art isn't becoming yet another trailer queen. He hasn't tracked it but isn't scared of taking it out for a spin. I say well done Morry!
Anyone here go to the Live 8 concert? I only watched a bit on TV. Great show all over the world! Don't forget to sign your names @ www.live8live.com Man does Neil Young look old! Poor guy, BUT good to see him out for the first time since his sickness.
My old man's F430 Spyder arrived last week and I was bombing around in it at the cottage in Muskoka on the weekend. Man what a machine!! The sound is incredible, and I must say it turned a lot of heads!! I'll post some pics when I get a chance to take some, I forgot my camera for the weekend.
A red 308GTB (Sounded very raced out) on Yonge and Eglinton. Red 328 GTSi in Thronhill (Again). Last night in Little Italy I saw a Triple Blue 355 Spyder. Vasco
Silver 360 CS on Yonge, between Lawrence and York Mills/Wilson. Was waiting to make a left turn, so didn't get to hear the roar.
I probably got the best spot of the day : Carrera GT Downtown Oakville (my 1st time seeing one, it looks amazing) - Silver modded (venom) viper passing by on the lakeshore strip just after trafalgar Very nice, all within 5 mins
red 355 in front of sassfraz and a red 512 TR one street north... more than a handful of SL's.... Blue Conti GT turning from Dupot to Avenue
finally saw 430 on the road it was at the go for tea plaza.... dark grey i think sounded amazing for sureeee
Just 5 mins ago, heading north on Yonge st. just south of Finch.... sweet red 355, with "355" plate, heard it coming long before I saw it...damn, I miss my old one sometimes
Ryan, that is sweet. What color did you get? That 430 is just beautiful. How is the F1 compared to the 360? Any noticeabe difference?
Hey Rick, Its red on black. To be honest, I've never driven an F1 360,.. only the 360 Stradale - which I think is the newer version than the normal 360. The F1 in the F430 seemed to be exactly the same as the Stradale.. certainly no noticable differences. I'll try to post some pics as soon as I can, hopefully later this week. Keep an eye out for it in the Newmarket area, liscence plate "F4Thirty". cheers.
And you keep looking in your rear view mirror for a red/blk TR up there as well. I would love to see this color combo. I live 15 minutes south of Newmarket, blast up the 404 almost every weekend early morning for a run. If your around this coming Sat morning PM me, we can meet up for coffee up there.
I saw the same pair, in the same location,a little further south on yonge...yellow diablo, burnt orange? new style corvette...around 12:45. That Diablo sounded pretty quite didnt it?..surprised me, I was expecting more of a loud, gutteral snarl.Looked like an earlier model Diablo too, still very nice though!
hey rick, are you from richmond hill area? how early on the weekends do you blast up the 404? maybe i might see you one day
I wish I could, stuck in meetings tomorrow and the rest of the week, because of a 3 week long little vaction time im taking off from the 11th next week. Gotta wrap up. Let me know in the coming weeks you wanna do a run together.
In and about that area.I usually blast up at 7am to Davis, do a coffee with a few freinds who have a few cars and then blast home. Usually Sat or Sunday, pending weather of course and the F1 race. If its race day or qualifying day I go after around 10am
