    Yes, I forgot about that one. I think that must be the one to which Dom is referring.

    So, there is <at least> one red, and one black, 330 GTC running around in the DSM area then. As, I mentioned, there used to be a second red one, but it was sold and left the state about a year ago (btw, it was in need of a minor restoration and had not been running for many years, so not one you would have ever seen out and about).

    Could be, as I noted, I have not seen the car, don't know its colour, but I'll bet in Des Moines, 2 is more than enough not to confuse the issue, and that must be the car.

    I'll send a note to my friend and see how he responds.

    Sorry for the delay in my reply.

    My friend confirmed his brother's car is black. That's all he said.

    Saw a silver Bentley CGT in DSM at a car shop. It looked pretty rough, it had scratches and paint peeling. Also looked as though it got a new hood.

    Today on I 35 south I saw a white Testarossa on a flatbed, it looked nice.

    I believe the California has been replaced or will be very shortly.

    Unfortunately I have no pictures as I was either driving or working when I saw all these cars.

    I have seen a black Maserati GT in Ames, a black Maserati Quattroporte in Des Moines (it had some interesting rims), a black Maserati Ghibli on the interstate near grimes, a white Maserati Quattroporte at a dealership in Des Moines, and a silver BMW z8 in downtown Des Moines.

    This will be my last weekend in Iowa, I am hoping to do some serious car spotting!! So please everyone drive your cars this weekend, I would love to see them, thanks in advance!!

    You can spot some great cars at the Merle Hay Mall Cars and Coffee on Saturday from 9 to 11. The weather should be fantastic so there may be a great group this month.
