    This morning...Chapel Hill...Airport Road going towards 40...a Black Bently Continental GT. Man that car looks a lot better in person than in pics and it sounds so much more different than I thought it would.

    Friday...at the University Mall in Chapel Hill...the Orange Elise I keep runnin into.

    And...(there will be doubters on this one but I know what I saw!!) Thursday...on Guess Road in North Durham...going toward 85...











    are you ready for this one?











    A Maybach 62. Yes...a Maybach. The car is HUGE!! Two tone...silver upper and beige/tan sides. I banged a u-turn right in the middle of Guess Road and got behind it just to be 150% sure I was not seeing things. This car was less than 5 miles from my house and it was driving around. Now...my mission...find where it stays.;) But...and here will be more disbelief...the guy in the back of the car looked like Paul Newman. He has a house in Treyburn so it would not be an impossibility at all. If I am not mistaken, I have also seen Mr. Newman driving a silver 328 around Durham as well.

    Told you there would be doubters.

    Though if you go read my original post I did say the guy LOOKED like Paul Newman, I never said it was him.

    Well...I can say it wasn't Paul yesterday...cause he was in San Jose at the Champ Car Grand Prix....I saw him there congratulating his 2 drivers...but that isn't to say you haven't seen him here before

    Well...maybe it could have been him on his way to the airport since it was Thursday when I saw the Maybach. Does not really matter who was in the car though as I am sure of this...the car was HUGE and it was really good looking...for a Mercedes.;)

    Earlier this morning, a beautiful black 550 Maranello on 15-501 going towards Chapel Hill. Man, when he hit the throttle to pass that car, the sound was amazing.

    A non-Ferrari sighting, but a nice one. Today in Wilmington on Oleander near the Independence Mall. Silver Rolls-Royce Phantom. It's good to see one in person. They are bigger in person. Although I think the rear looks like a Mercedes.

    Spider? If so, that's the one I mentioned earlier that sits in front of a uniform company on Chapel Hill Rd between Academy St. and Maynard almost every day.

    On Wed Yellow 360 Spyder on Falls at Durant just as I was pulling out of my neighborhood. There was a young guy a few houses down with a Silverstone 360 but I think he was with the Hurricanes and was traded.

    The other day I saw a 356 at European Performance and then saw a different one sitting in front of Porters on Hillsborough St. The only Ferrari I have seen recently is the blue 328 that was at EP.

    Another one that I will get the "Put down the pipe" remark but I really do not care. Believe me if you want or not...no skin off my back either way.

    Yesterday, on 85 going Northbound around the 70 spilt. I was heading to work so I had to take 70 off 85 but a silver XJ200 kept going north. Florida or Georgia tags on it as it had an orange or a peach in the middle of the plate. I noticed him/her as I was breaking off and I was already running too close to being late for work to follow.
