    Greetings from the snowy prairies!!! I trekked out to Vancouver and Whistler a week and a half ago (yup, no time for FC anymore oh well) But spotted some F's! A 355S with red tape ? on the front grill on Burrard. Then on our way up to Whistler a great looking 348 whizzed passed us on Georgia! Great car!

    Oh, to live in GV... sigh (looking at watch) What only... 3 1/2 months to go until we can drive again???

    a depressed prairie boy at heart

    :O

    Here's a pic that I have from last summer. Thought it was kind of neat. This is the first Murcielago that I have seen driving. It was in Richmond too.

    So today I'm driving to UBC to study at the library, and I'm driving north on SW Marine Drive, towards UBC, and I see a silver 550 Maranello, in between Blenheim and 49th...

    Then a few hours later I'm driving on 4th at Blanca, away from UB, and theres a 550 waiting at the light heading towards UBC...it had the front right headlight burnt out/not working...

    I dont think they were the same car, I dont think the first one had the light out...

    Also, I saw the Aston Martin Vanquish parked in its driveway by Spanish Banks...

    what a day :)

    Viper,
    Where/when was the black 355B spotted? Looks like along Burrard?

    toddb,

    First time seeing the Murcielago driving. It looked stunning seeing it move. Just a complete eye-catcher.


    davehanda,

    yeah, I'm pretty sure that was on Burrard when I got that pick ;)



    fvellani,

    I'm not sure, but I think I might have seen that Aston Martin Vanquish today heading home from UBC. Was it silver? It was on the opposite side on the highway to UBC. I was on the bus and barely caught a glimpse of it. Wasn't sure if it was a Vanquish or not. But definately looked like one.

    Yesterday, dark blue 360 Modena driving on Burrard, between Davie and Pacific (heading out of downtown)...I think I saw the same car last week on Alma b/w 4th and Broadway...

    Also, saw the Vanquish again coming out of its driveway and heading towards UBC.

    Viper, yup, its silver...and I've only seen it around UBC, so its probably a good bet that it was the Vanquish that you saw...

    Awesome, it most likely was a Vanquish then.

    First one for me ;) Great looking car even though I just caught a split second glimpse of it.

    Finally, a sighting to report from out in the suburbs:

    Around 10pm last night, in Surrey, around the Scott Rd and 88th Ave area, a yellow 355 Spider... Sounding and looking very nice.

    Yesterday it was b/w 49th and Blenheim...

    The Vanquish was parked at the boatyard behind the observatory @ 4pm today - by a make-up trailer. Some filmy, for the nighttime shooting out there. (brightest aerial lights in captivity on that set!!!)
