    Todd, I believe I have met the owner of the yellow 348 at the Italian Car Show in North Van a couple years ago. Chinese guy if I remember correctly, nice guy!

    He came down to the "Ferraris on 12th" event in Seattle later that same year (2002).

    The yellow 355 Spider that everyone see's everywhere is probally a rental that belongs to: Rent-A-Benz in Richmond.

    I see it everywhere too. I've seen the car at Jessel's when in for service. The car has a few little thing's that distinguish it from others.

    Heading out to the Fraser valley this afternoon for some cheap gas, just West of Fort Langley a beautifully restored RHD MG TC and a while later, an AC Cobra replica. I was kind-of surprised, on a beautiful day like today, I was expecting more "toy" cars to be out.

    So I was talking to my girlfriend today, and she was telling me about this music video that she was an extra in a few weekends ago. They had an ENZO in the video (filmed here in Vancouver), on loan from the States. The group is called Mantra (I think), video should be out in a couple of weeks.
