    I have no idea of where to put this, but I saw a yellow Ferrari 360/430 spider (it was kind of hard to see while driving) in the Buffalo, NY area this evening.

    I must be the only resident in the area. :D

    I actually *may* have a guess as to whose car it could be, if he has one. I know he lives in a pretty nice place just down the road from the establishment in the off-season.

    I think there are not many Ferrari's out in the Buffalo area as there are no dealers there.

    I do - live in Orchard Park.
    I have seen a few Ferraris in the area (same cars multiple times so I know they reside), but do not know whether the owners are F-chatters...
    Some newer 360s, and 430s and a few 308s and 328s.
    I think I have the only 308GT4 in town, have never seen another one in the area.

    I have a red 355 spider, live in hamburg/orchard park area. Also have a white Lamborghini Countach we drive around once in a while. Usually just take them out to dinner. I think I saw your 308 on Armor Duells rd a few weeks ago.

    I've seen a yellow 360 Spider running around around Route 5 area a few.

    I wonder how Rochester fares.

    Interesting; I live in Orchard Park as well. Have an '83 308; my best friend has a 360 Spider.
    To the original poster, what town was the 360 in? the MB dealer in Williamsville had a yellow coupe a while ago.

    Our local resident; #94 on the Bills has a red 458 Coupe; there's also a 355 Spyder that I saw in the village tonight.
    There are more here than in think.
    Thanks.

    Were you at David's Grille tonight? Never seen your Countach; my friend with the 360 Spider also has a red 84 Countach...

    I'd love to meet up with everyone before the snow flies

    Glad to see some activity.

    Is it a 360 or 430? I didn't get the full view (was paying attention to the road), but it looked like a 360. Middle-age gent driving it.

    I haven't seen too many other sightings, at least exotic. I've seen an Aston Martin (either Vanquish or DB7) once, but I honestly can't remember where. I do know where there is always a Maserati Quattroporte (think of the guy who used to run one of the region's more "famous" restaurants/banquet facility, before moving on to start a new one).

    360; where do you live? There are more exotics around here than you think (2 Fisker Karmas); a guy I know in East Aurora has a Saleen Twin Turbo...iven been kicking around the idea for a charity exotic drive to Ellicottville for a few years now, just need to get it done.

    Nice pictures. Looks like a blast. I'm glad to see there are some nice cars around, and more wealth (sure, we aren't on the big metro areas of the country) than noticed. It's nice to see we've gotten to the point where BMWs, Benzs, Audis, and even Porsches are becoming everyday cars.

    Well, my living situation is a bit confusing. I'm working in northern Chautauqua county (PM me for details, if you want), but I currently live close to Rochester. I plan on moving back towards the area once things come through, but I'm a lifelong WNY resident.

    The shields on the 355 look great; I'd love to see the Countach at some point. A white one is on my short list of cars...
    Thanks.

    We don't have many get togethers; just informal times to meet. I had my 308 out earlier today, and will be heading out in an about an hour in it.
    Send me a PM - we can exchange cell numbers etc.
    Thanks,
