Seen on the Weekend Thread
« on: May 18, 2008, 11:56:17 pm »
Time for a refresh of my Saturday Night thread.  I realized that it was too narrow so here is a more general category which should complement the "seen on the way to work" thread.  There are a lot of interesting things which come out on a Sunday drive which never see the light of day otherwise.

To start it off, here is what I saw in the same parking lot today.  The two Vipers were parked nose to nose, while the Prowler was parked just on the other side of the lot.

I also saw a car with the designation TXll driving around my neighbourhood.  It reminded me a of a London cab in overall shape but I have no way of confirming that.

Was here on the weekend:

Saw many wonderful machines, but have no pix of them. Most passing by on the street. Bimmers and Benzes a dime a dozen, but a lot of Ferraris, Lambos and even spied one Mercedes SLR McLaren (very awesome side pipes).

A great 40 hours in Tinseltown.  ;D

There was a Ferrari 308 in the parking lot at RONA. I wonder how many two-by-fours go in that car.

I'm one of those lucky government types that gets four days off this weekend.  So, I'm bound to see something interesting before Tuesday.

I spoke too soon.  There was a fire in my building tonight on the 16th floor.  No word yet on damage amount or if there were any injuries.

Flames were visible for a short period.

Saw the new Maxima and a Passat CC in the span of 2 minutes.  Both I consider to be rare so far.  Last week a I saw a new Mazda6...have only seen two in personb so far.  Tons of the facelifted Civic...but nothing super expensive like the rest of you :D

A week ago last Thursday, before the rain.  A red Maserati Bi-Turbo convertible on the 407. Looked in good clean condition.

I doubt it.  I wouldn't think a C6 Z06 would be easily scared off.....
