Default Another Carrera GT sighting in Vancouver...

I thought there were only 2 CGT's in Vancouver or something...but on Monday night I saw my first CGT on the road! But it was on a side road in North Vancouver!!!

I was at my acting class at 3rd and Pemberton in NV hangin outside at about 630pm, when a FRICKIN grey CGT drives by right in front of me!!! My god what a beautiful car!!! And what is it doing around there, at that time of day on a road with very little traffic??? It was a guy with dark hair and sunglasses driving...anyone seen him before?

That just made my day right there...

The way these CGT's are dropping like flys in all the "wrecked exotics" pictures, I'm surprised that there are any left.

Oddly enough, one of the CGTs in Vancouver IS one of the CGTs that has been (mildly) wrecked. Seems the owner is not the most astute driver - he is infamous for his high speed fly-bys and other sundry pubescent antics while piloting his CGT around Vancouver. There are photos of one of his mishaps here:

His name is Dick Hardt and he was the founder and CEO of a software company called ActiveState that was sold for a ridiculous amount of (USD $$$) money a couple of years ago. If his car is back together after the mishap detailed above, it may have been the car you spotted.
