I'll stop lurking and actually start posting. Saw a 996 gt3 (cobalt blue?) going east bound on the 401, saw a few newer 997.2 C4/S's in Burlington. Then, when sitting on my balcony facing Fairview St, saw a beautiful 997 Turbo S (black) go by a few times. Following that, saw a nice dark grey with stripes Ford GT (think it was my uncles buddy Alan Pierson that owns Discovery Ford).

Default BATMOBILE!

Ok..this was so interesting I had to post. In Wasaga Beach on Sunday, I saw the oddity pictured below. Two wheels in front, one in back, two passengers one behind the other. No idea what it is..anyone know?

Also, on Highway 10 (Hurontario) up near Caledon Village, I spotted THE BATMOBILE! I was going south, it was northbound. Certainly an eye-catcher, and looked just like the true batmobile, at least in the few seconds I had to look at it. Anyone know anything about it?

It can't be plated as a car in Ontario so did it have a bike plate on the back?

I've seen the batmobile as well on the way to Orangeville over a week ago!

It's actually plated and looks like its propelled with a rocket engine...

It has a custom plate but didn't stop to check it out.

I saw the champagne (maybe gold?) one at the post office downtown. That white cab could have been the S2 that was for sale locally. I have to admit that I thought about it, but never got around to going to see it.

I was at a CMP lapping event at Calabogie on the 7th. NER PCA members were pulling in and practicing for their 3 day event starting on the 8th. Many GT3 RS's plus GT3's ....great hearing them blast pass.
Expected turnout was 125 plus.
Dave S's Carrera GT was there also...another great sound.

More like what was 'not spotted'...was at the Indy today and saw nothing but Ferrari's. Last year...GT3s, Ernie's Cayman, Cup cars...this year, nada thanks to the Ferrari Challenge

On the plus side...spotted TorontoWorker's daughter....nice girl - hope she wins and gets to go to Bud Camp (hell, hope I win and get to go to Bud Camp !!)
