Saw a red Ferrari 360? pulled over on the westbound QEW in Oakville or Burlington Sat. night. Cop was almost kneeling on the ground to speak into the driver's window! I sure hope he wasn't doing 50+ over - could you imagine the cops towing that one away? No doubt I'd be taking pictures of the odometer reading!

a viper SRT-10 came to CSCS as well as a black 964. speaking of cops, 2 OPP guys came thru the event. Looked to me like they were just looking at cars, but no one there trusted them at all (could be writting down/memorizing plates).

Omar, take your tinfoil hat off. Why would OPP write down or memorize plates? It's much easier to spot the car speeding or driving recklessly than it is to squint at a license plate. Besides, if the OPP officers had any brains whatsoever, they'd realize that the people that actually do "take it to the track" are the ones that are more likely to drive properly on public roads.

Yeah, they're probably just car guys too and using some of their PR days to chat up other enthusiasts...just like the 2 OPP guys that visited Dunnville last week. See photo evidence exhibit "A" in my sig.

Spotted a lovely brown 911 SC on 403 Toronto at Dundas around 5pm. Had fishing rods poking through the sunroof. Gave a wave and a beep. Nice bloke. Nice car.

Spotted on Granville Street yesterday winding through afternoon traffic a black 993 Turbo. I expect that this car will be parted pretty soon if that driver continues driving through red lights.

Red 968 in Yorkville Tuesday night, pretty as a picture. More than able to mix it up with the Ferraris and Lambos one sees in that neck of the woods.
