When was the last time you saw one. They're rarer than Lambos around here. OK so, I also saw a short hood, brown, on 50 w bound.

Suckers seemed to fill the street when they swooped down out of the tree and flew majestically up the street between the trees. They've been back several times but we haven’t seen them land. The hawk across the street stayed away while the big guns were in the air. We’ve seen several nearby on the parkway but not on our street before.

Lambo's aren't that rare either.. My wife saw 3 bald eagles out in Boyds over the weekend. Had them flying over head at our wedding too. They are a regular site out that way.

Back to the thread.. One yellow Lambo, One red (surprise!) Ferrari, and too many Porsches to count drove past my office window between noon and 1:00 today. It was a nice day to bring the toys to the office.

Spotted TD (I think he used to post here) in his blue Club Sport at the corner of Reservoir and 28th street NW DC. Gave a wave. Got a wave.

I thought it was him. We only met once. It was about 3 blocks from his house.
Pretty sure it was a Club Sport. I don't think that unique paint color was used but for the Club Sport and special order. Plus it had the aero.
