That is a cool car! Pretty interesting history too

I know where there's a cream colored 1800 ES for sale, but the guy wanted waaaaay to much for it.

every time I see one of these, I have to wonder if a 2l flat 4 would fit in there...

Just saw a gray Ferrari 612 Scaglietti on the Beltway (web-sourced photos below as I couldn't get a picture of it):

I see a brown one fairly often on 395. I'm not a fan of the Scaglietti in general, and brown doesn't do it any favors.

Agreed on the brown, but I think it's a beautiful car in that gray.

Going antique

I love to see old timey vehicles still on the road.

I was following him for a while. You should have seen the looks he was getting from everyone.

Been meaning to post up with some of the ones I've seen recently. First, one I saw at my gym:

MG TF
Engine Capacity: 1796cc
Power: 136PS/99.3kW@6,750rpm
Torque: (NM/rpm) 165 NM@5,000rpm
0-60mph: 8.4 secs
Top speed: 127mph/205kph
Second was today on the way back from Herndon, VA:

Ferrari 575M Maranello
Configuration: 65° V12 engine
Displacement: 5.7 L (5748 cc/350 in³)
Maximum power: 540 PS (400 kW; 530 hp) at 7,250 rpm
Maximum torque: 588.6 N·m (434.1 lb·ft) at 5,250 rpm
Maximum speed: 327 km/h (203 mph)
0 to 100 km/h (62 mph): 4.2 seconds
Both absolutely beautiful cars. I also saw a Jaguar XKR-S, but couldn't get a picture Sounded beautiful though!

How the did someone get an MG TF over here?!? I didn't think they were sold stateside?

This was a right hand drive, so I'm guessing they had it shipped here when they moved. I have a couple of other pictures that I'll post up when I have a connection for my phone to go out of

ELONA?! I've seen that plate before. Can't remember exactly where though.

there was a coupe as well, but I like that classic shooting brake look.
I spent some time drinking an Octoberfest at Oktoberfest contemplating whether a Subaru 2.5 would fit in that engine bay...

really cool old small fiat that an owner of a shop down the street from our apartment drives:

I just saw one from Mexico yesterday, come to think of it.

I spotted a white GTR, a black Maserati Gran Turismo and a green Aston Martin DB9 on 66 this afternoon.

Its about that time of year, go park at a overlook on Skyline Drive and watch the exotics roll by.

New Silver Aston Martin DBS spotted in Falls Church, VA. I have a crappy cell phone picture, but dayam, Recession?! What recession?!!

This is basically what i saw when it was circling the block and I tried to keep up in my de-tuned diablo.

Needless to say, my jaw dropped to my pasty white ankles.

Spotted a silver lambo mercy in manassas of all places? With staple deep dish rims.

a red 550 Maranello Spyder rolled down 8th street today but was too quick for me to get a pic.
oddly enough it didn't sound that great.

On the drive home yesterday I saw a black Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. And yes, the centers of the hubcaps really do stay motionless.

As I couldn't get a photo, this'll have to do:

I was out for a brief ride yesterday on the bike when I ran across an honest-to-god 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible. I couldn't believe it. Gotta love del ray!
