Back in the 1970s, they had "Panther Pink" which was quite a nice colour.

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

^ Love the GT!  :drool:

Parked beside this Slingshot on the weekend.  Bigger than i thought they were, and the centre of gravity seems a little on the high side by the looks of things as well.  Don't really see the point of these things, but i do see a few around, so some find them interesting. I bet the novelty wears off real quickly though. :-\

Damn... your Z3 looks great.
Agree with you that Slingshot would get old fast.

Yes, the Z3 looks great!  Saw what was either a Dino 246 or a replica heading east on the 417 near Carp while I was heading west...

No pics because SWMBO was with me, but here it goes:

Driving my youngest + neighbour kid to archery practice with my pressie Civic, Friday evening. The outdoor practice area is behind a trendy restaurant complex, the type of place that does valet parking even though there's plenty of free parking, just because people with money enjoy doing that.

They always have interesting metal there, and since we go there often, we noticed that the black Maserati 'vert, black C7 'vert and white Model S are probably staff, since they're always there. But this time, next to the Maser in a private sport behind the building, was a red 488 spyder with a QC-issued temp plate on it. So brand-new. And driving out of there we crossed what was either a real, or a really good copy, of a '68 Shelby GT500 KR, complete with race-style front-end. And smelling of raw, unburned fuel as it drove by.

This place should do a cars & coffee (using prime espresso grinds, of course).

Not really seen on the wknd, but close enough.

I saw a stunningly gorgeous Volvo V-90 T6 R this afternoon. It was brilliant Red in colour, and the colour suited it to a "T" (pardon the pun). The shape was wagon-est square, which looked so unique in this day and age of jelly bean aero designs. The car really hugged the ground, but it didn't look aftermarket lowered. After checking a few websites, I gather it was stock. Interesting observation, but the outside mirrors were silver coloured. I thought it strange, and wondered it they were aftermarket and unpainted. But again, after checking online, the silver coloured mirrors are stock. Looked weird. You would expect the mirrors to be body colour.

This is a car I could really love . . , if I won the lottery. Very distinctive, yet classy.

damn nice metal there, Merivale road Friday nights? Must go sometime...
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.
