Not counting the cars seen at Schlumpf's museum, the past week:
Alfa Romeo Spider Series 2
Alfa Romeo Spider Series 4
Alfa Romeo 1750 (2000?) GTV
Aston Martin DB9
Aston Martin Vanquish S
Autobianchi Bianchina
Chevrolet Corvette C5
Chevrolet Camaro 2nd Gen
Citroen DS
Ferrari F430 Berlinetta
Fiat Nuova 500
Lamborghini Gallardo
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
Lancia Thesis (lots of them)
Maserati Quattroporte V (various)
Maserati Coupé 3200 GT
Maserati Coupe GT
Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG
Porsche 930 Turbo
Porsche 911 (996) Turbo
Porsche 911 997 (various)
Rolls-Royce Phantom
The past week I was in Maranello/Rome/Mulhouse (we did 3500km in 6 days :p) and I maganed to see all those cars and maybe a couple more that I can't remeber. I'd like to point out two things of the journey.
The first is the number of road signs reading "electronically controlled speed". At least 50 I'd say, but only 5 speed cameras, and hugely marked at that. No wonder italians drive massively fast... we did too... :p
And the second one is a 60-65 year old woman we encountered when leaving the car at the Rome hotel's car park. Would you want to guess which car she had? A Punto? A Panda... perhaps? No. A 190bhp V6 engined Alfa Romeo 166. That's the kind of woman that overtakes you in the motorway doing 150mph...
I love italians... :)
PS. I promise pics of some (and of the museum too) eventually.

One of the best places to visit, I'm going for my second time in a couple weeks.
Today on road an 850 CSi, 993 something special and some ****ing idiot in his ute racing out of a street, getting on the gas and fishtailing into another car coming in the other direction.

saw a 993 Turbo and the first Shelby GT500:D

Also an RS4, a 575M, a TVR of some sort, a Venturi of some sort, an M3 CSL, a Cayenne Turbo and a 997 Turbo.

Bastard. If you don't bring that thing down here, I'm coming up there and I'm going to slam your head in the door. Actually, that sounds like a pretty good idea anyway.

Well not today, but yesterday I almost sh!t my pants full when I saw 3 gallardos (including a yellow spider), 3 F430 spiders, and an orange murcielago with an awesome looking spoiler. These were all driving in a row. My region rarely or almost never sees cars of that calibre, so it was quite an overdose for me. I couldn't believe it.

Yeah I saw them, too. In Downtown Vancouver.
Guess what...there was a 900 BHP SALEEN S7 TT, too. Along with Lambos, Novitec Ferraris etc.
They drove from Calgary to Vancouver, and then to Okanagan (sp?) Valley.
I have pictures of all the cars there if anybody's interested to see.

Plymoth Prowler, Porsche 356 speedster, Jag E-type, and a Smart Car in Freeport, Maine.

I saw a little red electric car with Ferrari badges all over... :p
I didn't drive the Ferrari :( we could have raced.... :D

We just got back from a week at the beach. Sights from the past week:
- a blue Yugo hatchback
- a black and red two-tone Chrysler Prowler
- a brand-new red Ford Shelby GT500 convertible
- several classic American cars, including a primer-gray 1956 Chevy station wagon that we were behind for a while
EDIT: I forgot; I also saw a red Dodge Ram SRT-10 QuadCab. We were parked in the same parking lot, and the owner left just before we did. I got to hear it start up and drive off. Mmmm....
