[DeTomaso] Exotic spotter

I did not see this sooner!  Yes Mike, you remember that call!   Greg had 
picked up a break line retaining clip in one of his brand new-first  
trip-nipples still them 335/15 Pirrellis.............when you could still get  them.

You  would be correct.  The Countach was restored from the ground up by  the
owner, nicely done.  They drove up from Portland for the '05 or  '06 Seattle
Italian Concours.  This pic would have been taken when  they were en route 
at
some point.  The Countach didn't have an easy  time of the trip.  I got a
frantic call at 9:30 on the Friday evening  before the Sunday show as they
were on I-5 about 20 miles south of Seattle,  and the Countach had a flat
rear tire - the second one of the trip - and  they were wondering if I knew
where they could take the car to get the tire  fixed or replaced.
Thankfully, the return trip was without incident, but  he's never come back
to Seattle that I'm aware of.

Interesting side  note, we had our Chapter meeting at the LeMay museum in
Tacoma this  morning.  Panteras Northwest is also a club member of LeMay 
Club
Auto  http://www.lemaymuseum.org/page.php?id=77, which gives some  great
privileges at the museum.  When I pulled into the public parking  lot for 
the
meeting this morning, nestled between the minivans and Mustangs  was a
beautiful chrome yellow '67 Ferrari 330 GTC.  This was not a  totally sunny
day, either, with rain showers around the area, so it was  very cool to see
the Ferrari out and being driven.  Always been one of  my favorite cars.

I suspect  that is Ron Hyde and his Countach-owning  friend.

Hi  guys,

Got this from another PCNC member; it's a link to an 'exotic  spotter' 
website where people submit random photos of exotic cars they see  on the
road.   
Here's a white Countach in Seattle, wearing  Italian plates (from Turin).   

But the question is, who is  in the black Pantera following  behind?
