Yet another hyper car set to hit the streets of Calgary soon. First one in Canada? Can't wait for the spotted threads to start showing up. However, since winter is near i doubt we'll be seeing this beast hit the streets until next spring.

second one in town... this one is a TT and was bought by the same dude who owns that new lambo murcielago convertible with the wing. hopefully he'll drive it on the streets, who knows though.

If it was two years ago, it wasn't a new TT S7, it would have been an older NA one. There's what, a ~250 HP difference?

I can't wait to see this in person! :drool:

the guy that owns the tellow Lambo convertible, and also has a 360 hardtop, and a 360 roadster.... owns the jewellery store on 17th ave and 12st.

Through the summer, his Ferrari(s) and or Lambo were always out there on the street. he also has a silver 2005 Viper. His wife drives them, he drives other ones... I have seen him and his wife driver the roadsters (Murc and 360) around downtown together, stopping traffic pretty much everywhere.

I'll watch for the S7, if it's the same guy... and snap some pix. Although with the weather like this, and getting colder... I have my doubts we'll see it much more this year.

Are you talking about Bernard that owns Calgary Jewellry? I have seen the yellow 360 spyder parked outside his shop a few times, but had no idea he owned all those whizzy cars. I just assumed to was a customers car,

I don't know his name, but the cars are parked there on a daily basis through the summer, and I have seen the owner of the place (Bernard?) and his wife driving the yelloe drop top 360 and the Lambo roadster. I've also seen him in the red 360 hardtop and the Silver Viper. In the summer... the guy is a pimp. bad hair piece, but a pimp never the less.

Maybe they're all customer cars, but if they are... he's got steady customers. lol
