SportsCoupe Sightings...

I keep getting so caught off-guard that I forget to wave or flash the headlights each time I encounter another coupe...

Earlier this afternoon, I encountered a beautiful shiny black specimen on Parsonage Hill Road between Livingston and Millburn.

Anyone here on this forum recognize themselves?

Also, there's a black (obsidian, capri-blue?? real dark, okay?) one in or around Hamilton Park in Jersey City.

Not to mention the other Orion-Blue coupe (C-5, I think) parked in our apartment complex.

There seem to be a lot of pilots out there without an Internet connection...

I think we need MB World plate holders. I see cars all the time and I wonder of the driver is Nathan, Trench, Yvette, etc.

Cheers,

Beth

Yvette and I both have black coupes with whale tail plates you should be able to spot either one of us.

Hmmm... If 99 is "forever", then what is the number for "6 months"??

I saw a black one in SF recently, on Howard and 7th around 10-11 pm on April 13, but I didn't see the driver. I'll remember to look for the whale plate next time. I also saw a black one last Friday in Palo Alto - but there was a guy driving it. By the way, Beth, I saw a Capri blue one as well last week - the color looks pretty good on the coupe.

Cheers, BT

That could of been me on Howard, I think we saw a movie that night at the Sony theaters, but it was over a month ago, I really don't remember I've seen about 4 black coupes in the city with different drivers. Are you in the city or down on the Pennisula?I'm down in Palo Alto all the time because I'm on the board of a local non-profit there.

I have yet to see the coupe in Capri Blue, but I bet it looks great. I'm not paying $1000 for a color so MB and I will have to work something out for that to happen. Hopefully we can

Sorry, I didn't notice either, I was turning left from El Camino onto Galvez (by the stadium) and one turned left in from of me (from Embarcadero onto El Camino) - kind of took me by surprise, I didn't even have time to fire off a jaunty wave - or do the Mercedes nod.

Cheers, BT

Wouldn't you like to know?

For the record, Tommy is never going to get near me, let me tell ya. 2,800 miles is good: works/worked for Mom, Grandma, and Tommy. :p
