I can only imagine his collection.

Looks just like this ... very similar, especially in silver!

Mystery solved!

The Mosler that was at Monterey showed up two weeks later at Cars and Coffee, OC.

That's it E! My pal took one look at those shots and said that was the very car he saw. Great eye!

Too bad it wasn't a McLaren. If it had been, it would have probably received a 25 second penalty for absolutely no reason (F1 reference from the disgrace this past weekend at Spa).

Thanks!

There was a silver McLaren at the Sun River Festival of cars in Oregon a few weeks ago. Pretty cool. From my understanding he took it on the run the next day and it broke down or ran out of gas...something like that. He was a very nice guy, lives back east someplace and his car was stunning in person.

Second one I've seen here in Oregon, the other one was blue.
