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.

Barrister has a reputation beyond repute

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.
