Just ran up to the Bell de Taco for a quick take home feast and had to laugh and share some snaps from the handy cell cam - all taken within five minutes of each other.

The two Z8s are both parked outside (and you can see some partials of the other nice rides parked outside) - makes you wonder what they keep in the garages, eh? These two are down the street from each other - I'd say 1/4 mile or so. Talked briefly to the first guy (with the hardtop and OEM rims) walking out of his house - he's CEO of Skechers and has lived up my street for a while - he had one a while back, sold it, regretted it and had to search a bit to get another one - I did not see Z8 owner #2. FYI: Skechers dude had no idea there was another on his street - go figure. I saw it coming up the street to the Bell and just had to tell him on the way back.

Then coming back home, the Grey M Coupe turning in front of me. Also saw a Silver M Roady passing me a block from home but could not snap a pic in time. This was a max two mile loop.

Pretty interesting few minutes - for my anyway...:redspot

Thanks for sharing. Does anyone know how many Z8's were brought to the US?

Not very many at $150,000 new. Most of them were roumored to have sat in the dealer show rooms

I had Z8 parked at front of my office for several years. It seems an owner just kept it here without driving. It disappeared recently, probably was sold.

Welcome to the beach cities and the peninsula. I saw an elderly lady driving a Z8 Alpina with the Alpina 20-inch wheels, a couple of Ferraris and a silver Carrera GT ... all these in/and around the village yesterday.
