Identifying a plane

There is a certain plane I'm trying to identify and I'm not sure who makes it. It's a 4 or 6 seat single engine. It sits high on its tricycle landing gear (higher than a C-172, but with low wings.) It may be retractable gear. The wing tips have pods and it has large windows. I have seen 2 of them, so I don't think it is a homebuilt.

I hope someone can help me identify this plane out of shear curiosity. It is unique by the way it sits so high--higher than a regular low wing single engine plane.

It's looks a lot like this one: http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=114077

In fact, it may be that one, but i'd need to see it from a different angle.

The more I look at that photo, I don't think that is the plane. The plane in question is higher off the ground than that and has alot more windows.

This is really bugging me....

It's a Cessna 310. The single engine part must have thrown everyone off. I could have sworn it was a single engine.......

Well, your description also fits the Navion, NA1. It's a single engine low wing with tip tanks and sits fairly high off the ground, even a bit higher than the older c310's.
