    Ok my friend saw a black lamborghini with black rims. He wasn't sure of the model, but said it looked like a newer one & a blonde female was driving it. It got off of I-55 & was heading into town towards Dirksen . Anyone have any idea of what kind it might be & if it from around here?

    I think that was my wife in the Mclaren

    She picked up my daughter from the airport around 4:30 and took I-55

    If she was headed south there should of been 2 blonds in the car North would of been just her.

    Ok I sent my friend all different types of models and he said he is pretty positive it was an Aventador. I think he is crazy, but if it was then great spot! Anyone know if that's what it could have been?

    I heard he is getting a silver 2007, I hope to see it in the spring at the gatherings. On Sunday I saw an older viper gts at Tilted Kilt & one of the Bentleys at Petsmart. They were both very nice looking. Then Scott said he took both of his cars out for a ride & said he saw you in the Mosler. You two must have a secret place you go lol I saw a black Tesla Model S on the interstate this morning, it was sharp looking. I have seen a different one at one of the doctor's offices awhile back.

    Best? Well, we see 5000 cars a year so...

    Best racecar? We built a Porsche 993 club racer (non-street) and a E30 M3 that drove really well. In fact we have built lots of them. They were/are all very good - many of them past championship cars & lap record holders.

    Best Supercar? Lots of those are best. Had in a superb 550 Marenello that caught my eye (show worthy), a memorable supercharged NSX, Gallardo's (fun to drive), Ford GT (what can I say?), we built the 612 Scag that landed on the cover of FORZA magazine (612 HP and zero to 60 in 3 seconds). I custom did the worlds only Ferrari performance rear axle ratio myself for that one. Its a stunner. We still build the fastest Cent IL street turbo Porsche's - period. And those are favs.

    Best posh? We had a Bentley W12 turbo cab in the other day. Tan on tan. The car is sublime. Probably the most posh around. But we see lots of Rollers & big body Benzes all 800 ft.lbs of torque & yummy.

    Best vintage? We have Gullwing clients, and right now we are finishing up a full frame off on a MGTD that has really caught a lot of attention. I still lean towards the early Porsche stuff, both 356 & short wheelbase 9'ers are faves.

    Best Custom? We helped with a RX7 with a LS7 that is mind-bending (read dangerous). We did a blown 392 Stroker Hemi in a Wrangler with a 90 shot of spray and a custom 6 speed (wheely machine) that recently ended up on the cover of a four wheel magazine (and we dont do domestics). Did a 300ZTT that was/is over the moon. My personal 944 with a blown V8 is one of our staffs faves...

    Best daily? Audi? BMW? Jag? VW? Acura? Lexus? Saab? Rover? Lots of those are faves.

    Had a twin engine Lamborghini cigarette boat in (needed 24 carbs synched).

    Had in a VW Kubelwagen (German army vehicle) that was mesmerizing...

    Hard to pick.

    So... Best?

    Well... I would have to say - the next one :)

    He lives at the mall because he owns La Nails in the mall. He also got a different Bentley, which looks a little better than his other one.

    Just a beautiful car, I will have one some day and hopefully a Ferrari too!

    I saw the second Bentley parked downtown once and haven't seen it again. I'm pretty sure it was a brand new black one. Anyone know if it is still around and what he does?

    I hope someone can get them to come to the meets when they start up again.
