Midwest Spotter's thread

So I was driving down 119th across Metcalf when I see something black in the left turn lane to my right. I dont think much of it till it hits me...599 GTB. I lost my digital camera a few weeks ago, so of course this was the reason to go buy a new one, so I went to BB and got one...so luckily I got pics of the first 599 in KC. The driver was a nice guy, he said he got it back in November. Started it up and reved it...AMAZING sound. I never thought this was that great of a Ferrari from the pics, but once you see one in person its one of the most beautiful cars ever. Enjoy...

Saw a nice red 308 in Lee's Summit idling outside a business. The owner was either busy or didn't want to talk much, I would've liked to hear more about the car than he was willing to say.

 

the bentleys werre out today!
i saw an arnage and a continental flying spur up at plaza frontenac, and my neighbor was rolling around in his cgt. i also saw an h1 up at frontenac, i'll post pics once i get back from visiting my mom in the hospital, could be a while, but i do have pics of them.

 

Scott,

How is your mom doing? Hope things are coming along well.

Steve

the h1 and the blurry pic is an older body style viper i saw a couple of nights ago, sry for the crappy pic. i just got news that they're going to try to get my mom up and walking for a little bit tonight, but i don't know how successful that will be, but i'm guessing that's a pretty good sign.

Nice pics, cept the viper, I can make it out tho. Good luck to your mom also.

 

thanks. i tried using a different feature on my camera for the viper, and obviously it didn't work out too well. my mom's a lot more alert now, they're saying she's been recovering very well, and we should get the full report back this coming thursday, to make sure they got everything, so now it's kind of hurry up and wait. they haven't set a discharge time yet, but we've been told quite possibly sunday, so it seems as though everything is going well.

 

red 328 in downtown st louis today, illinois plates (gtsi 328 on plate), driven by a greying male with a female. Was on 13th/tucker near the scottrrade center

 

Saw the new convertible Bently Continental today out in St. Charles at the intersection of Salt Lick and Mexico. I was really surprised to see it out here. It was dark blue with blue soft top. Beautiful car. Anybody know who's it might be?

 

no clue who's it might be. i saw a phantom parked at bristol's bar and grill (olive and 270) it's definitely nice that the weather is starting to get a little better, people are getting out and driving.

 

saw a nice mondial t all over the place yesterday. thanks again dave!

 

i saw that car also in clayton on sunday,very clean!

 

Thanx I appreciate the compliments on Sera as im sure she loves em to.

I owed Scott a ride/drive and it was a hellova nice day. We took a jaunt all over town. The best part for me was the Fcar in the tunnel under the Lambert Airport runway..sounded a little like the chicane at Monte Carlo. I highly recommend the tunnel..too bad the speed limit is so low in that area..it could be quite a rush.

If I would thought of it Scott, you shoulda got a pix with Sera. There will be more times. I'll try not to be a stanger to events in St. Louis.

 

i'm sure i'll see her around town again! im still astonished by the sound going through that tunnel!

 

Was out in the 308 last week and saw a really nice yellow 360 conv. around
141 and Olive..my wife has seen the car a few times in the last few weeks
around the same area...thatsa nice !!!

 

probably the same one i see around all the time, last time i saw it was a couple days ago, it was pulling onto 270 north from manchester. that car is yellow, not!

 

I've also seen a yellow 360 spider around the Chesterfield area as of late - it was the one Lynch Hummer sold if any one had seen it. This one has the factory upgraded modular wheels and the factory racing seats with yellow stitching. It's a stunning car to say the least!
