Summer Spotters

LOL at these comments. You guys crack me up! Thank you (in more than one way)!!!

 

Saw a white Scuderia driving down Michigan Ave last night around 11:30-12 midnight....my guess someone on this board?

 

I saw a white Scuderia today on Michigan Avenue near Ontario. It was my first one. No pictures, unfortunately. Maybe it was the same one?

I also saw about 4 or 5 Bentleys, Aston Martin Vantage, BMW Z8, and a Saleen Mustang... I LOVE CHICAGO!!!! lol. More spots to come tonight hopefully...

8/14/09:

I'll try and describe the location as best as I can. I'm still getting familar with the area...

Bentley Flying Spur on Michigan Avenue near Ontario.

Bentley Continental GTC near The Peninsula (I think).

Bentley Continental GT near Ralph Lauren.

Aston Martin Vantage Roadster near Millenium Park.

Lamborghini LP640 Roadster on State Street (I think).

Aston Martin DB9 Volante parked on Rush Street.

Bentley Continental GTC parked on Rush Street.

Another Bentley Continental GTC parked on Rush Street about 8 spots away from the other one.

And many other cars that I could not get a picture of...

Anyone from here?

Bentley Continentals have become so passe'. They're like Mustangs and Corvettes.......you'll see many of them on a daily basis.

Unfortunately, they've lost their uniqueness.

 

Yea...

After I saw my fourth or fifth one, I said jokingly to my parents that I was going to stop taking pictures of them... now I'm really considering it...lol.

Just now: A Bordeaux (?) Gallardo southbound on LSD.

Looked nifty, never saw that color on any Lambo. I'm sure it has a fine Italian name, but to me it looked like Bordeaux metallic.

 

Like this color?

Maybe. In the overcast sky this morning it looked even darker. Like red wine, but shiny.

Spotted this morning: Dark blue metallic Elise on N-LSD.

 

A Red California last night in front of Blackbird.
Sorry ,this car just does not raise my heart rate any beat.

 

Drive one and see what you feel. I loved it a great deal more from the inside. It goes like gang busters.

I think we have to accept it as a cash producing car for all the yuppies who care more about ipods, climate control, GPS and automatic roofs than Pininfarina's lines. For the less aesthetically challenged there is the new 458.

 

thats rosso vik.....another one of those lambo colors that is an absolute beast to blend.....Screw Vik and his tinted paint!

 

Haha, thanks for clarifying.

 

Not Ferrari or Lambo cars, but these were in the rain at about 4:30pm today in Woodridge.

1951 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn and a 1939 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty. Beautiful cars!

 

Great spot.

 

One of these perhaps? The other one is called Viola Ophelia.

Ferrari 355 Spider on Lake this morning. Red. Top was Up.

 

If it was a white Silver Dawn drop-head, it had to be my friend Robert's. It's the only one I know of in the area.

Great car and a great guy!

 

The first one, Rosso Metis.

PS: Haven't spotted any exotics here in Switzerland so far, but lots of cars I have never seen anywhere. So all "exotics' to me.

 

At the top of my list of places to visit..

 

You know, I think you'll have access to Flickr in Switzerland. Post some pictures!

 

Andreas, you're back home now for a visit?

 

Red Mondial Cab. on Montrose near LSD.

 

On Sunday(8/16)@10:05am on I-355 North-(Homer Glen area)-a red 355 spyder and a red 430 spyder (both tops down) driving together side by side-great to see!!!

 

Yesterday afternoon, Palma de Mallorca:
