    Time to start a new thread for this year's Great Lakes and Chicago events. Any sportscar related event you hear about in the region please feel free to post.

    It looks like Stellantis will not be attending the Chicago Auto show or any other North American auto shows in 2024, so no Maserati or Alfa Romeo. Mercedes already missed. I think auto shows will be completely dead soon unless the dealers take over the displays. Since dealer franchises are being sold back to the manufactures at a fast pace, I doubt that will happen.

    Will post Fuelfed events soon.

    Happy New Year :cool:

    Is that an 037? I’ve never seen one in person.

    Phenomenal day for the event
    I brought my Gen 2 NSX
    Guy at the desk was a prick, wouldn't even take my $20 and told me to park at the edge of the lot next to the Nissan (which was an Acura TL)
    A guy with an unreal 356 restomod was next to me
    Super cool folks to talk with
    Great way to start the season

    Great pics. I didn’t realize that was your son Andrew, I would have offered him free vintage car books as well.

    Thanks John, I forgot to introduce myself! He was so happy to have sat in your 365, it made his day! Next one I'll definitely make sure I introduce myself!

    The 365 was a couple of cars from me.
    Great to see a car that has been driven and enjoyed for decades
    What a turnout, I saw that 812 GTS on the way out of town
    Missed the Gen 1 NSX, so may great cars on the overflow lot (err, street parking)
    The guy who is exiting his 612 OTO had a nice spot for his lovely example

    Nice turn out on a great weather day. They usually start bringing out the old cars in May and June. This weather was a surprise. I saw an Alvis Speed, not sure of the year but maybe a 1936 heading to Geneva yesterday on Bliss/Fabyan road, and the owner says he is a member of Fuelfed.

    No, I moved out to the western suburbs. I love it out here. Nice streets, big houses and less potholes. To long a drive to Lake Forest for that little noise maker.
