    Heaven and Hell 2005 review was one of the best things I have ever seen on TV. I so love that show. I made my own DVD just to watch it over and over again. I was laughing tears when he banged up that product of corporate greed from Korea.

    Dark Blue/Tan interior Maser QP heading west on Lake-Cook near Deer Park. Must be just this dreary winter ( rainy? ) day as the car looked extremely ordinary. Regardless, still good to see something different on the road apart from mini-vans, Hondas, trucks and school buses.

    Saw a few more QPs in this area over the past week: one silver this time and the same blue one. Also in the area a few Spyder coupes: one might have been green, one a metallic black.

    One of my "Bone Doc's" has a new Silver/Burgundy Quattroporte. Along with a Black/Black 360 Spider. I believe that he lives downtown.

    Spotted: Lots of Be-yoo-t-ful Ferrari's and other Italian Exotics over at Continental today. Frankie and I stopped in there to look at a car for someone,but Lonny said that it was Sold last week. Oh Well....

    The Enzo has been dropped to $944K.....Hmmmmm.....just a tad short right now....:(

    The Silver Daytona Spider is still there. Looking good. Lonny said that they had re-done the dash and door panels,and that the whole car had been gone over. But,sad to say,as of right now,still a tad short on the $600K price....:( Maybe next year....:)

    Also,a nice,Silver Murcielago parked in their lot,too.

    Here's a somewhat unusual Ferrari spotting event:

    A few weeks ago I dropped the heads from my Maserati off at a machine shop for a valve job, and sitting in the shop was a disassembled Ferrari 365 V12. Something had broken in one of the cylinders and chewed up the inside of the head pretty badly. I was there again recently to drop off some parts and the Ferrari head was still there, so I got some pictures. The machinist said that believe it or not this can be fixed! Usually it would be cheaper and easier to just get a new head, but inasmuch as Ferrari 365 heads are fairly rare and expensive items this one will be repaired.

    If this belongs to anyone in our little community, you have my sympathy! On the other hand, I'd love to know the story behind this.

    Normally I try to keep my spotted posts related to Ferrari/Maser, but yesterday on Rt. 22 in Lincolnshire I saw a Maybach 62, the long wheelbase version? I've seen others ( 57? ) on the road and at gas stations, but this extended whale... wow. I'd say it shows as much "presence" on the road than the new Roller and to be honest, ( I have never been a fan of the car even after a demo ride showing me all the gadgets, ) the color scheme on this one really made it look sharp with a two tone silver.

    Took the Maranello out for a spin on Thursday, made a few kids happy to see such a car as it was around 3 and I guess they were walking home from school. Despite being started only once since my wedding in the summer, ran well apart from some small bits, ( heating and window closure. ) Hard to imagine that was a 55 degree day and just 28 hours later I was snowed in. Friday and Saturday I played nice and didn't drive the H2 which would have only compacted the snow and created an ice rink like unlike other bored drivers/neighbors did in their minivans to their best efforts. My street must have claimed two snow plows that night as the without success shredded their plows into nothing due to the compacted snow.

    Yelllow Z06 on rt. 22 in Lincolnshire. I really didn't think that the vents would do much but boy does it look impressive. I've only read the stats but now seeing the car on the road, not just a dealer, I would easilly rate it one of my favorite cars today.

    Just 10 minutes later, red 328 on rt. 22 in Lake Zurich.

    Another red 308. This one had one ugly aftermarket wing on the back. Just ridiculous, I hate it when people do that.
