    You saw these cars in Schiller Park???? I used to work in Schiller Park. Well, it was a long time ago...late '80's in to the early '90's. But I just can't fathom where/why there would be cars like that anywhere in Schiller Park....Although, I suppose that things could have changed there in the past 12 years since I've been there...Enlighten me, Rocketboy.....:)

    You're right Vince. Guy I was talking to about the race was wearing the latest Puma shirt and was so historically inclined he talked about GV being the racer he followed the most due to old news print... Even before the fall of the Iron Curtain, F1 was one of the few capitalist type activities well known which surprised me thinking it would rather be club soccer, at least in the case of this Bulgarian I met. Today all the ads we see on the cars are geared to a Euro audience no matter the locale. The guy told me F1 kind of flew under the radar in the past and once the governments and economy changed, the media hype surrounding the Scuderia just made it that much easier to follow.

    I was just as surprised. But my spot is more of a cheat as the DB9 and M5 were at a restuarant and I could guess their owners were not from the area. M5 owner was the Ferrari fan mentioned in my previous post and started a conversation up with me in broken English once he saw my Maser jacket. However, the Gallardo was just down the street at an ordinary looking apartment/home, ( forgot the name of the three level story homes that could be converted to apartments that cover the NW side. ) Just seeing the pot holed street made me wonder what the Lambo felt like trying to cruise out of there. All these cars on or near Irving Park rd amongst ordinary Fords and Chevys, small shops, and bungalow neighborhoods. A very interesting location I agree.

    Yeah, I grew up in Elmhurst, so, I am very familiar with all of those towns. One of my Uncles bought his first house in Clarendon Hills when he first got married back in 1970. Did you know that the great Blues Legend, Muddy Waters lived in Westmont before he passed away?

    When I first discovered Continental, back in the mid 1970's. It was as we passed it going eastbound on Ogden Av. to go and party all day long at Bemis Woods-South. Ahh, yes, those were the days....;)

    Bemis Woods. Busse Woods. They were all packed every day during the Summer, and every weekend the rest of the year.

    The kids these days don't do that. I am surprised. It used to be, that if you didn't get in and parked by 10-11AM on a Weekend day. Or in the Summer. You couldn't get in. Now, I don't think anybody does that anymore. I've been out driving, and once in awhile, cruise through there for memory sake. And, there are just a few Hard Core Burnouts left that still go there. Maybe a dozen. And, some weirdo's backed into parking spaces by themselves....I don't EVEN wanna know what they're up to...:(

    Half hour ago saw a white S550 with dealer plates.
    I have seen one other one in black, and this one in white just looks sick. I really can't explain how nice it looks. Riding along on during the day with sun, man looked beautiful.

    Also saw a yellow H1 on the northside of chitown last night.

    btw i also live in clarendon hills right by ogden and 83

    Yellow Gallardo at 1pm on Irving park pulling into one of the tuning shops. I guess I'm not the only one using their service. :)

    Later a Viper nailed by three state troopers on I294. Felt sorry for the guy.

    Muddy lived in an Apartment building in Westmont, not a house.

    The entrance for Bemis Woods south is located on the North side of Ogden Av., about 1/4 mile or so West of Wolf Rd.
