Spring Spotters Thread

Yesterday, I saw a red Lotus Elise and a red Ferrari 355 (I'm not sure because I didn't get a chance to see the car clearly). Also saw a blacked out Porsche Cayman which is pretty sweet!

 

Saw a neat orange with orange seats Murcielago roadster parked behind the Peninsula hotel this afternoon.

 

blk 355 spider spotted last night while my wife and I were on yellow ducati on rt. 53 turning right around maple(around @8:15pm) of course the top was down-great weather for a convertible.

 

Yellow 993 GT2 Rep. black wheels w/yellow lip...nice

New Mercedes ML63 in the neighborhood ...Simply disgusting!

 

V8 Vantage Northbrook court

Z8 Alpina on greenbay road / Elm street.

 

I saw a good one. Driving on I-94 near the Indiana border on Saturday morning I saw a Maserati Merak, in Burgundy, driving in the other direction. It looked cool enough, but then I noticed it was towing a matching trailer!! Anyone?

 

yellow gallardo on golf/algonquin on saturday around 3.

 

I love those! There's a black Merak in my neighborhood that I see from time to time. They're cheap to buy but I hear parts are impossible.

Apparently the owner of the one I saw has resolved that issue by trailering around his own spares.

 

My MB mechanic has an 8K 2 owner Delorian... in really nice shape!
Almost as rare as the Merak!

 

My friends dad has one with 2k miles....I don't know about the future, but its been to hell and back!


Saw a 60's dirty/old baby blue Ford GT40 in Rockton,IL...Looked real in the fact that the paint looked old! Jesus what a car!

 

red 348 spider in downtown naperville tonight

 

This afternoon, a new, Silvery/Blue Maserati Quattroporte at Butterfield Rd. and Meyers Rds in Lombard/Oakbrook.

Later, aroung 3PM-ish, a Red/Tan 355 Spider at Roosevelt Rd. & Meyers Rds. in Lombard.

Saw lots of old Hot Rods and Porsches out and about today. And a couple of old Corvette Convertibles....

 

Yesterday:

- Yellow 360 Spider at 5:45pm Southbound on LSD.

- Also some folks on Michigan Ave. reported seeing a red Daytona Spyder.

 

Hey Mike RPM, did you have some toys out today? We saw a Yellow 360 Modena, a Yellow Viper GTS and a Yellow Murcielago all parked over at Redstone on Butterfield Rd. in Oakbrook Terrace today at around 3PM. (On our way to the Gym.... ) It was weird but cool seeing 3 Yellow Exotics all parked together. Reminds me of Scottsdale, Arizona. Yellow Exotic Cars and Sportscars are big down there. I like that pearlescent Lamborghini Yellow.

 

4-29-07@3:15pm yellow 6.0 diablo going down 75th street towards rt.83(looked almost like a pearl yellow in the sunlight-very sharp car!!!!!)

 

Frank, It was me and my new crew.

 

Cool! Very cool! O.K., my son said that he saw a black Lambo too. I didn't, as I was coming up to that curve and had to watch the road. I just saw the yellow cars kind of, "Sticking Out". Well, then...It was nice to, uh, "see you", Carla! (Nice crew!!!.... )

Then this evening, when I was driving Junior back out to his mama's house in St. Charles. Red 430 eastbound on Butterfield Rd. by Yorktown in Lombard, 7PM-ish.

10 minutes later, Butterfield Rd. and Weisbrook in Warrenville. Red Viper RT/10 also headed eastbound.


Butterfield Rd. always seems to be a Hot Spot for Exotics. All of those nice restaraunts....

 

April 28: Ford GT40 on Riverside near I-90 in Rockford.

 

Was it a 'REAL' GT40, a kit or a newer Ford GT.

I doubt it was a real GT40!

 

Red 308 Saturday at Palatine and Kennecott.

Also Saturday, get this, a Nobel M400 parked at Frontier Park for a kid's soccer game! My son and I stopped to give it a once over. A VERY nice car in the flesh; pictures don't do it justice. And the guy was running slicks on it!


Ken

 

We, then spotted a certain landscaper in a Red F430!

 

Gerry!!!

 

Hey Frank,

Wasn't me; I had a Blue Gallardo this weekend that I took to one of my best friend's wedding. I have been seeing a TON of exotics on Butterfield. Just from this past Friday night to Sunday night I saw on Butterfield: Carla's Gallardo, Sonny's Murci, a red Murci, a Diablo, 2 Esprits, Elise, Maser Coupe, 4 Modenas, and a 360 spyder. And I wasn't even home much this weekend!!

Also saw a 348 spider in my rear view mirror in Naperville on my way to the wedding.

The weather is finally here!!!!

 

Hi Mike! Yeah, same here! I wasn't really out that much this weekend either. But every time that I did go out, we saw Exotic Cars on Butterfield Rd. Definitely a "Hot Spot" for Erotic Exotics....

Today around 5PM. Yellow Viper RT/10 Eastbound on Roosevelt Rd. at Ardmore Av. in Villa Park. That's 3 different Vipers in 2 days!
