    I saw a silver/mocha Carrera GT, a Maserati QP (can't remember the color) parked in the East Bank Club parking lot. There's usually a lot of nice cars in the lot including Porsche 997 Turbos, 430 spiders, Aston Martin Vantage V8s etc.

    I also saw a Black/black SL black series coupe. It was parked in front of the blockbusters on Madison x Morgan in the West Loop.

    Ferrari 430 Scuderia black/grey stripe. Turning east on Dundee from sanders in Northbrook at 5:45. Second gear sounded almost as good as an F1 car. Almost.

    I saw a 62 a few years ago in the Motorwerks lot with Florida plates on it as well. Wonder if it's the same one..

    Dan, I did a little bit of research, and found that Alpina has nothing to do with the car, its a joint venture between "Automobili Lamborghini SpA and Alpine Car Audio". Here is a link with some info...

    Also, have any more pics of it?

    Awesome spot in Glenview around 6:45. It was a black Lamborghini Diablo Roadster! I've only seen one before in California, these roadsters are super rare. On top of that, it had black Forigato rims. Ron, I blame you. :D Was this thing at your shop? Such an insane car!
