    I can't believe no one has spotted something good enough to post in 2012. Yesterday I finally saw something worthy of a post, a black Rolls Royce Ghost in a parking lot in Brentwood. There was a shopping cart resting against it. Let's hope for some better weather so we can see some good cars out there

    That is awesome..and incredibly awesome that he did donuts for you. Very nice pictures.

    I don't post here often anymore because so few STL members remain on here. Most all of the members moved to Ferrari Life and that is where I post all of my current spots because people actually see it

    Aside from the Mosler, last time I was down I saw a Blue Aston V8 Vantage, Silver Bentley Supersports, Renntech 997 Porsche, and more AMG Mercedes' than I can count.

    Nice. Looks like Dean Team now has an '11 SL63 AMG on their lot. I saw a CL AMG with Dean Team dealer tags when I dined at Fleming's last weekend; they really get a wide array of nice cars in their pre-owned inventory there.

    And while I was out Friday night on a run from the city to Frontenac and back through Clayton and the Galleria area, I saw no less than four Bentley Continental GTs. They have become too common to be mentioned as spots on other regional forums, so I guess St. Louis has finally reached a similar saturation point as far as Conti GTs are concerned. They may be increasingly common, but I still enjoy seeing them, and it's still a great design.

    I had to say something- this spotter's thread is dead. I guess everyone here settled into life at the other forum and didn't look back!

    I was in Edwardsville for the SIUE game vs. NIU Saturday. Despite SIUE's record, it was a great game as the Cougars came from 11 points down and won by 2 points at the buzzer!

    Anyway, when I was looking for a place to park for a post-game meal downtown, as I circled around, I noticed someone's beautiful black 458 Italia parked behind their office, and I pulled into the lot long enough to give my son a chance to get a closer look. My son likes all kinds of cars, but I think he has great taste, because he agrees with me that the 458 is one of the most beautiful cars available for sale now. Enjoy that great car, Randy!

    This wasn't technically a spot, but later in the evening when I was in Kirkwood, I saw my first 991 in person on the Parktown lot, a black Carrera S. I didn't want to like it as much as the 997 because I think the 997 is such a balanced design and a nice modern interpretation of the classic 911 shape. But I warmed up to the 991 immediately- it looked very nice in my opinion. The early verdicts I've seen have all been very positive; it will be interesting to see what Porsche owners think once they start driving these cars off the lot. If the Carrera S is this good, the inevitable Turbo and GT/RS versions are going to be quite interesting!

    I just came across this thread last night and am now truly excited for many reasons..1 now i have a idea of who is out and about in the ferrari world in the saint louis and surrounding areas, and 2 hope to meet up with some other owners in the area! I spotted what looked to be a 82', or 83' 308 this morning right outside of Millstadt,IL i decided to take the lotus out for a spin and low'n and behold a 308 passed me going southbound. It will be just a few more days till i get the 512 boxer out but if anyone in the saint louis area would like to meet sometime let me know!
    Thanks Schiff

    Cliff,

    No knowledge of a real one or a replica in the area. Maybe it will show up next week at Frontenac.

    Just moved here from DFW and I'm quite impressed with number of exotics I've seen so far in the Creve Coeur area. Just in one week I've spotted a 246 Dino, 599 GTB, and Gallardo all on Olive Blvd.

    I second the point about Conti GT's, see them everywhere.

    Cool, I'm in the Olive and Lindbergh area. There is a dinner coming up in a few weeks that Jeff is organizing, on the other side of the river, at Erato. Come out and meet some of the guys.

    It is not a dinner - an afternoon gathering. Certain that Randy won't mind having people decide to stay longer and purchase dinner though.
