    I have no issue with you posting pics from their store. I have had my eye on that blue/tan 360 spider for what seems like several months now at LFF and a beautiful 612 at CF!

    Hammer Wagon at Fuelfed a couple weeks back. Just not entirely sure what qualifies as a Hammer. This is a SOHC 6.0 V8 car converted back in the 80's.

    Wow, they have some cool cars down at Continental! The white SF90 is a beaut. I wonder if they ever get any F430s in these days...o_O

    OK, the GT is not the most loved of all McLaren offerings but if someone parks one in my neighborhood (N Broadway a couple of blocks S of W. Addison) might as well post it.

    Matt black Laf. Impossible to take a photo once they removed the cover. People were just glued to it.

    Saw this today at LFF. The only reason I got the photo was because the service door was wide open. They are still the same and I am not sure why. I think the policy will end up hurting them in the long run.

    Access to the dealership still by appointment only...

    Yes it will hurt them in the long run. As will being a one car only dealership. I can see them ditching Lotus & McLaren. But Aston-Martin?

    My god, they were one of the original eight Aston dealerships in the country.

    I don't get it.

    Also saw a dark blue Porsche 918 and Ferrari Portofino on Town Line Road following each other. I was not going to LFF as I have other car friends around the area but decided to stop in. They still have alot of cars outside to look at but no one in the door without an appointment. I know of atleast one person who will never buy a Ferrari from them unless they change.

    I was confused when they sold off the other marques, but do they look hurting?
    Yes, it would be nice to stroll in at lunchtime, but like I have said for a while does having the Waukegan crowd add to business or business risk?

    The fact is that they have a top aspirational toy brand with an enormous sub one percent customer base that runs from Chicago and up the wherever the money runs dry in WI.

    I thought they still have Koenigsegg but it was more like the secret menu at in and out burger.
