    I also saw a giallo 360 coupe on 90 today and a black Gallardo coupe on Palatine around 6pm.

    Hey, that's my car!!

    In for fluid change, WAI solenoid, test pipes installed, and replacement of a leaking slave cylinder. It's taken a while as they had an issue getting the slave. If everything is buttoned up I will be picking it up this afternoon- Friday

    Norm, it was my pleasure meeting you today. You have a beautiful car and it sounds awesome with the test pipes!

    Did you make it home before the rain?

    Sparky, likewise...it's great to put a face to a name. Did not see any rain on the way home and it looks like a great weekend.

    See you soon

    Spotted within the last 24 hours:

    355 Spider
    430 GTB
    430 Spider
    2 Boxer
    Yellow Murcie
    Jag from the sixties
    911 from the sixties
    Masers
    Excalibur

    None of these were related, they were all random spottings on the road.

    Then I came upon this (2nd pic), which clearly tells you I'm no longer in the US: :)

    I spotted this beautiful car going N/B Main at Willow at around 2:30 today. I briefly talked with the driver and he says the it's a real 1965 Cobra. I don't know enough about them to doubt him, so I was impressed!

    Off globetrotting as usual I see!

    I was planning on a trip with my sister and brother-in-law for a cruise down the Rhine & Moselle but unfortunately I've been under the weather. They left Friday and here I sit.....

    Are you in CH?

    Apparently Wheaton is ground central for Cobras! I see this guy all the time and I know it's not real, but still very cool. This was this morning during the commute on Roosevelt Road.
