    Looks like the Diablo got new plates. Here's a shot of it from SCS last year:

    Wow, silver Ford GTX-1 on Clark and Congress yesterday mid afternoon. Sorry no pics, was in a building on the 5th floor at the time...but I thought worthy of a post.

    Probably belongs to a good friend of mine. He's got quite the collection.

    Here's a pic of the GTX-1

    Well, here's an action pic of our friend in the GTX One today in Wheaton! I actually met him last year as well. Very nice guy who remembered me from before and even asked about my son. It was easy to get the pic since he was backed up in traffic for a broken down car up ahead. You can see the people walking around in the middle of Roosevelt Road in the pic!

    It's a shame you couldn't hear it because it growlllllllllllls!

    I met him a few years ago at my club. Struck up a conversation regarding all the drama regarding the GTX-1...He was lucky to get a finished product from that shop

    I couldn't get a pic, but last night I was southbound on 94 approaching Kenosha on the way home and I saw a dark blue murci stopped at a equipment/antique car dealer. I'd never seen one dark blue. Couldn't tell what version or even if it was a roadster due to the angle and traffic :(

    Funny, I saw a Rolls at the Trump Tower when my family and I were in Chicago back in August last year... there was a Quattroporte there as well.
