    OMG That is UNREAL. I can't believe how good that looks!


    Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with you on that one. :)

    If I'm not mistaken the owner has one that's all candy apple red as well.

    The only person I know that would have something like that has the initials GL. Is that whom you speak of?

    Actually I believe MF owns it. I have a pic that I haven't posted yet that has his yellow RR, white California, Red 458, white Ghost, and Burgundy SLS. I saw him in downtown Carmel guiding the drivers to park them all next to each other.

    If true, "Bijan" is a fraud that lacks any visually attractive taste in artistic forms.

    If he's successful in his work, it's only because he commands high prices for his products. Some people will buy anything if it is, or looks expensive. Last night, saw a girl at a club carrying an over-the -shoulder purse with a gigantic 'Coco Channel' logo on it. It was obvious it was a knock-off and the girl should have been embarrassed, but obviously she thought she would impress people who thought it was real!

    Just say'in,
    Sparky

    Correct.
    Car is always parked in front of BIJAN store on Rodeo.
    Previously it was a Giallo 430 Spider and before Ferrari it was a similarly Yellow Phantom sedan.
    I remember in the 80's he had a Black Phantom ,one of the last "real" ones,also always parked there.

    First the Carrera GT and now this! I just sat and talked to the owner of this car for awhile. It's an Excalibur Cobra based a Ford Mustang GT. Apparently the Excalibur company made around 130 of these cars which they sold in Ford-Lincoln-Mercury dealers. While talking to this gentleman, who has lived in my hometown of Wheaton forever, I learned that Porsche racer Hurley Haywood lived in Wheaton as well when I was growing up! He told me all kinds of stories about Hurley and his family. This gentleman even lent his Corvette to Hurley to drive and Haywood loved it so much, he bought one the next day which he took to Sebring and met Peter Gregg (who signed him). What a spot!!

    Orange LP 670-4 SuperVeloce heading north over the river on LaSalle. Stuck in traffic and construction, but still managed to make a horrendous amount of noise. (Good, rev-happy noise, but a bit overkill for how fast he/she was actually going.)

    No such thing as overkill in a Lamborghini. ;)

    I'm not 100% positive but I'm pretty sure it's MFs. I saw him at Quail where the car was parked, Bijan is yellow/tan I think, his is yellow/yellow

    I passed a red F355 spider from oncoming traffic in Volo while driving home in my F355 GTS.

    Again, too slow on the phone camera.
