    I've seen that Jag before also. There's a shop in the south side I believe that does these custom convertible jobs. I've see a Lexus LS and a 300C done up like that too from the same shop.

    Orange Gallardo coupe
    Yellow Gallardo Spyder
    Red F430 Spider
    Tons of Bentleys

    Probably, but she wasn't in the car since her flag wasn't raised! ;)

    Whenever the Queen is residing at one of her palaces, or is riding in one of her vehicles, the flag of her monarchy is unfurled. :D

    Last night around 8 PM on the Edens I heard what sounded like an indy car coming up behind me. A very loud and fast red Carrera GT with dealer plates (photo below). The sharp loud shifts from that car were unbelievable.

    Reminded me of the famous Brian Zuk Carerra GT video below (over 3 million views):

    Mike,

    No choice the red 360 coupe was racing me for a good 30+ miles all the way to Lake Forest. Was it you? Your very loud Tubi or Capristo sounded amazing! Do you always ride the shoulder?
    Really the loudest was my wife screaming at me, but later said she like it...

    Geno.

    I definitely saw the 360. :)

    I am sure any shoulder riding was unintentional.

    PM sent.

    :eek: This is the pinnacle of cars for me! There's a doctor in the town I work in that has one. Every weekend, I make sure to get a couple of passes by his house in case he's getting ready to take her out! I would sell my soul for a ride in one!!!

    To each his own. To me it is one of the coolest cars of all time and an icon of the eighties. But pinnacle? Nah, there are better ones. And not necessarily Ferraris (nor Lamborghini).

    Absolutely there are better cars, faster cars, etc. etc. But, to me, this is the car that makes me weak in the knees! This is the car that made me love cars and want to work hard. I'll never own one, but I'll always dream of owning one. This is the car that gets a pass from me just for seeing it (within reason ;) )
