    Yesterday around 4:45 heading north on 294 a immaculate silver '60s Ferrari GTB. Beautiful car, looked like it just rolled off assembly line.

    I honestly don't remember, but I do remember a Maybach with FL plates at Motorwerks when I was there maybe 5 years ago.

    Grigio silverstone/cuoio F430 in Wrigley and a red LP560-4 and blk Phantom at the triangle. And of course the superleggera but that's just cheating. May as well say I spotted a Ferrari at LFSC :)

    That's probably it, I'll post pics later. I think I've seen it before at Dengeo's.

    Today in Evanston, downtown, around 6:30, a red Lotus Elan S1! Wow, beautiful condition, kinda loud, too! Nice! My first!

    There is? Awesome! Are those the ones from the 1960s? Or are they like replicas or something?

    Superformance is a South African company that makes the world's best GT40 replicas. They have something like 90+% parts interchangeable with the original. Plus some (hidden) creature comfort like A/C. They ship the chassis to the States where you have to mate it with the appropriate engine (thereby avoiding modern car DOT regulations).

    Here a couple pics of Daryl's GT40 at a VA event.
