    The F12tdf is a bit extreme in styling for my liking. Love the Dino though!

    I think those rear vents could be a lot better. Could have done so much more with them if they were relocated and reshaped. Also that black box around the exhaust is not very attractive.

    Could not agree more, looks like they got lazy with this one, worst execution of that type in years,IMO.
    I am convinced, LDM would never sign off on something like that.

    Appearantly yellow is the color to get. Was at the factory yesterday and Zanasi today; every single one was yellow (five).

    Spotted an orange barn find Miura in a trailer today. They didn't want any pictures taken, but hopefully Chicagoland will be seeing more of that car in the near future!

    Saw this three wheeled go cart at the light in LF today. I would guess it is registered as a motorcycle, but thought it was too fun not to share. Made me smile....

    The Morgan 3-Wheelers are registered as motorcycles but you can drive it during your motorcycle license test

    Great shot Andrew, best car ever made

    I was in Winnetka yesterday and saw what the owner claimed was a legit 59 250 Testa Rossa he claims he purchased in the 80s. Nothing about the car seemed extremely off and I can post some pics but I am no expert in identifying genuine classics. Anyone know of such a car in the area?

    Not surprising at all. Winnetka = old money. Let's see the pictures anyway!

    Not a genuine TR for sure. Most likely a rebody on a gte chassis..

    That is a Ferrari 12 cyl powered replica of a the TR. I've seen and heard the car in person, and it is very cool. But not a real TR. He is a very nice guy and has a nice collection of various makes. He recently sold one of my favorite replicas, the Norwood P4 #001 that was built for and owned by Marchetti.
