    I saw a nice gray 430 spider when I stopped for gas at the Shell station in Lake Bluff this morning

    I only took 1 picture at it was unusable

    The driver was a tech from the Lake Forest store

    He looked at the LC500 convertible and I saw his thought bubble pop up, why can’t Ferrari have a real Quality department?

    I was looking at their website, they got all formal with most of the staff wearing blue suits and red ties

    I was able to determine that the driver of the Roma I recently saw on the road was Nick Mancuso

    Good news, David Alexander at Continental says Ferrari is planning to offer a road going conversion kit for the SP 1 and 2 Monza's (I think that is ok to say). What an amazing road car it will be for those lucky enough to own one.

    You must have had a hot day in the Dino. Just keep this thought, if you go out and buy a mid 1970's 45 year old Japanese car the aircon won't work very well either, unless you replace everything with new parts. And it will rust twice as fast as the Dino :)

    Lake Forest Ferrari today. I talked to Rick and he said they would be by appointment for now due to the Illinois mask mandate. He was very nice to me as usual. He also said they would be racing the Greenwood Corvette soon. That is an amazing tribute car, very close to what the original looked like at Lemans in 1976.

    Grigio Alloy Roma at Continental Ferrari, very pretty color. Continental always surprises me with the amount of interesting cars they have for sale or in for service. You never know what to expect.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Do the folks in hoodies from Waukegan visit the stores in Hinsdale?
