Winter Spotters

Was at my aunt's house in DeKalb yesterday and their neighbor owns a Porsche 911 Carrera. I don't know if you guys still consider that an exotic.

 

Saw a new silver Audi S6 yesterday here in streeterville. It looks very unemarkable - even for a subtle hot rod from Audi. Maybe the RS6 will be better.

 

Around 1:45 there was a Maybach, Flying Spur, and Qport within 10 seconds of eachother at Willow and Shermer Rd. in Glenview.

 

Beautiful Black Esprit near Rockford, IL...It was almost dark outside, but It looked great and sounded the part!

 

Red 360 spider going north on 31 south of Richmond on Sunday.... if you're on this site, I was the guy who waved on the bike

 

Not exactly "exotic" but rare, and lots of HP
new S65 on 94 today.... why not get the Bently if you are spending that kind of dough? Granted, the AMGs are incredible machines...

 

Saw a S65 too today in Oak Brook. And about 5 minutes later, the new CL550.

 

Well, we were out in Scottsdale, Arizona for the past 2 weeks. VERY disappointing as for any "Exotics" out and about on the street...

We arrived Tuesday, December 26th in the AM. And within an hour, we saw an older lady coming into the parkling lot at the Restaraunt that we were at in a Silver 360 Spider with a Dark Blue top. I thought "WOW! A Ferrari within the first hour! This trip should be great!" That ended up being the ONLY Ferrari that we saw out on the street that whole trip! (2 weeks before all of the Arizona auctions, BTW....) We saw a very cool "Sublime" colored '71 Plymouth GTX just around the corner at Scottsdale Rd. & Lincoln Av. But as far as Exotic Cars....Nothing! NOTHING!!! LOTS of Porsches and new C6 Corvettes, (Not " 'Exotic' Cars" IMO.... But 'Sportscars'....)

We stopped at "Motorsports of Scottsdale" Exotic Car and Lamborghini dealer. Great place! Awesome Black Murcielago Spider. Orange Gallardo Spyder. Silver Diablo Roadster. A Few Ferrari's, and 2 Spyker Spyders, which are Very Cool....but very small...( I'll post some pix.)

We also stopped by a small place called "the Toy Box" They had a few cool cars, including a Brand New looking Maserati Mistral, absolutely Spotless Black with a brand new looking original interior....And...it had a 289 COBRA engine in it!

We stopped by Ferrari of Scottsdale. They had a couple 430's, including a Spider. But no older Ferrari's.

But I didn't get a chance to stop by Scottsdale Lotus. They have a new location, and always have a great selection of Exotics. Next trip.

I also found a place that rents Motorcycles there. Yeah, there are a few of them around that do, but this place had everything from Dirt Bikes, Sand rails, 4 wheel ATV's, Harleys-everything from a new Night Train, to Full Baggers, Super Custom Choppers, BMW Full Dressers....everything! If anyone is going out there, let me know and I will give you their info. Quite reasonably priced, too!

Oh well...Maybe this week and next, some the Exotic Cars will all be out driving around with Barrett-Jackson, R&M, and all of the other Arizona Auctions going on....But most likely the Old Cars, Classics, Muscle cars, etc...

BTW.....I got a "Barrett-Jackson sneak peek" in one of my Monthly's last month.....only 4 Ferrari's up for auction! And, nothing "exciting" either.

R&M Auctions has 2 "Norwood" 288 GTO's, including a land speed record holder, and Bob Norwoods personal car.

 

Friday am,3 Flying Spurs in opposite directions (2 vs 1) on Westleigh in Lake Forest.
Close behind,a Silver Carrera GT.
I was just scratching my head,with these super expensive cars more popular then your typical Accord or Camry here....

 

Maybe silly but at least everyone who doesn't know how to count to 4, will know the number of doors in that car.

 

Here'e an early one. Saw one on Thursday.

Good time to buy one... several biturbo's around, all for 3-6K

 

RR Phantom in front of The Drake Hotel, Sunday morning.

 

A Flying Spur I see all of the time on Willow Rd. Anyones?

 

If it's Saphire Blue with Mulliner wheels then it's my wife...

I like that color! But no, this is Moonbeam.

 

I had a dentist appointment today in Bloomingdale and I saw this Bentley Continental GT pass by. Color was light blue.

 

Saw an old RR (mid 70s / early 80s?) blue with dark blue vinyl roof. Also saw a yellow Gallardo south bound on LSD this evening. Some loud dark blue 997? with a large wing - maybe a GT3? North bound on LSD just before I saw the Gallardo.
