458 again today in Peoria. Very nice day for cars!
The Scud sure got dirty during the weekend drive, but at least I only have one car to clean! I think people were surprised to see us driving on the messy roads.
So did mine, we took all of them out and had a fun little convoy. Sorry you couldn't make it Vipernut. We have to get together next time to get a group shot. We are only missing a few generations.....hopefully not for too much longer ;-)
Did the Springfield area group receive the FCA notice for the May event in Champaign, IL. Peoria folks are considered part of the Chicago Region so you would have received the notice from Greg McKibben/Pete Consolo. There may be a requirement for FCA membership or attend with an FCA member; not sure. Jeff
Saw an Aston Martin DB6 in Downtown Peoria Heights yesterday. Beautiful car. 20150411_184255_zpsdtuukeei.jpg Photo by matgro10 | Photobucket.
Nice spot, especially for that area! If it was Rosso Berlinetta (maroon-ish) then it was likely John, who is a member on here.
Im pretty sure it was the Rosso Corsa one posted on the previous page, although it was getting later in the afternoon, and it was overcast. The craziest spot of my road trip yesterday was a Lotus Espirit V8 around Lebanon Missouri.

LaFerrari where my youngest kid stood today... And yeah, that's a 918 Porsche next to it. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hear it was a great turnout with folks from Chicago, Indy, Cincinnati, Springfield and St. Louis all coming. You even had the national FCA president there. Wish I could have made it. I saw just over 100 on the expected attendee list then there were some additional invites by the host. Jeff
Great event in Champaign. Everyone was catered to, and the staff was amazing. The host is indeed "the host with the most" He has a fan here. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Haven't gotten to post on this thread in a long time, but yesterday I saw a brand new champaign colored Bentley CGT on Veterans near the mall. Also, in Decatur I saw this F12!! Sorry for the picture, not sure how to fix it. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Saw the F12 today in Decatur again-twice! Also saw a white with blue stripes Ford GT-also in Decatur! For the record "buzzpics" from the previous page who said he spotted an F12, that is the car in my previous post. I had been out of Decatir for a year and didn't realize he upgraded his Ferrari, it is very nice!
Noel, That must be your blue 458 I see out North now & then? There are about 15 Ferraris in town, mostly red 355 spyders. One other 458 (Nero) that will be heading West soon (local Pharmacist), several 360 (including my Stradale), a few 430, a lone F12 (Cat attorney), a Mondial, etc. I see mostly all at some point during the season for maintenance, track prep or service minder reset.
Hey Michael - that's cool! You're absolutely right with the 458. Where are all these guys with their F cars? Do you know all of them? Been here for a few years but did not see any. Are you in Peoria too?
Saw a dark blue Maserati Granturismo in a parking lot in Mt. Zion on Monday. Yesterday I saw this beast in downtown Decatur! Image Unavailable, Please Login
