Default The Exchange and LFSC(update) MUST LOOK!

Well I was cruising down the road and to my suprise I saw a CGT! in the window of the Porsche Exchange in Highland Park IL.
I had to pull 2 U-turns to get back to it. Luckily there were no stupid ropes around the car but sadly still couldn't get into it.














GT3 #1





Hummer outside


Two more GT3's!








those sneeky bastards


many C4s'


Turbo Cabriolet #1




Turbo Cabriolet #2


After this little visit I was in the mood to go check out LFSC (as seen in C&D)

DB7 Zagato!





An Aston Martin Racer





An Aston Martin V12 from a Vanquish that met it's end :cry:



Vantage V8



just a Hallway shot, My Camera was dying by this point


355GTS




Some more of the F40 (they had another in the shop from Indiana)











one of 3 BB512i's







I love this car! 550 Barchetta










Lotus Esprit V8




Sneeking some shots of this Daytona for ya (not supposed to take pics in the shop due to confidentiality crap, there was a 250 but it was being worked on so no go)



South Dakota :shock:

355 Challenge





Dino Race Car




GT3 #4!



Saw this on the road at a stop sign


This was every pic I took good or bad so feel free to comment, sadly my batteries went dead on me but I got all the new stuff.

A good day then

The CGT is only slightly impressive next to the DB7 ZAGATO :shock: :shock:

A gorgeous car, if slightly wierd looking and based on a 10+ year old chassis :roll:

I'm liking the 550 Barchetta too.. i saw two a while back.. it took the dealer over 6 months to sell them, and they have just got one of them back

Nice F40 i have never EVER seen an F40 in real life, so i don't really know what to expect if, and when, i do see one

{EDIT} Just saw the plate holder on the Zagato and you were at lake Forest Sportscars A few other members have posted pics from there before (caps12@???) and it seems to be a great dealership with loads of decent cars on stock 8)

Yeah LFSC is one of the best in the country if not this half of the world.
I was the first to post pics from there a few months back and then Caps was convinced that it was worth while, the place is more than just a dealership, they have realy nice lounges and a sweet ass pool table and putting range, The Speed Channel is always on all the TV's, they build racecars for people and they have their own teams aswell they were building a Camaro race car and Corvette race car today and they were the dealers team cars to go along with their Ferrari's and others. They have a World Class Service Department in which people from all over the country bring their cars, They service 5 Enzo's eventhough they only sold 2 of them.

great pics, I've never seen a 355 challenge before and I think it looks pretty good with the spoiler.

What a load! Dang, too bad you didn't had a tripod for the pics took inside!! Some of them are quite blurry, but nonetheless, amazing cars! i love the 355 in silver while the CGT is beginning to be boring since 90% of them seem to be silver

yeah I wasn't exactly intending on going to look at cars today so the camera was low on battery life and I couldn't afford to use the flash all the time so some look a little crummy and with the CGT that rear end pic if I moved back another cm I would have been sitting on a Carrera's rear end so I was squating trying not to hit the car and trying to get the whole thing it was a little akward sadly the showroom is fairly small especially with such a large car like the CGT and Cayenne but it's all good. That and they have some funky ass lighting in that building with the sun coming through the window aswell.
LFSC is probably the best Dealership I've ever been to they are the nicest people and will answer any questions you have wether or not you are a customer.
