“In the mid 80’s I was driving my 1977 Porsche 930 home from O’Hara airport to Elgin, IL on I90 taking the Barrington Road offramp when I happened to look in my rear view mirror to find it completely filled with a Lambo Countach that appeared not have a driver. Then a thick arm came out the window pointing for me to turn right at Barrington Road. Then the Lambo passed me and turned right with the arm coming out again point left to turn on a country road. Seemed pretty evident what the driver…”

“I love seeing this bike. I was a young Motocross racer in the early seventies and would ride on occasion with Steve. I would often help him with his bike as he was by himself. This could easily be the bike I helped with. That was so long ago that I couldn’t possibly remember the bike’s details, but this looks right. He was a nice down to earth guy that I enjoyed riding with. My only concern as a kid was that I was faster than him. His celebrity status was just taking off back then. I should…”

“I’m a Corvette girl. I grew up with a dad who restored them. His first Corvette was a ’57 that he used to race. He decided to make it street legal in the mid ’60’s and had it on the road 3 days when a lady ran a stop sign and busted up the front end. He put a new front end on it, and it’s been sitting in the garage waiting to be restored for the past 50ish years. I’m 50 and it’s always looked a bit like this Elva, though the undercarriage and the body are pristine–just raw because it’s been in…”

“I’ve been fortunate to own some really nice Ducati’s. My 996 SPS was one of my favorite bikes. Tons of linear power, killer exhaust note and just a joy to ride. Beautiful bike presented here @DesmoquattroRestorations”

“My father and I test drove this exact colour combination 300SD when it was brand new in Vancouver British Colombia. He pulled over half way into the test drive and asked if I wanted to drive it. He recently passed away and when I saw this car it took me back to that moment in my life and it made me smile.”

“I see something like this and am reminded of the “ad specials” that were ordered for the newspaper ad wars for the lowest price on a given model to create showroom traffic. This no option car would’ve been a typical ad special in a metro dealership. I’m reminded of a tan (band aid color) new 76 Granada at the Ford dealership I worked at. Brand new advertised for $3999.00. A true “5 tires 2 keys and a heater” car. No power steering, radio delete, vinyl bench seat 3 speed column shift…”

“The Amazon … Volvo ran ads on TV showing this model driving down a dirt road at about 20 mph. The driver jams the transmission in REVERSE and floors the throttle – the cars rear wheels start spinning backwards and the car is sliding forward … yeah the 122s is tough.”

“It’s been years, but I saw a similar one in Madison, WI. The owner and buddy drove up from the Chicago area – a 2 hour interstate highway drive. They had leather goggles and huge smiles behind the little windscreens. The Ferrari was specked with bugs and road dirt and looked utterly amazing. What a day for those guys. A pleasure for the show attendees as well. Someone is going to have fun with this 212 beauty. Let ‘er rip!
I was thinking about the Chicago guys trip up the interstate. There…”

“Beautiful spyder! These are the best kept secret of the modern Porsche world. For those seeking a manual, 8k redline 4 liter naturally aspirated roaster that is the right size, and rare, look no further. As a fellow 718 Spyder owner, I feel these cars were a love letter to all things we love about Porsches.. GLWA!”

“These Ford GT’s are so much fun to drive, I took mine out this morning and the experience is almost indescribable. I have other supercars as well but the Ford GT is by far the best. Until you drive one you will never understand the why you need one of these in your collection. I do think they deserve to be DRIVEN!!!”
