Met up with Midengineer and JayhawkJake and drove over to see an $insane amount of money collection of cars for C&C today.

Kinja'd!!!

As always, we started out by meeting up with each other. There was a cruise with a few other cars across town to the venue. Note JayhawkJake's obnoxiously clean Sonic. On my way to the meet I got pulled over because "my muffler is broken". Guess I need to stick a resonator on there to kill the drone.

This dude had EVERY generation of Corvette. This C7 was absolutely gorgeous with the black-and-tan interior.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

CLOWNSHOE!

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Note the wicker-basket sidecar.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Monstrously large cars, these.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Whoever says two-tone is ugly can piss right off.

What's this? A Mini with drag slicks?

Kinja'd!!!

And widebody?

Kinja'd!!!

Oooooooooh

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Because rockets.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Luxury go-kart, because luxury go-kart.

Kinja'd!!!

Because... Ariel Atom? 10/10 would DD.

The paint on this BMW was FLAWLESS

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Neat little headlight detail

Kinja'd!!!

This looked so tiny compared to the immensity of the older Rolls. I'm honestly not a fan of these at all. I much prefer modern Bentleys. Like powersliding Buckingham Palace!

Kinja'd!!!

Wheels on one of the cars that showed up. Gorgeous wheels. I'm probably going to clone them for the Formula SAE car's practice wheels.

Kinja'd!!!

We spent about an hour standing and talking about these two Beetles, mostly the one on the left. Not sure why everyone found it so interesting.

The Canadian Automotive Museum in Oshawa, Ontario, has a couple Rolls from the 1910's. They're HUGE. Like luxury houses on wheels! Easily ten feet tall, some of them. Unfortunately it's not a very high-class, high-security museum, a bit like walking around an older barn that has cars in it, so the unrestored cars donated by the McLaughlin (of McLaughlin-Buick) family aren't all in the greatest shape. Some have had pieces stolen off them, etc. There wasn't a single flying lady hood ornament in the establishment when I was there a few years ago.

U.S. equivalent of the Austin 1100.

Kinja'd!!!

here's a three door estate as Oppos love wagons.

Though Basil Fawlty aka John Cleese fell out with his Mk1 1100 in Fawlty Towers.
