Alright, here’s the second batch of images for y’all. Part 1 can be found !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Part 3 is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and Part 4 is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

This picture is missing a Urraco.

Very underrated color, this.

:(

Dat ass, son! (yes I know that joke has been done before)

Someone brought a Flxible motorhome!

“I’m gonna enter my Porsche in a car show, and then put a cover on it so that nobody can see it. At the car show. ”

_ Those wheels. No.

Sorry $kay, this one’s a kit.

This one’s real though :D

Did a double take, I had no clue they ever made a 968 cabrio.

He and another 911 stayed at the same hotel in Torrington that I did. On Sunday morning we left at about the same time and I ended up chasing them back to LRP along a fantastic 20 mile mountain road.

I was literally tripping over E30 M3s all day long.

He got the D (type)

Bentley Azure so big it wouldn’t fit in frame

Magnum PI would be proud.

I found this humerus. It was an actual Lime Rock recovery vehicle.

Awwww fukkin’ yissss

Very large (some might even say wallpaper-sized) version !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Someone clearly crashed it and couldn’t afford to fix it so they shoved it in a barn.

After a underwhelming IMSA Tudor race this year, I think next year I am headed to the Historics! Was there camping at the track?

A little OT perhaps (OK, way OT) but many years back when I flew a hell of a lot in first or business class for my job, the chilled mulligatawny soup on BA’s 1st class from NY to London was the only thing I ever asked for seconds of. A little spicy but refreshing at the same time.

What can brown do fo you? Help you stand out in a sea of red ferraris. (Sea not pictured). That is a nice bronze / copper, and I would guess there are only a handful of them in the country / world. Like.

Thanks, but you’re wrong. I ended up doing my own research and found it was a 1967 1600 GT, a BMW badged version of the Glas GT .

hah. At least my car was a little more unique than the X1 and X3 that were parked there, too.

Was there a Nelson Ledges race program with that car on the cover in that Camaro? I once owned, and then sold on EBay, a race program with a Camaro like that one on the cover. The purchase paid over $150 for that program and when I asked why he explained that he owned the car and knew there was a program out there someplace.

Jonee > Maxxuman 09/08/2015 at 13:35

Yeah, really cool car. I like it better as a Glas. If you’re interested, I wrote my own Glas history a couple weeks ago.

Cool, and incidentally I had heard of Goggomobils, perhaps because I’m from ‘Straya.

Ah, cool. I wrote about those Goggos, too, once.

http://oppositelock.kinja.com/fiberglass-dow…

I didn’t mean to imply people hadn’t heard of Glas and Goggomobil, just that their story and connection to BMW isn’t widely known any more.

That is not an original Penske, but a tribute built on a A/Sedan racer. For sale, $45K.

Disappointed by lack of pictures of this. Maybe because I know the guy. Maybe because it’s got a side exit exhaust and is generally awesome. Either way, disappointed.

I've seen it for sale, not a bad car. I would like to build something like that but modernized a little for autocross and track day events.

They’d be even better if the diamond in the center were blacked out, and each “K” were a different color than the one overlapping it.

Probably early-90s vintage Kleemann tuner wheels.

We probably crossed paths a bunch of times! I was helping direct the Car Corrals [on the skidpad] until around 1:30 yesterday then drove one of the courtesy shuttles around all afternoon. Great pictures by the way, some of mine are below:

Did you see someone wearing an Oppo shirt?

Roody > If only EssExTee could be so grossly incandescent 09/08/2015 at 18:31

On Sunday I did...I was in a golf cart with another of the volunteers and said in said shirt-wearer’s direction “nice shirt!” but wasn’t sure if he heard me. As this interaction happened the driver of started driving said golf cart in the opposite direction...sound like it may have been you?

Yup. I was tired and didn’t process what you’d said until after you drove off.

The timing was *just* off...by the time you turned we were heading the other way...figured I’d see pictures of LR on Oppo and might be able to find the photographer that way...small world!
