So this old bus converted to an RV is apparently using an old 2 cyl block that was a chopped version of a larger one. I was at the dog park in Sausalito and a guy had talked to the owner. He couldn’t remember what brand it was:

The local Beaver pilot (hehe...he) is flying more, they have two planes and pulled the engine off the other one since they were not allowed to have tours. So I guess they decided to do maintenance on it. But I’ve heard him taking off a lot, maybe putting some hours on that engine, I don’t think they can fly tours yet. He’s a cool guy, he volunteers on the Jeramiah O’Brian Liberty Ship.

So there really are a lot of EV Porsches now, I saw two and one was dark blue so it wasn’t one I’ve seen before. When driving they look like a Panamera so you almost don’t notice them. I was going to the car at the dog park and this one bluuuured by, it’s my modern art pic . I saw a Burgundy C8 as well, same color as the one they had at the last auto show I worked, can confirm still ugly and I won’t be documenting them. The C7 looks pretty now and I hate the back of that car. A C7 with some kind of rear end kit would be the best Vette if I was trying to find one to own.

O ur local MVPA/MVCC chapter sent out the latest newsletter, one member is a fireman and took pics of some vehicles he was burned.... sad:

New BF!

A lot of interesting stuff today. You’ve posted that abomination before right? The absurdly lo ng retro-mobile thing? I still hate it.

Its a different one, this one was like new, old lady that looked like Trump’s mom in it. Seriously she was Cruella Deville , you can see her Leopard coat on.

I couldn’t place what character she reminded me of. Definitely Cruella Deville vibes. The car, the clothes, the hair, the general aire of outward loathing .

You have to really commit to  that look...

Commit, yes. But does she own the look? I'd argue not.

I wonder what the house is like... Probably as tasteful as Trump’s apartment in NYC.

Yeah it’s clean. My friend’s dad has two roadsters, one was his first car! He is involved with the club.

I probably know him from the 311s forum.

I don’t know if he is online, I know he is an architect. He and his son are in my union but the dad only does some side work designing structures for shows.

No, this look isn’t entirely style over substance. It’s disgusting mushy substance no one wants with style that is is uncool it is almost hipster-y but without any of the irony. It’s terrible, but it’s not quite Trump levels of conspicuous consumption.

Some of these rich people around here are still in the 1970's, they haven’t checked back in since then and don’t care. I have surfing stuff from twenty years ago so I guess I can see how that can happen haha.

Man, that’s an MB/GPW too. Survived WWII and 75 years of civilian life.

I’m not convinced some rich people were in touch even then.

There are far more interesting vehicles where you live than where I live! :P

Yeah the members are serious, it had an M100 trailer too. My friend has a bunch that need restoration and his land hasn’t burned. I’m not sure the body is ok or if they can blast it, depends I guess.

Well I guess whatever people got in CA will survive, no rust, so that helps. Lots of different kinds of people with money here too, Cars and Coffee can get some interesting stuff. The SF C&C is a douchefest now (Hey look I bought a McLaren last week, I have no idea how it works!) , Marin has all kinds of interesting stuff.

I see some around, we get Canadian surfers with Delicas. There is a guy around here that has a Figaro and a Pao, but not many of those enthusiasts here. I suspect south of here in San Jose has more, there is a large Asian population there and lots of tuner kids. You see a lot of Fast and Furious looking stuff driving madly on the highway down there.

Went out for a leaf peeping drive in rural NH and Maine today with Mrs. Twowheels. We made our semi annual trip to the Kancamagus Highway, where car spotting was quite good. There were several car clubs out doing the same. Saw my first Porsche EV, a group of about 18 Mini Coopers, a 1958 Corvette, a C2 Corvette, a group of 4 C7 Corvettes, a group of 4x4 Tacomas and a supercharged 1969 Super Bee.

Yeah...I guess most of the petrolhead crowd here would either be younger kids with pretty beat up ‘tuned’ VWs and Civics (though not to the Fast and Furious extent)....or older guys with Corvettes or Mercedes convertibles, etc.
