And only took one picture.

My oldest is pretty sure that Challenger is a Lambo, bro. Because anything that green is a Lambo.

If I’d have to pinpoint which V8 sounds the most aggressive this one would definitely end up on the shortlist. One of my neigbors has one.

He put M+S tires on it hahaha.

It got my attention! Not the only nice car there, but... Pantera!

Love it, can’t go wrong with a stomping 351. There used to be a few around here, one guy had two in his little garage at one point, but I don’t see many any more. This one got driven out in the rain!

Black on yellow is a great color combo on this one. This one doesn’t see that much rain unless it is at the owner’s favorite event: Classic Le Mans. 2 Years ago he was still sorting out his MSD ignition but tracked it anyway.

Speaking about rain and cars: yesterday probably was the final drive of this year. Tucked away the Porker for winter.

They are such pretty cars, and so hard to find one that hasn’t been ruined.

I tend to be very sparing in my car show pics. How many pictures do I really need of ‘68 Mustangs and ‘70 Chevelles?

Oh, to drive that to Le Mans! I do love the black engine cover, like the Group 4 cars:

Rest easy, little Carrera! Do you fire it up during its hibernation?

Yeah, it’s awesome. Love those Campagnolos! The frunk is flat black as well.

It’s got some sort of removable part behind the engine.

Love it.

If I see the chance I will fire it up, occasionally even drive it a bit. It survives a 3 months rest usually very decent, I just have to unplug the battery. And I’m getting new tires next season so no worries there either.

Mmm, so nice. Is that a US license plate?

Do they salt the roads there?

It was a grey import, originally from Miami IIRC. US imports are allowed to carry different sized plates. The license plate itself on the picture I’ve “molested” a bit for privacy reasons.

Yep. Salt. The Z4 didn’t mind but the Porker I’m protecting a bit.

That was my 2nd favorite car there

Lol, I prefer the 308... hnnnggggg

Yeah, that one is good. I get all weak in the knees.

I just noticed the place dimensions were distinctly non-European, interesting they make that exception.

Booo salt! So glad we don’t have it here, but I wouldn’t mind a little snow :)

That may have to do with the fact we had all kinds of GI’s stationed here and bringing their cars. You guys were everywhere! But it is weird. A BMW is not allowed to have such a plate. Unless you import it from the US? Hahahaha. You get a special registration for it.

Wintersport is scheduled for March 2017!

On BMWs I can see that, the turn signals don’t work on US models so they have to differentiate them. ;) US 2002's have narrower spacing for the license lights, I can’t be drilling new holes!
