...you'll enjoy visiting the Blackhawk Automotive Museum.

I was just there yesterday and the whole downstairs section was full of sportscars from the 50's and 60's. They had some absolutely beautiful Ferraris there. I didn't know the 1964 Ferrari Superfast could go 170 mph, and it holds four. My favorite was the 275 GTB/4 followed closely by the Daytona convertible. There were also things like a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing, a Ford GT-40 that raced at Le Mans, and even one of those Toyota 2000 sports cars. It's worth spending an afternoon there.

Hey Scott - I had heard about this museum from a friend several months ago. He was raving about it. It looks like a great way to hang out (and learn about) the classics. I definitely will check it out. Next time I'm in the Blackhawk area, I'll swing by for the afternoon.

 

Museum is very nice, the whole plaza is nice, I live within walking distance to that place.

FYI, there was a Nissan event that occured at the museum, they unveiled the 350Z convert.

 

I was there several years ago.
My friend had his wedding there

I've been meaning to make a trip to this museum. I've heard a lot of good things. Maybe I'll go this weekend...

 

What if you love sports cars but hate Ken Behring?

 

Then you should stay as close as possible to Bill Gates.

 

hehe... Ken Behring really f#cked up the Seahawks. We Seattleites will never forgive him.

I would like to see that collection one day. I've heard it was really impressive.

Is that supermarket with the marble floors and what seemed like gold-plated trim still around? My old boss lived in Blackhawk and we went to visit... bling-bling grocery!

 

We did a great group drive up there last year. quite a few of us turned up.

 

Q: What does everyone on this thread besides me have in common?

A: They're all not coming to the Ultimate Group Drive on 5/31!

WHAT GIVES!????
