Not sure I like the wheels but the car looks very nice. So when are you posting your test drive impressions. Did the sales guy need a change of underwear after you were done taking him for a spin?
I did not have time for a test drive, it was warm and I had 10-pounds of raw chicken in the car
I was on my way to the meat merket and I got the email the car had arrived, so I decided to make a quick run out there
Those are the optional wheels, but who knows how the Turbo will come, and, I kinda like them, the color inserts are body matched to the car's color, they are not all just red, nice little detail

Been under the weather for a week.

Took down a wall in the house last weekend. Found more evidence of mold behind it. Probably what has been making me feel so crappy the last week or so.

Closed the pool for the winter - BEFORE all the leaves started dropping into the stupid thing.

Speaking of which, usually we have our peak colors around Columbus Day. I think we will be late this year.

Now that you mention the Prancing horse, here are a couple of shots of the Alfa from the garage at the WG vintage races this year. The fined intake manifold and supercharger were works of art. A similar car was featured on one of the "The Car Show" episodes. That car was in the multi-millions, I wonder what this one is worth?




That's patina!!

^ nice pics Harry. I think I may have seen that vehicle race. Those vintage vehicles are no slouches. Based on timing, they were all going much faster than I could even imagine going at WGI

Thank you Harry.
Do you know the year? My guess is an 8C about 33 or 34. A dream car anyway

Sittin here on the back porch enjoying a beer...
My AutoWeek mag is in my hand
I'm sure all of this is on their web site
Ford Evos Concept- visually jaw dropping stunningly beautiful, holy crap, Germany + Italy work, stunning
Jag C-X 16- wow, if this is the direction they are going in, they indeed have found their path
Chevy Sonic- this little wonder continues to impress me, and from GM, I am surprised
VW Golf R- amazing power but at what cost, this ain't no hot hatch I dream of, $34k, 3,325lbs, awd, 2.0 I4, 256hp, 243ft-lbs
BMW Z4 28i, 240 hp from a twin scroll turbo 2.0 I4, 260ft-lbs, 3,250lbs, love the metal drop top
Interesting times for sure...
