Cars + Croissants 7/1/17

Lot of extremely wealthy people, old money and new so you get to see a much broader range of cars than you do at other C+C's, more of the rare, classic exotics.

Faaaaaaaaaaaat cloud of (oil?) smoke when he started it up to leave for the day... I had to fight the urge to mention it to him. Probably would have been inappropriate.

Valve seals gonna be valve seals on something that old. I'd still rock it. Wish we had something like that in my town. When I was in college the street racing scene here was incredible. We had weekly meets and always did test & tune nights at the dragstrip. Now it's just dead. We have one charity car show I go to each year, and then there's just a muscle car group that sits in lawn chairs in a parking lot every Friday night. I miss the car scene.

Cars and coffee is just the same as the lawn chair group. I'm becoming disillusioned with the whole "car meet" ethos.

I build my cars to drive, not to show.

That's why I drove them to the national Z convention this year.

Here's the top of turn 1 at the Circuit of the Americas, from my 240Z:


Here's the 300ZX on the start/finish straight:


This was taken in turn 16, after we'd had some "spirited" lapping. See if you can spot my hoopties!

The Orange 240 in this pic. Any chance it was a turbo setup with louvered hood? Looks scarily familiar to my friend's ride here in town.

That one has an RB26 transplant with a GTX30-something giant single turbo.
