Thanks Matt, you know my style!! But I will take the dark blue one with white stripes!!Since I'm bored, I thought I'd post some more pics from my trip to Cali from a few weekends ago. Enjoy!
One of the cool things about the whole weekend are the cars you see, not just at the track or at Concours, but in parking lots. For Michael:

Very nice!! It's like a "Datsun Fairlady E-type"The little known Carrol Shelby/Toyota racing team from the late '60s. These are Toyota 2000GTs, very rare cars that were a Japanese attempt at an E-type competitor. Yamaha built the 2.0 I-6s for Toyota and assembled the cars too.

Totally sure. The engine was built by the Air Cooled Motor Company, which was formerely Franklin, before being retro-fitted with water cooling jackets for use in the Tucker.Slacker87XJ said:Sweet pics, dude!
Are you sure? I see a radiator and hoses, and no fins on the heads.. :shhh:
Oops, my bad. Yeah, that's a 914-6. Here's an M1, as driven by Bobby Rahal:2xtreme said:Are you shure about this next one?? Looks like a 914 or 916-6 to me?

I wish I'd gotten a pic of the motor, but here's one from behind. The car was beautifully done:2xtreme said:That has got to be the Sweetest looking 914 I have ever seen!! Not normally into these type's of mods, but that is Cool. It it drives anything close to as nice as it looks, it would be A LOT of fun!!

When I receive the $1.4 million it'll cost you. I'll throw in shipping, though.2xtreme said:VERY NICE!! To bad the tips look like A$$:looser:
When can I expect the Cobra and F1 to be delivered?
Michael
Don't get me wrong. I think the brushed aluminum is cool. But just not the right car to do it to. Not original enough for me.IXNAYXJ said:x2. Give me the brushed aluminum!

2xtreme said:I think the brushed stainless steel is cool. Now a Delorean that would look cool
Michael
