This is a Ferrari P330 replica body on a car that seemed
to be a mix of many things. A million kinds of gorgeous. |
 |
Hey! A Volvo P1800! Group 2 vintage Production-based sports cars. |
 |
This Volvo sounded incredible on the track. |
 |
Alpha Romeo. |
 |
Another Volvo p1800. |
 |
A Truimph. Tonight it's oooonnnn the loose! |
 |
Not sure, but I like the color. |
 |
An MG Midget. It's even smaller in person. |
 |
I tried to convince the owner of this car that it was done, and needed
no further work. He laughed and said he wanted to at least add a nose
cone or something. Pfff! Fancy pants! |
 |
When driving, you'd be basically straddling the transmission. |
 |
This Bugatti is worth something like a million dollars. That's "dollars" with a "D"! |
 |
This rolling 401k has cable-actuated drum brakes! Handle with care. |
 |
I believe this is French Blue. |
 |
I think this is a Group 3 Lola (vintage purpose-built racing car), but I could be wrong. |
 |
Group 3 Lola. |
 |
A Porsche 911 in Gulf Oil livery, which has been determined to be the coolest
paint scheme for a race car. It's just science, people. |
 |
I think it's a Group 7 Formula 70. The wheels are my favorite - ATS. |
 |
Group 4 Formula Vee "monoposto" car - Volkswagen powered race car. The
vintage VW Beetle wheels are a clue. |
 |
A very pretty group 4. I love me some green stripes. |
 |
Formula Vee's lining up for a practice run. |
 |
The suspension can't be as fragile as it looks. |
 |
Built in 1997, this is a custom-built reproduction of a Lotus 11, with various
improvements added by the builder. Engine produces 80 hp, but the car
weighs only 900 lbs, with driver. |
 |
The gear lever in the above reproduction Lotus 11 is a prosthetic hip.
That is badass. |
