One of two DBR2s made.








Jaguar E Type roadster with removable hardtop.





4 orange McLarens in a row.





Jaguar XK 120 roadster.





Jaguar XK 120 drophead coupe.





Jaguar XK 140 roadster.





1932 Auburn V 12 boattail speedster. One of 35 made.





Italia 2000 . One of 320 made based on a Triumph chassis and drivetrain with an Italian body.

IIRC, that E-Type is a special lightweight version, very rare. Saw it last year.....

The 1932 Auburn V 12 was the real thing. About 4 years ago it won 1st Senior from the Classic Car Club of America. I talked with the owner and I may be able to arrange a tour of his garage (about 25 cars) if you guys would like to go.

Was this in Redmond Oregon? Because I was coming back from Sunriver Friday afternoon and passed 6 Ferrari's heading South in a group on Hwy 197. There was a car/air show in Madras so I thought maybe have been going there

I drove down to the airshow in Madras Saturday. I didn't see any Ferrari's in the auto show. They might have been a group from the Ferrari club out for a weekend cruise.

No. This is the Redmond (Washington) weekly automobile show. It's located a few miles east of Seattle near Bellevue.

Default On for tomorrow?

Looks like the weather's going to be decent. Not sure what, if any, marque will be recognized, but it's always a good event.

Anyone going?

Well, call me early, but I did not see you there this morning. In fact it was about half as well attended when compared to other shows. Still, there were some new cars there and worth the drive.

Interestingly, a few new C7's I'd not seen before. Great opportunity to see some new colors. There was a blue one with chrome wheels which had me wondering if I actually liked them as well as the black ones after you had the red stripe put on the, Nice touch.

I had the chance to compare yellow and red nearly side by side and still think, for me, red is the way to go. There was a black one there that was stunning and, well, sinister-looking, but no more black cars for me, if I can help it. It is one of the most striking colors on the later Corvettes and certainly tends to make all those black accoutrements on the fenders blend in better, which is good.

All in all, a nice turnout. If we get many more new C7's though we may as well reserve our own parking lot.

There was a new Ferrari 458 in silver on temp plates that was so very nice. Compared to the earlier one parked behind it I'm wondering if the new one had some standard updates or was a "speciale" model.

Beautiful old Cadillac touring car was there and the sort of thing I love about the diversity of the weekly show.

So, where were you anyway?
