Default A Car Enthusiast's Snap Shot [PIC]

We took the cars out of the garage today and clicked some off with the time freezer.

Here's one with a few you don't see everyday.

If you find that you are short of garage space, I have a couple of spots available. the 32 HI-Boy roadster and the Ariel Atom would just fit in nicely -

Everett, nice that you noticed. I got her out a couple of times so far, including this past Friday. It sure is nice to driving a car with horsepower vs. the Spec Miata.

You certainly have picked two of my favorites as well. The Deuce is a blast to drive. Great power on the launch but don't even think about turning.

The Atom does okay in the straights, but it's the turns that are just silly fast.

Best is they are both street legal!

Everett,

Don wasted no time slapping down a record South track time for his car. The boy can drive!

Default Nice picture!

Mike:

Great shot!
How about the next time MaryBeth and I are in the area I give you my camera and I take a..........golf cart out on the track?
Man we had a great time there at Autobahan, with you and the 'Beast'.

Later,

David & MaryBeth

Hi Dave,

Actually I'd like to see you run the 18 wheeler out there. I'm guessing nobody would beat your time given the chance!
