PLEASE keep us up to date as the restorations move along. Really want to see how that Lincoln turns out. Some of those cars waiting for restoration sure look like they're already restored!

Oh, to have a friend with a shop like that. And if he ever wants to move his shop to Connecticut ...

Merry Christmas!

That Lincoln caught my eye as well. Love that baby blue color on it!

Sigh.

Dear Santa I have been a very good boy all year....

IF Anyone is ever near me,
my friend always welcomes visiters
and allows walk throughs.
The photo that I didn't include
was the hermetically sealed warehouse.
Here are a few shots of the finished
products as I walked my mom and her girlfriends through.

the Easter Egg car as I like to call it

Who's your friend?! Jay Leno?! hehehe.
What a shop! Makes the old sportscar shop I worked at look like a junkyard.
Drooool! Looks like the ladies had a good time.

Great stuff and that Allard looks familiar to me!
Love the early Lambo in the first set.
The second set of photos shows an amazing place. It does look like something Leno would have.

Our friends, Pete and Joanne McManus won at Amelia Island for "<span style="font-style: italic">Best Historical Race Car Still Actively Raced</span>" with their 1948 Allard K1 Roadster (see below).

We had lunch with them last weekend (unfortunately related to a memorial service for another racing friend).

Very cool stuff. Those old Allards are just too cool.

And that looks more like a Nissan Patrol than a Rover (not that it matters). What a great collection of stuff there.

from around 67.
Next time I'm in California, I must come for a tour.
