The guy was extremely nice - I told him about the forum and he will probably join. I talked to him at great length. This is the 3rd time I've shot photos of his car. I'll be doing a painting of this one. He is selling the red replica rally car next to it. I got his card, he said that if I needed more shots for an illustration to let him know. His son dove the red C while he drove the Sebring - nice people.

Cliff, can you hook me up with his info? I'm very interested in taking a peek at the red car. I think I've seen it before and it was gorgeous!

Nice selection of cars there, some very nice ones I might add...

Being deep into winter time here, car shows won't exist until late-April (except for the World of Wheels in February, indoors)

I did do a small tour of a local machine shop today, whose owner dabbles a little in British cars as well... https://www.flickr.com/photos/sherlock77/archives/date-posted/2006/12/30/

Steve, I tried sending you a PM but it said that your box was full.

 

[Steve_S]

I got the email, thank you. I have no idea why it says my Pm inbox is full. I'll check it out!

Very nice pix! I was studying the one of the Tiger and I noticed the twins in the background which raised a query...If one is a Lexus, are two of them Lexii?

 

[Steve]

Beautiful cars! Thanks for sharing.

Since the gathering is a Fords Design centre, the guys who work there could do a lot worse than to eyeeball a few of those beauties, learn what design is all about. That black Ferrari (250 Lusso?) id absolutely gorgeous!! Not a bad line on it anywhere.

Cliff, you have a PM.
