Who would have guessed that there was a top dollar automotive restoration shop in the middle of the 'hood in Bridgeport? This place was incredible. There were a gaggle of Ferraris and another gaggle of the much more proletarian Porsches on hand. But only 2 examples of the Blau Mit Weiss! They wouldn't allow photographs upstairs of the original 1934 SS1 that they are restoring for a conspicuously unnamed "customer". I'm talking, this is the documented FIRST sports car built by the Company that would later become Jaguar!! Check here for my pictures http://www1.snapfish.com/share/p=231271225160898997/l=431997115/g=90409580/c and here for theirs www.blackhorsegarage.com Hey Botond, your friend from the show last weekend was there asking if you were going to buy his e30
I couldn't make it. I didn't know how much longer the nice weather was going go last, so I spent that time washing and waxing my car. What a PITA it was, but worth it. I really wanted to go too since it was so close, but I had to make a choice; wax the car before the winter or go to a show? Hmm... It's a bummer too because I wanted to see if he brought along his E30... I don't even have standard contact information, just a business card with only a business phone number. I definitely wouldn't be calling during business hours. Hell, his name isn't even on it. You wouldn't happen to have anything, would you?
Actually, I found his card and it even has his cell phone on it. Greeeeeat. Though since it's low mileage, he'd probably sell it for a lot. I forgot if it's auto or manual... You could've stopped by while you were in Bridgeport. I was frantically trying to rub off the wax that had dried a bit faster than I had expected. Stupid me, I did the whole car and THEN started to wipe it off. D'oh! Is there another event that you know about?
Nope, I don't know about any other events this year. I think we're done until next spring. Unless we throw on snow tires to do some winter rallying. But that's what I own a Subaru for.
I wasn't really serious, but it shouldn't be too hard to find something in New Hampshire and/or Vermont through the winter. Check the SCCA website. I think the Boston BMWCCA Chapter does ice time trials on various frozen lakes (assuming the local lakes actually freeze this year.) I think I remember seeing info that CART (Connecticut Autocross and Rally Team) does winter/snow autocrosses in New Britain CT too.
