Anyway, on to another page of pics...

Gorgeous, Pearl-white Lotus that was there visiting another business in the same building...
Joe Fan's interesting dual-throttle-body single-MAF CF intake.
The right throttle body has the TPS on it...
While the driver side TB just has an actuator cable. Apparently they are on a split cable and are synced by adjusting the forward cable stops. Very clean, simple system.
Of course the interior is all business -- in a serious way. Less show, more go.
So, we all went on an afternoon fun drive. I didn't get many pictures, as we were busy driving. There were a lot of sharks in attendance! Hmmm... let's see... One, two, three...
Four more, that's 7... Actually, 8. There is a shark that is parked away from the curb. You can barely see it's roof, over the top of the reddish pre-87.
To the left, the first 1/2" of the 8th car in line. Pretty sure it's an S4+. Anyway, Here's another 6, up to the red one at the sign, for 14.
Another 4, not counting the S2 with the bump on it's roof, for 18.
Here's another 8, counting up to the red one at the lamp pole, for 26.
I paused on my way to take the next pic to get a shot of this car with the striking black wheels. I'm still not sure that I would, or sure that I wouldn't do this on my car. It still looks interesting though.
And another 6 sharks, not counting the 993(?) Cab for 32. That's a lot of sharks, and our mob got quite a few looks as we rumbled around en masse!
Here's a fellow gearhead friend, James, who came by the event to see what it was all about.
A quick look back at our school of sharks...
Sunday Morning, we were off to the Peterson Automotive museum.
I just have to say thanks to Keith Widom, Dan Bise, and everyone else that made this possible... My car was chosen to be one of the four on display inside the museum during our event!
It was a great honor, and it was a feeling I'll never forget. Thanks Guys! Below are, as I recall(foreground to background), a GTS, an S4, an 85 or 86 32V, and my 1978 OB.
Now -- don't say I didn't warn you... I posted all of my pics of my car in the museum that came out even marginally recognizable. I guess I'm still enthused about it.
Little bit closer shot...
Another angle....
Whoops, how about one without the flash...
Shot from the rear...
And another. The lighting in this place was very difficult to photograph in. It looked great, but with the low lighting and the bright sun coming in the doors it was challenging.
And a rear shot.
One adjacent wing was full of French cars... the "French Curves" exhibit. More on that later.
Here are some of the cars that shared the same display area as our sharks... A former racecar...
This is a 1934 Voisin, one of only two made. This must have been someone's pride & joy at some point. Incredible curves!
The "Silver Torpedo". This car is positively huge. I don't remember many of the details but it's a very impressive presence!
The massive door comes out and slides back, like a minivan door.
Looks kind of like a silver Batmobile!
Again -- what a presence!
I went outside, as people had begun to arrive...
...and fill up the private parking area set aside for us.
Here's Nicole, setting up her booth.
Here's Carl Fausett, the driving force behind 928 MotorSports. He brought some of his wares to show, including his gauge pods, oil control system, and a supercharger. He's one of the best arguments for changing the "Big 3" to the "Big 4". Carl, sorry I caught you mid-syllable there pal!
Back inside the museum... this is an interesting beast. According to the placard, the windshield is pretty much useless. The top has a large section of tinted plexiglas in it, which serves as the windshield!
This speedster is an interesting example of old-school hotrodding. Lots of chrome. Huge brakes. Carbs sticking out. I love it!
Wider front view
Automotive art...
Interesting inboard brake design.
Bucket tee by some fiberglas junky.
