So, this Labor Day (as usual) was the 26th Rolex Vintage Festival at Lime Rock Park in CT. I went with some friends from school and we had a great time. From my house its a great ride down there, and on the way back the GPS brought us down some really great roads (they also happened to be traffic free).
There were some really fine cars from all marques. Per usual I was stunned by the cars in the parking lots and the hospitality of the race teams. Its awesome being able to crawl over the cars, talk to the owners, and sit in them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Anyways, now for some pictures! Before we left, my '74 with my good friend Mike's warmed-over Corvair. We have spent so many hours pouring over that car getting it to cool right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Parking next to an Italian market Dino. The owner's wife was complaining that they brought the wrong Ferrari. Poor people, as poor college students we didn't have too much empathy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Very nice people though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

This is a real Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa and is absolutely gorgeous. The large and not so gorgeous Testa Rossa of the early 1990's was named after this car.
And this is a BMW 2002 cabrio by Baur. The Baur company made all the cabriolet BMWs in Europe until BMW noticed how many were selling and then the ultimate tanning machine hit the streets This was a great car show. My favorite (affordable) car was this Lancia Fulvia 1600HF. Kinda makes one wish that VW/Porsche had hired an Italian to design the 914 |

The Baur company made all the cabriolet BMWs in Europe until BMW noticed how many were selling and then the ultimate tanning machine hit the streets and this is a really rare on (if original) !!! they only built 200 units in 1971 because the body was too weak they decided to do a Targa Version after this small production here's the 2002 Targa (they built it until 1975) (IMG:http://www.bmw-02-club.de/wagen/condor_targa.jpg) from 1967 to 1971 they built the 1600-2 Cabrio (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Gustl |
