One car show (no longer held) that I miss today was in Beverly Hills, put on at the MBZ dealership for the local schools Educational Fund. At the year 2000 event there were over 100 cars, mostly Ferrari, Lambo, MBZ, Jag, BMW, there was even a v12 Ferrari engine on a test stand which was revved up at Lunchtime (uncorked (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ). One group of judges stopped over at our 914 including Jay Leno who asked me some relative Porsche questions...he seemed somewhat knowledgeable about 914 history. In parting he mentions "You know the 914 and 9146 are one of the most underrated Porsches ever built"
He was right on with that observation...my small circle of 914 friends and I knew this from day 1 of 914 ownership ! At the end of that day my car is announced as 3rd place winner in European Street class, so I send my son ( Matty Lite ) up to the podium to take the trophy. Mr. Leno is also the trophy presenter, so Jay and Matt (only 10 years old) traded one liners on the open mic ; best one was how fast does your Dad drive with you in the car ¿ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

Thank you Rick (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The star of the Show was a brand spanking new SLR McLaren Mercedes . So the DumbKoph behind the wheel pulls in a bit too spirited and catches the oil pan on the driveway. Never seen so many people wince in agony at a car show like that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) He had some 'splainin to do ! Enjoy the Holidays Rick + Family Marty |
