Took a trip to the Ring to give my freshly bought lense a first go, pretty satisfied for a first time.

Is that a Datsun?
 








This truck above made Hot Rod Magazine and has been cross country few times.
 
Friend messaged me that an R8 V10 Spyder appeared at the local Audi dealership. So I had to go. A definite rarity in Maine. Grabbed my DSLR as well.

Had my camera on the wrong settings and snapped this rather poorly. 993 in for a service.

Went to the local Friday night car show for the first time in a few weeks. Mostly the same things that are usually there but there were a few different things, most notably this:

Delorean



And this Gremlin with a 401cui (6.6L) V8.

 
Oooo I like that Gremlin, especially since it's got a 401 in it. Good motor right there. I'm as biased towards AMC as I am towards Ford though.

I know a guy that had a couple of DMC's. Wish I could get pictures of it.
 
Yea the Gremlin is at the show every week however the Delorean is only the second Delorean that's been at that show (that I've seen) and the second Delorean I've seen driving. There's a Delorean club here so he's probably part of it.

But that Gremlin sounds mean, I'd really like to see (and hear) what it could do on WOT.

It's basically a bored out 390, same thing really. I've got a couple videos of a stock 4bbl 390 AMX at WOT if you want to watch them. Took down a couple C6 Vettes.
 
Saw the one and only P4/5 Competizione at Lime Rock Park today. I didn't know it is street legal.

I knew he converted it for racing but didn't realise it was still street legal either, unless he just kept the plate on? I can't decide whether I prefer its badass styling now or the cleaner lines when it was first built, also red or black?
 
Evidently there's a cars & coffee here, so I went to it. The turnout was pretty decent considering the weather was rainy.







This one was a special edition of some sort, but I forget what it was exactly.





Tesla and a nicely modified FRS/BRZ in the background.



Couple o' M's.





Hoping that I can go next week, and that the weather will be better.

I always thought he made the second one, the racecar, himself. Since the front doesn't have a Ferrari badge, and has a different engine than the Enzo V12 in the roadcar.

Yep, the wikipedia page confirms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_P#P4.2F5
 
So I went on a nice solitary drive and stopped by the dealers to see if anything particularly interesting was in stock.

I absolutely love the rear end of the new Viper. It just looks so smug. Epic.
 
Ohhh go on... what is Ammo? The 964, and all the cars next to it had stickers that read "Ammo".

The car cleaning product company he owns. Watch some episodes of drive clean on the Drive channel. He literally made me change the way I think about cleaning my car. Great series and he teaches you a lot of great things about your car's paint!

Also, here's a video of that event!
