I went to the British Invasion this past weekend in Stowe Vermont.
Guess what I found?
An all origional Lotus super7, a origional super 7 that had some Caterham body work when he rebuilt the car from a wreak (pronounced Kay-trum I know this because a spokeswoman from Caterham went out of her way to correct my Cat-er-ham pronunciation) and a Super 7 Replicar. Among many other cars.
Lotus Super 7. Award winner.
EDIT: The for sale sign in the back of the car states on the revers side a price tag if ?????????
Further questioning brought a $32,500 amount. US funds
Lotus Super7 with Caterham replicated body parts (bonnet is hand crafted by the owner) This car has the Cosworth enging in it for racing. He still races it in the old time races.

Saw some interesting cars today.
Firstly, a 5 series wagon, previous generation.
Secondly, there was a clean cars exhibit on campus today, and some cars not sold in North America were there. Smart four-four, Audi A2, and to top it all off, a car I didn't even know existed until I saw it. A '05 Honda Accord diesel wagon. I would have ran back to my room to grab my camera to take pictures, but I had a string of 3 classes in a row when I saw it...

I don't think I've ever seen a non-M Z3 coupe.
I saw an S55 and an SL65.

yesterday i was doing my mom a favour delivering some money to our avon lady who lives around the corner from us. her daughters boyfriend used to drive an e36 m3 in a lurvely dark purple. just recently it seems he's bought a 3 year old e46 m3 in i think gt4 called it laguna seca blue! i delivered the money than went back to my house to get the camera cos this was the first chance ive had to get a few decent pics of an e46 m3. got back there and after id taken one picture he came out of the house to see what i was doing!
'is it alright if i just take a few pictures?' i said! he replied 'yea thats cool, ill just get the keys so you can have a proper look'
when he said that my heart skipped a beat! i was going to sit in one of my all time favourite cars. so while he was getting the keys i took 3 more pics from the outside. then i got a couple pics of the inside. after which he said 'dya wanna go for a quick spin?'
by this time i was like.....
so he went out from the little cul de sac they live down and up to a nice big ol roundabout with lotsa open road nearby!
he stepped on it and the sheer force of that 340bhp in-line 6 slapped my head into the headrest! by this time i was grinning like a cheshire cat!!
anyway to cut a long story short he just went round once and then gave me another head slapping!!

Looked pretty fruity. A Gray 911 turbo S...what a car! And a bently Continental ...( champaign colour with these weird gold wires, not lowrider wires, but different )

the second best headbashing ive had was from a 180bhp sierra xr4x4 owned by my day 2 years ago. blistering acceleration considering the lack of power. It had a 2.8. Mind you it was 4wd so it had superior traction 👍

I saw a Renault Avantime today. My second.
Since there only 7 of them in the UK, this is significant.

A VW Golf MK4 in black, with spinners, not the cheapo ones as well, the proper shiny ones. And yesterday I saw a black Suzuki Cappuccino with a wide body kit, and lexus lights, and that thing that makes a sneeze type sound when you change gear, I forget, Dump Valve?

Hmm....
1961 Impala 409
1927 Model T Roadster pick-up with a 348 tri-power -this thing was so low it would shame most mini-trucks
1964 Buick Wildcat
1932 Ford Roadster with a Three-deuce Flathead
1957 Corvette
1941 Willys Gasser -Big Block Chevy, Weiand Supercharger, etc.etc. Straight axles rule!👍
Enough Tri-five Chevys and 32 Fords to make one's head spin
1940 Ford with a 428 Cobra Jet
Not a single 1960 Chevy sedan.
(atleast that I saw)
The Goodguys show was well worth it, but too many high-tech street rods.
