I saw one at the Petersen - gorgeous car. Incredible to see 4 in one place at one time. Wow!

Yeah, they are stunning! Only 351 were built so we're both lucky to see one!
I've got the videos from when they leave so I'll try to upload them somewhere. They sounded amazing!

Got the videos uploaded!
The old guy driving the red one is called Shihomi Hosoya. He was a Toyota works driver during the 60s & 70s and did the road testing on the original 2000GT. He also owns the red 2000GT 😁

They're beautiful. How do you choose which one to take out!!!

That *is* a tough choice.
If I want to ensure no troubles, the BMW (my wife and I drove it from Ottawa to Vancouver without any issues at all).
For beauty, the Alfa 😀

I can imagine it is!!!
I'll be honest, I wasn't sure where Ottawa was... 4,400km is a huge drive and it's amazing it did it with no issues! I'm sure you wouldn’t even contemplate doing that in the beautiful Alfa!!!

I didn't think you were!!! Shipping it was a much better option!

Beautiful Sports Cars all around here.

But you know what? None of them would be attractive enough to let me part with my Diesel SUV.

Back in September I visited my brother who lives in Belgium, to take part in a Ford Mustang world record attempt. 1,326 mustangs drove in convoy to smash the previous record of 960. It was an amazing day!!!!

My brothers car is the red '66 in the first photo.

Any of our members here own or have owned an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, first edition 4.3l Manual? Would love to chat a bit about that car as I‘m planning on selling my beloved MGA in 2020 and am currently looking at more „modern“ replacement options. Feel free to shoot me a PM!


Cheers,

Max.
