Not a good shot... but a super rare Bentley. Looked imposing in person.

Seen in the village yesterday ~

Not the most glamorous parking place, but a pretty damn cool car.

For the Porsche fans. Stored in the basement of the mechanics shop. Just a bunch of parts and non-running cars. Lots of "patina". Fun excursion and escape from the current reality.

Unfortunately he's a collector and you know how they are. Everything comes in and nothing goes out. If you're lucky, in a decade or so he might say "okay, you can make me an offer. I need to make room."

Bernina hill climb from quite a few years ago.
Guess which are my two dream cars.

I can't guess what you dream about. But for myself each time I scrolled to the next photo I changed my mind. But I'd go first for the T35, providing it's not a Tecla, and then after a lot of consideration for the 30/98 -- but not after finding out it's a replica! OK, the Birdcage and please don't tell that's a replica too.

If we're talking about just tarmac hillclimbs, the Carrera RSR (or clone) would be nice, but if I'm doing a full vintage-rally campaign I'm going with the Stratos 🥰

Similar to our drag race team's first car but our sheet metal was I think a year newer and a hard top. I gotta check on our desk top as we have some pictures of our racing stuff there.

Last year at a local classic auto show. The grounds were very tight to get some decent overall pictures of the individual cars, and I like details, so here are a few close-ups and what not...

And to end, this crazy Bugatti Type 43 from 1927, which I particularly liked: IMG-8602.jpg

With my Speedy photobombing it 😜
