Hit up the St. Pete GP with the kiddo over the weekend.
This used to be such a good event, but over the years it has declined...still a good time though!

 

My recently departed (written off) 944 S2. Now going back to my roots and finishing my ‘78 Mk1 golf..with a 1.3 G40 (supercharged) engine

 

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is pure performance and joy!
Shot taken on the Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse which was so much fun with it. Lots of burnt rubber smell and a big grin on the face...

 

Sorry to hear about the 944. My brother in law may loose his, we'll see.
His garage flooded last week with about 18" of water and aside from the interior being soaking wet, he has not been able to get it started.
We'll see...
Now I need to see some pics of the MK1!

 

That’s bad luck. I should imagine the DME (engine management unit/ Brain/ECU) is water damaged. They are located under the passenger side (U.K.) foot well.

 

He had it on the battery tender for a couple of days but still could not get it to start.
He was just going to go buy a new battery and pop that in and see what happens.
I don't know enough about the 951's to know where all of the important parts are...
I told him to take out seats and carpet and he never even did that!I pulled up the rear carpet myself as much as I could and there was standing water in the pan.
Oh well, his car...not mine lol. I told him now is the time to gut it and make it a track car...with an LS1 swap hah.





You can see the water line. Luckily, the water was not as high where the car was.

 

Subie FTW!!!

 

while we're on red cars...

 

I spotted this ‘64 Maserati 5000GT last year, casually parked up in a boat yard on the shores or Lake Como, Italy. One of 34. This particular one used to be owned by Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh. If the owner drives this to the boat yard, I wonder what their boat is like!

Snowing in Toronto, winter is here.

 

Another rare beast for a gloomy Friday in London. A friends ‘77 400 convertible. One of very few converted in the 80’s. I would prefer one with a roof, but it’s still a nice old motor! You can probably just make out my Seamaster!

have a good weekend all.

UK registration on left hand car in Switzerland? How did this happen? The 720s is just the car to have in my opinion (yes, I am biased...)

 

My trusty daily underneath the Millau Viaduct in southern France. It’s the tallest bridge in the world, with the tallest supporting column being 1104ft above the ground. Quite impressive!

 

Happy New Year KOV - you have completely rekindled my affection for TZs! Let me reciprocate with this especially toothsome image:

 

Last run out on NYE before lockdown, lots of grit on the roads but no snow

 

Double like

 

Ever seen one of these in the flesh or should I say steel?

1954 Kaiser Special, original California black plates.

 

Awaiting the thaw...
