  • Richmond VA Car Shows

    Well Guys and Gals,
    Last Saturday was a FUN day in RIVER CITY.
    I have never been to a CARS AND COFFEE RICHMOND so the guys at the LUFTEKNIC shop convinced me that I should go EVEN if I had to get up at the crack of dawn.
    I fired up the trusty Roadster and met Chris with his 1958 Speedster there. It was about a 28 mile junket up Interstate 95 over the James River to Regency Mall.
    I imagine there must have been at least 300 cars turn out for this event.
    Ferraris, Lambos, you name it in street rods etc.
    So here are our 356s.

    After a bit in comes this cool 1957 Coupe that I didn't recognize.
    Roland Peacock from up the road in Hopewell and his wife going out to dinner.

    The reason I didn't recognize it was because it has had a facelift.
    This is what it looked like at Classics On The Green last September 2014.

    It was a fun day.
    Next Sunday I head for VIR and the IMSA Race.
    I got a suction cup camera mount so I can do movies of our track time.
