Saturday At Autobooks, III

A very cool Saturday this week, with the members of the local Alfa Romeo club bringing out their cars, and several other cool cars besides. I have to confess to first borrowing my friend Justin's camera for the day, then forgetting to bring it, so it's the same lousy phone-pics we usually get. I know, I suck. Still there's a good number of pics, and some really cool cars. The day was capped off for me by a ride in the very same Daytona from last week's pics. Hat-tip to my new best friend Marty for taking me on the ride of the year, even after the H2 nudged off one of the Ferrari's bumper "eyebrows." I am wondering how I managed to keep from photographing any of the GTVs at the store, but oh well... Sorry this installment is a bit late (as if people were waiting for it), but it was my birthday on Monday, and I've been distracted. Here we go then.

Lancia Fulvia HF Fanalone: I'll get more and better pics of this at a later date, it's spectacular, and a treat to ride in.


Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider:


Alfetta GTVs and GTV-6:


Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider:


Mercedes AMG CLK DTM: That's a lot of initialism, even for an epic car.


Cadillac V12 Convertible: Wish I'd been able to get more pics of this one. Another week perhaps.


Jaguar XK120 Roadster:


Lotus Europa S1:


Well, that's about all I was able to take this week. I'm trying to borrow a camera in time for car night this week, and maybe I'll have it for the Hot Rod Art book signing this week. Here's hoping I remember to bring it!

Saturday At Autobooks, I.



Just a new thing I'm trying in order to bring out some of the very cool cars to which I'm almost constantly exposed. Alas, not a whole lot going on this weeked, but I was surprised and happy when this Borgward Isabella TS Coupe pulled into the lot. I think I've seen this car on the road before, but this was my first chance to see it up close. If the interior's condition is anything to go by, then this is a very original car.
