McEric,

I never get tired of the pics you post from that collection of cars... absolutely beautiful!

Whats up with your ride? Any new lightness added?

Bernie..
I have sort of started to focus a bit on the suspension at the moment.. it was getting tired! ahahaha! and I have lots of track days lined up this year..... so it's a MUST DO type situation...
My quest for lightness NEVER ends though.... I try to post things from time to time that are cool to me.. and brother IT IS ALL COOL! I never get tired of looking at them...

Eric,

The picture with the (2) Carrera GTs is awesome. Please take more pictures. Maybe I missed this but how do you have access to such awesome cars. Those are so sweet. Thanks.

Fabulous -- ironic - I just this minute got home from the paint shop and he showed me a 356 hacked up so bad it was a crime against humanity. This restores balance to the univerise (or a tiny slice of it).

Here are a few I had taken a while back of the 55 550 that was owned by Jean Behra.. It was French racing blue from the factory.. but one of thePO's painted it silver. Mr D is havig it restored and put back to it's french racing blue in the next year by someone in Cali... so one day this bad boy will be back to it's old self. with the 4-camer back in the rear and the tank full of fuel!!

This 550 has got to be my favorite.. it is simply crazy cool! I think it's over the top that Jean B drove this car and all..

I'm trying to decide if the Cgt in the one pict is overshadowing this one, or getting overshadowed.

Ahh decisions.

Hawk, what I think is cool is that the CGT's sort of bookend one another.. I like the 58 CGT better.. but hey that's just me... but I wouldn't kick the 04 CGT out of bed for driping oil either though..

You bet. Putting them next to each other like that, was it fated, or planned?

Either way, they are beautiful. And they do belong there together. Very nice.

I really envy you being close to your father-in-laws place to see those on a common basis. Not to many exotics out here in Utah.
