Technically morning.....
Gotta get the tax extension forms filled out tomorrow, then clean the kitchen, then taking the Duc out to play. |

Tax....Bleh! 3 Months before I need to think about that.
The bike ride would be fun. I haven't been on a road bike for donkeys ages. The last time was on my dads '72 CB125 many moons ago. He still has that old bucket (only owner), and I told him I'll restore it when he's done with it. It'll be a nice little project. How big is that pup of yours now?

Someplace in the oilfields by Taft:
 Someplace by Buttonwillow:  DB6. The owner also brought along a red DB4 for the first 2 days. He won the People's Choice award.  A couple Z's. But no 510 guys.

Radu's ride:
 The only entrant with curb feelers. (Do you even know what those are, Max?):    How cool. I don't think I've ever seen one on the road, before:

I have a soft spot for E9s. I think there were 3 or 4.
 A total restorod E9 (M motor transplant, Wilwood brakes, HRE wheels, etc). But gorgeous. My favorite BMW color, Inca Orange.   We killed a lot of bugs this weekend.  Obviously Porsche heavy event. It's organized by a Porsche shop and honestly Porsches are the type of 25-50 year-old cars you can absolutely flog for near 1000 miles and not have anything break.

The first evening we had dinner at Estrella Warbird Museum in Paso Robles:

On day 2 we took a trip up to Bruce Canepa's showroom/shop/musuem facility. The stuff inside there is incredible. You would have thought you had died and gone to Heaven, Max.

Max, the engineer in you would have enjoyed visiting that warbird museum. And you would have absolutely loved wandering through Canepa's shop. Not only the cars on display, but also the restoration shop. Lots of neat and historical race car technology in there. Denny Hulme's '68 McLaren Can-Am championship car. An ex-Jackie Oliver Shadow Can-Am car. George Follmer's '72 Can-Am winning 917-10. All in various states of being dismantled for restoration/service. A bare 962 carbon fiber tub. About 6 959s in for service/upgrades. Neat stuff. Oh, and a Veyron just sitting there.

Shadow Can-Am chassis. Wheels stacked in the background:
 Velocity stacks:  917-10:  CF 962 tub:  Denny Hulme's '68 McLaren:  He offers routine service, too (there was another Daytona Spyder undergoing restoration, stripped down to bare metal):
