At least the Bentley has been endowed with some semblance of it's previous grace (not the right word, but my brain refuses to let me know what it should be) with the addition of the wood-work.
The less said about the Roller, the better. |

Thanks E.B. Are you sure the RR is still what it used and is supposed to be? Aking because the rad emblem has been removed. As it is garaged near my location, I can detail the "Jules", a Dakar built, which was/is based on a Toyota chassis using a Chevy engine. With such "mods" in principle you're not allowed to call it a RR anymore. Unless a special allowance.
@ Mike: sorry! As a reminder (has been discussed in another part of this forum):https://www.leshardis.com/2021/01/au...ce-des-sables/ https://www.facebook.com/automoto.ma.../?locale=fr_FR |

Don't at all know enough about them to know real s replica but given the house it was parked at real is distinctly possible. When you have a ton of Lola, a 962 and Jags in your garage there's a chance of real thing
Oh and he was out driving his 74 RSR on the street and yes, yes it has a plate on it as a 74 Porsche cause Georgia don't really care |

It would be great, but I don’t think it would fit in the garage.

Thats a lot of metal there. Plus is that a vinyl roof I see. Very period correct.
Not sure about the garage, more worried whether it would fit between the gates in the driveway! |

And do they have tow hitches to pull the bowsers along to keep the fuel flowing?

How dare you insinuate the 460ci is inefficient! It does a tremendous job of turning fuel into noise and heat. As an added bonus, it will go 8 miles on a gallon with a little bit of torque.

And after breathing and venting through the emissions it makes a good mid-100ish hp but enough torque to to rotate the earth

Torque is the real power.

I haven't seen anything cool in days because it's too damn cold. Somebody in Australia post a Commodore or something.

We have some blokes stuck in a harbour somewhere in NZ. Ask them to post a hollow view from the container (racing cars and stuff inside).

I didn't get a picture but black 296 on Roswell Rd today was about the best thing I've seen in a minute. Or at least I think 296, can't keep up anymore with the Ferrari designs

Now you know a lot about the cars hosting our roads, imagine the shock when last week I spotted a yellow C7 ZR1 'Vette in full trim, gliding through the trafic in front of Galeries Lafayette. More pictures here https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galeries_Lafayette

C7s are rad. The last of the Vettes. Pro tip - Next time you see one, you have to give him the universal hand signal for "light em up" and yell "Do it for Dale!".
