With the right amount of beer, even my mind gets creative now and again. Hope it doesn't get rejected, we'll seen soon enough. Glenn

That was the great thing about this show, they are all driven in. The sounds are just fantastic. There was a TVR that looked better than the day it left the factory, mechanical art, and he races it. The lotus seven, looked very nice, and made me think of Bessie. The Allard took balls to drive, no way I would drive that at race speed. I look forward to this show every year, it keeps getting better. While all are welcome, it's not all hot rods and muscle cars.

I believe it was a Lister

I liked BTWN 6N8

Bunch of Photos

Went to a great show today and the old Meadowdale Raceway Forest Preserve. It is on the site of an old Road Course, and large sections of the old track are still in place. the show is held on what used to be the main straight. Ill add photos later

I've seen this car, not a locost, definitely not a 7. Interesting story how he got it. Bought it from a guy trying to finance a sex change operation.

Clears the head, relaxes the days tension. 45 minutes and I feel mush better

I learned a new term tonight "Crop Dusting". Funny as hell. http://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?q=militarytimes.com%3a+fart&d=27025919314906494&mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&w=806645e9,2e31785c GB

I like the color a lot, but steering wheel is on the wrong side.

I like the mechanical nature of the the model. I think that is why I enjoy the Seven so much, it is very basic.

This is a fun model I just got.

I look forward to the updates also

Thanks for the update. Scenery looks spectacular.

Wimp, wow.

Great job on the production. Waiting to see you all blow by the rest.

I can not think of a reason they could not be top mounted. I just looked at mine and it seems doable. I usually just rest my foot on a dead pedal I mounted on the left side. Pedals are fully adjustable so 36" inseam should be no problem at all. I am a 30" inseam, and was more concerned about getting the pedals close enough.

MoPho, Drove home in my minivan, with the video soundtrack playing. Made the ride home way more fun.

Jim, Excellent point with the "427".

Arboretum in South Barrington. Great show. http://www.supercarsaturdays.com/

Hi Russ, I will not be able to make it, but you all will have a great time. Please send lots of photos.

Nice Car and Coffee on a Saturday Morning. Car was well received, not that many around here.

I thought crocs like salt water......

Obama administration floats draft plan to tax cars by the mile By Pete Kasperowicz - 05/05/11 07:45 AM ET The Obama administration has floated a transportation authorization bill that would require the study and implementation of a plan to tax automobile drivers based on how many miles they drive. The plan is a part of the administration's Transportation Opportunities Act, an undated draft of which was obtained this week by Transportation Weekly. The White House, however, said the bill is only an early draft that was not formally circulated within the administration. “This is not an administration proposal," White House spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said. "This is not a bill supported by the administration. This was an early working draft proposal that was never formally circulated within the administration, does not taken into account the advice of the president’s senior advisers, economic team or Cabinet officials, and does not represent the views of the president.” News of the draft follows a March Congressional Budget Office report that supported the idea of taxing drivers based on miles driven. Among other things, CBO suggested that a vehicle miles traveled (VMT) tax could be tracked by installing electronic equipment on each car to determine how many miles were driven; payment could take place electronically at filling stations. The CBO report was requested by Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), who has proposed taxing cars by the mile as a way to increase federal highway revenues. Obama's proposal seems to follow up on that idea in section 2218 of the draft bill. That section would create, within the Federal Highway Administration, a Surface Transportation Revenue Alternatives Office. It would be tasked with creating a "study framework that defines the functionality of a mileage-based user fee system and other systems." RELATED ARTICLES White House disowns plan to tax mileage The administration seems to be aware of the need to prepare the public for what would likely be a controversial change to the way highway funds are collected. For example, the office is called on to serve a public-relations function, as the draft says it should "increase public awareness regarding the need for an alternative funding source for surface transportation programs and provide information on possible approaches." The draft bill says the "study framework" for the project and a public awareness communications plan should be established within two years of creating the office, and that field tests should begin within four years. The office would be required to consider four factors in field trials: the capability of states to enforce payment, the reliability of technology, administrative costs and "user acceptance." The draft does not specify where field trials should begin. The new office would be funded a total of $300 million through fiscal 2017 for the project.
