Beautiful restored early Indian

The beautiful Ferrari's that were at the Dana Point Concours

The guy with the hat on is Drew, he runs Russo and Steel auctions... nice guy. Races a trans am race car at Speedfest every year

1935 Mercedes Benz 130 Cabrio limo

Cigar lighter in a car? Huh, I've never seen one before

Looks almost like a front hood, but it's a rear engined car, so it's not the trunk, but it's in that area behind the rear tires. The two bumps seem similar to headlight bumps

the right way to sell drinks at a car show... Rastarita, the Mobile Margarita Truck vintage delivery van. From Rasta Taco, a mobile gourmet taco cart catering company

I like this style of catering/drinks vans... it's got class to be relevant at a car show, design enough to have Americana proudly but subtly in front of you... and it's not slathered is bad vinyl wrap or garish colors.

Well done Rastarita! My compliments
http://rastataco.wordpress.com/ for more from this company and https://plus.google.com/photos/109390585637023262355/albums/5758162868464465889/5758165657788781586?banner=pwa for photos of the Rastarita van in action at the Dana Point and the following photo is from their link

Electric motorcycle may be it's designation to the DMV... but I know a fast car when I see it

read about it here http://green.autoblog.com/2011/04/26/t3-motion-r3-three-wheelers-video/

but in short, with only one rim in back, even though it has twin motorcycle tires on it... nice trick - that, it is classified in the decades old loophole, as a motorcycle, and this allows it to not have to be crash tested. Not be registered as a car, and since it's electric, it doesn't have to get smogged here in California.

It's about 30thou, give or take 5thou, and the company is going to have a difficult time finding a lot of buyers is my guess... a lot of competition for 90 miles, at 30 thou, in the electric car realm... and then add all the motorcycles, mini cars, etc etc that get superb gas mileage... hmmmm

Why is it at the Dana Point Concours? It's a new vehicle... shouldn't qualify... unless you can pay your way in . huh, can you pay to showcase / advertise a new car at a concours? Well, I guess if that is what it takes to have an event on a nice golf course, on the shore of the Pacific, in southern California...

A guy, a car, a story... thanks to Frazer for sharing his video expertise in making this!

Like SCCA racing, or Road America in Wisconsin? A new website just started in April covers all the Road America events, plus more car guy stuff in general

these are just a couple screen shots of the coverage of road racing, motorcycle events, and Nascar at Road America, and the next couple posts are sourced from Andy and Snowden's website... so you get an idea of what they offer, see them at http://www.tripsandturns.com/
