This is a nice event where a lot of nice cars show up.

This is my first time but I've seen pictures from last year.
It's a mix of new super-cars, old classics and hot-rods. Last year they had Bugatti Veyron, Lambo Murciélago,some Ferraris and a GT3.
Those are all cars belonging to Intel employees

All ready to go!
Over the weekend I had to do some work for this:
Refuel - the front trunk cable decided to snap again so I dropped the bumper. While in there.... I installed fog lights and, since the front valance was completely smashed on the driver side, I removed it, fixed it and repainted it, including matching texture. 2 hours of hammering...
Then reinstalled everything and washed the car. This includes removing the tar that stocked from the road sine Friday the city decided to repair my street.
Made a nice sign for the car.
Now all is ready. I'm crossing my fingers so nothing will go wrong from mow on.

BTW, while dropping the bumper I had the option to switch to a nice set of chrome. I decided to stay black and the chrome will be in the classifieds shortly.

I was once told that in high-tech there are no weekends. Apparently, there are no working days as well.

Maybe thats why the stock has been stuck in the low 20's $ for the past decade!

Just a teaser since I need to resize the pictures;
Here are a couple of 914s that attended the event and a couple of Alfa Spider as well.

And here is my car with the open trunk showing the Tara top. People gathered with curiosity and were surprised that the car has no engine

Here are the pictures.
I don't like the new cars so I skipped all the new American muscle cars, Bimmers, Porsches & so.
There was a very large attendance and a lot of people came looking at the cars. I took the pictures in the show setup time so you don't see the crowds.
