OK, listen up! I'm in the planning stages of a trip to the Mullin Museum in Oxnard to see the huge Bugatti exhibit. See their website for more information (http://www.mullinautomotivemuseum.com/). They're not open all that often, so our opportunities are few, mostly on Saturdays. I'm thinking maybe June 14th, or July 12th (the weekend of Bastille Day, might be a great choice!). Other dates might be OK, too. Let's see an online show of hands! A nice day at the museum, maybe a lunch or dinner with fellow car crazies, could be a lot of fun.

I checked with my planning coordinator, my manager and agent and it looks like July is open for me. So, put me down as an attendee.

It's a cool collection. Including the Bugatti of the lake... Tossed into the lake to avoid an import tax.

I'd be interested in that...

Here's some pictures I took back in the early 80's. Briggs Cunningham automotive museum. New the coordinator off this great collection of cars at New Port Beach. I was very said to see the collection sold off. this is 1 of 6 royals left in the world. Me and my buddies were hanging out at Century 1 imports at Buena Park, California one day and got a call from John Burges to come down, three car magazine personal are coming down to do a write up and take pictures of the Monster car. Even got a ride in it, which is something I'll cherish all my life. The car was only insured in the museum, the back parking lot and on the back of a truck for transportation to shows. I'm truly a Bugatti car lover. Rode in Jays alantic type 57 sc when he would come to the english car show at Woodley park, by Sepulveda basin. his garage was down the sreet, so he would come down with a car, hang out an hour, take off, and come back with a different car all day..

If I'm sure this car had 36" wheels, and a 177" wheel base. sorry I couldn't make pictures better. All the handles, and window cranks are Ivory. I think this was the nicest bodied royal. the engine was a straight 8 12.7 liter engine turned aluminum block and head, off course twin cam. They originally planned for a 14.7 liter motor. Two plugs per cylinder, and the oil pan looked like it was 5 ft long.
