I had the opportunity to drop by the Barber Motorsports Museum last week while in Birmingham. While I'm not a motorcycle nut, I was impressed with their extensive collection of bikes and Lotus cars. But what caught my eye, down in a section that was currently off limits to mortals was this little gem. I tried to bribe the guide to get me down to see her but they were in a restoration process and could not let the public on the bottom floor.

Car museums are like Zoo's to me...infinitely sad...things of wonder and beauty in a place they were never meant to be.
I understand the educational value of Zoo's and Car Museums...particularly for our younger generations...but it is still a bit melancholic.
Cheers,

I agree. I think the Peterson Automotive Museum in LA is one of the only that get their cars out on the street every so often.

Adrian, I did not, which was one of the reasons I wanted to get down there. It looked like a bone stock S4 with man hole wheels. Nothing said to me special except that it is 928 special.![evilgrin](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/evilgrin.gif)
Guide told me to call ahead next time and he would get me down there. I was all ready to drop a $20.00 in his pocket to get me down to that floor.

Outside the museum was the Porsche Motorsport Driving Experience. They were running 991s and 991 GT3s around the track. What I would have given to be out there with them.
