Preparing for an upcoming Concours d'Elegance in Santa Barbara. It looked like the pits at Le Mans!


06 Cabriolet and 08 GT3


Final shot,--what Cayennes are REALLY for.

 

Poodles are crappy dogs.......

 

Thanks for the great space to work all day, Dan! I hope you enjoyed the Football game... and it's festivities

See you tomorrow.

 

Tell me about the lens used in that first picture?

 

Just my usual, least exotic wide-angle,--AF-S Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8 on a Nikon D3.

 

Dan, you're a hospitable chap and your garage looks lovely.

I'm considering a white floor for my garage and was wondering how your paint is holding up? Any tips appreciated.

 

Great layout!

 

Dan,
Nice motorpool!!

 

And what looks like a 1980's VW Vanagon also.

They're great dogs, they just get goofy haircuts.

 

You did of course notice that a Scottie was supervising the whole group

 

Poodles are the original metrosexuals.

Good personalities usually.

 

Nice pics and garage Dan.
Do you do orange cars?

 

Only orange TURBOS!

White floor,--holding up okay. Floor jacks are brutal on them. (Griots paint).

1987.5 Vanagon -- great parts hauler (and wood, and rocks...)

We did pretty well,--a first for the GT3, and a second for the Cabriolet. The cab had 322.5 points out of 325 (not bad for 42,000 miles). You know they even expect us to empty the ash trays for concours!

 

Wow, congratulations. Now you can start hauling your firewood in the Cab again.

 

Is there a particular reason you choose to put the hard top on for a concours? Do they require it? Just curious.

My son loves the hard top on ours, but I don't have the winch system so it won't be going on too often.
