Not a huge fan of the color scheme on the Agera RS, but love it.
Assuming that's the NV record-setting car? The owner lives in the LA area.

LC500s. Last one for now I will stop hogging this thread lol








The black panther car on rubber bands. Wheel/tire combo is absurd, but I like the blue paint color.

I was at Road Atlanta for a track night on Wednesday. My dad was kind enough to let me drive his car however we had mechanical issues so I only got to do a lap and a half or so before rolling back into the pits.

Pic of my old man in his XKR coming down the main straight.


A couple pics of the grid for the track night



And now for the cool stuff that I saw in the main pits:

Sorry I messed up the picture size. I am posting from my laptop on vacation. It was a bucket list dream of mine to drive at Road Atlanta. Hopefully I get to go back again someday and do more than 1 lap.

​​​​​​​Yea I usually don't post photos of such a common car as a Turbo S but I really loved the spec on this one.

Posted partly in jest. Big fan of the classic Mini.
The Gullwing would've had me all over it the whole time.

I had a 6'7" tall friend (same height as me) who owned three different classic minis, over a period of a few years. That thing was tiny. I don't remember, but I believe they had a 5 speed manual... Which was kind of pointless, because you couldn't put it in 5th because the shift lever would be smashing your leg

You shoulda seen the looks on people's faces when they would see two 6'7" tall guys stepping out I believe he had aftermarket seat rails that would push the seats back a few more inches, so that he could drive

My dad knew a guy, in the 80s, when he was pretty actively racing, that would run a classic Mini. Don't recall exactly, but he was a large guy & put a couple Olympic bench press weights in the passenger floorboard to balance the car out.

If I remember correctly, the mini didn't even have a spring suspension. It just used these hard rubber cones instead. Crazy.

6'3" here, I am right in the sweet spot! Although I can't wear a helmet in certain sports cars. I tried to wear a helmet while tracking a Gallardo and it was very uncomfortable.

Never sat in an old Mini but they look like go karts when parked next to "normal" cars. I would love to drive one some time they look like a blast.

I've tried, unsuccessfully, to buy 5 190Es over the years. 2: 2.3-16 & 3 Sportline LEs.

Really?
I passed on one in Marble Falls a few years ago. It was in great condition considering the years.
I think it was mostly stock too w/ spoiler. I can't remember the price exactly.. it must have been ~10k.
I also passed on a 2001 E55 in great condition too for $5k (w/ OG monoblocks which I love).
I regret both decisions.

The 2.3-16s were all in Houston, all Smoke Silver, 1 with a non bled-out stopwatch (common issue on the 2.6-16). The Sportline LEs were in Houston & Austin.
The Sportline LE was a limited production run of 700 cars IIRC. Basically a 2.6 I6 190E with the interior from a 2.3-16.
