I don't usually go out of my way for a cars and coffee event, but I happened to find myself at this one. Some of you may enjoy the show. Abt 30 pics so I'll string it out. Couple of nice GT40's too.

Personal favorite (after the GT40).

I'd go out of my way for that one too. I've seen just about everything, but I have never seen a Vector in person. Thanks for the pictures. Where was this event? I see plates from all over.
 
It was at SPA-Francorchamps. We were there for the 24hr and a couple of track days and it just happened to coincide.

Tell us about your on-track experience. How did you like the track and what were you driving?
 
I misspoke-the silver car in the aerial shot isn't a Vector. It's an Isdera. Wow. Never saw one of those in person either.
 
We really enjoy SPA. It's our third visit and a couple of hundred laps there. Big elevations, long at 7km, lots of history. We will be back there next week before we head home. In between we've had 7 days on the Nurburgring in prep for a race there in Sept. Among other things at SPA, we drove the BAC Mono and will have it again next week. Nice machine, F3 gearbox but could use a bit more power. Quick for a mechanical grip car. We also finished our German national race license there, but used a Lotus Exige Cup for that.

Thanks for sharing those pictures. Some really unusual cars, must have been awesome to see in person.
 
No your average cars and coffee !
Thanks for posting !
More pictures and stories please!!!
 
Nice pics. Love Spa.

Mono is a pretty cool looking little car. Price tag seems excessive though. Camilo will be jealous that you drove it.
 
Great pictures! One of my favorite places!

Agree, it's a bit pricey.
 
Ok, Ron
SPA has a nice little kart track inside the main track. So we took the opportunity on Tuesday for some cross training while we were there.We planned this in advance, so some nice high performance karts were brought in and a couple of guys with some credentials. Big big fun for an entire day. We even had some rain and had a couple of changes in tires to suit. Really beneficial training.
