Here's the pictures from yesterday. Several replies will be needed to get them all in. I'm organizing by a theme rather than by strict time.
Note I have a video that is going to take some time to resize. It's 54MB. It may be a day or two before I figure this out since I've never done video before. The camera I used was my Nikon D300s. Normally I prefer the full-frame of the D700. I got the D300s to replace my failing D100 as a second body, and it is a DX format sensor, but also does HD video, and I knew there would be some cars fired up so I used the smaller frame camera.
First set is "general" photos.
Ford GTs. In all there were 5 there. I didn't know about show parking since I got my ticket on line and it wasn't mentioned. Those who called the museum to get theirs got "preferred parking". The rest of us were up in the nosebleed section.
Allard. I don't know if it is an original or recreation but it was gorgeous.
Ferrari 458 Italia. The paint was really cool. It changed colors in the light but appeared to be a grey with a splash of green.
There were lots of original Cobras brought there by their owners (besides the ones in the museum). One especially is my favorite because its owner drives it. There will be more on it later. It is the 3rd one to the right (with the person standing by it). The second red car is an original AC Ace with the 6. Again more later.
Lots of Mustangs, but I didn't get very many pictures of them. Don't know why, just too many others to get this time and I've seen most of them before too. This KR was one I hadn't seen.
A Kirkham "bare naked lady".
Bob Bondurant (left) and Bill Murray (right). Bill (along with his brother Dave) is one of the principals of the collection museum and a world-class Cobra restorer. Most of the Miller cars were restored by them. Oh and he's a damn good racer too, racing Cobras and GT40s in Vintage Races all over.
GT40 "J7" inside the museum. It couldn't be started because the starter went out when it was on a trip to one of the 50th parties. Dave is rebuilding the starter.
Photo of Larry Miller and Otto Werlin. Otto was the owner of the black Cobra I mentioned above and a great supporter of the museum. His (now Peter's) car resides in the Museum over the winter months.
Bob Bondurant driving a 1000HP Cobra replica. It sounded nasty and from the owners description it was a good thing there were no law enforcement officers nearby.
1000HP Cobra engine twin turbo.
Inside the museum.
