I'll have to bring down the SVX once I get the power steering functional. Is this a regularly occuring meet?

Third Saturday of the month at Zingerman's Roadhouse in the Westgate Plaza, right off Jackson Road. There are exits off I-94 for Jackson Road. Event is officially 7:30-9:00, but the Porsches all show up early to get the front row.

I talked to that guy briefly. He also owns some sort of rear engine kit car with a Vette engine. I've forgotten the name already.

Thank you. I can wander around pretty well, but my feet are sore the rest of the day.

I was sent a photo of the Austin A30/35 with a VW pickup by a friend.......

The paint job on that A35 makes it look like an old Rolls caught in a funhouse mirror.  That VW pickup, on the other hand, nice ...

Very cool and thanks for sharing. Personally, I like these events. It’s an excuse to get the car out of the garage and an opportunity to check out some local machines. I plan to attend the one in Sanford, Florida, early next month.

In reply to David S. Wallens :

I like going for the unusual stuff. There are always scads of Porsches, Corvettes, BMWs etc, but the real interest is in something different. There was a guy a couple of months ago with a Passat that he had lopped the roof off of and entered the Chop Top Challenge. Most folks just shook their heads... I enjoyed a long talk with guy.

Zingerman's Roadhouse is one of my favorite AA restaurants.  I'm a fan of the fried chicken.

Now that I've been out of that loop about 5 years, I probably wouldn't know anyone anymore.
