    Shop Tour

    These are pics from an Orange County New Years day Shop tour I took with a group of car people. It was interesting and worth the time. Hope some of you at least get some enjoyment out of this. First was a stop at the British Car Shop with an Iso Rivolta undergoing full restoration, and a fiberglass sports car whose origin I don't have a clue. It looks kinda like an Apollo but isn't. The next is a custom Corvette Chassis at Cambra Speed Shop. Then we stopped at the Roadside Cafe. Then on to Coast Corvettes, with Chucks private collection and his C-5 Race car. There were six Shops total and lots to see.

    "No. My Finnish is fine; I am from Finland. Do you have any water?"

    The fibreglass car is a Peerless
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Lovely. Hope Chuck pulls some of those cars down every once in awhile to give them some exercise.

    Wow, that's great!

    Car shops are always fun, you never know what's in it. My dad's shop was storing some guy's Rover. I'll post those to a "Saw a Thread", I don't want to hijack this one.

    The custom Corvette chassis caught my attention.
