I get the two side rides but I can't identify the blue ride in the middle.  Of course, sightings like that don't happen here.

Yeah I tried to zoom but my light turned green. It was a Huracan.

@GrateEggspectations - the weather gods are taking care of you these days.

@lousubcap: Hey Frank. Yes, it looks like the low to mid 20s all week. Have taken advantage to do a lot of work on the yard. Hope you and your crew are all well!

That ^^^^^ must be nice. We are still high 80’s and low 90’s here. With that said, we got lucky this year. It’s typically still mid 90’s.

Yes, Scottie. This type of weather is my favourite. Days are comfortable, and evenings and nights are cool and great for sleeping. Last night, we had all windows open while watching a movie (“El Jeff’s” - great, food-related film) and had the most glorious of breezes running through the home. Wifey had me run the fireplace for a bit before we went to bed.

Not sure about the validity of sporting a man bun while driving a big Healey.

If in the UK, visit Trebah gardens in Cornwall, owned by Donald Healey in the 60s.

Saw this gem.  Not sure what original color is.  Other side is equally interesting.

That’s a Johnny Cash special.

Not sure how they were produced, but from that pic, it seems like they would just paint the cars the factory colors and swap parts.  I think they should do a throwback with current models!

Edit: My first 6 or 7 cars were vws.  My dad had the old vans/beetles, etc.

Local dealer had a wrapped 2021 a few months back.

Where is the turquoise and dark purple? Without those, this looks more Google-ish and less Harlequin-ish to me.

It may have been a smaller wrap shop that doesn't do custom wrap colors or have access to them. I know bigger wrap shops will print their own custom and color wraps.

Not exactly an “exotic spotting”, but I thought this would be of interest, mileage ranking of currently-available EVs:

A pro post count booster would have put 1 picture per post, 5 for the price of 1.

I unfortunately didn't get a picture but I saw this rolling up to a stop light yesterday. Early 30's Rolls Royce Phantom II Shooting Brake. 



It was rolling art.

That is taking "living in the land of high rollers" to a new level.
I'm sure there are fringe benefits to that ride unless he is truly a spoiled kid.

Please tell me this is a joke.
