Interesting things that caught my eye at Speedfest in the pits and car show






the above is an Alpine Tiger... it had a Shelby 289 shoehorned into a tiny english car... sounds familiar huh?




the above seems to be a method of cooling the intake charge... must work, it's this 1917 Chevrolet race car



This is one of the few real racing Gt40s




Comparison of rear air dams















 This is Tailgating!




the San Diego British Car Club Council show at Liberty Station







 Deloreans were built in Ireland



 Barnfind from So Cal, just pulled out 2 weeks ago
 on the center console os a valve cover racer


 Above, best sign board

 Best custom interior/dash/steering wheel

The above is a Berkley
great company truck!






What the new Mini coupe looks like





Quite a variety of Rolls Royce
And Lotus changed a lot too
Best display









 above, best cultural interior that fits the car show
 Quite a variety of Bentleys too


British cars that were at the show, Alpine, Austin, Delorean, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Land Rover, Berkley, MG, Morris, TVR, Cooper, Triumph, Rootes, Morgan and maybe a couple I can't think of... but the number of Britsh built cars is surprising... and if you wonder why the new Mini is at the British car show... when it is a BMW... and you'd think German, well, it's built in Oxford Britian. Has 20 some percent of it's parts from France too.
