Sunday mornings - worth waking up for

A bit chilly yesterday but there were some amazing cars - only got a few pics off before my batteries died in the camera.

Great day at the Church of the Holy Donut....

Amazing 67 Ferrari 330 GT/C - it was the perfect background to see the sky.

Yes it is. The original location across route 29 is under construction, the location just went directly across the road.

Church of the Holy Donut, so named because for many years met in the Dunkin Donut parking lot across the street.

In the Giant shopping center (actually called something else but cannot remember what) just where 29 and 198 intersect in Burtonsville, MD.

As you can see from the pix, just about anything and everything shows up. Cars usually start rolling in around 8 am, by 10 am to 10:30 nearly everyone is gone. Sometimes the Ferrari crowd shows up en masse, and afterwards will go off on a drive...usually Ford GT, Lambo, Lotus, Porsche, Viper are welcome to tag along.

I was there - it was a really good day with lots of cars. I saw that Speedster - amazing looking but I think it is a kit. It even had historic plates. Very cool.

Could of been 'real' but the odds are a replica. Which isn't necessarily bad. There are some speedster replicas that do the original justice.

Kinda like Cobras, most are kits and look it. One or two are hard to tell, until you look under the hood, see the inner fender and see that it's fiberglass.

Or the Caterham, a 'kit' car that was authorized by Lotus to produce a new '7' and is welcome at Lotus events.

Anyway, the Speedster was parked right behind my car. Very nice. It rightfully got a lot of attention.
