More positive effects of NorCal rain...

[COOP]

3 hours in the garage last night with a bottle of red wine, slowly waxing a car (P21S Concours Look Carnauba) that had no need of waxing, as the raindrops exploded relentlessly against the garage roof. Simple pleasures...

COOP, ride looks so good! Will you be in Burlingame with it this year?

[Healey3000]

I have a bottle of wine.  I have a car.  I have wax.  I have a garage.

 

There will be more rain.  You are most welcome (Fremont)!

Do you mean Brisbane?  Definitely hoping to get my cars there this year, as long as I can get out of work on a Saturday and the weather is nice...I wimped out last year due to the rain but still enjoyed the show sans 02s.

Brisbane, Burlingame, let it rain! It'll give you another opportunity to shut that garage door, open a bottle of Cote De Rhone and break a bar of clay...

 

I hope to see you and everyone else in BRISBANE, CA. this spring. Bring wine!!!

Hi COOP,

  that M2 of yours is gorgeous.  You've probably been asked this a thousand times, but what wheels are those?  They really fit the car.  Very sporty!

Thank you very much John. The wheels are HRE 535 forged units that I had made for the car about 17 years ago. 5.5 X 15" front, 6 X 15" rear. Many years ago, I was reading an article about a modified 911 in European Car Magazine and the car was shod with this wheel...I became instantly smitten and thought it would be perfect for my car. What I like best about them is the fact that the centers don't come out all the way to the edge of the wheel, which makes them look smaller than they are and therefore more period-appropriate (just my opinion). They're also very light and strong.
