 photo 2014-08-25_19-03-32_HDR_zpsdjwclkot.jpg I work at a resort in West Virginia and we had a Northeast Corvette club pass through enroute to the Corvette Museum with ~150-200 cars. I thought I's share this one in particular as I have never saw one, but have heard of it...  photo IMG_20140825_190954_703_zpslerkkuex.jpg Callaway C12 (Car 2 of 19 Road Cars)  photo IMG_20140825_190937_408_zpsozfb0mcd.jpg  photo IMG_20140825_190906_701_zpsynckt7z5.jpg  photo IMG_20140826_100549_592_zpsc80lociw.jpg

Very cool guy that owned it and told me the story of the car and how he acquired it...

On our second anniversary, Mrs 4cf and I went to a resort called Chateau Elan near Atlanta. Little did I realize, it was a half mile or so from Road Atlanta...lots of cool stuff to see that week. She was a trooper, and even accepted that I NEEDED to spend an afternoon there, and was happy to go on an adventure! Here are a few shots displaying a car club who was meeting for lunch and 18 holes at the Chateau on a random Tuesday in October...

We had a BLAST!!! ( By we, I mean mostly me, and she was happy that I was happy )

I saw this cool old Audi in the end of June 2013 in Grand Junction, CO this one time.

I creeped and took a picture from the driver's seat of our Mazdaspeed Miata. I do so hope he didn't mind.

I saw this at the Frog Follies last weekend. A turbo Chevy 250:

The truck thing it was in was NOT my style, but I was drooling at the thought of this drivetrain in a '60-'66 Chevy/GMC Pickup or Suburban.

I saw an MGB Roadster at a car show with a Hardtop (which is awkward looking), a set of aerodynamic headlight covers, a 32V Northstar under the hood, a manual box and wire wheels. That engine was literally stuffed in that engine bay. Looked like a well done conversion with a ton of work done to make it all fit.

I took pictures, but I need to get them off the wife's phone later.

I need to find the picture of the radical Lotus Elise at the last autocross and put it up.

Fun tidbits I wanted to share as they happened but didn't:

A BMW X6 M on the way to work... with VW badges in place of the Roundels - Awesomeness.

Had to dodge an orange cone in the middle of the roadway on the way to work one morning - autocross goodness on the way to work is an omen of great things.

Maserati pulled over near my work. Not that it's at all rare to see these where I live, but the particular area where I work is low-income/high crime. Cop was talking to the driver through the REAR passenger window with a hand on his weapon. Good chance it was stolen...lol

Today on the Ohio Turnpike, headed East, I saw a Tesla with plates from the State of Oregon.
Could he be driving cross-country in 65 mile stints?

If was an S model sedan, he'd be doing it in about 300 mile stints, and hitting the super charging stations to recharge in about half an hour. If it was a roadster, I think they can manage about 100 miles on a steady highway cruise.

Edit: Wikipedia says the roadster's range is over 200 miles!

I saw this in Beverly Hills one Saturday and sold an 8"x10" photo on ebay saying it was some famous "what's her name" actress. Somebody paid me $12.

You never know what you'll find when walking around Chicago. Yes, those are exhaust pipes coming out of the hood.

I saw them heading to the Biltmore House on Tuesday. I have never seen so many versions of the same car in person. They must have stretched for nearly a mile. The lead group got a police escort into the house's entrance. I didn't like the C7 in pictures but it is a good looking car in person. I was driving in the opposite direction so no pictures.

I thought this was cool.

Looks like it was just parked and left sitting.
