The Stampies go to Amelia Island 2020

We're on the way

Wow, that sounds like so much fun. Not to mention a bunch of great memories.

Say hello to Wayne Carini for us!

Family goals!

You did register for the auction, right.

I think you need a Bugatti to go with your T.

I can't even afford the replicas. Closest I can get is the free brochures for the replicas. 

Having the brochure is one step closer than me. Have fun dreaming!

Lil Stampie is slacking on pictures so here's some of mine.

Cadillac V16

There was a midengine Corvette display. This was my favorite. 

For some reason the engine cover on the C8R was blacked out. 

Some cool Fiats.

This reminded me of Nohome's Subaru 360.

In reply to Lil_Stampie :

Good taste in cars.

My favorite area each year is the race cars.

And on this one I started thinking about Jim.

These all appeared to have been built by the same shop.

I was going to compliment Lil Stampie on the improved cellphone photography over last year (iirc)... then he had to go and stick his finger in the frame of the last picture

re: black C8R window
it's to control excessive rear-engine drooling

Me and a buddy went about 6-7 years ago. We had a great time and I still remember the "Royal Potty" bathroom trailers!

For some reason I forgot my hat and that resulted in the worst sunburn since I was a kid. The top of my head shed skin for days. Gross.  (I, alas, do not share the Stampie hair gene - mine grew at the speed of sound until I was 19 and then it fell out.) 

Rereading this before I post it seems the Amelia Island Concours reminds me of bathrooms, hair loss, and sunburn.  I think I need to go again and create better memories!

Thanks for all the photos - it's an amazing event.

Until you posted this, I thought it was old Caddys from the earlier photos.  Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Or maybe they didn't have time to reinstall the engine?

What does a ticket cost to just look around?

In reply to Aaron_King :

If you buy early enough it's $100 for adult free 12 and under and I think $50 for kids 13-17. That goes up to $150 at the gate for adults. I was looking at the schedule Saturday and noticed that some dealerships in Jacksonville had tickets for $125 so I hit the Lexus dealer for mine. Yes expensive but to be able to see multiple cars that I never thought I'd see in person during my lifetime it was worth it. 

Expensive enough to keep away the people who don't watch while their kids touch cars?
