I had a customer bring in his 330 in one day for an oil change, he supplied his own oil and filters so I charged him the same labor as I would charge for doing any other oil change, $25. He thought it was great since it was the cheapest service the car had in it's lifetime, I was just happy to spend some time with the car learning about it and probably would have done it for free.

Bwahahaha! Toys for the kids of the super rich.

**refried** · 07-05-2021, 08:23 PM

On the way home they headed to Bellevue, I'm sure they sold a few to the neighborhood kids. They sell them more as something to add to your collection, if you have a 300 SL why not have a 1/2 scale one.

They're definitely not toys, they're built as well as any show car and the workmanship and finish are incredible.

Slightly different speed than most posted here -- but next year taking a week off to ride along and play back up wrench on a family member's 1918 American LaFrance in a rally. It's a ridiculous car.. 9.4L inline 4. Headers but no exhaust. Chain drive. No front brakes.

70 is Old Yeller, a California custom race car from the 50s
57: Lola Mk 1?

**refried** · 07-06-2021, 02:11 PM

11 is Bill Thomas's Cheetah built in 1964
111 is a Lotus 7
26 and 4 are 911's
70 is Old Yeller II
If I remember correctly the GT40 was an unfinished '66 chassis that sat unfinished until the 80's

1977 Porsche RSR

1986 replica

**jono** · 07-06-2021, 02:30 PM

#40 has been on the PNW circuit for a while, I think. I'm curious if I'd find glimpses on prints if I dug out the pics I took at Spokane Raceway Park in about 1995.

Sweet set all around.

**Bobby Stainless** · 07-07-2021, 05:16 AM

Lotus Emira. AMG power. Manual, Auto or DCT. Who needs one?

**Timberridge** · 07-07-2021, 07:42 AM

The Volvo/Aston dealer near me just opened up a new showroom for Lotus. Looks like they have a demo there. I may have to stop by and pretend I'm interested.

**bagtagley** · 07-07-2021, 07:51 AM

Smoked like a Frenchman, didn’t run well, and the driver was a douche, or so my wife tells me. I was too busy imagining myself cruising along the Mediterranean coast.

They are supposed to top out at 100k. Start in the high 70s. Not too bad really.

Is it still a Toyota engine?
