    Dana Point Concours, Jun 2011

    Haven't been to the Dana Point Concours ever, so . . . .

    Golf course venue surrounded by sorta-ocean-view sub-divisions. Parking on the surrounding city streets, free shuttles. Got there kinda late so . . . got my exercise. Beautiful perfect gorgeous weather.

    1) and 2) Renault Alpine A110, rear-engined, fiberglass, 140 HP, 1200 lb, rally-terror. A great reason to not take your 911 off the tarmac, after '71.

    3) and 4) Siata 300 BC? . . . one good-looking pedal car.

    2) thru 4) Lambo LM002. 5900 lbs, 450 hp 5.2l V12. 7.8 MPG, hence fuel capacity = 76 gal. Oil capacity = 18.5 qt. 301 built. Now I know where these all went!

    I actually like Bugattis --- ever since I heard one fire-up for the Judges at Pebble, few years back. (Sounded like a GP motorcycle --- swear.) Wanted to like this one. Looks like a '30s take on the Batmobile, but didn't sound as potent as some . . . kinda farty --- and I'm sure the reedy little lute-pipes didn't help. Smoked, too.

    But still striking to look at, really small car.

    Pretty frustrated, here. Guy Behind the Wheel could not get the thing moving for trying --- hung around for so long, trying to get a picture --- ready to pull The Guy out and drive the damn thing myself . . .
