Went to Yankeeland the week before last.

Stayed in New York;



Saw a Tesla driving down the street;



While I was there I tried to explain to Einstein that Paul's 3.6-Litre Boxster bloody well is capable of light speed (he kept mumbling something about C not equaling Carrera and it had a mass greater than zero... I gave up...);



Went to Road America and saw some cool cars, like this 599 convertible;



And another Tesla;



And these De Tomaso Panteras;





A couple of nice Porsches about;



At the track there was a few fake GT40's, like this one;



But there was also a couple of real GT40's, like this one;



Someone brought some F1 cars, was neat to watch 'em run;





And there were a few older F1 cars, including Mansell's;



...and AJ's;



Pretty cool little 908, too;



And this little 914/6 (look familiar, Rasta?) absolutely destroyed everything in its class;




All in all, a pretty fun trip (and don't worry Paul, there's a bottle of Bundy in the post to replace the one we drank )

Very cool cars, except the Tesla of course, what a way to ruin an Elise.

So Khal, when are you buying a Pantera?
