NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I'll have one in about a month, but @Shadowhunter might have one pretty soon

 

@buckmaster243 has dibs on it….. but he would be kicking a bumper loose….

 

pussy

 

I guess….lol

 

I'll just leave these right here......

 

I wonder at what point you have to trim the back of the headlights.

 

Anyone know a place other than mule in Seattle that could do an ecgs bushing on my taco?

 

Saw this rad GT40 replica in Monroe

 

I have always loved those centerlock wheels. Just whack it with a hammer to loosen and tighten them

 

Our company owner has one curious if that's his

 

Panel says "D.T. Umino / P. Umino". Either of those guys your boss?

Regardless, here is build thread for this car after searching for a min (posted by Peter Umino) for those also interested. So cool.

That's what I found too. I'd actually rather see a good replica than the real deal, cause you ain't gonna see the real deal except at a car show maaaaybe once

I highly recommend @icelandcarculture on Instagram

 

I have seen one in a showroom at Symbolic Motors in La Jolla Ca. (now Symbolic International)
Location went under/renamed... something about feds and fraud/scandal - Google search, its a great read - here's one
It was in the mid 1990's and this GT40 was white, 427 side oiler, full race stickers and number plate and considered "unstreetable as it idled at 2500 rpm" for the handsome price of $225k.

Mind you, this location in La Jolla is where the uber rich lived and would occasionally drive one of these cars.
These are the cars you read about in fancy coffee table books.
I remember seeing a used Ferrari V-12 engine behind plexiglas.
Asking what car that engine was for: 1963 Ferrari GTO
They were asking $3M for it.

 

Surgeon at my buddies old work, showed up a couple days a month, drove a black 1961 Ferrari GT 250 California, the Ferris Bueller car. I had to go look at it once. Dude was super cool, drove it every day it didn't rain. I've seen a real GT40 on the street, Magnolia has a few hidden collections and a race shop, sometimes they just don't give a fuck and go rip em around

 

I hear ya.

Its super strange: you drive north from Pacific Beach in San Diego as it a bunch of hippies and college kids that don't give 2 F's about their vehicles; then a mile or so north around Birdrock, pride in ownership changes; then on Pearl street - its almost like every other car is a Ferrari or RR or Maybach.

 

I think a lot of it is, the super rich up here are from tech and have real money and don't need to show off and pretend they have more. Also their hobbies are much bigger. Sure they drive a 2018 Jeep Wrangler...to their 70' yacht in Kirkland (one of my customers). Showing off a supercar is not even on their radar. I've noticed since moving to "the burbs" that I see a lot more showing off. I did a job in Kenmore area a few years ago, dude had a whole garage full of the newest and coolest Ferrari's, but he never goes to the exotics shows cause he keeps it low key.

 

Yep, why "advertise" if you don't want the rats to come to the cheese.

 

Anybody have any experience or know any good shops around here to rebuild some fox 2.0 shocks?
