The C&C in Westlake Village CA attracted a few big dollar cars this month.

I lost track of what photos I took, sadly this is the only shot I have of the LaFerrari that was there (owner says it’s kind of a pain to drive - poor visibility).

And I seemed to have parked in the wrong spot.  My car got swallowed up.

Al - my post was from a C&C held this morning.  Instead of starting a new thread I was lazy and just added to Jim’s thread.  Same location, different month.

My first pic above is the only photo I took of the LaFerrari.   I don’t know my supercars and didn’t know what I was looking at until later when someone told me what it was.  Big bucks.

This C&C is fun because it attracts a wide variety of cars.  Austin Mini with a Honda VTec engine stuffed in front?  Yep.  Low rider hopping around upon entry?  Yep (pic below of his ‘trunk’).  Gassers, American muscle, Porsches, rat rods, you name it.  Three speedster replicas counting mine.  

If I was an actual car guy I’d have more photos to share, possibly with some halfway interesting commentary, but I’m not.  Here are a few more poorly composed photos from today.

All gorgeous cars, guys!  @Jon T- next time take a couple more pics of your Speedster- maybe a side or 3/4 view, an engine shot, and ???  Come on, you have a totally cool car!

@jncspyder (sorry, I've forgotten your first name AGAIN!!!!)- So Matt Damon's 356A Speedster is real- very cool!  Love the Rudge wheels.  Year?  Regular pushrod or 4 cam engine- I ask because of the lack of bumper and side/rocker trim suggests Carrera...

If it is a Carrera it would be nice to see pics of the engine, brake drums (should have the 60 mm wide shoes on the front I think, someone please correct me if I'm wrong, and it would be nice to see what the scoop looks like on the back side of the backing plates) and (if it has 1) oil cooler in the right front fender (iIrc it should have it with steel lines).  I know I'm not asking much...

I'll say thanks for putting up with me in advance!  Al
