European Auto Garage, a recently established race/performance shop in Knoxville hosted a "Cars & Coffee" gathering last Saturday.
It was basically an excuse to park a bunch of hot cars around and shoot the bull with fellow enthusiasts as well as get a
look at EAG's facility. I dropped by for a couple of hours and caught up with a few local folks who I don't
really get to talk to enough.
The turn out was large enough to be entertaining. There were
several things there that you really don't see that often. I took a few pictures, which can be seen HERE
Apparently, EAG would like to make this type of thing a regular occurence, so check back. I will post dates
& times when I know them. It would be worth a look if you are in the area.
I know where it is, I just dont' know what it is. I went ahead and replaced the spool valve gaskets, and
the oil pan gasket. These steps lessened the problem, but I haven't eliminated it yet. Oh well, one thing
at a time.
Crap, I've done it
again! A hopelessly ambitious title up to which the short paragraph to follow has no chance of living. Oh well.
Pocono this year entertained for a number of reasons not least of which were the cars present. My shutter snapped
at some of the rarest Ferraris in existance, some of the fastest Alfa Romeos in the world, the newest offerings
from Lamborghini and Aston Martin, not to meantion the dearth of slightly less rarified, but no less arresting rolling
sculptures. I operated a bit of a ramshackle blog (click here), in between showfield and track days over the weekend. Honestly, half the fun of attenting such events come from sharing
the experience.

Now, for those of you who have wondered what an FXX sounds like at full song, and not in a video game:
CMP, slightly warmer:
Much to my relief, I
arrived on friday to something other than a blizzard this time. A semi-frustrating, but over-all fun weekend ensued.
Road Atlanta: Round 2
As some of you may recall,
I have previously visited the hallowed Road of Atlanta and was thusly smitten by its grandeur. I made a second
pilgrimage over the past weekend, only this time I was not flying solo. That's right, after much ado (including,
but not limited to: a 3-year car build, moving between cities, and a thrice delayed and then cancelled track day) TJ finally
made it to an event. MORE HERE!
The
history lesson continues. I probably shouldn't have said that because it sounds educational, causing many of you
to lose interest immediately. Seriously, watch them, it'll be good for you.
