Default Pics of some old cars during the Dragon Run this weekend!

Just thought I'd share some of these. . .we had such a great time running the Dragin this past weekend!

Triumph. . .


Lancia. . .



Not really sure, but I think it was two AlfaRomeo's. . .


Another AlfaRomeo and a yellow Maserati in the background. . .


Not sure what make this is. . .


Porsche Spyder. . .


But the attention grabber is still the S2000. . .slightly modified!

That looks like a Triumph TR-7 to me! Always liked those cars, though a friend of mine just told me that he almost died in one when it spun out of control.

Actually, that looks like a Fiat X/19, not a TR7.

Bueller?

Yeah! That's a X/19! Probably John's car (president of the fiat club) I used have a Fiat 850 spyder! (notice 850?)

X/19 is a great autocrss car!

And the silver convertible (with two large fog lights) above that photo is the Fiat 124 spyder! And the picture above that 124 is another X/19, then the one above is the (Muddy colored?) Lancia.

Here is my Fiat 850 spyder

Correctomundo.

Fun little cars that were built like ca ca unfortunately.

The Lancias are cool. I don't see those running around very much anymore.

One question. Was the Porsche 550 Spyder real or a Becker replica? Amazing if someone took a real one on the road because I think they're pretty damned valuable these days. Even if it's a Becker, that's still pretty cool. I'd love to have one.

Hey! It's Italian cars! They look great, but HIGH Maintenance!

But they are fun to drive! I used to rev my 850 up to 8,000 rpm! I could have blown that 903 cc motor! They were only 40 Hp! But once I get it up to 95 MPH, it's great fun! (I just hated when people cut in front of me while I drive my 850. Once I slow down, It will take me forever to get it up to speed again! That was a torqueless car! But still fun to drive!

Lancia Stratos were great Rally cars in the 70's. I know there are two original Stratos here in Atlanta owned by one man. They are so hard to find and very expensive!The original ones had V6 Dino Ferrari motor mounted behind the driver.
