I have seen the cars running out at the airport all day on Thursday. Very exciting to see and hear vintage race cars from my day. I saw Cobras, and Mustangs, and Corvettes, Porsche’s and Alpha Romeo’s… and Group-on has some tickets at half price. The Vintage Gran Prix and The Concours gives me two weeks of non-stop car excitment. Should hold me for a couple of months.
