Lads --
For some odd reason, perhaps so the swells in the Italian, German, and British exotics could see what the common folk drove, I was invited to show the Big-Tailed Beast at the 40th Colorado Concours d'Elegance in Denver (actually Littleton) last Sunday (09-10-2023). It was great fun as that ram-inducted engine just drew spectators like flies to honey. Invariably, people would stroll by, hardly giving it a glance, then do a double take that stopped them dead in their tracks! After that they climbed all over the car, from fore to aft, checking out fins, "square" steering wheel, "flight deck instrument panel", swivel seats, etc. There was no way it could compete with the Lambos and the Ferraris, but it still got a red ribbon as an honorable mention. It was great fun and we were constantly engaged in conversations about the car, even with Cobra and Audi t-shirt dudes.
