Charger Steve's Wild Rides first car show in Pacific Beach was a huge success! The west end of Garnet was packed

This is the most awesome... check out the video of it rumbling after this link: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/04/my-favorite-metro.html

Looks almost real, but it isn't. Great mock up though, I believe this has a VW bug engine in the back, becuase the shifter is an EMPI

The blue thing on the hood? It's a very early type of bug deflector that works by pushing the wind and bugs to the sides of the car.

Tail hopping 1986 Ferrari 308GTB of Tony Worswick./ Usually rallied in Europe on Tarmac events, it was well suited to the Race Retro stage. The unusual part was that as it took the ‘yump’ every time, the rear of the car would catapult high in to the air, leaving the car in a nose down position. Not unusual if the engine were in the front, but the Ferrari is a mid-engine configuration! via: http://www.sportscardigest.com/rally-stage-2010-race-retro-report-photo-gallery/
