Back Home from London...Ohio

Cars Arrive back Home in Wareham from London C-Car Show

Every time I forget what a cool job I have, I walk around the building and take some pictures with my cell phone camera. I swear more things happen on a daily basis here. This morning, the truck arrived from the Ohio LCS show, we unloaded it, and were back to normal business by 9:30 in the morning. That's quite an operation. Here are some photos:

It's a shame to put the Coupe back in the showroom. After the London C-car show, I want to point it towards California.

For those of you who remember the Cold War, imagine this Factory Five Mk4 is going to cruising the mean streets of the Czech Republic. How cool is that?

That's just too easy... :D

Joe, I believe that's a MKIII hood with GTM MKII hood vents.

Dave, can you confirm? Also, is that a red-gelcoat MKIII body?

Paging Dave Smith...

Also, what's the deal with those tail lights? Are those prototypes?
