I don't know how historic the Davy Crockett State Park is, but I had to take a picture of my roadster there last Fall.
The picture in front of "Wendover Will" was taken during Speed Week in 2006. Later that day, after a few adult beverages, I was convinced my roadster needed to have a number painted on the door. But that's another story.......best left untold.

This is outside Umberslade Hall. It's a 17th century mansion near where I live.

Gavin,
Is this the Umberslade Hall where Triumph and BSA had a "think tank" in the '60's & "70"s?

Hey Joe
Thank you so much, just spent some time doing some research and it turns out that it was indeed used as a R+D facility by Triumph and BSA! I had no idea!
What a cool piece of history.

This is my 1935 Cabriolet at the Drive In Church lot in Daytona Beach, Florida. It was formely a Drive In Theater, until the church bought it. The Drive In Church has been on the national news, several times.
The cabriolet is dressed as the winner of the 1936 Beach Race.

Asked a friend to snap a pic of the Grey Coupe next to this well-patina'd southwestern style service station that we spotted on the way to the Western meet in St. George, Utah last October.

The stock '36 ran like a champ over 1600 miles and three 10,000' mountain passes, through rain, sleet and snow. Hell of a fun trip!
