Yes, I can see your point.

Thanks for your thoughts on that, though I still disagree that black people (wherever they are from) shun Concours because they don’t want to “get nostalgic for a time when they were second-class citizens”....I think you are off the mark on that. Are your “black friends” petrol-heads? And even so, there are different

I’ve always felt slightly confused at the behavior at these elite car events. I feel like I’m the only one there who is giddy with excitement, while everyone else seems calm and collected. I had to learn to look like I’m playing it cool....but I still don’t see how people are so blasé about it all. Must be something

That’s a generalization. I’m sure we are able to distinguish and admire cars and not see everything through that lens...I have bought classic cars from black people, and I’m black myself. At no point do I think, “Gosh, if I owned this in period I’d be so pwned by Jim Crow...”

We are there. It’s mainly because we are a minority so the representation is proportionally smaller. There are some key people of colour in the classic car world but they obviously do not have the same level of visibility. I also think we as black people are able and have the capacity to separate the negative events

The 6.3 introduced the twin halogen "stacked" headlights in 1968 and they then became standard in 1969 in all the W109 (300 series) cars in all markets. If you see a 6.3 with the older covered headlights then that means it was converted (incorrectly) by someone.

Those stacked headlights were standard on the 6.3.

Until you show up in a 16-cylinder, mid-engined supercar named after a pioneering Italian music producer, you're only hot shit in your own mind. Obscure supercars are where it's really at.

I do that from time to time. Very anti-social, and I absolutely love it.

I feel really bad for her, but there's something wrong with the tone of this....I'll have a think then come back....

Not even Prince Albert's baby mama? Or Prince Albert's son? Not even Moko? Perhaps not while you were there....

Torch, speaking as a boy that awaited with bated breath, the launch of the Nyayo Pioneer, craptastic though it might have been had a greater purpose that we might take for granted today. The whole concept and idea of "we too can do it".....aka "Yes we can"...

I have asked myself this exact question before.

Jason, your warped logic matches my warped logic and as such, I judge that you are right.

I like to think of myself as the head of the Texas branch of Asphalt Heritage....

If you have to ask....

Why did it have to end?

The longer this show runs, the more I realize that Seinfeld is in a sense showing his guests how to have fun....most seem to be stressed/busy or caught up in their lives, and they all approach the cars like they are some sort of jack-in-the-box that might spring up and scare the crap out of them...most of the time

Pretty sure that was an XK FHC

This is the matching I wanted, and it did not disappoint.
