A couple of weeks ago went to Hansen Dam for the annual Norton bike show. Here's a picture of my son and me in front of my bike. There were lots of Brit and other bikes, Vincents, Velos, and even a turbo CB750 done up very chrome-like.
Then I went to nearby Van Nuys for the Best of France and Italy on a windy day. All the cars were covered in dust. I got to see some great old cars. I tend to focus on Lancia, Fiat (nice maroon Dino Coupe there, a little known and relatively affordable classic ..drool), and Alfa. The show used to be 'under 3 liters' but has changed to include the big bucks stuff. Many cool French cars too. Saw a Maserati Ghibli and 2 Lamborghini Espadas (in pic behind Jay) —just amazing. Here are a couple of pics. Leno fell down a hill and bashed his face a week or so after this show. He's gotta be more careful. Falling down is not good when in your 70s.
Leno's 1915 Hispano Suiza started up with a bang and a puff. Amazing. 18L Hispano Suiza aircraft V8 (read up on it here Wikipedia for some cool engineering history) was a sight to see and hear.
Jay being Jay.

The Fiat Dino - one of 3 models Ferrari/Fiat made with the 2.0 then 2.4 liter DOHC V6.
One of the most beautiful cars ever IMO
