    I'm heading over there tomorrow with my kids-would love to drive the GT4 over but sounds like there may be rain. Don't want to have rust anxiety while we are there!!!

    Well, the weather is a dice roll but I'm heading over there with my kids now. It's either that or fix the fence. Looks like the cars won-they always do.

    Interesting. When BMW introduced the Z8 they showed it with the 507 at the (much missed) Castle Hill concours. Looks like they did the same for the i8.

    Was BMW Peabody involved? One of the partners there had quite the collection of great cars.

    The sad part about the location is that the college took down all the elegant, tall trees that shaded the property to make it maintenance simple. The landscape was originally done by the famous Frederick Law Olmsted. I attended the show in 2010 and 2011 and it was fun but constrined by the size and shape of the property. If they want it to be larger they will have to find a new location.....or maybe smallness is the idea.

    Great event but we got there at the wrong time...about 5 mins before it started pouring! All good though, my kids saw all the cars. I told them to try and find the horses on the GT40 underneath the plastic wrap...then I explained it was from that other Fcar company. Real nice 275 also-

    The Crane Estate was a fantastic venue but the size of the crowds scared the Trustees of Reservations and they withdrew the site. Misslewood is a charming and intimate setting.

    I also heard that the Trustees were upset by the depressions left in wet lawns by the cars. But you are right, it was a beautiful spot for a car show.

    I think that the divots were a smaller concern than the huge crowds.
