    I thought I'd share this with you guys. I drive through Coldwater Cyn. here in L.A. fairly often and over the years have seen many vintage and new prototype cars going through there including Jay Leno several times exercising his cars. Today I saw a silver/grey 250 SWB driving the other way. It had blue #14 in a white circle on the door and I'm fairly certain I saw a roll cage. It sounded great but it was gone too fast. I don't think I've ever seen a SWB on the road, no less a competition one. Does anyone know this car?

    Well... Sorta... We hung out for like, 60 seconds... He took my picture and we had our picture taken together... Beautiful car; i was really impressed that he wasn't as condescending as a few other people i met that weekend... Really nice guy...

    I guess I was wrong about the roll cage. Does the owner usually drive it on the street? I was pretty shocked to see it. Made my day!

    Nope, it is there, vintage requires them mostly(see pic). Bruce is very erudite, nice guy. Nice cars, drives them.

    Cute. I can even understand what she is saying, "It's all MINE, MINE, MINE."

    Congratulations, sons are great, but daughters steal your heart.
