This week Alex is joined by Randy and the elusive, bi-coastal Howard to talk about exciting times for Central California Porschephiles, whether stock colors are now more interesting than PTS, and Enzo vs. 288 GTO. They relive the recent Cold Start event in San Francisco before settling into a detailed breakdown of our recent experience at the Bicester Scramble in the UK, including the joys of the British event car park and the incredible Bicester Motion facility, a historic RAF base that was restored as a collection of automotive-themed businesses. They pause to give respect to the folks pedaling vintage Jags at the Goodwood Members' Meeting, then Howard describes driving the family's Zagato-bodied Alfa as one of the long list of impressive entries in the four-day, thousand-mile Cal Mille.
Finally, they talk about the need for "difficult" marque experts on BaT and move on to their favorite recent listings on the site, a suddenly topless Lamborghini, a tempting call to co-drive at the NORRA, appreciation for the resuscitated Mint 400, burly first-gen T-birds, and a pressing mystery surrounding a missing wheel lock key.
