Yes, I know it's "Father's Day", but what could be better for a family of "Car Guys" than to go to German Car Day in one of the prettiest parks in the Boston area?
This year, both the Air and Water cooled divisions of Five Cent Racing were in attendance, and three generations, to boot! And while I had intended to take Pearl - I even (GASP!) gave her a bath and semi-detailed her (didn't want to over do things), my plans were stymied by really rainy weather that moved in mid-morning and I would have ridden home in a downpour, so we all piled into the Water Cooled Division's 996 and headed to Boston.
Not a lot of photos, but some cute ones of Joshua and his brother, Lucas, in a Messerschmitt micro-car (it IS German, after all) and a shot of Chris' 996 with its' "Lightning McQueen" eyes in place, thanks to the boys. Pearl has a set, too.....For the next New England event.
I was quite frankly shocked at the number of car owners who asked the boys (who have been well trained not to touch any of the cars as they are looking) if they wanted to sit in the cars. I was also shocked that, as we were leaving and out on the street, we saw a very new McLaren parked on the side of the road, snuggled in between a couple of BMWs (well, after all......It's simply not German, right?). People must be more trusting over there in Brookline than I am out here in Grafton on the Frontier.
