Attended the Chattanooga Motor Car Festival today to visit with friends and get to see this exact car in person. I went to go through the gate and they said I had to leave my camera in the car because I didn’t have a media pass. It just so happened that on the way back to the car, guess what was getting unloaded? I think I was the only one to capture the only time this car will be unloaded this weekend. A very special moment for me, please enjoy!

1962 Porsche 356 B 2000 GS Carrera Coupe.

The Porsche 356 is a sports car that was first produced by Austrian company Porsche Konstruktionen GesmbH (1948–1949), and then by German company Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche GmbH (1950–1965). It was Porsche's first production automobile. Earlier cars designed by the Austrian company include Cisitalia Grand Prix race car, the Volkswagen Beetle, and Auto Union Grand Prix cars.

The 356 is a lightweight and nimble-handling, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive, two-door available both in hardtop coupé and open configurations. Engineering innovations continued during the years of manufacture, contributing to its motorsports success and popularity. Production started in 1948 at Gmünd, Austria, where Porsche built approximately 50 cars. In 1950 the factory relocated to Zuffenhausen, Germany, and general production of the 356 continued until April 1965, well after the replacement model 911 made its September 1964 debut. Of the 76,000 originally produced, approximately half survive.

The original price in 1948 for the 356 coupe was US$3,750 (equivalent to $42,300 in 2021). The 356 cabriolet cost US$4,250 (equivalent to $47,900 in 2021).

BMW 600 Spiaggia, 1958, by Moretti. A beach car based on the rear-engine 600 which was itself a development from the Iso Isetta 3-wheeler that BMW had licensed from the Italians. It's unclear how many 600 Spiaggias Moretti converted, it may just be this one

21st century Merlin is an absolutely horrific driver. The worst.

"So then I told her- and this is verbatim, you can ask Moreau- I told her right there, I'm not playing babysitter to some little brat. I'm an engineer for fuck's sake."

"I see. And how's this act of boldness faired for you so far, dear boy?"

"...hey, this was voluntary. She likes me the best, alright? And who can blame her, kid has great taste."

just notice I have half of my list of downloaded fanfics with their own covers now, I think I was a little too happy to finally know what fic I have in from of me. More Amazing that I made it somehow only with a free image editor of google because I suck at photoshop … honesty I like how pretty look all of them now.
