That's cool. I happened to see another clip that appears to be from the same day?

Those people on the street were really getting excited about the '64 Chevy with the hydraulics...lol

Hi Greg. Actually that was 2 years earlier. We have a show every year and often do a cruise as well. That was a great day, I remember, sun shone and great fun was had. The 64 Impala is a lovely car, but he is always breaking bits because of all the bouncing!
Hugh.

I've always liked that generation of Olds A-bodies.

That generation of A-bodies have always been funny to me. The sketches I've seen are far more sporty looking than what actually came out. I think a lot of the blame goes to the big honkin' bumpers they had to put on the cars.

Cool...I pass our local Ferrari dealer 2 to 4 times each weekday on my commute.

The other day was on a "honey do" trip driving street behind the dealership and was in a hurry. At the 4-way stop whatta I see but one of the recent crashed Risi Racers stripped shell sitting there. Was evidence of being hit or crashed from behind...as most of the most rearward structure had been cut away. Was too busy to take pix...

If interested here's their website http://www.risicompetizione.net/ and FB https://www.facebook.com/RisiCompetizione

Mrs & I met the crew stocking up with food (wearing their Risi Ferrari Black Team Jumpsuits) @ Big Box couple of seasons ago. Pretty nice guys to talk to.

No cut intended. Just obscure funny is all. When you drive a big car you gotta have a sense of humor.

I bet my Firebird would be very happy having its own garage and private driveway, haha

I wonder if something like this exists for Pontiacs or Classic cars in general

Why sir. I do believe you would be the best one to start one! You'd get my vote.

While viewing the link wondering if those google images have location data attached to images? That'd be a big negative IMO, due to potential theft, etc.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
