Another classic collection for Lime Rock Park's Historic Festival 29
Lime Rock Park's vintage celebration occurs every year over the Labor Day weekend (Sept. 2-5) and is widely considered the East Coast's premier combination of historic auto racing and concours. This year is the 29th edition of Lime Rock's vintage weekend and is called Historic Festival 29 Presented by Jaguar. The weekend's concomitant concours is dubbed “Sunday in the Park,” a subtle acknowledgement of there being no racing on Sunday at Lime Rock Park.
Aside from the large entry count for the Saturday and Monday racing part of the weekend – 12 race groups crafted from 318 cars, ranging from pre-war to the 1970s – each year Festival Chairman Murray Smith invites one well-known, highly respected collector to grace the grounds with a selection of superlative, significant cars. This year the "honored collector" is Dr. Fred Simeone, a neurosurgeon from Philadelphia. His collection of sports racing cars that spans the history of the automobile from the early 1900s to 1975 are, as Sam Smith of the Vintage Racers Group says, “staggeringly significant. In terms of racing accomplishments, design and engineering, these cars are the best of the best.”
“Dr. Fred” is bringing four stellar examples from his Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum to Historic Festival 29: the 1956 D-Type Jaguar, the prototype of what would become the iconic E-Type (“XKE”) and which finished third at Sebring driven by Bob Sweikert and Jack Ensley; a K3 MG, the best-placed of all MGs at Le Mans (1934, class winner and ninth overall); the 1958 DBR1 Aston Martin World Champion Sports Racer, one of the best looking racing cars ever built; and a 1934 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 with a fabulous body by the house of Castagna, absolutely unrestored (like the K3), and also like the MG, in a true state of grace.
In 2009, Smith created a stir when he convinced The Collier Collection, after many months of painstaking restoration, to debut its stunning 1939 Mercedes-Benz W 154 Silver Arrow Grand Prix car, and Murray then drove it on the track – the first time the car had been on a race circuit since finishing second in the 1939 Belgrade GP. Last year, Boston's Joe Freeman showed and drove his old Indy cars while his Mercer – from the dawn of motoring – wandered around the paddock all weekend, almost on its own...

No I haven't forgotten the second O. I think that we have moved beyond the idea that greed is good to the belief that only those who are employed in the services sector, own houses, cars and generate (not earn) six-figure incomes are worthy and
I can't help admiring John Woodhouse's 1958 half-timbered Armstrong Siddeley shooting brake, because it is almost identical to my late grandfather's car. But when Fred Hughes pops into the office, I always look twice when I see him parking his moped
The paper said Atkinson, who drove a 1939 BMW 328 in this year's Mille Miglia, also races cars from his collection, which includes a 1964 Ford Falcon (that UK Falcon is the nostalgic equivalent there of a 1960s GTO in the US), a 1980s Aston Martin V8
From the clip below at Saturday's show, it's apparent that Brown is on his mark, not only with Obama's cadence, but material as well -- a pure rival to Fred Armisen's Saturday Night Live schtick. Nothing is funnier than having a run-in with "The Man.
Toyota of Hackensack now accepting deposits for the ... - Only Cars
We’ll offer our customers the Prius PHV before anyone else.
Hackensack, NJ (PRWEB) August 17, 2011
Toyota of Hackensack announced on Monday that they are currently accepting deposits for the 2012 Prius plug-in hybrid vehicle. Customers who sign up and leave a $100 deposit will be among the very first in the nation to drive a Prius plug-in.
The 2012 Toyota Prius PHV will only be offered in fifteen U.S. states. The rest of the country won’t have a chance to buy the new model until 2013.
New Jersey made Toyota’s cut, though few dealerships in the tri-state area will receive the initial inventory. None are offering priority registration yet, except for Bergen county dealer Toyota of Hackensack.
“We’ve been working with Toyota USA in order to offer our customers the Prius PHV before anyone else,” says Toyota of Hackensack General Manager Fred Radulic. “Providing our customers with exclusive opportunities and making it as easy by just going online is important to us.”
Radulic says that customers can now log onto the Toyota of Hackensack website, put down their deposit, and be some of the only drivers in the country with a new Prius PHV in just a few short months.
The Prius PHV (which stands for plug-in hybrid vehicle) has been in development for almost five years and just completed an extremely successful test release in the United States. It is the first plug-in Prius in history.
Already generating buzz and garnering glowing reviews, the PHV takes a more practical approach to plug-in electric vehicles. It requires no special charging station – drivers can plug it right into a standard 120 V outlet.
Once the charge runs out, the trusted Prius full-hybrid engine kicks in to provide extra power and fuel range. Even out of electric mode the 2012 Prius PHV still gets an astounding EPA estimated 51 city/48 highway MPG.
“The Prius handily outscores the Volt,” says CNN Money.
Car and Driver writes, “[The Prius PHV] goes much farther and faster on electricity alone.”
