    This olelongrooffan likes me some BMWs. As I mentioned recently I have owned 4 E30s over the years. There are two BMWs that I really love and the M1 is one of them. I had never previously seen one and a week ago I saw a whole slew of them. It was an experience that…

    Last weekend after spotting that new C7 Corvette and a couple older race cars (and totally missing the BMW Art Car), this olelongrooffan wandered down the 18th fairway of the Amelia Island Ritz Carlton’s golf course in search of some other cool ass stuff to see and share with my fellow Hoons. And I found…

    At Amelia Island this year, this olelongrooffan got one of the perks normally reserved for the Hooniverse Overlords. I was able to spot the new C7 Corvette there on one of the alternate greens on the 18th fairway. Apparently the styling on this one is raising a few eyebrows around these here webs. As this…

  • Amelia Island Weekend Edition: Some Of TheGentlemanFarmer's Favorite Body Style

    My dad, TheGentlemanFarmer, was born in 1924 and loved open fender body style automobiles. I think this is because when he was a kid, that was the body design of the time. When this olelongrooffan was just a kid, he, thejeepjunkie and I cosmetically restored a, I think, 1929 Model A for which TheGentlemanFarmer eventually…

    So, as this olelongrooffan has mentioned on a couple occasions this past week, The Mad_Hungarian and I attended the Amelia Island Concours D’Elegance last weekend. As UDMan, while recovering quite nicely, and as Hooniverse Weekend Edition isn’t quite yet his Cup of Tea, this olelongrooffan thought I might pop in with a Weekend Edition of…

    As this olelongrooffan mentioned in $kaycog’s post on Friday, I parked up the road from the toney Ritz Carlton hotel there on Amelia Island and hoofed on in to score me an elcheapo admission ticket to get into the Concours D’Elegance and hook up with The Mad_Hungarian. This olelongrooffan, instead of doing a separate post…

    So as this olelongrooffan related in an earlier post, The Mad Hungarian and I attended the Amelia Island Concours D’Elegance on the first Sunday of BikeWeek. It was just freaking awesome. It seems to get better and better with each succeeding year. As we were walking down the 18th fairway of that beautiful golf course,…

    So my fellow Hoons, this is once again another rather long and rambling post about some of the things going on in this olelongrooffan’s life at this point. If you don’t really care for my ramblings, please move along. I won’t be offended. However if my fellow Hoons have a bit of time to waste…

    So it has previously been mentioned The Mad Hungarian and this olelongrooffan hooked up at the Amelia Island Concours this past weekend. After I crashed the gates on the way in (see upcoming Fastback Friday’s post for details on that), I stopped over to check out the new Corvette C7 on the 18th green of…
