lol, yah they parked the new Learjet on Rodeo (Jet Age was this year's theme for the show).... costs 18 million dollars i believe

Jay Leno was at the show, I heard him and Bruce Meyer talking on the PA system but I didn't see him cause the stage was at the opposite end of where I was at the time.

It was a 1924 that was rebodied in 1934 by a custom coach builder. It belongs to the Peterson Auto Museum.

You mean this one right?

Yes it's a real RR, but fully custom from the 1930's! It was jaw dropping

And to think Boris Becker had one(959) for his very first car(!) when he was only 17 years old! He said in one interview he had it up to 300 kph on the Italian Autostrada back in those days. 17!!! lol
