That translates to Racing Team Bunker (garage?). Odd that a German team or transporter would have a US sponsor. That's a 550 Spyder on there, and they only made 90 of those, so it's not a low-budget thing, with a custom transporter. Did the team come to an event in Canada including their transporter?

I picked my wife up at the aerodrome and this was parked outside. Covered in patina of course, but very straight. I looked it over and mechanically it looks all new, down to the headlights.

It's FRIDAY!


We can dream!

Less talking, more noise.


More noise, no talking...



Street version of the same car...

Three out of four wheels finally ready to prime and paint. Man that’s a lot of work. I have no fingerprint and can’t wake up my phone.
