Car Rodeo on Rodeo Drive, a Real Round Up!

Article by Larry FitzGibbon 

Rodeo Drive is a wonderful street in Lakewood Ranch. It is lined with wonderful boutiques, shops, coffee depots and restaurants. Wednesday night the gorgeous streets were lined with some beautiful Classic Cars and the weather could not have been better. 

" Lance's Cruizin to The Hop" had, as usual,  organized a nice car get together. The music-oldies, were playing. The lawn chairs were filled with car owners hanging out with friends near their beautiful cars. All of the restaurants were busy as were the shops and the streets were filled and had a nice buzz of people having a good time. 

My wife and I ate at Ed's Tavern. The food and service was great and it was filled with car enthusiasts. 

All and all it was a great way to spend the evening. I want to share some of the cars.

Steady Special ~ A Love Story

What is new from the other side of the Pond? My good friend submitted this Love Story

FAMOUS FORMER OWNER AND A VERY ‘SPECIAL’ LANCIA REUNITED AT AUTOSPORT INTERNATIONAL 2014 AFTER ALMOST SIXTY YEARS

The ex-Ronald ‘Steady’ Barker 1934 Lancia Astura makes its UK public début at Autosport International as the ‘Steady Special’, the car its owner redesigned almost 60 years ago

Currently undergoing complete restoration in Thornley Kelham’s workshops and, in the best coachbuilding tradition, soon to sport a bespoke body, the 1934 Lancia Astura ‘Steady Special’, once belonging to Autocar road tester and star columnist ‘Steady’ Barker, is unveiled at Autosport International 2014.

The Steady Special is no ordinary classic car: it is a piece of British as well as Italian automotive history. Steady Barker purchased it as a mammoth six-seat limousine and chopped almost four feet out of the chassis, replacing the limo body with a lighter, enclosed sports racer shell, fronted by a modified DB2 bonnet. This is the very car he drove to an interview for the position as Autocar's road tester in 1955, later securing the job as road test editor; he also raced it in the early Fifties.

Having lived a romantic life of varied fortunes, much like Steady himself, the car was delivered to specialist restorer Thornley Kelham’s premises in Gloucestershire in 2012. They were chosen by the Lancia’s current owner, classic car enthusiast and Guild of International Engineering Specialists founder Michael Scott.

“Our brief was to return the car to its original splendour, as well as turn Steady’s original design sketches of some sixty years ago into reality,” says Wayne Kelham, one of Thornley Kelham’s directors. “This has required a full restoration, including engine, suspension, gearbox and brakes. We are bringing the car back to life, including the fabrication of an all-aluminium body based on Steady’s sketches, turned into reality with the help of the latest technology, using the expertise of Stuart Brown of 3D Engineering.”

The car, fittingly unveiled at Autosport International (which, like Autocar, is part of the Haymarket publishing titles) will soon be ready to be driven again by Steady Barker, almost sixty years later. “I test drove the driving chassis in November, and was happy with the way the car responded; I cannot wait to see it, completed in all but details, at Autosport,” said Steady Barker. Big celebrations are planned for Steady’s 94th birthday in April, when the finished Steady Special will be a suitable carriage for the occasion.

Yum Yum Again

Coffee, Donuts, Cars ~ Yum Yum!

What did you do this Wednesday morning? Did it have to do with cars?

A week had gone by and it was time for another trip to the bakery. So I forced myself to go get a great cup of coffee and doughnut. While I was there I meet some really great car enthusiast, handed out a few business cards, and of course took some photos of great cars. ( see all the photos )

What I like best about this setting is the relaxed atmosphere. No trophies here just coffee, doughnuts, cars and great car stories. It doesn't get better than that.

Would you like to be able to Fold Up your car?

A tiny revolutionary fold-up car designed in Spain's Basque country as the answer to urban stress and pollution was unveiled Tuesday before hitting European cities in 2013.

The "Hiriko," the Basque word for "urban," is an electric two-seater with no doors whose motor is located in the wheels and which folds up like a child's collapsible buggy, or stroller, for easy parking.

Dreamt up by Boston's MIT-Media lab, the concept was developed by a consortium of seven small Basque firms under the name Hiriko Driving Mobility, with a prototype unveiled by European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso.


Demonstrating for journalists, Barroso clambered in through the fold-up front windscreen of the 1.5-metre-long car.

"European ideas usually are developed in the United States. This time an American idea is being made in Europe," consortium spokesman Gorka Espiau told AFP.

Its makers are in talks with a number of European cities to assemble the tiny cars that can run 120 kilometers (75 miles) without a recharge and whose speed is electronically set to respect city limits.

They envision it as a city-owned vehicle, up for hire like the fleets of bicycles available in many European cities, or put up for sale privately at around 12,500 euros.

Several cities have shows interest, including Berlin, Barcelona, San Francisco and Hong Kong. Talks are under way with Paris, London, Boston, Dubai and Brussels.

The vehicle's four wheels turn at right angles to facilitate sideways parking in tight spaces.
The backers describe the "Hiriko" project as a "European social innovation initiative offering a systematic solution to major societal challenges: urban transportation, pollution and job creation."
