ST. ARMANDS CORVETTES ON THE CIRCLE SHOW MAY 6, 2006 SARASOTA, FLORIDA : This is the fifth year we have attended the Corvettes on the Circle Show. It is always a great show and get together of Corvettes and their owners. The show is basically a display show with judging done by a popular vote. Never considered a serious win by most owners.

I am not sure what to make of it, but it was interesting to see how many Corvettes had stuffed animals and other creatures all over them.

If you recognize your car please leave a comment and information. Thanks for viewing and see you next year.

WALTER HILL'S MOTOR CAR COLLECTION : Through the years I have had the great fortune to meet a lot of special people and Walter Hill is one of those people. I met Walter through another good friend Capt. Dick Trice a former Eastern Airlines pilot. I only ever visited Walter’s place by car one time and it is almost impossible to find. All other visits were made by flying with Dick in his gorgeous Christen Eagle biplane.

Walter’s place was located in an larger portion of property that was a cattle ranch located west of Fort Pierce, Florida in a rather desalet area of the countryside. There was a hanger and another building that was home to the car collection. It was air-conditioned and humidity controlled. In front of the buildings was a grass strip used for aircraft landing and other side separated by a guardrail was a quarter mile paved tracked with loops at both ends for the return.

Real cattle with real cowboys on horses also use the grass strip during the day.

My first visit to Walter flying in with Dick offered a moment of panic as I thought we were missing the runway only to find airplanes used the grass.

Walter spent only a few weekdays each week at this location enjoying the cars and then returned to his house near the coast. Mr. Hill was a real pioneer at Eastern Airlines back when aircraft really had props. His love for aviation was also high.

Mr. Hill’s collection featured some the finest Jaguars in the world. He never like it called a collection. Painted in the car building was the following:

THEIR SWEET LINES ALL BUT TAKE MY BREATH AWAY,
AND I DESIRE THEM AS MUCH FOR THEIR BEAUTY AS FOR THEIR USE.

Walter still enjoys life today but only memories of the car collection he once had. For personnel reasons the collection was disposed of in 2005.

I was lucky enough to have ridden in several of the cars with Walter at the wheel. That is me in the Group 44 number 44 Jaguar cockpit getting ready for trips up and down the track. Great times and memories…Thanks Walter and Dick.

EXOTIC CARS AT CAESAR'S PALACE, LAS VEGAS, NV : Exotic Cars at Caeser's Palace is located in the Forum Shops at Caesars (a Simon Mall). It is described as a luxury automobile dealership and retail emporium. The retail store contains a large selection of auto related items like models, clothing, etc. ALL EXTREMELY OVER PRICED.

The automobile dealership can be viewed by looking into the dealership area from one end or paying $5. to walk the loop which goes down the sides and up and across the back offering some great photo opportunities. They were no prices on any vehicles. I found it worth the visit.

PENSKE-WYNN FERRARI/MASERATI, LAS VEGAS, NV : The Penske-Wynn Ferrari/Maserati located at the Wynn Hotel and Casino. Penske-Wynn Ferrari dealership was really a must see. Cost 10 dollars to take a look, guess you get it refunded if you buy. There was about 30-35 cars on display, most all Ferraris including two Enzo models. The dealership included a gift shop with EXTREMLEY OVERPRICED MERCHANDISE, but then again Ferraris are not cheap. It was to my disappointment that NO photography was permitted. The collection is contained on two floors. On the way to the basement collection you pass the service area. I could not resist sneaking a shot to share with everyone. Way cool!
