One amazing car collection...

[MikeNSX]

In addition to owning 3 musclecars, I'm a member of the Tennessee Tubs, a group of bathtub 356 Porsche enthusiasts.

On Saturday, we held our annual Tubs event at the farm of Cal Turner III, who graciously hosted we Porsche fanatics with a nice BBQ luncheon, a 356 show, and a display of his collection.

Here's a few pictures of Cal's cars...starting with his Carrera GT.

Here's a few pictures of his 550 vintage race car, along with a few better pics I took at last year's event that show off the engine better.

Middle...Cal's farm is in Kingston Springs, just outside Nashville.

LOL. You forgot:


Lady Magnet (Censored Version :jump:)

[Damn True]

99% of women wouldn't be able to tell the difference between it and any other 911 (intentional). The one percent that would know the difference would need much more than that to be impressed.

I've loved RUF's since I first read about the Yellowbird.... awesome cars... I's crap my pants if i ever got to drive one..

This is true. I suppose the inclusion of "lady" magnet is then superfluous.

These cars are not Cal's, but were at the BBQ. Not so sure about the colors on the GT3 RS, but it sure drew lots of attention.

Someone decided it was more stylish to fly in in their helicopter than to drive their Porsche. We all thought it might be Dario and Ashley Judd since Dario is a member of our local Porsche Club and is an avid helicopter pilot. Unfortunately, it wasn't them.

Yikes. The R-22/R-44 is just about the most terrifying aircraft on the planet.

I like the RS3 but prefer it in this livery.
