    A black Miura with gold wheels is certainly a black car I could love. I might even be able to keep it clean, not as clean as John's dad keeps it, but cleaner than my cars!

      There were stories of the contestants of the Cannonball getting passed by the locals in their regular rides because there is no speed limit on the Stuart Hwy & very few people that to most of the people in the territory doing 200+ in an old Ford Falcon was just a tuesday.
      I know the last time I drove the Stuart Hwy, I set the cruise control to 200 & just sat back & watched the kms go by. I even got passed a couple of times. I wasnt driving a real sports car either, it was a stock standard Holden Statesman.

      Recently I spent 2 years restoring a 1972 Porsche 911t coupe, it had sat in a garage rotting away for 15 years, when I finished the car it was stunning and ran like a dream.
      When I put it up for sale, I immediately had offers. One person told me they wanted the car, and assured me that they where going to baby the car in thier collection and never even drive it.
      To which I responded "I'm sorry I'm not interested in selling this car to you then"
      Dumbfounded he asked "why"? I said" because, I spent the last two years bringing his car back from the dead, it had already been sitting for 15 years, I didn't do it for nothing, and I Didn't Do It For the Money this car needs to be driven and enjoyed"
      I didn't sell him the car.

I've got pictures from both years and the lighting in the Coliseum made it look like a dungeon compared to the Javits.

It's just a shame that nobody else will have the opportunity to appreciate the car and him for the level of work hes put in to preserve it. Then you see the pressure that John is already experiencing as the future custodian of the car to keep it perfect, instead of enjoying it on the road.

      At this point in time he's keeping it as more of an art piece. There's the driver cars which already have plenty of miles on them and have been thrashed on, and then there's cars like that Miura. A time capsule. Similar to an actual time capsule where items of a significant era are shoved into the ground in a box, never to be used or played with. However, the car world needs these time capsule cars to have the experience of owning a brand new Miura, but 40 years later.
