2019 Radwood Sonoma
A windy and muddy good time checking out rad 80s and 90s machines in the heart of wine country.
Sonoma Raceway 03/08/2019
Actual live racing out on the track.
A good day for racing: lots of cold air for more horsepower.
Snaking through wine country.
Really should’ve worn boots instead.
An R33 and R32 Skyline GT-R used to be rare sights here in the States, but now, they are practically everywhere.
I reckon an R32 is still the most iconic of all GT-Rs.
Those unmistakably wide hips of a 4S 911.
Abarth, styled by Bertone.
The grand touring Porsche.
A seldom seen Nissan Figaro in irresistible minty shade of green.
Rally homologation heritage doesn’t get any more special than this pair: Lancia Delta Integrale and Audi Quattro.
A bit of mud to enhance the features.
Styled by the 80s.
One of many Porsches at Radwood Sonoma.
Surely the most iconic air freshener ever invented.
Vintage Toyota trucks simply cannot be defeated.
The jewel of Radwood Sonoma: a white Lamborghini Countach.
From the bedroom walls of our childhood.
I’d prefer it without the wing, honestly.
The classic wedge shape, ruined by the extra bits of adornment in the later model year cars. It’s still impossibly cool, though.
Most popular attraction.
I get this reference.
The FC RX-7 remains one of my favorite cars of all time.
Not one, but two Delta Integrales at the show, this one in the shade I prefer on an Italian car: red.
Wish we still have all-wheel drive Toyota Camrys these days.
Curious luggage in this Porsche 928.
Porsche 944 in Jewish Racing Gold.
Lots of to take in just in this one photo.
Oldsmobile Silhouette: what use to be ugly is now cool.
An analog tonic to the digital world of all screens in modern cars.
A fast Volvo in a particular striking shade of dark green.
Mercedes Benz indeed does not make them like it used to.
Super rare sight: a Peugeot car in America.
French names long extinct on our shores.
It’s the car!
Only at Radwood can you see such obscure vehicles come to light.
A soggy and muddy field may not be the best place to hold a car show, but that’s what floor-mats are for.
A peak at the spectator parking.
Solid land cruisers of yesteryear. Not to be confused with the Toyota Land Cruiser.
Period-correct perfection.
A rebadged Ford Explorer into a Mazda
For the ‘gram.
BMW E28 M5: the original Q-ship fast saloon.
A clean FB RX-7 in rusty brown.
It’s what makes Subaru a Subaru.
The FB RX-7 cuts a classic RWD coupe shape.
A pristine first-generation Honda Prelude.
VW in the haus.
A German and an America parked next to each other.
The unchanging character line of a 911.
On a 911, the whale tail is better looking than the duck tail.
Good to see another quirky car from my childhood: a BMW 318is.
I guess this one haven’t yet been drifted into a wall yet. Hope it stays forever this way.
I’d take this over an E30 M3.
A vintage Land Cruiser is never out of place anywhere.
What better showcase platform for a Land Cruiser than a muddy field.
Small-sized fun from the land of Japan.
Seeing this sticker makes me sad that I myself haven’t yet even crossed 100K miles in any car.
Or is it just ‘Supra’?
This BMW continues to prove the point that Volk TE37 wheels look good on absolutely everything.
Phone dial wheels and Guards Red paint; it doesn’t get much better than this.
Spotted this nice E30 coupe parked off to the side of the show.
993: the pinnacle of air-cooled series production 911s.
I reckon these are only going to keep climbing in value.
Perhaps the coolest set of headlamps of all time?
This is the view that captivated me into the 911 lore since childhood.
Which one would you take for a spin?
Hey! There’s me, parked.
The sinister Buick Grand National.
You’d never have to worry about paint match when owning this car.
You can’t ask for a better backdrop.
Same layouts park together.
Another look at the R33 Skyline GT-R
Just checking out the races.
Bertone did tremendously well in designing the Countach.
The whale-tail awaiting its opportunity to depart.
I simply had to take another look at the gorgeous red FC RX-7
Three-quarter is best view of the FC RX-7.
Solid color combination on this Fox body Mustang fitted with Enkei RPF1 wheels.
A windy and muddy good time checking out rad 80s and 90s machines in the heart of wine country.
