Places to visit for gear heads and car nuts!

There are so many places to visit in this country from museums, to road side attractions, shows & events, to enjoy seeing uniques cars and enjoying our hobby/business. I think it would be fun to list some of them. As we get more members in this group, please add your suggestions and I will collect them for a list on our blogs.  I can start by adding the George Bugg Collection in Athens. Probably the only way to get in is when there is a group or club setting up an appointment.

A Bite of History - Marcos  By Mike Thies

A Bite of History - Marcos 

By Mike Thies

The Marcos was one of those wonderfully unconventional British sports car companies that could only have come from the postwar racing world. The company was founded in 1959 by Jem Marsh and aerodynamicist Frank Costin, with the name Marcos coming from Marsh and Costin. Costin brought serious aircraft and racing design experience to the project, and that influence showed up immediately in the cars: low frontal area, light weight,…
