Looking at the pics of all the equipment on pallets. You might leave alot of it on pallets that you don't use all the time. You can then pack it out of the way and bring it out when you need it.

I've mentioned the Sun Valley Road Rally before -- where they close a section of State Hiway 75 and cars are allowed (if they paid, of course) to run as fast as they can...

http://www.sunvalleyroadrally.com

Bugatti is a major sponsor of the event and invited every North American customer to bring their cars and run 'em. The event supports kids with drug and alcohol issues... Having nothing to 'advertise' we sponsor this event as well, and we just do so 'in the background' as I choose to do many things like this. So today I got a sneak peek at TWO Porsche 918 Spyders that are in town... and one of the 6 Bugatti Veyrons that has arrived.

#1 --- I'd love to see some of you guys decide to do this event in the future... and, of course, my shop would be available as well as trailer parking etc... and when the house is done (in time for the 2016 event) I'd make that available as well.


This one has the $63K "optional" paint job... The pics with my cell phone are not doing it justice! It was also dirty from having just been driven up from California.







This is a brand new one and was inside for a photoshoot... they've invited 25 potential customers to come check it out - and (if you're qualified or your name is Charley Lillard) they'll let you drive it if you're interested in making a purchase.






















Pictures DO NOT do these cars justice --- I personally think it's the most beautiful automobile I've ever seen. They're just spectacular!




Makes the lowly Veyron seem positively ordinary (it hardly is!)

I'm making steady progress in the new shop.... I have most all the heavy tools off their pallets and sorta kinda where I think they'll work... and the lift is ready for the electrician to come pull some wire for it.


HOWEVER --- I still have a LONG ways to go!!

Greg will you buy me a 918 ? Looking at your shop floor pics from above it looks like you just need a good floor scrubber with the polishing pads. It will keep getting shinier over time.
