Plenty of wonderful company, your pup will be very well tended to, ready and eager to play when you return. Secure, temperature controlled and run by serious car enthusiasts (Glen has a Lotus Elise for track fun). They will tailor their services to meet your most exacting requirements at the Petrol Lounge. Thanks to Glen for the tour. Here are some of the cars when I visited earlier this week. More pics later.

At the recent historic races at our own Circuit of the Americas, I discovered this appealing 904R replica built by Beck.
The original Porsche 904 was available in 1964/5, also called the Carrera GTS. Its 1966 cc, four-cam, flat, four-cylinder “hemi” engine produced 198 hp, called “probably the most complex four-cylinder” ever. The car weighed only about 1,450 pounds allowing it to reach 60 in less than six seconds, and a top speed of 160 mph. They built 100 street versions and about 16 racers, so they are hard to come by. This replica is more powerful and a bit heavier. Still, a very desirable car.
Very high tech, very limited run of about 1300 cars from 2004 to 2007. The Porsche Carrera GT was originally conceived for Le Mans in the late 1990s, but using an earlier V10 engine designed secretly for Formula One in the early 1990s but never used. 5.7 liters, cranking out 612 hp at 8000 rpm, reaching beyond 200 mph. Monocoque carbon fiber body and subframe. Tricky to drive, they cost about $450k new. See link at right for Mosing Motorcars.
