Continential Auto Body was in Glastonbury for years before moving to Middletown. When I worked at VW, we used to be up there all the time getting stuff painted. Wayne is decent guy. They have a lot of cool stuff in Portland, and they open the shop every now and then for car and coffee.

Default Yes. Here's a note from the BMW club

Date: Saturday, May 2, 2009
Time: 10 AM to 3 PM, weather permitting
Place: 464 Portland-Cobalt Rd. (Rt. 66), Portland, CT



Please plan to join fellow sports and classic car enthusiasts from around the area at F-40 Motorsports in Portland for this annual event - although new to the CVC.

Mr. Wayne Carini will be holding an Open House providing a behind the scene peek at the venue for "Chasing Classic Cars", a TV show shown on Discovery HD Theater.

We are invited to "bring our beautiful automobiles and admire others". They will be filming an episode for the TV series that day, so make sure your ride is all spiffed up. The event is subject to weather permitting conditions, so if there is any doubt the morning of please go to their website www.f40.com to verify.

If any of you have seen the TV show you may have glimpsed a 2002 in some stage of restoration. And although not a BMW specialist, F-40 Motorsports and their associated business Continental Auto Body, surely have the ability and know-how to produce "Pebble Beach-quality" results.

This promises to be a very interesting event.

Directions: F-40 is located on Rt. 66, about a mile east of where Rt. 17 and 66 turn right after crossing the Portland Bridge in Middletown. (I'm sure you can all find your way - or go to MapQuest if you don't have a nav system, like me.)
