It was a sunny day followed by the heaviest rain I've seen in a long time when leaving, still lots of goodies during TF.

the amount of "head lights go up, head lights go down" and "track day,bro" is too damn high.
Trackday? :confused:
Headlights went up and down often during the ending-tour, we flashed them everytime people waved at us :D
 
A classic car rally held last weekend at Cortina and the surrounding valleys, the Coppa d'oro delle Dolomiti. I apologize for the bad quality

After a couple weeks of arriving either too early or past the nighttime rush, I arrived just as said rush was taking place and enjoyed a new pool of interesting cars to photograph.

14567845297_470c876fa3_h.jpg

One of the coolest cars there, I think.

14567600000_8cfd433a1c_h.jpg

For some reason my camera just would not get a picture of this Porsche, but after countless different angles, I coaxed it into cooperation.

14567638378_aebca8301c_h.jpg

Sadly, it sported a ridiculous amount of stance to the rear.

14567625869_3e13582e85_h.jpg

lol

14774146333_1906f30de5_h.jpg

I wanna see the dealer that has an R31 in its stock.

14751108381_59281e47a5_h.jpg

14751925354_40809c3dfc_h.jpg

14567619139_68cf6c15f9_h.jpg

Hardly anyone paid this a second look, something that speaks to just how popular Gallardos are in the supercar realm. All relative, of course.

14567586040_b81d5efa78_h.jpg

Nerdy cool!

14567825957_96aea8534f_h.jpg

All the little chips make this wheel look like a bowl of Oreo icecream.

14567823347_867203c9c8_h.jpg

I can never resist photographing a newer Civic, I just love them too much. Of course, being able to set my camera on a stable surface (a set of roadblocks) did a good deal of convincing, too.

14754260565_f17b9e3847_h.jpg

Something's happened to this bumper.

Cars & Coffee had a pretty good turnout this month.

14623849280_46f7b7278d_h.jpg

14810560515_d71e7dfb87_h.jpg

Italian leather smells great.

14623840090_d209338915_h.jpg

14623836200_b8aa170f1a_h.jpg

That's a high redline!

14623882229_8467f52e65_h.jpg

14623903508_13a7dcddcb_h.jpg

It's not that I'm biased towards photographing interiors, but they all turned out better than the exterior pics.

14808149434_6788e64e4d_h.jpg

The benefits of my camera's movable screen have made themselves known!

14623978537_6b362e2068_h.jpg

14810505205_52b4401895_h.jpg

14830320123_bccecf9fff_h.jpg

14623835439_9e7574abaa_h.jpg

A rather interesting exterior/interior combo.

14807380321_4b9cda134b_h.jpg

14830315343_ef7fdb4dff_h.jpg

14787487806_fd9ee1b67a_h.jpg

I later caught up with the owner at a stoplight on the way home and had a chat about our cars.
