Why there's an S2000 at a car show, I will never know.

A few pictures from a regularly happening Saturday morning car show from a couple of months ago:

A bunch of Ferraris, Porsches, Lamborghinis, Vipers, Corvettes. Frankly, too much to stand out.

Citroën SM

Citroën Traction Avant

Ford GT in Heritage color scheme

Probably the star of the show on that day: Ferrari LaFerrari

I recently went to look at cars shown at a few dealerships. So, here's what I saw:

Well, I actually looked at the Used Car dealer next to the Porsche dealer first. There was a blue C7 Corvette Z06 here.

An Audi TTS Roadster, it's been a while since I've seen a TTS actually.

Alright, over at the Porsche dealer. Well, I actually went to see this Lotus Evora as I haven't seen a Lotus up close in a long time.

This is oddly enough the first car I've seen painted with a Martini stripe.

and there was 1 Porsche Cayenne GTS there along with a bunch of Macan Turbos.

I went to another town to check out cars in the Ford & Chevrolet dealers there.

Well, it seems that I saw a 2015 Roush Mustang.

The showroom oddly enough had an Audi S4 in it.

Of course, there was also a Stage 3 Roush Mustang there.

Finally, I see a 5th Gen Chevrolet Camaro Z/28.

and there was also a C7 Corvette Z06 there. I also heard that there was a C6 ZR1 here, but I unfortunately didn't see it.

The Chevrolet SS Sedan looks alright up close.

I also took a picture of this Camaro SS as it looks a bit...errr...different from the usual ones I see.

EDIT: I figured it out. The red Camaro above is a Commemorative Edition.

Drove past the Porsche/Audi/VW dealership in Maine and saw this 1994 964 3.6 Turbo sitting outside their service department! Worth $210k on their website. Didn't think I'd see it sitting outside.

Here's the dealer's listing:

Last week, I was visiting family with my parents in Wisconsin and while I was there; I went to an airshow. There were a few cars there and I snapped some pictures of them. So, here's what I saw in this little spoiler box thing.

Next, there was a Ford and Lincoln tent, so I checked it out.

There was a Roush showcase behind the Ford tent. I've already seen the 2015 stage 1 roush Mustang, but it's nice to get a close look at the other 2. I'm curious on how quick the stage 3 is now.

EDIT: I also went to the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky on the way home from my visit. I'll leave a link to my album here, but I'll also post the highlights here.

wareric11 · Jul 28, 2015

I saw a Youabian Puma on the way to work today. I can snap a pic on the way back home. No way a $1.1 million dollar car sold in the few hours I was at the office.

Dagger311 · Jul 29, 2015

The only 1958 Impala I've ever seen.

What is this?

Dealership had its fair share of trucks, too.

Never seen one of these.

I love me some big American boats.

One of few Packards I've ever seen.

Just a replica, but it was still pretty cool.

That pearl though.

Really proud of this next shot.

The other one? Not so much.

'MURICA!!!

Pretty cool Studebaker.

Nice paint.

Plenty of 50's American luxury cars down there.

Along with 20's and 30's Model Ts and As.

Next, the star of the show... A 1936 Hupmobile 618 G touring sedan. Very, very rare.

Wasn't many AMCs down there.

Always was a fan of old station wagons, not gonna lie.

You've been... Thunderstruck!

Love this color.

Was not expecting this!

Replica Cobras.

This one is one of the 1993 Cobras that Carrol Shelby had made to take advantage of the skyrocketing price of the 60's Cobras.

Always thought these were cool.

This was super cool.

My first numbers-matching 1954!

Can't remember what this was off of, but I love this shot.

Cool paint.

Cool custom Camaro.

There was also a yellow one of these.

My first 2002, and a Tii at that!

'MURICA!!!

Pretty cool Studebaker truck. Never seen one before.

Slantback Ford.

And I'm going to end this post with one of my favorite cars in my favorite color combo for that car.

Gotbeefboy564 · Jul 29, 2015

My first 12C

Gotbeefboy564 · Jul 31, 2015

Sorry if I blow anyones computer up trying to load the pics.

4C spider Prototype

@Cano and @jeffgoddin you might want to see this one.

They had more cars than what I posted but I only had 2 hours to look before I had to go back home.

stumpydino · Aug 1, 2015

I spoil myself with going to a zillion shows so I don't tend to get many good spots that I can summon some interest in when I've seen them countless times, but heres a couple recent highlights.

mercedes_clk_gtr_roadster_by_smevcars-d8ypw7h_zpsuhm9hwfp.jpg

Sold for just over £1.5mil, and then...the winner pays 12% to auctioneers and if it stays in the EU, 20% import tax!

ASA Mille GT. ferrari 4 pot, bizzarini chassis, bertone body.

Parradine 430. So, a buyer dropped a deposit for one before the company went bust, and before one was made. He put some of it together in the closing down factory and finished the build himself over 10 years!

These old guys've really got me beat as far as early rising goes. Normally I get here at around 7:30ish or later and it's already a full house. Today I made a point of waking up bright and early and got to the venue at 7 o'clock sharp. It wasn't as occupied as I'm used to, but there were still plenty of cars on display and people walking around already.

I know the 996's headlights aren't too popular but jesus christ you guys, headlight covers are never the answer.

This Marauder is an '03 and has less than 10,000 miles on it.

Tire shine on point.

It also had like, no exhaust whatsoever.

What a glorious color.

That's a weird shift boot if I've ever seen one.

I think I like the rear wheels better.

daaaaamn get that photographer stance boiiiiii

*bends over*

Amazingly he was able to leave without reversing to get a better attack angle on that speed bump.

The color of this wrap is more pleasing in photos than in person.

Nice view of uh... Camelback Mountain if I'm not mistaken in this one.

This car is strikingly diminutive in person.

This car was being hounded by photographers.

Those tires are rather attractive.

This thing was so nice, but everyone was distracted by the orange Porsche.

To be fair, though, this is pretty attractive.

The driver of this 300SL looked a little bit like Wilford Brimley.

@Davis was excited to inform me that that GB badge comes from the Mini Cooper S MC40 Edition.

Stock.

Not stock!

These Lamborghinis were being hounded with attention.

this is not matt farah's million-mile lexus

You thought we were done? lol not in the slightest

I'm guessing those LEDs above the wheel are shift lights?

Anthracite <3

Normally not a fan of CLKs but the subtle touches make this one look nice.

Protip: this is a 400SS, which was a special edition of the Silverado only sold in Mexico.

One is for hauling kids and one is for hauling ass.

TIL that the Chevrolet Concours was a thing.

Larger than life.

Normally not quite a fan of the second-gen GS but this one at this height with these wheels just does it for me.

damn u pimpin boy

DAMN U WHIPPIN FORREAL SON

straight thuggin

Audi do some nice interior lighting.

lol @ the Police Interceptor badge

Last weekend ther was a time regularity rally near where I live. During the period when it was still a race Tazio Nuvolari described it as the Mille Miglia of the mountains. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

The first one to name the man with the hat gets an internet cookie :lol:

Went to a place called the Oil Can Café today, it's in a lil town called Holmfirth which is right next to Huddersfield and about a five minute drive from my house (the café itself is another 20 minutes/half an hour, mind). It's a café, of course, but they have a workshop attached to it that deals in ye olde cars and quirky old stuff and things like that. The café itself has a few cars on show that you can look at, but on a Sunday the workshop is open to the public and you can go in and look around at what they got. So we went today and I took pitchurz, and since I'm nice I'll give you a link to the album on Flickr instead of clogging up this thread more with photos since I had to stop it loading before my laptop exploded.

There was a Ford Shelby GT500 for sale at a small car dealer near my house. It's sold now.

A few days ago; I took my mother to the Ford dealership so she could pickup her car. Her Fusion was there due to a recent recall on power steering. Anyway, I saw a Thunderbird and another Shelby GT500 in the service area.
