Did you find everything in the live arena a little quiet? Certainly made the Quattro seem a little boring, even with Stig at the wheel.

I'm not so sure, there were a fair few 9's and 10's there! (Pirelli blonde :sly:)

Yeah they didn't seem to really push too hard in the arena this year, they seemed to have spent most of their budget on Murray Walker and Jenson Button. 👎

No idea about the Ford GT, I only got photos of the front of it but it says something about it on the sign in the photo I posted.
How's this for more photos anyway?

Is that Zonda purple? Either way, it's still awesome! What did you think of the LF-A in person, I'm trying to like it but having a hard time.
 
I really like the TVR. My semi-obsession with them may have more to do with TVRs not being readily available in the States. I love the aggressive styling and the extreme form following function of the brand.
 
Sagari look awesome IRL. There's a gunmetal grey one here and sometimes I catch a glimpse of it.

However, I definatly wouldn't want to own one. Not with their terrible terrible (like old Alfas ^ 10) reliability issues. Give me a Wiessman (spelling?) anyday.

The Zonda was midnight blue.

I found the LFA suprisingly underwhelming, to the point that parking a white Supra in the same spot would have probably sparked more interest from me!

I can't put my finger on exactly what it was that I didn't like about it, maybe that as a static display it is fairly boring to look at in contrast to the other cars at the show. Oh, and the wood screws holding the spoiler on! :dopey:.
 
I loved the Lexus when I saw it, but the stand was very poor. It appeared to just have been shoved onto the back of another stand with a few bits of info stuck onto the wall and nobody looking after it! It was very bizarre.

I quite liked the Abarth stand myself, the lovely ladies handed me a leaflet on the brand (as if I needed it!) while I was peering into the 500s. :D
 
What's the story on the F-150 Harley-Davidson Edition? Looks like it says "Nirvana" on the rocker panel, but I can't read the rest.
 
It's the name of the company who's promotional vehicle it was; 'Petrolhead Nirvana'.

My issue with it is that for $400k I can have something that looks a whole lot better and has similar performance, like the Carrera GT. The LF-A is rather boring looking and most people wouldn't recognize it if they saw it driving down the street.

all those Rally cars, the Morgan with yellow wheels and the Hudson pickup are awesome. Noice stuff lately in here!!!
 
Awesome spots above! I love the Callaway Vettes. Moglet, all your shots are top-notch. It would take all day commenting on each amazing car, but I especially like the Audi Sport Quattro, LF-A and the Morgan is incredible!

I know that's at a dealer but holy ****! Pretty much every limited production Lamborghini since the Gallardo all in the same place. I also like the GT3 RS and Scud with the 16M stripe parked side by side.

Same same. The place isn't that big really. Just one floor of a multi-story car-park.
 
Hello with the auto festival recently here in Luxembourg I went around a bit and yes there were things to see:

I also saw an F40 being worked on, but they wouldn't let us go look at it because it was in pieces.
 
Damn you've been busy, winter break I take it?

And no, defiantly not a JCW MINI :lol:.
 
Spring break believe it or not, but yes we felt like going on a car spotting/looking at day. 6 hours of cars, still want more :lol:.

Yea, I though that badge was just thrown on. Never know what you can find behind the Auto Europe sevice garage.
