Did You See Anything Good Today? 'Event and Showroom Edition'

[Tyger]

I think that's the last series, but agreed, and I really dislike the way the plate and light clusters at the back are all covered by glass/plastic. That could look cool on some cars, but not so much on this. Older civics are sooo much prettier IMHO!

 

[Brett]

Nice spot on the Sagaris! 👍 I always enjoy a TVR spot.

 

[Murcie_LP640]

Always loved TVR's flip/colour shift paintjobs. 👍

It's the second last, actually; 2006 - 2012. The newest are a tad better, but they still look like a joke. My dad's friend has one from 2008, he says that trying to reverse it is a pain in the *neck* because of the spoiler at the rear window.

Oh, and I think that Type R Civics of these two generations look just kinda good. I don't know why, they just... fit.

Plus, I agree completely that older Civics looked way better, no doubt on that one.

It's really weird to see it in real live, but also very beautifull. The sound of that car is just awesome. A couple of years ago that same car or very similar at least was riding in front of me when leaving Ster (Ster is the village next to the Spa track).

edit this was a reaction to the Sagaris story by Murci_LP640

The TVR spot is awesome 👍

And thanks for the S2000. Shame about the added plastic. I prefer the pure basic version.

The Irish and Scottish Ferrari owners clubs had a gathering on the slipway where the Titanic was built this morning so I went to have a wee look. Nothing here you haven't seen before, but what the hell, I'll stick some photos up anyway. I've only seen an F40 in the Galleria Ferrari before and I spend ages drooling over this one (not literally!) they're so racing car like, you can baisicly see right through the mesh at the rear. I loved it8) After saying a couple of weeks ago how good the California looked, next to the 458 it does look big and bloated. The 16M left early and the sound it made - and the echos of the sound off the surrounding large buildings was amazing.
As I was going to cross the road (walking) to get there the traffic lights turned green and a motorcyclist did a wheelie away from them... but the bike got away from him and he fell off:shock: There were plenty of people around who were with him before me so I didn't go over to him, but he seemed to be fine he got up and walked back to his bike. Anyway, on to the photos...

Then, just as I was about to leave, someone turned up in a Delorean and stole the show!

 

[poolhaas]

Sweet collection there

 

[Madertus]

That 16M detail shot is stunning.

That was one hell of an amazing day, wasn't it?

 

[Carlos]

Hmmm 430 Scuderia is still sexy!

Nice pictures! 👍

 

[MarcoM]

F40 owns them all. It never is boring from any angle.

 

[Doog]

The Delorean came to crash the party.

A "little" show?
Automotive heaven more like it.

 

[Bom15]

Well it's held by a hotel. So literally a small car park and a small field. I think it's the 2nd year it's been running. The owner likes his italian cars. Hence the Ferrari's. Lots of Lancia's there to and I think his son owns the Gallardo. They also sponsor the Pr1mo Kawasaki British Superbike team.

It's smaller than alot of others I've been to. Hopefully this one grows. They've got 2 more later in the year. One's Italian Supercar and bikes. The other is Supercars only. The woman at the entrance nearly sent the Porsche Carrera GT into the public car park. Until someone else pointed out it was the most expensive car there. It was definitely good for £3 entry fee. And one I'm going to back to.

That's not an Abarth in the background, I was at the show to and went over there to look if anything was parked over there. But next to it was a BMW Z4.

 

[Madertus]

I have one hell of a big set for you guys. An event back from one month ago, 1/4 mile racing at Bemowo Airport

Sorry about LOOOOOONG post.

Began with NSX, very rare in Poland

RS6 '08 Saloon

Then, I entered the airport and ohmygod, was it worth the cash...

Old Gallardo:

A few GTRs:

Orange looks surprisingly nice on that:

My first C6 Corvette Z06:

(blurry, damn)

Magnificent 599 GTB Fiorano:

(thanks go to a gentleman who helped me with covering the window so the light wouldn't disturb )

That's it for now, more on the next page since I don't want to get killed for a long post ^^

I never saw one with a black stripe before, it looks alittle odd but still looks cool

 

[poolhaas]

Nice photos Materdus, the blue on the Lambo looks pretty weird imo but I've seen worse. Nice details on the Ferrari also.

Few from me.

 

[Madertus]

I'd love to see more of that And the M1 as well.

I was as surpsrised to see a blue Gallardo. Still, it's the Gallardo I've seen 'in the wild', so I didn't complain much

Also, you misspelt my nickname mate It's Madertus
And thanks for the feedback

 

[poolhaas]

Don't have much more.
Here's one next to his worthy opponent
