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

[whiteboy4hire]

I want that MINI.

 

[Madertus]

These are pretty bad pictures so sorry about the quality.

I'm either so damn drunk (don't look at me, I just got back home from my pal's 20th birthday surprise party) I think it's HD or their quality is just good ;p

Anyway, nice spots there!

Madertus, your 928 is actually a 968, still a great car. And the 356 Carrera, well what can I say, OMG.

1.) Thanks for correction
2.) Thanks for feedback on that 356

Some sweet Benzes on this page

Mercedes CL600 by ilikewaffles11, on Flickr

My favourite non-AMG coupe, the C215 BiTurbo V12 CL600. If I didn't have my S600, this would probably be the car I'd drive .

Next to the Lexus dealer was the BMW and used Mercedes dealer.

CLS63 AMG by ilikewaffles11, on Flickr

Gotta love the CLS63, the M156 in this car really makes it fly. 0-60 in 4.5 seconds if I recall correctly. The first generations have a fairly timeless design as well, looking sharper than some of the car just appearing on the market today.

Down the street is the actual Mercedes dealer which is crazy. The dealer is actually a mansion and the owner displays some of his cars up on the balcony. I should've got more pictures but was in a hurry.

All I can say is Metallic Strawberry Red


Nice spots 👍.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

I've seen that Mini, that's at the dealership on Baum blvd, right?

And where are the Lexus and Mercedes dealers at? I have to know! Are they near the Lotus dealer? (I assume that's the one in the north hills on route 19). Anyway, I know of a place down the road from the Lotus dealership that services speciality cars. It's called Exoticars. Check it out!

I'm not sure what street it's on but the dealer is Daniel's BMW/Mini. Also I'm not sure of the Lexus dealer and Mercedes dealer names but I'll ask my dad when he gets home. The Lotus dealer is Rothrock which is a Nissan/Lotus/Dodge dealer, near where I live not the Lexus dealer. I'll check Exoticars out, thanks. It's Thompson Lexus and the Mercedes dealer is right down the road.

You like Mercedes don't you deba?

And Madertus, it's probably the booze.

 

[deba94]

You like Mercedes don't you deba?

What makes you think that?

Though in all seriousness, what's not to like ? They're the oldest running, and arguably the most historic, luxury car manufacturer in Germany. They make some very luxurious and amazing performance cars as well. Once you own a Mercedes-Benz, it's difficult to go back to something else .

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Yea I do quite like Mercedes. I don't know if I'd want to own one though.

 

[Crumpet]

I'll probably make a thread tomorrow. So, for now, enjoy these pictures.

My first crack at photography, what do you all think?

[Not sure if these images even work, took them from my Facebook]

 

[ilikewaffles11]

I like the picture of that One-77.

Neat! 👍

Especially that One-77. This Diablo shot looks a bit... like nothing was happening there. Still, very nice. Clouds give it a bit of mood.

 

[Encyclopedia]

From the 2012 Gothenburg City Race.

The new TTA cars. 420hp V6 mid engined cars.

GT-cars. Lovely cars with lovely engine sounds (especially the Ferrari which was the loudest of all cars, and the Aston). Hugely uneven racing though.

Some other nice cars at the event.

 

[Carlos]

took a shower while taking these shots...

Hmmm cars look so sexy when their wet. Just like woman!

From Le Mans, I'll upload more when I have the time..

 

[C-ZETA]

Went to the MotorExpo today at Canary Wharf. Plenty of new cars on show from the manufacturers themselves, most of which could be sat in, along with some classics from car clubs and even a little bit of memorabilia in places.

Range Rover Evoque.

Just a Range Rover.

Classic Defenders here.

And a few more...

Followed by some older Range Rovers.

Inside a Range Rover.

Supercars and Superclassics. Just about everything in this section was stuff up for sale, FYI.

XJ220.

Allard J2.

Lotus Elan Sprint...mmm. :3

50s Bristol racer.

The old lean, mean, fat Aston Vantage.

Reventon.

E-Type Speedster.

Jim Clark's steering wheel. The price is right...

And then his helmet. Again, the price says enough...

Another shot of the Elan...

Interior of Elan.

Rubens Barrichello's race suit.

JB's Brawn GP helmet.

David Coulthard's race suit.

Eddie Irvine's helmet.

Ford GT.

Emerson Fittipaldi's helmet and Ayrton Senna's helmet...plus his visor. Visor is worth 3.5k alone. Damn.

AC Ace Bristol.

911 Turbo from '84.

Brough Superior from 1922

Scaled down replica of a 300SL's engine.

And a Bugatti Royale's.

300SL chassis scale model.

Scale model Bentley Blower.

And a scale model Bugatti Royale.

Plus scaled Alfa 8C 2300.

In 'The Italian Zone', a Ferrari F40.

And a Ferrari badge.

And a Mini Cooper rally-spec. Hey! That's not Italian!

Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa replica. Believe this was priced at around about £750,000...

...and its engine.

Ferrari 246 Dino.

New JE modified Evoque, the 'Dakar'.

And their classic modified Defender, the 'Zulu'.

Into H.R. Owen territory now, here's a Rolls-Royce Ghost.

Ferrari FF...

...California...

...and the Rolls Royce Phantom.

Inside a Maserati.

GranTurismo S...MC Strad?

And a Maser badge.

And the insides of another one. GranCabrio I believe.

Richter ABT R8 GTS...Jesus Christ, man, this thing looked crazy!

Richter ABT Q3...why.

Richter ABT Q5, again...why.

TKO Dodge Challenger SRT8. The rims on this thing were almost impossible...

And their Cadillac Escalade.

New Jag XF Sportbrake.

An MP4-12C...

...and McLaren's own F1 car this year.

Outside now, into the area of new cars and where you could really get into some of the stuff here. This was an XKR cabrio...

...and here was an XFR. Engine was still running in this thing?

Interior of aforementioned XKR.

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.

Chrysler 300C...

...Jeep Wrangler.

Lancia, or Chrysler, Ypsilon.

...Have to say, that thing was actually pretty tiny. But it was specced pretty stylishly...seemed alright.

Mulsanne.

Conti GT Convertible.

Inside a Conti GT coupe here...

Now, a Mini Coupe John Cooper Works here. This is rather good...

Insane dial.

Mini Roadster, Coupe's topless cousin.

And a Countryman. Felt bigger than a Coupe, don't really know which was better. Though the Countryman seems a bit iffy as a Mini...though the Coupe sort of is too.

IS250C...

...GS450h...

...CT200h...

...and an IS F. None of these were able to be sat in.

New A-Class! Actually able to sit in this thing, hasn't gone on sale from what I know though.

I think this thing might beat BMW and Audi in the hatch segment. Though I'm not sure about them having a hot hatch fight...at all.

Smart Fortwo.

SLK350.

Seat felt weirdly cramped in some positions.

SL63 AMG.

I'd be pretty happy with one of these actually.

E220 Cabrio...

...fooled you must be not by this picture, it is not a genuine AMG.

C63.

Merc were probably the best of the manufacturers here in terms of what they offered.

V70.

S60 DRIVe. Not so sure why it has such sporty looking when it's supposed to be economical.

XC60.

XC70.

C70.

A new 116d painted in pretty London 2012 colours.

BMW M5 M Performance Edition in a superb matte blue, which you...could not get into. Damn!

330d M Sport.

And a 640d, on a plinth.

Inside the 330.

And now, have some motorbike stuff.

I would take pictures of the bikes themselves, but there were people here. And these were motorbikes. And people were able to get on the motorbikes. Yeah.

And to finish, have some Lambos going in chronological order at an identical angle.

Whew. I missed Le Mans' finish for it but still, pretty good experience. And a damn load of pictures too.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Here are some pictures from the local auto show which was in March. I know the pictures came out pretty bad for the most part, iPod takes crappy pictures indoors.

Sweet post C-ZETA!
Interesting to see the E220 and SLK250 diesel cars being displayed next to a pair of AMGs . Did you get any shots from within the C63 Coupe?

 

[Madertus]

Wow, C-ZETA, just wow.

Why is Warsaw such a show-less place...

 

[Carlos]

Thanks C-ZETA for sharing 👍

ilikewaffles11, spotted my first DB7 last week! What a car huh!

It is quite a cool car, I've only seen two so far, that one and a GT at a show.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Jesus this page is huge. First time poster, had to go in and check the LFA out for myself, first one in Cleveland.

Also, mainly posting hoping somebody here who sees this knows somebody in Cleveland who will buy it and drive it around town so I can post it in the regular DYSAGT thread. Metro Lexus Cleveland. And if you're not from Cleveland, don't you dare go get this and remove it from my spotting area!

 

[Madertus]

^ That first shot.
THAT first shot.
THAT FIRST SHOT!!!

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Wow that LFA is really nice in that color!

 

[ND4SPD]

Went to Mosport International Raceway last weekend for some vintage car racing.

MP412 wishing it was on the track.

 

[poolhaas]

That's a great shot of the Mclaren, it does look like it's ready to get some racing done

 

[DKX]

Posted this in the hot rods, muscle cars and customs thread too, but I'm sharing it in this topic as well.

Couple of goodies from last night's car meet.

I'll end with this monster.. 1220 RWHP & 1222 RWTQ @ 25 psi on C16

We thought that this was going to be the Italian show they hold there but it was actually the D'Elegance show. So we'll be going to the Italian show also whenever that is.

Also what is that Aston race car?

 

[poolhaas]

I believe it's a DBR1, and the car you named DBR1 is a DB7 Zagato.

(F40 )

 

[deba94]

Sweet post ilikewaffles11!
That's a lovely Black/Red 300SL with Marschall headlights and overriders. Probably my favourite front end for the 300SL .

That's also a clean S600 .

I was thinking the exact same thing, that 300SL color/interior color combo was beautiful.

I figured you'd say something about the Mercedes'.
