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

[Doog]

So I went to a car show today...

Nice E39 M5 on the drive there.

The kid to the left kinda reminds me of the kid from Up.

Mother of height.

Sounded like a lawn mower.

Call me racist but I wasn't surprised to find out that the owner of the van is a Miguel.

It was at this point that the SD card became full, so after deleting any obviously crappy photos I was much more sparing with what I took pictures of.

Of all the cars there, the one I keep coming back to to look inside of and take pictures of is the 150 horsepower V8 coupe from the 80s.

So that's what I look like. Kudos to the owner of the Mini for volunteering to take my picture. Unlike the owners of all the muscle cars previously photographed, the owner of the Mini wasn't an old white guy.

^i hope no one quotes that.

Nice pics btw.

That white '65-66 Mustang, the Buick Riviera, the black Roadrunner and the 80's T'bird are all gorgeous.

Seconded, pure pornography that is. Also Dat 442.

Seriously though, epic show! I wish I could've been there! Also, do you know what engine is in that Nash?

That show looked like a blast. Wish we had some cars like that here - and the weather!

Kidding! Yeah, I noticed the Lambo showroom! That's why I was excited when my dad wanted told me we're going there!

 

[ilikewaffles11]

So I went to that Porsche/Audi/Merc dealer again...

[jeffgoddin]

yeah, already saw all these on your flickr, but just realizing, holy cow a lot of these guys have cameras on their cars so they can watch back their drives! Cool? Or kind of weird? Or just odd? Or new?

 

[Rue]

I've only just looked at my photos closely and didn't see all the in-cabin ones! Few different reasons I guess; recording times on a certain stretch of road, covering themselves should some taxi driver that can't drive cuts them up or hits them, or just to make a short movie.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

Rue -> What!?

^ No love for the S2000!? And yet, boatloads of GT86 pics!? No fair!

(Even as an S2000 owner, I'm not being biased whatsoever)

Sorry, mate the S2K didn't come out. I could try and salvage a shot though, just for you He's a regular on Sunday, I've snapped him before.

[jeffgoddin]

VB got an S2K? Now THAT's no fair! But seriously, good on you for that, mmm, probably overall best car yet produced.

 

[Madertus]

The new Boxster is sooo good looking. Nice in that blue too.

I know, right?! I really like the newest Porsche line-up. And I'm not much of Porsche fan, only models that got me excited were 356, 550, GT1 and Carrera GT I think.

Also, the last picture in that epic post of yours appears two times

^ Don't worry, I was just playing around.

-> I rarely come on this thread (due to the epic size of pics here). So yeah...

^ What you only knew it now!? I've been an S2K owner since 2008, an '04 AP2v1. Here's my latest profile.

 

[Tyger]

That Kaiser Darin Gasser.

That almost made me cry, and not in a good way. There are so few of them around. Each to their own I guess

Epic post though Doog, thanks for sharing! That black Impala is evil, EVIL I tells ya!

 

[Zyla]

F40.

Enzo.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

You ought to go back when they're open, if you can.

 

[Zyla]

You ought to go back when they're open, if you can.

I'll sure try!

 

[Tyger]

Sorry to be demanding but if you do, could you get the gold 456 behind the yellow Italia? <3

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

About damn time you posted them! I wish I could've been there! I've never seen an Enzo, you're lucky.
