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

[Madertus]

That's not the way to stop a monster truck.

 

[Izain]

Not to bump my own thread but hells yeah I did. Supercar Saturdays is a great gawking event for north suburban Chicago. Shame it was so nasty hot and humid this trip. More to come for sure.

I saw these at amusement parks when I went on my holiday to the US a couple of years ago.

Well my good man, if a future holiday take you the the Chicago area, as a fellow GTP member I will be happy to take you through the Volo Auto Museum some time.

 

[Madertus]

As promised 776318 years ago, here are a few pics from my voyage to a premium-car showroom.

A nice story behind it - I went on the Internet and found out there's a Lamborghini Aventador put up on sale - an auction to be exact. The next day I went to this showroom. I'm going in and, of course, there's a few nice rides in there. But I don't see the Lambo. So I asked the showroom's owner about it. You'll never guess...

"It was sold 3 months ago".

The size of ***** inside me was beyond belief.

California:

"Old" Mustangt GT:

Rolls Royce Phantom. I was no idea this thing is so gigantic:

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

^That looks like the EWB Phantom, but I'm not positive.

 

[Lissa]

Had a day out on Saturday at a local charity event. Just a few of the cars there.

 

[Tyger]

Sweet cars! Not a fan of GTRs generally but love that colour shift paint job.

And I love Tuscans in any colour

 

[poolhaas]

My GTR in Gran Turismo 5 has the same colour

Nice collection, love the Fords.

 

[Takumi Fujiwara]

I'm going to be at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, a.k.a. the Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca this weekend, armed with press credentials and a 500 f/4. I'll link to stuff here and post some eventually, once my publication's had a little time.

Nice pics, can I get an ID for the car between the GT40 and 911, on the track? I feel I should know it but it escapes me.

Not 100% but I think it's a Diva GT.

I'm sure you're right, very similar to this one, but numbered. Sweet car!

EDIT: Surely the same car, of course the number is a decal from the event, also that site appears to be Belgian, or the poster is

Were your pics taken at Spa?

They were mostly German events, this car was in the Historic Touringcar and GT Trophy (http://fhr-online.de/cms/front_content.php?idcat=58).
So don't know if that's the same one.

Were your pics taken at Spa?

Nope, today at Zolder. I left early in the afternoon when the heat (+35°C) started giving me a headache.

Love the NSU and that Triumph Dolly race car pic poolhass. 👍

I like that 1st pic of the MP412C aswell Icy J (really like those wheels, suit the car). 👍

Nice pic of that GTR with the Maziora paint too Lissa. 👍

Some photos I did this Sunday for the BMW owner's club...

Poolhaas, that classic event at zolder seems very interesting. Nice shots too.

Rue, BMW owners are already very proud, you increase it by a few notches. Great shots.

 

[Takumi Fujiwara]

I can't post most of my Pebble Beach and Monterey Historics stuff until the article is published, but I had to at least share these.

Game over guys, time to go home, best car ever:

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! ORDER NOW AND GET THE TRAVEL-SIZE VERSION!

Also saw this awesome IMSA RX7. Vaguely FC based, but it's got a 26b in it and it's clearly not production-based at all.


Ridiculous IMSA FC by maximstensel, on Flickr

I've got ten thousand more photos to work on, so stand by for later this week...

 

[ilikewaffles11]

I went to a Jaguar dealer today. There were three of these there.

The XKR-S is a blast to drive. I got to play with one in Los Angeles a few months back. 👍

Nissan 240Z Anniversary by ilikewaffles11, on Flickr

That's a 280ZX (the sign says so too if you look closely). Nice car though, I always liked the 260s and 280s as well as the 240, there used to be a pristine white 260Z down the road from me (with gorgeous chrome wheels) but I never got a pic, wrongly assumed it would always be there

EDIT: It's specifically the 280ZX Anniversary edition, I guess celebrating the 10th anniversary of the 240Z, so in a way you were right

 

[ilikewaffles11]

I though so, was just to lazy to change it.

Also that car is in very nice shape. The guy who owned it had a kid, looked like he was six, and while he was wiping it off his kid was spraying that little RC version with something and wiping it off.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Going to the Carmel Artomobilia tomorrow. Will definitely have pics. I don't know what will be there, I know for sure there will be a Jag XKR-S there though.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

There's a hot rod show tomorrow which if it doesn't rain I'll go be going to. So if I go, I'll post pictures.

Never seen one looking like that before
Great shots though 👍
