For the first time ever most of my favorite cars were New !!

The Porsche GT3RS
Aston Martin Vanquish
The Ford GT

All three of them are just beautiful in an old sort of way yet so new and modern.

The 67S was just incredible, it's one of those cars that is so perfect in every way, the Beige color w/white interior. Thats probably my favorite car of the show, I used to just go all nuts over the Carrera RS , sadly theres just too many replicas that just ruin it for me. Don't get me wrong I still love them but when you see 3-4 lined up together and you can't really tell which one is the real one you quickly walk away and look at the car that stands out in the crowd.

There was a really neat Oxford Blue 72 E Targa that was really neat just a nice simple driver older restoration but it was a sharp car.

Also there was a guy whose name I forgot from Chicago who also had a beautiful car, it was a Rosewood SC coupe that was unbelievably beautiful it had Jason Cullen Sport Seats which were stunning.

On the non- Porsche Front, I've always like Astons but never really loved them until now, and again it's a new car, but my god a Blood Orange Vanquish has got to be one of the best looking cars ever made.

The Jaguar owners well were never around their cars so there was not much conversation to be had, they were all at the mobil bars grabbing a pint!

I also caught a 944 Owner smoking a joint, that was pretty funny. I think he's a pelican too!

It was also amazing seeing and hearing about the distance some of the cars came from, California, Texas, Canada, Florida. I think almost every state was represented!

Met quite a few pelicans and drove up with some more, pleasure meeting you guys!

Too bad the Egos couldn't stay at home, when the cars come out. It would really make a stellar event even better. However I will say that Every Pelican I met were all stand up guys, except for well... that one guy ahem MR. FAKE SPORT SEATS. you know who you are.. .. .. Oh yeah and if your gonna boast to some passerby's regarding the cost of your 60K resto replica at least throw some real ones in there!! heheh Jk..

"944 owner "CAUGHT" smoking a JOINT!" LMFAO! too damn funny! i always knew 944's had a reputation! god that was funny!
