Rolling Sculpture Auto show - A2 2005

Friday night was the Rolling Sculpture auto show, held on the streets of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

I'll post more pictures later. First though I'd thought I'd share something cool that happened. The owner of the chocolate shop (Scott), which my car was parked in from of made a "free" chocolate Porsche for me. His own car was parked a few feet from mine a 1981 Trans Am (post thunder chicken).

One of only twelve produced. The owner took it out to the salt flats.......................242 mph!!!!!!!!!!!

That's like a 100 more than my Targa.

Too many to post - and I thought I was being selective.

There were three other 911's, a couple of 928's, 944 turbo (for sale see Pelican classifieds),................... no 356's, no 914's.

Only two Ferrari's.........my buddy Bruce with his red 1981 GTSi targa being one of them.

Lot's of rare cars, did I show the green Ghia yet?

Never seen one of these before, just as nice as an Opel GT?

Interesting to see the Ford Shelby Cobra concept there. That must be a pretty cool looking car in person.

The thing you pick up on is that it's nice at every angle, and it's not as fat/huge as most pictures make it look. Having people all around it gives it scale.

I'd take the Ford GT (GT-40) over it, but it's a close call. Having a convertible/targa in one or the other would be the deciding factor.

EDIT: the Lotus 7 / kit car in the very first picture got lots of attention. Claimed 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds - motorcycle engine.
