Enzo, Carrera GT, Ariel, Lambo, etc.
 

This morning my son, daughter, and I went to check out Crystal Cove in Newport Beach and we amazed at the hardware! There were some of the world's best supercars all in one parking lot.

Pretty ballsy to park that thing at the curb!
:eek:

Was there a car show going on or was this just the typical Newport beach affair?

I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't it cost like a half mil?

It's been a long time since I saw an enzo that wasn't crashed ;)

Parking it at the curb near crystal cove is not really that big of a deal, it's almost common. It's almost like an alternative version of reality down there. There is a great deal of discretionary income in south OC and the price tag for one of those is more like $1 mill.
I saw a carrera GT parked in front of an Albertson's supermarket last week. Prolly a daily driver.

I think this type of get together is something that they do every Saturday at about 7:00 am. While driving to the Promenade, we saw the Enzo parked on the street. It stopped us in our tracks! The owner had just left the get together and was down the street at Starbucks. To see that Enzo in person was breathtaking!

What is this?

Ariel atom I believe?

They are Ariel Atoms. It is a British made car either powered by a Honda engine in England or a GM Eco engine in the US. It has 300hp with a supercharger. Top Gear did a show on the car. It is an incredible car.

David

The red one was an electric powered one that beat the CGT in a race. The maroon one was the 300hp one.

I love this picture, typical of south orange county. Notice the bottle in the foreground? Perrier. Even the litter is over the top down there ;)

It nice to see your kids respecting his car, most would run up and put there face on the glass.


Michael

Thanks for the compliment regarding my kids. I am still in awe over that Enzo!

David

Nothing subtle about that car, eh? Its like a sledgehammer to your forehead when looking at one.

I believe the electric one was the testbed used by Tesla Motors. The battery, motor and controller are now what they use in the Tesla Roadster.

I'd buy one if I had 80k!

Is it just me, or is that an image of the Virgin Mary in that right front headlamp of the black 993TT?

Noah, I did not notice that! The photo is unretouched. Very strange.....David

Virgin Mary in Porsche Headlamp.....http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1155437031.jpg

Looks like the Emperor in Star Wars to me!

David,

Thanks for the awesome photos. I haven't been to CC in a couple of months. Did you see Motion there? He usually is there a couple times a month with the F-car. Last time I was there, the turn out wasn't that great. I have only seen an Enzo twice besides the crash photos, one at the LA autoshow from afar and the other on the grass at the HB Concours two years ago. Beautiful cars.

Chris

We've been keeping the F-car away from the show because its just too busy these days. Besides, you need to be there at 6:15 AM to park in the main lot. Too early. Its nice to just drive the 993 or the Harley and take it all in without having to worry about the car. Seems the show is changing more and more each Saturday - more towards riced Acuras and Vipers and less Ferraris and Lambos :(

LOL no one goes there anymore cause it's too crowded. ;)

Great slide show...My favorite car there? The '57 Chevy 2 door post...way cool!

People in California have waay too much money...in Colorado, we see a 5year old BMW M3 and people start frothing at the mouth

Yasin

I see Mary, the mother of Jesus in the passenger side headlight.:eek:

No, really I do.

Maybe just a woman with a hood holding a baby, I don't know for sure.

The driver's side headlight may be Jesus, but it takes a little more imagination - I guess.

Dear Lord, light my way.:cool:

I posted before going to page two David. Please post a close up of the other headlight.

Left headlamp......very strange.....

I saw it too. Glad I'm not the only one. :D

I could not find the HID Xeon head light thread in which I saw something like this earlier. Also once read something about BMW Mini headlights, don't know if that was a joke.

Can anyone find the link for me?

Wow, those are some cool photos. Have any of you been to the Meilenwerk Auto Museum in Berlin? I was there a few weeks ago and saw so many exotics... a 959, 2 Enzos, some older rare cars, a few lambos, etc.
