Giving everyone plenty of notice this year!

The annual car show on 5th Ave. will be Saturday Feb. 11 from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm.

It's sponsored by the Ferrari Club of Naples with cars from other local car clubs, like the West Coast Muscle Car Club, participating as well. Lots of exotics, classics and muscle.

See you there!

Thank you for the headsup, B!
Look forward to seeing you & S, there...

For anyone interested in 'cars', this show is a remarkable assembly of everything from antiques to muscle cars, classics, state of the art F and P Cars, and all manner of rare and unusal exotics, and sports cars. 'Free', but they ask for a few bucks donation to some good cause...

Worth a couple hours wandering around on a usually beautiful weeked day, in Naples.
GL, mD

Hi B&S,
Hope the weather guessers are off the mark, and that Saturday is dry, for the car show...
Look forward to seeing you two!
BR, D & V

It looks like it may rain early in the morning. We were too late with our application, they were filled up.

We'll be there, rain or shine.

Hope it's a fun day for everyone, great way to spend a Saturday.

Beth

It turned out to be a beautiful day! Huge crowd at the show and as usual tons of amazing cars.

I'm waiting for MotorDavid to post some pics. :-)

Lotta pressure, B!

Fiddled with the better shots in LR, shrunk them and tossed them to P Bucket.

We got to the show at ~9:40 AM, (though they said it 'opened' at 10), and the streets were crowded. Half an hour later, the streets were packed.

Very dark, cloudy day initially, but no rain, and it got slightly brighter over the next couple hours.

It was difficult to shoot the cars this year, as the crowd was thick, the cars were surrounded, and full of idiots trying to shoot with their cell phones.

NEway, I am a motorhead, and love to see engines, so the collection has a lot of motors in the bunch. A few pics pasted below, and the link is too.
Sorry we missed you B & S! Next year I am bringing radar to find you amongst the crowd...look forward to seeing you two soon, and S's new 'Stang.
BR, mD





Very rare Fisker, just being released; your basic $100Gs+ 'hybrid', lol!


Enzo Ferrari...one doesn't see these every day, at the Walmart:




Nice 427 Cobra...the real deal, not a replica:


And, that 427 engine, worked on a bit:


Cool Plate; we've been to the ABCs several times, scuba diving:


And, my CEO, who puts up with all of my "let's do this" stuff, and she can drive our 6 speed VetteVert, as well as I can:


Remarkable collection of cars, good people viewing, and there is some seriousazz dough here in Naples, as evidenced by the Hundreds of Millions of dollars worth of assemble cars.
Thanks for looking!
BR, mD
