I went to a big fancy car show and took a ton of photos.

Here's a few.

That's just nuts...

I bet the combined value of all those cars put together would be enough to build a new aircraft carrier.

Buncha poncy Euro failboats.

There were some rare critters in the mix.

You ain't kiddin'. It was, in the parlance of the young people, off the hook. The joint was lit, yo.

I walked up just in time to see the owner of the Aston Martin Lagonda exit the vehicle and I'm not sure what I expected. Surely some lunatic, right?

It reminded me of this old Far Side cartoon. Aston Martin Lagonda owners are clearly unpredictable eccentrics who make terrible choices and probably shouldn't be trusted with sharp objects or babysitting small children.

love the 904

Yeah, that was one of my unicorn sightings. I've seen a 906 and even a 917 up close but I'd never seen a 904. They're tiny little cars, even more petite than a Dino.

imagine doing 160 mph down the Mulsanne in that thing back when it was still 3.7 miles long
(they have a wheel base 10" shorter than a corvair, btw)

Wow, that looks like a hell of a car show. Thanks for sharing all the great pics.

I saw a 904 GTS at the Revs Institute in Naples, Florida. I don't think I could fit inside of that car. For the gear heads here, Revs is an amazing place that has one of the nicest collections of cars in the country and is well worth seeing if you are in Florida. Just about every car in there is a one of a kind, or well pedigreed example, all restored and fully operational.

I'm probably the odd-man out, but I dig those Citroens. That's an SM, a rare one.

A few more.

I dig Citroens, they're wonderfully bizarre pieces of engineering. There were two SMs there plus this guy:

While you're over here you should maybe check out the Sinsheim Technik Museum. It's not too far from Stuttgart, so not all that far from you in the scheme of things.

Thanks for the photos. I had planned to go to a car show on Sunday but we got rained out.

Looks similar to the 83 SC I used to have.
