I figured it had been gutted. Extremely awesome anyways. I loved the glass case they had with Vettel's gear in it. Looking at it gave me goosebumps.

They were a-holes about it too. I said, "we paid a lot to be here, would you please put the top down on the car." They said, "nope, sorry." End of story.

No 991 - believe it or not. Or maybe I just didn't see one. Ha Ha! There were some crazy omissions from the show.

That sucks about the Audi and 991. But I'm sure it was still fun especially with your son. I really wish my father was into cars.

No 991 at the show? Are you kidding me? Wow! Wonder why they omitted that special car. They probably couldn't have lowered the top because the battery was disconnected as is usually the case at car shows like these.

Yeah but why not put it down before the battery gets disconnected? Main reason why I think any car company would bring their drop top to a carshow is to drop the top.

It really didn't make any sense and they were all pissed about us asking.

The other nutty thing was - you could sit in the Rolls, Bentleys, Morgans and even the One-77 if you looked loaded.

But the Mastretta and the Doking were off-limts...
