that morgan is cool. and those 356's are awesome too. great pics Dana! thx for sharing.

 

great photos!! i love those ZR1 vettes. especially that red one. havent seen on in that color yet except promo pics. going to your website now to look more.

 

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments.

I was not prepared as well for the pre-dawn shots as I should have been. I needed my full-sized flash but didn't bring it. Live and learn.

Paul brought his full-sized flash and has some nice pics as well. I will encourage him to make a post with some.

It brings me a lot of joy to share things like this with you all.

It is the best meet of its kind in the country. I enjoyed the time we went together too.

I liked the 599 GTO - although there were some tacky design choices on it like the pinstriped wheels.

I was probably most intrigued by the V8 Ariel Atom because there are so few of them. I actually have a video of that guy starting it up.

Thanks brother. It feels good to start contributing car content again.

That Dino was striking. I have seen several but that one was in such pristine condition. The green paint just popped.

The color scheme was unique but - as mentioned above - I hated the pinstripes on the wheels.

Come on Ben. Stop tossing softballs up there.

I told Paul that you would have loved Saturday because of all the classics that were there. I knew you would feel this way.

The funny thing is, I kind of felt the same. Maybe we are both old farts!

No worries brother! There were like 5,000 people there. I hope my fat ass doesn't stand out in a crowd that much!

 

Wow, awesome pics Dana! Such a nice variety of cars, the 599 gto really struck me the most, as well as the black 993tt. Did I spot a black singer porsche in there or am I just crazy?

 

Here are a few more pics that I omitted above.

 

Pretty crappy video of the MP4-12C. Just too dark for the D90.

But it gets the basic message across. Also added to initial post.

Be sure to watch in high def. Makes a big difference.

The second half - after 1:40 is much better than the first. The sun had come up.

Thanks for sharing Dana! That black GTO is a beauty. I really need to make it down to this meet one of these days.

 

1500 cars? I would no sooner go to this than a Justin Butthead concert with my 12 year old daughter. Zoo to say the very least.

Yes all you youngsters with no taste and appreciation I'm an old man.

 

I see a silver MP in Dana's future

 

Dana, thank´s for posting this and all the work you put in it, reps for you

I just love the "old" Porsches like this one, so beautiful!
