This is my first time but I've seen pictures from last year.
It's a mix of new super-cars, old classics and hot-rods. Last year they had Bugatti Veyron, Lambo MurciƩlago,some Ferraris and a GT3. Those are all cars belonging to Intel employees (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

All ready to go!
Over the weekend I had to do some work for this: Refuel - the front trunk cable decided to snap again so I dropped the bumper. While in there.... I installed fog lights and, since the front valance was completely smashed on the driver side, I removed it, fixed it and repainted it, including matching texture. 2 hours of hammering... Then reinstalled everything and washed the car. This includes removing the tar that stocked from the road sine Friday the city decided to repair my street. Made a nice sign for the car. Now all is ready. I'm crossing my fingers so nothing will go wrong from mow on. BTW, while dropping the bumper I had the option to switch to a nice set of chrome. I decided to stay black and the chrome will be in the classifieds shortly. |

I was once told that in high-tech there are no weekends. Apparently, there are no working days as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

And here is my car with the open trunk showing the Tara top. People gathered with curiosity and were surprised that the car has no engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Here are the pictures.
I don't like the new cars so I skipped all the new American muscle cars, Bimmers, Porsches & so. There was a very large attendance and a lot of people came looking at the cars. I took the pictures in the show setup time so you don't see the crowds. Attached image(s) |
