Auto Africa 2004 - SLR, Audi Concept

[irrational_i]

I was not very impressed with the show from a spectacular point of view and there where way too many people for any reasonable shots. Except for a very few, very rare cars I can see clearer, better and unhibited examples in the dealer showrooms.

Ferrari was not well represented with a Scaglietti and 575M only.
Lamborghini only had a Gallardo.
Maserati had a Quattroporte.
No Porsche. *boo-hoo*.

Unfortunately the amount of people prohibited me from taking any worthwhile shots of the following interesting cars.
As soon as I get a datacable for my phone I will post some more shots.
Morgan Aero8, TVR 350C, Noble M400, Toyota concept, BMW M5, Maybach 57, Corvette C6.

So here are some with the Audi concept used in "I, robot" and the Mclaren Mercedes SLR. It was interesting to see the SLR open up like that!

I fully agree with you. It sucked.

BTW, next saturday I'll drive 600km just to see another motorshow where an Enzo and a SLR are supposed to be

That would be great!
I can't wait for the pics!

Unfortunately Africa is not the best place for insteresting cars, unless you want to be amazed at the banged up 70-80's mobiles actually still able to move!
It does not help that its "illegal" to import new left hand drive cars.
So no Enzo or Carrera GT scheduled. There was one possible owner for each but both orders had to be cancelled 8(.

As I said in another post - I'd emigrate to Europe just for the car events![/quote]
