Feb. 17th Toronto Autoshow, (Updated with visit 2)
 

Here you go guys, i figure, this is just the first, and probably the worst set of pictures of the autoshow. We got some pretty good photographers from JW who live in and around Toronto so i'm sure they'll do better, but anyways, here are mine. they get better towards the end, quality wise anyways. I'm hoping to go back next week and get some more. My favourite car there was the Scaglietti. beautiful paint job, not sure my pics did it justice, but thanks to the ferrari guy for letting me in there. Unfortunately, pretty much the whole m-b exhibit was a write off. Hopefully visit 2 if it happens, goes better.

Not a bad show in all and lets be honest there's a bunch of cars in there that will never be seen on the road. The douchebag quotient was pretty high yesterday, too many idiots from high school around spouting knowledge of how "this car does 270 miles an hour". :roll:
Anyways, till next year.

i apologize for the pics in the second visit that are from the same or similar angles. :roll:

Oh and speaking of douchebags:

Thats me, off the Ford company site, lol

Nice pics! I'm looking forward to going on thursday.

the alpina is sick

WTF IS THIS?!?

Tkx for LBs picx :P

bah the autoshow this year looks like it is gonna suck... i will save my $25 and buy somthing worth while with it...

The car is a bel air concept

uh-oh, pseudo graywolf returns :lol:

after i been to detroit autoshow i am not sure i am that interested in tornoto autoshow anymore

detroi, the manufacture actually spent money for the display

toronto's auothsow, they just put some car on teh floor , tahts it

sorry we missed you that saturday; but i'm glad you enjoyed yourself at one of the premier auto shows of the world :D
believe it or not... but this years show.... well, more then that... every show since 2002 hasn't been as awsome/amazing since 2002. all of the companies were still in the black... well, ford had just lost a lot because of the Firestone fiasco... but that didn't change the show... part of it was the cars, and the other part was the lavish expense put into the displays.

last year, the Ferrari booth F**ked up in their choice of floor, which definately didn't flatter the cars on a flash camera :?

nthfinity
yeah, maybe i will meet up with u guys next yr^^

the only disappointment of the detroit autoshow was
fxx was not display for the pulic

I was at the show during its 2 press days. Took almost 7 gb of pictures, and took god know how long to edit them all and put them online!
