Looks like a kit car even more now that I've seen it up close.

Where on earth was this show held? All the cars are practically on top of each other, and all the visitors are on each other's shoulders.

It was held in a convention centre and a junior hockey rink that is attached to the convention centre.  Personally I thought the show a little slow when I was there.  not too many people in my opinion.

Ah, that's why I saw seats in the background.

Did Ferrari run out of Yellow and Red paint?  :huh:

A silver Ferrari.  :banghead:

All the cars except for the future cars or show cars are brought in by local dealers.  The Ferraris, Astons, Maserati, Bentleys, and Lamborghinis all fell into that category.  I heard a Ferrari rep say that they were relegated to the arena because by the time they decided to take part in the show the main halls were already full.

Those Astons are some design milestones.

That Elise is AWESOME.

That F430 is absolutely beautiful.

Those Aston Martins were in a class of their own, IMHO,....next to that modified E46 M3 right across from them. :P

It's actually light blue, as Mark already stated, but you see so many red and now yellow Ferraris, it's nice to see them in another color.  Those deep blue 355s look amazing.  A red Ferrari is so...."me too".

Even worse. The bumper has a shade of blue but the hood looked greyish/silver to me.

It is a tradition. Perhaps one should change the color of St. Patricks day because green is so me too.  ;)

I'm sick and tired of it.  It's like saying all Volvos should be beige and all Accords, Camrys, Benzes, and BMWs should be silver.

For what's worth, I agree.  Me agreeing may have just weakened your argument :mask:

I love silver Ferrari's... new or, especially, old:







Like a fine Detroit wine, this vehicle has aged to budgetary perfection...

IMHO, black ferrari's look the best.

Those are gorgeous.

But I'm convinced.  Ferraris should only ever be sold in red, and all other colored Ferraris must be repainted.

I think porches should only be on the front of houses.

Porches are awesome, and my house will have one someday.  Every neighborhood needs the crazy old guy on the front porch with a whiskey bottle and a Winchester.  I'm going to be that dude.


But now I've gone way off topic, so I digress...

After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

Call me a stubborn traditionalist then in this case at least. I found it annoying when they replaced rosso corsa with the Marlboro red on the F1 cars. And yes I am aware that they raced white/blue for a short time.

Imo it is always wonderful to see a sea of red at Ferrari meets.

I used to be that dude, with cigars.  But my friend with the front porch moved, and now we, as a group, are porchless.

It'll be worse when my daughter is 16.  Then I will be the scary old man with the whiskey and the gun who will kill the boy that touches my daughter. :lol:
