    Thanks guys. I will put some pics early next week.

    I attended this event last year, but it was a `working holiday` - Garry and I did a "quick wash" on 13 Ferrari`s, Lambo`s, Porsche`s, and BMW`s from a Tampa car club.

    Yesterdays show was great! Temps in the upper 70`s and sunny.

    Tonight I will work on uploading photos, but here is teaser of what was at the show: Ferrarri Enzo, Pagani Huayra, Alpha Romeo TZ3 (one of 9 built), a McLaren P1 & a few MP4-12C`s and 650S`s, Porsche Carrera GT, a few Lamborghini Anventador`s & a Huracan, Saleen S7, and the only model currently in the US of the Aston Martin Vulcan. There were lots of other nice, fast cars there too. More to come, and some very cool news too!

    OK, sorry for the delay, I could not bulk upload pictures yesterday.


    So on with the show!
    The Festivals of Speed Orlando event is held at the JW Marriot & Ritz Carlton Resorts. The resort has a long, wide (about one car lane) sidewalk with lots of grass areas that meanders around this `lake`, and paved verandas to put the cars on. We were lucky enough to be in the `special` car area, a small rise, with it`s own path.


    A nice Porsche Carrera GT ( $500,000 car when it was introduced in 2004)



    And a few 911`s



    And a Porsche tractor!



    This is an Alfa Romeo TZ3, one of 9 built



    Ford GT


    Groups of cars



    A couple of Lambo`s



    Some McLarens
    650S




    MP4-12C





    Saleen S7



    The opposite of the supercars!



    Cobra replica



    A Fast & Furious car (I have a friend who is working on FF8 who will verify that for me)


    Funny to read the `build` info on this car!



    Aston Martin Lagonda




    Getting nice and warmed up now....a real race car
    1968 Lola T160, with a T70 MkIII body





    I spoke with the owner of that Lola, and he still runs the car on track days. He said the 17" wide rear tires could be a little wider for the power the car has!


    Now getting down to the supercars...
    The newest supercar, an Aston Martin Vulcan, is a track only car, with a 7.0 litre V-12 that puts out 800 HP. Only 24 are being built, and this is the only one currently in North America





    McLaren P1



    Ferrari Enzo





    Pagani Huayra





    And our modest little 1912 Indy tribute car



    Very cool to see all these amazing cars in one place, and my client was beyond stunned when he got this!

    Thanks fellas! Some of the cars were dealer cars (Vulcan, and a few others) but most were judged, and received trophy`s in their class. The owner was still stunned with I saw him yesterday.

    I have spoken to him about bringing the car to DetailFest for the Saturday show, and he is interested. Stay tuned!
