C&C 1.8.11

Another week back and some great cars again…missed a lot of this with all the rain in the past few months.

Sweet F50 upon entering the lot. Nice to see these out and running, $15K to replace the fuel tank every 5 years is no joke LOL. Might as well drive it.

Yep, that’s me in the yellow hat talking to my friend Jeffrey. Loyal readers (all one of you) will remember that this is the cover car I shot for HH and subsequent feature. Phil snapped this as I was talking to him on the way out. Holding my camera back to make sure it doesn’t swing and hit the door of Rolling Death

Happy New Year. C&C 1.1.11

Surprisingly busy for a day that most people are sleeping in, some good stuff though – all from my point and shoot this time since I left my other camera at home.

Lexus brought out the company supercar…in yellow this time. A little “pale” for my taste when it comes to yellow but not bad.

Gorgeous TDF 458…Ninja Star wheels fail.

This was more of a “cream” white which was a little weird, it’s a heritage color though so you gotta give it some love.

AutoGlym HD Wax – Retail $50…get it for $20

Run to your local WalMart and scoop some of this up now. AutoGlym is great stuff, usually pretty expensive (and from what I remember back in the day, only available at Detail shops) – Apparently it’s a limited time markdown, rather than a clearance item. First caught it on my friend Alex’s facebook via L4P. Special thanks to the wifey for scooping it up since WalMart is near her work LOL. 🙂

SEMA 2010 – Part 1

Can’t believe I’ve been going to this thing for over 10 years now…pretty apparent that the aftermarket industry is still tough, but the event had more “life” than last year…some big name sponsors still missing. Here’s a few pics of cars that caught my eye…

Seriously dumped A4 Avant @the InJen booth on Rotoforms.
