C&C 8.27.11

Car-filled weekend, let’s start with Cars & Coffee.

Lamborghini Newport Beach brought out 2 Aventadors – White and Black. Didn’t snap a whole bunch of pics of these, a bit jaded (as I always say) since I saw the pre-Geneva release back in Dec of last year and caught them again at Concorso as well. The car is still growing on me and you all know i’m a Lamborghini fanatic. The Reventon DNA along with the rear of the Estoque still takes some getting used to for me.

Shot of Mr. Jon Sibal himself taking some pics for his world renowned blog – we discussed design elements of both the Aventador and Zagato (coming up), always thankful to get some insight from one of the most respected guys in the aftermarket tuning industry.

Another guest – as cool as Jon would be Alois Ruf. You may remember him from the one shot of me smiling in a pic when I had the opportunity to meet him at C&C earlier this year.

I shot the RT12S from the rear since that’s the only thing you’ll ever see from it on the road if you mess with it. I still love reading all the legendary Yellow Bird stories…

A car that I missed at Pebble Beach last week happened to show up at a C&C a little over 3 miles from house. I was first introduced to this car by my buddy AW – he knows his cars and this is no exception. Can’t wait to see yours AW.

Aston/Zagato really hit the nail on the head with this one IMO. Gives Aston that true exotic/sports car feeling that is missing from the usual refined GT IMO. Love the front fenders and roofline.

I like big butts and I cannot lie…

Something about this 3/4 shot that I was really feeling, particularly with the Vanquish in the background…bloodlines.

Front 3/4 is no slouch either. Really feelin that hard cutout. For the love of god, please clear-bra that interior panel!

Still has that very Vantage front nose – Jon pointed out the Skyline feeling window lines (he’s always right), love the overall aggressiveness this design adds.

Interior…What is this velvet? (Coming to America)

Jon has a great video of the startup at his site (click here) – I think I’ve reached my minimum Sibal mention, I only owe him $30000 now for mentioning my name in his blog 🙂 LOL.

Caught this friend of eGarage – GTS orange supercharged M3 towards the back.

Always nice to see the eGarage stickers on solid cars.

For some reason, I shot this walking out – back to the parking lot.
