Euro Fest 2014 Photos

I left Hiawassee Ga. at 6:10 am and still got there later than I wanted it was about 8:24AM.
The cars were lined up pretty thick, and Porsche ruled the day. But the only car my daddy let me drive was only Ferrari, he said son don't get involved with them "off brand" cars, and I didn't I was true to my Daddy's word. But............ my sister won't drive anything but Porsche.
The cars were on the field and setting up, the weather was a perfect 58 degrees. Sun was at anytime capable of giving you cataract surgery on you eyes as it was so bright. Maybe it was just the cars.
The Miura was great, as that is one car I can remember from the 60's that came to Hiawassee for my dad to test drive. It was a lime green one, and as a kid, that was some sort of car.
Saw plenty of cars that were there last year, and plenty that were new to the field.
The only thing missing was young teenage boys "squealing" when the Lambo's went by. I guess that is an Atlanta thing. The cars filling the show ground, some looked like they could plow the ground with their nose, but I never saw one dip into the dirt.
That was a gaggle of Turbos from 1986ish give or take a few years, at least 12 plus the new stuff. I tend to like the older stuff, otherwise it is like going to the jewelry store and everyone buys the same new Submariner. I can't tell the new stuff apart. It was shocking that nobody rode up in a 458, F12, Speciale. The 16M was looking feisty, and the Porsche GT was nice to see.

Remember to come to the Amelia Island Concourse in 2015 where the Porsche 914 will be the "Car of Honor". Yes the 914. This was a nice limited build 914.

The Jag is one of the most beautiful creatures in any yard. Enzo did say it was the most beautiful car ever made, but they left out the part where he said at the end "...but I would take a Dino in fly yellow any day."

But don't discount the Porsche 959. Still one of the best buys at the under $1 Million. This is and was a supercar. If you have the cash put one back, and we will laugh in a few years when they are pushing $2.9 Million.

How many of you saw this Ferrari, it had the most beautiful inside, dark brown. It made you want to lick the backrest. I was thinking of buying a 599 as the prices slide down to where us regular can get one. But started talking with Steve about the California, and I have to say one has been in the back of my mind. But hard to give up the V12. I have yet to drive the California, that may change my mind. Not sure. But, I did like this inside. Would I miss the 3 pedal of the 550. Only time will tell.

Still a choice of old vs. new. I find I am still amazed with the Clutch. I know...... the F1 shift is fun................

Great shots Adam. I have always been a Boxer fan. Did the white have blue inside.

 

This is me after 5 hours of walking around drooling at all the cars. I loved seeing the '83 Quattro. Was sad that no Lancia showed up, at least they could have put a Beta on a flatbed and brought it over.

Thanks, I looked really hard and thought it was a deep blue, which back then could have been. Maybe the owner will pipe in.
Great show, and lots of fun.

 

Ok, now someone has to tell me what won. What was the best Porsche out of the 110 or more that were there. Who took home the ferrari trophy, Bmw all the brands, what cars were the stand out cars of 2014 Eurofest.

 

Thanks Dean, came by twice to see you , but missed you both times. Are going to the nob. 8 show near Atlanta.
