    RMK - How dare you not get pictures of the CGT!

    Does anyone know anything about the SA that hit the ditch in the SW? Hope the owner is ok...

    Doubt he was there that late. He got a photo of the Enzo pulling in, which was one of the first cars to arrive.

    I took 800 photos, so now I've gotta comb through them and find the best ones. I'll post a few later.

    I was also right by the Enzo and the CGT when they started them up. I've got some video of it, but the audio quality isn't good. Ah well; you'll get the idea.

    Forgive my ignorance, but Prancing 12... SA? OH! SuperAmerica. I figured it out as I was writing this. Wow.

    That Exotic Car display just made my day especially after a week full of exams my last one being yesterday, on the way home I saw the red Novitec F430 with the black stripes get pulled over on McLeod.
    Just like NHeerDesign I took many photos and will have to sort through them.

    "What seems to be the problem officer? Speeding? Couldn't help it."

    My favourite thing about these gatherings is that it seperates the people who think they know everything from the real enthusiasts. Some guy pointed to the Novitec F430 and exclaimed "Woah! Nice Mustang!" Some other guy was loudly talking to his friend, pretending to be the expert on all things exotica, and proclaimed that "there are only half of the exotics in Calgary here. There's another red Enzo missing and a Veyron."

    Spoke with the owner, he is fine. Wish i could say the same for the car, just some minor damage.

    Alright. I've uploaded 26 of my favourites from last night to Fli.ckr. Here's the link to the album. I didn't Photoshop any of the images, though come to think of it, some of them are deserving of editing. Hope you like them.

    EDIT: Apparently, "fli.ckr" is a bad, bad word.

    Winnipeg has 2 LP640 roadsters, one orange one yellow, they are the only modern lambo's there. The '03 murci was traded for ford GT....and no... barely any exotics there...a porsche boxter is a rare sighting in that city. But as an aside, the White LP640 coming to Calgary is a roadster.

    I think that is incorrect...I could be wrong...but what I was told (from a very reliable source) is that the 1 yellow and one orange gallardo spyders (the only ones in winnipeg last year) were both traded in for those Lp640 roadsters in the same respective colours by the owners.

    unless there are new g-spyders there (which there could be) otherwise the only modern lambo's there are the two LP's.

    and I know there is a 'new to winnipeg red 360 modena spider'....but no 430's yet..but it is still early in the summer.

    The exotic spotters should stick to Calgary, Vancouver, T.O. and Montreal.

    Winnipeg is known for it's muscle cars and classic american cars...if you're into that.....winnipeg is teeming with 'em.

    The 2 Orange G-Spyders that were apparently in Winnipeg were there last year, both were owned by some guys in an online medical business. But i'm not 100% sure about that.

    Life partners... hahaha.

    Yep, that is our apartment off 17th. Been a ton of action down there the past few days. The car and girl spottings make up for the constant noise, garbage and mysterious odors.

    Spot: yellow 348 TB on Macleod + Glenmore. That car is still sex on wheels after all these years.

    Some people would hate those stripes and some would agree with them.
    Both are right, because everyone has an opinion.
