    No way, you killed those pics! Love that shot from above. Good to know who you are for the next events, I remember see you snapping away.

    I thought the MC12 was tame when he fired it up, but when he revved it, it had a huge growl. Complete 180 from an Enzo in terms of looks and thought it was just so classy. Definitely a car you could never get bored of looking at it and checking out all the cool details. Really hope to see it out again!

    Is the MC12 not registerable in Canada?

    I was standing beside the owner and the salesman speaking to a few members of the crowd about that, and I can't remember exactly what they were saying. It's a Euro car, and it isn't street legal here, that much I do know.

    EDIT: OK... I can't edit my first post. Fli.ckr is apparently blocked (?), so here's a working link.

    You should have heard it going down the street. The rumble was loud. Really, really loud.

    Thank you rmk! If you're using the same camera (Olympus... something-or-other), I'll say hi.

    I took a short video of the revving (with my digital camera = poor quality video). YouTube Link.

    Damn, Sheldon. Those shots of the cars leaving (under the sparkling lights) look amazing! I should have stuck around until the end.

    The MC12 is soooooo much more attractive than the Enzo.

    MC12 and Enzo share the same chassis and engine.

    IMO, Enzo looks better and more stylish. I've seen one MC12 in real life and didn't really like it; too big, esp in front.

    I love it in black. It'd be interesting to see a flat black, or all white.

    The start/ends aren't events where people can come watch, unfortunately. They leave very early in the morning anyway.
