To be honest I'm not putting much effort into selling it. How can I? After being parked all winter, I turn the key, it starts on the first try and I go for an amazing drive...poor me!
Shoot Brett you know my car's a '79 and I just HAVE to see your car. Why don't you come for the pre-meet? Pretty please
I should be coming, will be driving my own car. Bringing the girl along too. I'll bring the Go Pro again
Then you'll want to know where I'm racing at in two weeks. I'll give you a hint, it always rains there and contains the most famous corner in all of motor racing See you all tomorrow
Man, that was fun. It was awesome meeting a bunch of you and seeing some old faces! Zak, Derek, Zain, Kash, Esteban, Sadi, Mario, Fabian and a whole bunch more!!! I'll have some pics and video up as im sure some of the others will too.
Lots of Lotus, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Ford GT, NSX, Maserati and many more. Quite an amazing parking lot as it filled up. Even the Police Officer at the event was great. He went the extra mile to get the long convoy very safely onto the Queensway. Really glad that I was able to attend as an enthusiast. I've started to process and post the photos from the event. Have emailed what I have so far to Vasco at Humberview (yes, he is real). I don't know how to post photos here, Vasco said that he would post then here when he gets some free time. In the meantime, you can check the photos of this event on my site at http://ccvic.zenfolio.com. The photo gallery is called FerrariChat Humberview Exotic Car Ride June 23 2012. Will process and post more pics tonight and over the next few days. Thanks again for the fantastic morning.
Esteban - thank you for organizing a wonderful day. We had a great time. Vasco - pleasure to meet you today, excellent morning venue which was concluded by an excellent lunch. Couldnt have asked for much more today. Thanks again.
Had an amazing day today. I owe a million thanks to all the organizers for making this event possible. The cars were beautiful, the day was beautiful... IT WAS PERFECT! Also big thanks to Arthur who took me along in his flat black Subaru Impreza! The car was impressive and it had a turbo! Thank you so much everyone, it was a lovely experience! I will be posting the photos shortly so you guys can enjoy. If you want any of the pics I took let me know and I will send them to you through an email! -Nicolas Gonzalez (NGP|Photography)
Every two years the Gumball 3000 rallies thru the US and does an overnight in Toronto. It could be interesting for everyone if the Humberview Ride ocurred on the same day and got some of the Gumball 3000 Exotic autos to drop by on their way out of Toronto. Some drivers leave early but many party the night before and leave Toronto later. Toronto based Exotic owners could shares stories with the International group of Gumball participants. The wraps on the Gumball machines are incredible. After an hour of chit chat, a very long convoy of Toronto Exotics along with the Gumball Exotics would make it's way onto the QEW. The Toronto Exotics could ride along with the Gumball Exotics just past Burlington. The Gumballers would head for Detroit, while the Toronto Exotics would head for Niagara. Would be a sight to see with all those Exotics on the QEW. It might be worth considering for 2014. Anyhow, just throwing out the idea.
Some good thoughts. But after today I quickly saw how much work it is for a regular drive and I didn't even do anything! I now see what Saturn, Estaban and others have to go through to plan these things. Also, Rick where the heck were you? Also, Bob? Thought you were showing too?
Hope this link works. Enjoy the pictures!! http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.425759564125505.100593.374967019204760&type=1 Feel free to like my Facebook page for photography! Nicolas
