Image Unavailable, Please Login Oh yeah!
Typically a heavy Pagani/Ferrari presence + lots of other exotic eye candy... Going w my daughter this year...prob my 3rd/4th? in a row.
Parking can be challenging, but valet is available.
Yup, free. Search this section...lots of posts about it.

Planning on going. How bad is the "challenging" parking situation--can you find if you're ready to walk a few blocks? Is valet service in the immediate area of the concours?
Thanks.

 

Yes to both.
Valet was on the south side of the blocked off streets, immediately across the street.
Enjoy.

 

Thank you for that—much appreciated!

 

There are four parking garages on site within walking distance to show central.

Parking totally manageable, thanks all for the help.

Not so manageable was seeing all the Paganis, Mansory 812, and the like, LOL, but very nice event and some very nice cars.

In no particular order… and, yes, I’m partial to ‘70s and ‘80s cars …

We just got back too.

Very expensive looking cars and lots of very expensive looking women.

 

The worst travesty was someone modifying a 300sl gull wing to look like a pimp mobile.

 

You can rent them!

 

in Miami: both the cars and the women.

 

I'm pretty sure they--there were 2 of them, IIRC--were built on some modern platform and were not molested, original 300s. I didn't bother to even confirm this up close because 1/ they looked so bad from far that I was sure they were fakes and 2/ the sight of these and that horrid Testa Rossa monstrosity were hurting my eyes.

In my opinion, the Paganis, in general, and especially the gold long-tail aberration--with '50s Buck Rogers-style design features--gave those S-Klub cars a good run for their money in terms of ostentatious tackiness.

 

the Ferrari was disgusting too.

 

It was a good place to visit after the boat show, where I surprised my girl with a bareboat catamaran sailing charter. Lots of fine cars, that gold Pagani Raduno was eye popping and quite a departure from the Huayra. I'm glad there were quite a few older Ferraris, my favorite was the yellow Testarossa.
