Concorso d' Italia

somebody monkeyed with that car in the past...looks like an open and closed case?

I did not participate in the stogie smoking myself!

She is our merchandise girl.

 

This car did a couple of laps around our dealership the Wednesday prior to the Concours, at our party. If you have never heard one of these cars, you are missing out on the equivalent of audio heaven!

 

Better yet you need to hear one go all the way down the front straight at Road America.

 

My wife and I went all the way down Orchard Lake Road in search of an I-Hop...never found one (great hangover food), then went through the parking lot at Cauley as always. Great looking dealership, especially compared to some others I've been through.

 

Hello, full coverage can be found here, with a 75 shot slideshow of Concorso d'Italia and a 100 shot slideshow of the Meadow Brook Concours:

Jerry , the next time you need an i-hop fix ,ask and i'll give you directions !There is one on Woodward and one on Telegraph,in the northern burbs.

 

There you go w/ the early morning post again John...LOL...you give me inspiration to get an early start myself, kudos!! Let me know if you get to this side of the state and maybe we can get together. Grand Haven Coast Guard fest is going on right now....lots of food, fun and hot women!!

 

i am just wondering, do you have a sony f717. i think i was standing by you for when they gave out the trophies at Concorso d'Italia i had on the red ferrari shirt and also had a sony f717. i am still waiting for my feature to be up on fast-autos

Damn, this I-Hop talk is getting me hungry for some cream cheese french toast!

 

So Concorso d'Italia is around the corner again. Who's goin? any word on what will be there yet?

***************.com will be there again and we're willing to take private photo shoots for use on our site, and high-res copies for you at no cost.

to 'mr2speedracer'. yeah that was me beside you at the show. had a Sony F717 last yr, but upgraded last december to a full Canon 20D outfit. much better suited to my style of shooting. you goin' again this year?

 

I will, of course, be going again this year. It's a great pair of shows, in a great place - and it makes a nice "primer" for the Monterey trip... Last year I was shooting with a Sony MVC-CD500, since then I have upgraded to a full Nikon D100 setup...

 

yup i will be there agian this year with my d70 covering the show for fast-autos.net

 

Be sure to introduce yourself then. you should be able to recognize me easy with my red ***************.com shirt.

So now Concorso and the Concours are taking place together on the Sunday.

That's gonna be tough to photograph now, especially if this heat continues. I was completely dead by noon at Eyes on Design last Sunday.

The PR rep has said that running both events on Sunday will allow for more organizing and setup for the Saturday night gala. I guess they had problems last year with clearing everyone out and cleaning up in time for the Saturday night festivities.

oh well, just more insanity to prime me up for Pebble.

 

i wish it would have been on two days but owell, i like how there is now a tour.

i emailed for credentials two weeks ago and have not had a email back so i think i am going to call after weekend and see whats going on.

I will be there with some friends of mine. There is a similar show the weekend prior at Cranbrook (info here). I had a great time last year. I got a ride with the owner of TubiStyle USA in his Maser, and my friend and I rolled along side a red Enzo (to the owner, thank you for sticking with us while I filmed it, if you happen to read this). I'm always up for more rides (since I seem to lack the $$$ to own an F-car) if anyone wants to spoil me .

Feel free to PM me if you wish to say hello. email me also if you wish. for any ride, I promise to email any pics or videos I shoot from the event to you.

FYI: Frank got rid of his Maserati and got a red 360 Modena. He and it will be at my show at the Muskegon Cty Airport (w/ Blue Angels) on 7/23 along w/ 2 348 Spiders, a yellow '02 360 spider a '62 GTO (recreation) several 308s, 2 TRs, 1 Lambo, a Ford GT and a Lingerfelter Vette. Make sure you come out!!

I'll try and make it. BTW, I met Frank Campanale last year at the Bay Harbor show in Northern MI last year and he told me about Meadowbrook. I hope to see him there as well. There are so many decent owners in this state. It's a great thing to see. I still need to con a ride outta someone though...

 

Looking at my schedule, depending on how much I feel like driving, I may make the Muskegon show on that Saturday, then head down to Detroit for the Cranbrook show on Sunday. The life of a car nut is never dull...
