Default Another Car Show

This one had a special treat! Alfa Romeo has not sold a new car in the United States in more than a decade. This year, they have launched the new 8C Competizione with a price tag north of $250k. They are being sold through Ferrari dealerships, and our local dealership owner decided to bring out his personal collection in commemoration of the event.

From front to back: Enzo, F50, 288 GTO. The 1985 288 GTO supposedly has only delivery miles.

Not one, but TWO 430 Scuderia's in yellow. The only difference in them was the seat color.

That's me riding in 29 degree weather near a Nissan GTR! I was quite bundled up as you can see.

Dealership owners one-off Ferrari race car up front and a Dino next to it. The last car was a 348 race-spec car.

only the Ferrari's inside the show room (Enzo, F40, F50, 288GTO, and the 430 Scuderia in Silver) and the race-cars out front were owned by Ed (the dealership owner). He also had a few other Ferrari's outside that were his as well, but they were "run of the mill" hand made Italians.

Most of the other cars (the ones with license plates) were just exotic owners stopping by for a visit to see the new Alfa and get some free grub.

Beautiful, as usual. Your camera is my favorite camera ever! lol

Seems like I remember seeing Ferrari of Atlanta all over a bunch of 360 and 430 Challenge race cars. I mean as if they were one of the biggest 'teams' in those races.

I love how the black Scuderia looks almost disguised.

Thanks Spirit! As far as the racing teams go, I'm not 100% sure I know exactly how much they participate any more. Road Atlanta is not very far away and they didn't bring a tent out to Petit Le Mans this year. That was a surprise to everyone since they normally are very generous.

I have to agree. after living in Newport Beach and surrounding area as long as I did Lambo's and Ferrari's etc. were commonplace. The R8 is more rare, and I like it.

I'd say the R8 was more rare at first...now I must see 5 a week. I'd say without a doubt the most disappointing though is the new Nissan GTR. At the last car show, 6 showed up and parked next to each other. I am totally tired of seeing it.

You guys are lucky.. I see a lambo about once a year.. a ferrari twice a year.. I saw a viper a while ago and passed an exige on the interstate a while ago.. and that prettymuch covers ALL of the exotics I've seen.

I like how you said ONLY the cars in the showroom belonged to the owner.. lol. Yeh that dude ONLY has 6 of em.. man. Good show though man, thanks for posting it up.
