Los Angeles Auto Show Pix

Okay . . . I know some of y'all have attended (or will soon) so let's post your pics here.

I went on Sunday but it was WAAAAY too crowded and I had the wickedest headache so I only shot a few (clickable) pics.

Here's a BMW offering . . .


Unfortunately the MINI exhibit

was kind of ho-hum.

I will be going back, following Dave's idea of taking a weekday walk of the show to avoid the massive crowds. Oh, the Bugatti Veyron is very much a crowd getter!



On a different note, I looked for Scott "The Works" at the GMC area but I was told he was . . . um . . . taking a potty break. Will try to say hello next time.

I always found it strange that the LA Auto Show and the Detroit Auto show were coincidental. I have a buddy that lights Honda/Acura for these events and he's at both. He always says how much the LA Show suffers because all the good stuff is in Detroit.

I don't think I'll be making it to the LA Auto Show this time. I'm not feeling well and it is hubby's birthday on Saturday. I hope more people will post pix so I can enjoy the show vicariously.

Likewise Scott. I hope other MINI owners get a chance to stop by and say hello to you. And thanks for the story about how you shot that owl photograph.


Clo, tell your hubby Happy Birthday from me. Mine was last week while my youngest daughter just turns 6 years old today. And we have another January B/Day NAMmer here, don't we Emily!
