Finally we are back to something like decent weather here in SoCal !

This week was BMW week - I think that half of OC probably owns at least once BMW, so you would probably imagine that it might be a tad busy ?

understatement of the year - it was crowded out.

Due to the crowds I gave up with the static shots and decided to concentrate on the moving ones - I enjoy those more, so why not ?

Poor Don therefore had over a thousand images to choose from. Therefore this is post is even more of a bandwidth nightmare than usual...

Enjoy !

 

dunt(tm) forget to tune in next week, same time, same place.

Another great CnC, Thanks again Max

 

looks like i missed a good one. would've loved to see the 2002 turbo and alpina in person

 

My favorites for the day , the big red Chrysler Imperial station wagon and the BMW Z-8 's ,I've never seen the Z-8 before and there were 15 of them there !

 

So, you like the Z-8's, me too.

I liked your family picture on curb, just because. Glad you commented over in 'show us your face', now I can put a name with a face.

It was pretty rich event, Max did a great job with the pictures. Did you catch my statement with the first and last images?

Don

 

Ok I hate you ;p

I wish we had a car thing so well attended by such a wide variety of car types here.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

 

Another great showing. The weather looked awesome there yesterday too!

This looks like some really splashy paint job:



Thanks again Max and Don for sharing these with us. I paged through last night but didn't look at each picture individually.

Glad I saw the note about Korby's family because I would have missed the whole second set of pics....

 

Wow that's the first time I've seen the cars stacked two and three deep!

Great job with the photo's in that crowd Max-I know that's not easy.

Strange as it seems the red Imperial wagon might be the rarest car there-very few people paid the premium for the Imperial (Chryslers top line back then) wagon when the same features could be found on the Chrysler version and more families found the Dodge version fit there budget much better. Those gun sight tail lights are impossible to find now! My college advisor/mentor is an Imperial collector so I got to learn a good deal about them.

Max, even though it was BMW day I noticed a distinct Porsche sub-theme- especially air cooled 911's- how's the search going?

 

Interesting additional coverage
