The Volvo Ocean Race is stopping over in Auckland for the next 2 weeks, after which they will take the sea to join Brasil. Saw some good stuff, like this sweet replica of team SCA ship made entirely out of LEGOs. I also experienced the Self Parking feature of a Volvo V60, and "crashed" the car in the process. I thought these things would break on their own, but apparently not... I would have loved to try the XC90 T8 they had on display, but not possible. And they had the always gorgeous XC Coupé Concept on display too. No SR20 of the cars, sorry guys. Back to the LEGO boat after the jump, and some other stuff from the late race arrival in Auckland Harbour too.

At least this time I'm spamming you guys with pictures that are somewhat related to cars. For once.

beautiful pictures. That bokeh is very pretty. The Lego boat is very cool.
I like the black in the panorama. It looks neat. That's a big boat.
I've always liked the boats they've used in the long distance racing. They're very refined. Reminds me of high tech race cars.

Oh man, I should probably go down and see the XC Coupe, hopefully it'll still be there on Monday. Thank God for 4 hour gaps!
Did you go see the Lantern Festival in Albert Park?

Went through it real quick yesterday evening, before going down to Silo Park to watch the movie (and get beers). Apparently on sunday evening they have a firework, so maybe I'll find my way there then.
As for the XC coupé, I think it's a permanent thing for the next 2 weeks, so you shouldn't have any problems. They have a couple cars exposed outside as well (XC60, V60 Cross Country and S60), and a truck too. You can even play with some construction equipment either on a simulator or for real ^^ You'll find them right next to the Viaduct center, you can't really miss the Volvo Pavillon anyway.

This is the pretty much LeMans of the boat world. And the recent America's Cup is the F1 (where everything is cool but never seems to trickle down to the masses).

Nice stuff man. Hope you're liking the lens. VOR seems like a good time. They were a client of my previous employee, I got to watch it for hours on end. Very cool.
