And lots of stuff showed up!
Actual colour a tad darker - not quite Rosso Corsa, but a beautiful shade of dark red metallic. Almost like McLaren’s Mercury Red.
Three yellow cars just happened to line up.
In case you missed it, alternating red and white cars to represent the Canadian Flag.
Owner was a 10/10 guy. Good sense of humour. Took delivery 2 months ago, already done a track day at Mosport and due for new tires.
64 Shelby, and a convincing one at that if it’s a kit.
How many RSs? These two in convoy followed by a Nismo GTR.
SCRAPE.
Glad to see one of the cleaner R33s show up. Unsure if new owner, but definitely seen the car before (2014, 2015).
Edit #1: someone asked for a pic of the ‘55 Chevy, so adding it here as well.
Edit #2: somebody wanted more muscle.
As Stephen pointed out, the Toronto oppos really should get together and organize something so we don’t end up missing out at every event. Maybe we’re just bad at this LOL.
And since everyone is busy celebrating American independence this weekend, remember that Canada Day was also a thing.

Darn. :( There was so much stuff showing up and leaving, it was hard to catch everything. The LaF showed up at 8:30, left at 8:50; the Aventador SV at 9:50.

Shelby was likely a Superformance. Looks just like their “kits.” Some owners are just proud to have something like it, others get all butthurt when you ask them if it’s a Superformance/Back Draft (the only two licensed manufacturers for the Shelby cars). FFR is very clear about making kit cars and name them appropriately to avoid any specific relation to Shelby, they get annual lawsuits from Shelby about it, and win each year.

I think that LaFerrari is painted in Rosso Fuoco.

Ah, good to know. Still unsure about it and didn’t get a chance to ask the owner but it was nice to see this regardless and not just another sea of Cobra replicas (of which there were no less than 6 present, though the shop does have a genuine AC Cobra in storage).
Thanks!

Neat, thanks! It’s a beautiful colour in the sunlight and the only one I’ve seen in Toronto in this colour (I know there are 4 Rosso Corsa ones, and 1 in Giallo Modena).

I was there today too, but my photos usually end up mediocre at best. I’m out of town for a while so I won’t be able to get to almost anything this summer, but if some group was put together, I’d be down once I return.

I have a picture of about 30 people crowded around the Aventador.

Why are none of the pictures classics? Only love modern cars?

Is the one picture of a ‘55 Chevy not good enough for you, sir or madam?
But really, I just haven’t gotten around to the 600+ other photos yet. There were maybe a total of 9 classic muscle cars (and 2 Minis) there, with stuff made after 1990 outnumbering them 7:1.
Fine, I cave. Here’s a Camaro.

You should have seen the crowd around the LaFerrari! I had to run there to make sure I was early enough to get some clear shots.
This is probably 1/2 of what the crowd ended up being. It was a very quick snap, because there was still loads of stuff I hadn’t gotten to in the lot yet.
I’m just happy I didn’t get rained on for the third month in a row.

There were way more than 9 classics there. There were almost 9 cobras, although not really a classic since they were all kits built within the last 20 years. Mostly modern cars though.
I found the Camaro to be a bit juvenile. The chrome rims, the tachy rear lights, the stance.
Sorry, I don’t mean to complain. Your photos are very professional.
To be fair, my amateur photos were the opposite- mostly classics with almost no modern cars (My ‘72 Electra, 77 Monte Carlo, ‘68 Charger, ‘71 Riviera, ’73 Datsun 510, ‘64 Corvette to name a few)

Haha just poking fun :P The other red Z28 there, I actually preferred more than the above. The Datsun(s) are probably my favourite of the bunch. That reminds me, I completely missed the C1 that rolled in at the end. He showed up to one of the events last year as well, I’m pretty sure.

Cool. Forgot about the super clean ‘69 Firebird! Nice pic of my car. The gold/brown shines sweet.

It’s the only ‘71 or ‘72 (those two years are similar, but ‘70 and ‘73 are very noticeably different) I have seen in the last 5 years. And I’ve seen thousands of classic cars in the last 5 years. If you can find someone else that has a road legal working ‘71 or ‘72 Electra in the GTA, please let me know.

Damn, I saw you pulling the Electra out of the parking spot to leave.

Definitely a bigger crowd around the LaFerrari.

Great pictures! R33 GT-R still has the same owner (me). Someone stole my “IMPORTER” license plate though :(

Thanks! Sorry to hear about the plate. :( rest of the car looks good though!
I still remember spotting it during Skymeet East a few years ago. Very distinctive nurburgring sticker on the back haha.
