It’s been about 2.5 months since I last shot a car show. I never knew how much I love doing it until I couldn’t do it anymore. But we’re back, the cars were out in full effect and I definitely went on a Euro binge this go around. There were some gorgeous cars there, a silver DeTomaso Pantera, A yellow Lancia Delta Integrale and the cover car, the GTV6. It would have been the Delta, but I’ve featured one in the past, and the GTV6 is definitely also on that alltime favorite car list.

I went heavy on the vlog section, so the description will take you right to the action!

The cool thing about this show was there were a couple of people there from Mexico. I came face to face with a Seat Leon, and it has been a while since I had seen a car donning the badge.

I am glad we’re back in the game. The car community is STRONG! I even have a car review planned. Probably have to push it though... Because I managed to burn my lip whilst editing this video, and it hasn’t healed over yet. I guess you can’t have everything...

I subscribed and liked! You sure picked my faves. I love vehicle fandom but the average car payment 4-500 puts you into any domestic muscle these days as well as your 2 or 3 series bimmers. Of course the big$ porsches and lambos just show how big a wallet is. I always dig the old or obscure myself, but glad to see a nice crowd of car fandom overall!

Whenever I walk onto a car show I try to have an idea of what to shoot. But usually the first car that catches my eye dictates the rest of the video. At times I have to “force” some supercars in there. This was definitely one of those videos. There are others where I completely ignore supercars and then I get comments like “Where are the exotics?”

To me the old cars will always win. If you give me a choice to shoot classics or supercars / hypercars I will always pick the classics. They just have soul, something a newer car just does not posses (yet).

And then there is the fact I have driven and reviewed a lot of enthusiast cars including one of my dream classics, a 69 Mach 1 . S upercars? Never driven one . The closest I have gotten was a 911 Carr e ra S and a R35 GTR . They look nice, sound nice, but I have never had the experience. So I can’t be truly exited for them if that makes any sense.

I sell Lexus and avg new car over 50 grand, we always have euro or muscle used in the 30k range from trades. Me I hate big spending on cars, and prefer just having the ones less seen. Opel GT, Alfa GTV6, GTV2000, Milano, SAAB 9000, fiat 850(languishes in garage ), Volvo 850, 06 Hyundai Azera, 08 Lexus GS AWD. Im too cheap for a big payment, and my boring choices on this list are at least not often seen

Great job, i also prefer the cars with soul that have an history and are unique not (only) because its expensive .

Don’t know if its a thing but on some of the unusual builds, if the owner is around you could ask him about the history of the car and/or what makes it special to him and talk about it a few seconds on the video .
