Just can't get enuff!
Is that a Carrera GT in the background?
Yes... love that car! Pure analog for an exotic car. I don't see much of them around... especially even driven.

BallHabour had a car show ? dam that's not to far from me...just across Biscayne.
Yes the annual Collector's Weekend show... sponsored by Prestige Imports and Lou Lavie (We Are Curated). I couldn't attend Sat but was there Sun.

It was amazing to see a large variety of supercars and sportscars from past to present... even ones many of us used to play on our consoles or PCs! :thumbsup:

Maserati MC-12... 1 of 50 made and this one is regularly driven! Puts GT350R garage ornaments to shame..... :D

Al, even after ~50 years of being an automotive enthusiast I have never been a big Porsche fan as really not had too much exposure to them but have driven Boxsters and Caymans in recent years and thought that they were cool cars but nothing I had to have.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to drive a 2017 911 Carrera GTS and I was very impressed with the overall performance of the car especially for only being a 3.0 liter engine.

What a great piece of automotive machinery!

Had the Carrera GTS out for about an hour and just had a blast and can only imagine the performance of a NA GT3 which I believe weighs a little less and comes with another 50 HP more than the Carrera GTS therefore must be even more impressive.

Have driven PDK's in past years but never seemed as good as this last weekend. I assume that some changes have been made or maybe it was just me this last weekend?

Also drove a Macan GTS and if I had let my wife drive that impressive vehicle I am sure we would be going home with it.

After this past weekend I could become a Porsche owner/enthusiast very easlier.

Congrats on your outstanding GT3!

:cheers:

Thanks, Harry! The GTS (in whatever model) is IMHO Porsche's sweet spot for the perfect or near-perfect sports car, even in the Macan. It would be the ideal choice really... not all-out like the GT3 cars and nowhere close to a base model neither. At the show yesterday, I met another enthusiast who also loves (and owns) Porsches and Fords together... a win-win!

And yes... the new gen of Porsche PDKs, especially the Motorsport-tuned ones like in the GT3 are simply amazing and lightning fast.

:cheers:

Did 2 back-to-back shows yesterday... fun day hanging out and grillin' food with good friends.

At Homestead Miami Speedway for the Ford 400 events in the morning... met Tony Stewart, Vaughn Gittin Jr., Jack Roush and Mr. Edsel Ford again. Had all 4 sign my strut bar and Mr. Ford on my dash...

Stopped by to see some buddies at a local autox spot near me this past Sunday... I already had plans that afternoon so I didn't bother signing up but was able to take some pics earlier in the morning.
