Car Shows, Trade Shows and EventsHave you been to a detailing trade show, seminar, or car show recently? Have some cool pictures of the event? Tell us about it and share your pictures here.
My day at the Ferrari Club's 6th Annual "Ferrari's on the Circle" event-
There were A LOT of incredible cars there!
It was very crowded, and a bit difficult to get pics without people getting in the way, especially when you are dealing with drool (mine and my dogs )
Didn't stay to see which ones got the trophies but they were all winners to me.
This is a tour group that uses these things to tour St.Armand's Circle
Lost count of how many were in the show, they were everywhere!
This one was my favorite, A Saleen S7!
Here was the best detailed Ferrari in the show
Check out the young Ferrari lover at the bottom
There were quite a few non-Ferrari's there as well
You can see me and my new Retriever in the reflection. This one looks black in the pics, but it was actually a deep metallic brown.
My daughter got in the way in this one, don't hate her because she's beautiful
Here is the best detailed non-Ferrari in the show
This one is a Jaguar and a dirty one at that. They didn't even bother to wash it for the show!
It was a beautiful day and I wish you all could have been here. I already put Charles in a bad mood when I told him where I was going yesterday.
I hope this doesn't depress all you guys suffering with bad weather right now. Florida has it's negative's just like every where else.

I hope others will make use of it as well.

Had trouble deciding where to post these pics. Since the concept cars forum wasn't getting much use, I changed it to a Car Show forum. I hope it gets used as well.

It's the twin turbo model. Thanks for the extra pictures! I'm in awe of that vehicle. I've seen my fair share of exotic vehicles, but I've never seen a Saleen. If I ever won a lottery, that would be my first purchase.

One of my good friends had a chance to spend an hour talking to Steve Saleen a while back. My friend has a Ford GT with some of Saleen's after market parts on it. The conversation turned to Steve what do you drive? He answered by saying the same thing you do a Ford GT. My friend asked him why not an S7? He somewhat jokingly responded I can't afford one those.
Troy, you do know that the S7 isn't Ferrari? It is a 427 Ford powered super car.

I think the only thing he did to qualify for this privilege was to spend a few thousand dollars to purchase Saleen's parts. My friends has both a Ford GT and Saleen Speedster. He said he talked with him for about an hour and wasn't made to feel as if anything was more important than the conversation at hand. He said Steve is a very personable guy and recognized him the next time he called.

I knew that the Saleen was Ford, which threw me considering it was smack dab in the middle of all the Ferrari's in a Ferrari show. I'm a dummy when it comes to exotics. I figured it was some sort of Ferrari-Saleen hybrid.

Saleen Inc. is their own company and have been producing street vehicles since 1984, only one year after being in business. Along with their own line of vehicles, Saleen Inc. produces a lot of performance parts for various manufacturers. Ford contracted Saleen Inc. to produce parts for several different models as well as being one of the key suppliers to the Ford GT. So while most of the vehicles they work on and improve are Fords, the S7 has no ties to Ford whatsoever.
For the record, I actually knew most of this, but google helped a bit with the exact year of their first production vehicle(I knew it was mid 80's).
