Default Exotics at Redmond Town Center

Most every Saturday this time of year Redmond Town Center hosts a casual car show, actually just a lot of nice cars getting together. http://www.exoticsat.com Barely a mile from home its fun dropping in. I was a little disappointed today though to find only one 991 on display! I know just from RL alone there are several fine examples, even in just the local area. For the guys around here who may not know, Porsche will be the featured marque coming up in August. They don't always have a featured marque but when they do they tend to attract a LOT of really interesting cars! Last year there were around 100 Porsches, and that was with competition from PCA DE and autocross events being held the same day. Anyway, fyi. (I don't think Turbo GT is an official model. But with 550 hp at the wheel, I'm gonna take Alex's word for it!)

Cool, I had no idea this was actually an organized/sponsored event.

Its definitely organized. They direct you in to sections for Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Jaguar and other British marques, etc. There's always a few real antiques, a race car or two, just an eclectic and ever changing assortment. Probably the Mall supports the event for the traffic it draws, or maybe the guys putting out the cones and helping everyone park are volunteers. I don't know.

I'm looking forward to August 2nd. The last time Porsche was featured some very interesting cars showed up. By then hopefully there'll be some 991 GT3's back and showing again.

Yeah, I think they call that "marketing"

"Exotics" are to me kind of like Pimp My Ride, Chip Foose on a bigger budget. Next time I'll try to remember to snap some pics from the Vegas section.

If you like eye candy, I'll get some pics next time of the Lamborghini's all parked together. Candy store colors- metallic candy, that is...

I love that red color on the first one. Looks like ruby red.

Last year, on Porsche Day, I took my '13 991S X51 Cab down (from Vancouver, BC) and got to enjoy the drive down and back and a great show of Porsches. My plan is to take it down again this Saturday.

Shoot.

Was in Bellevue/Cylde Hill just last weekend and missed this.

That's what I get for not calling my buddy nearby and telling him I was in town. He would have told me about it.

At least I didn't miss the bears at the Woodland Park Zoo. :/

What a bummer.

This is funny, but true. Just visit Rodeo Dr or go to a car wash in Newport Beach and you will see all kinds of Ferrari', Lambos, Porsches, etc.
