Default "Toys for Tots" car show snaps.....

This was a fantastic event for a great cause. The turnout was amazing, with many, many Rennlisters showing up in support.

Well done to Dusty, the chap in the first pic, for doing everything possible to give us a venue that will better OC's Crystal Cove Classic Car Meets here in the LA area. Great work, great cause, great day out!

Here is a bunch of snaps for this morning, many of these are cars you'll know, but the long low red V16 twin Turbo Cizetta (?) is something I'd never seen in the flesh before. It sounded incredible, almost like a military jet, and as you can see by the crowd it pulled while it's owner reved it up, everyone was very appreciative!

Default second batch......

The first shot shows just how fantastic the generosity was, the second shot shows the mountain of toys, which was still two hours from complete when this shot was taken!

GAWWWD, I miss LA. Warm weather car shows only a fond memory now in Chi town.

The Cizeta Moroder is very cool and sooo 80's! Lamborghini looks.

I think all previous records for amount of toys donated at a single Toys 4 Tots was broken with ~1700. All the toys could not even fit into the huge military transport. Well done Dusty, great event!

Andrew, looks like I missed you this morning at VCR, thanks for the photos. I just checked out your website and am quite impressed, looks like not only are you a success in what you do, you are a success in life since you seem to really enjoy it.
I'd compliment you on your work, but by now, I'm sure you know. Did you happen to catch the holy bible in the passenger seat of the enzo?
I should have advertised my business to all the ricer tegs and civics there. Next time.

Macfly, you are so correct!!! That is why I am trying to start a second career in Porsche photography. Looking to market my "werks" in a variety of applications after I am finished completing my portfolio.

I just looked at your web site and love your shots... very, very nice indeed.
