Is it just me or does there seem to be a lot more p-cars in Calgary than there was even a few years ago. Everytime I turn around, I see another one...
Recession? What recession!

Thanks again for a good show....whenever I see cars from the past, I often have to wonder if the engineers/designers who designed/created them look back and think to themselves - wtf was I thinking ??! To me, looking at the wheels on that BMW M1 or the overall design of that Countach - makes me think, Wow - bad day at the office or what? I would imagine that like anything, it would have been leading technology at the time and everything done for a purpose. But, WOW....

No problem. These events are to share the passion and the cars to everyone. I agree that some of the designs (especially the ones with body cladding or outrageous designs) can be very dating and gaudy. For example, the Gemballa designed 911's or the big scoop and wing Countach cars....but some are oh so classy and timeless. That original red Countach LP400 sans wings and buldges is so pure and simple in design. Same with that gorgeous 400GT....I love the lines. Penned with passion vs the wind tunnel of today.
Those wheels on the M1 are rather...underwhelming.
