Great day at the car show in Kitchener today. I was originally planning on being a spectator but ended up parking my Targa at the show. Next time I'll make sure to clean and polish it first
Similar Porsche turnout as previous years (I think) although possibly a little more variety. Some of the models I recognized were 356, 914, 944, 928 GTS, 964, 993, 996 targa, 996 TT, 997 GT3, Cayenne.

Apparently the show is already planning for next year but is considering moving to a new venue.

I enjoyed walking around the show and took a few pictures with my Blackberry. I apologize in advance if I didn't catch everyone's Porsche or I missed your model. I was assuming Will would have brought his good camera along with his yellow ducktail 997

Sorry I missed the show.
Non stop rain out here and my street is still torn up and was just a mud pit.
Who won?

Hi Wil,
Thankfully we didn't get any rain.

Unfortunately I didn't stay long enough to see who the winners are, and the web site hasn't been updated yet. Does anyone else know who the Porsche winners were?

i came kinda late so the only Porsches left were the SC a 356 and the Cayenne .

that twin turbo 850HP R8 V-10 was really something to behold though.

kgoertz

Agreed. That was my son's favourite even over the 997 GT3. He is probably the only kid that isn't impressed by Lamborghinis. But when he saw the 850hp number on that R8 his first question was whether or not it would be able to beat the 918. And his second question was whether or not I wanted to upgrade to that from my current (old) 996.

The second one was an easy answer.

theiceman

well... "wanted" is one thing ...

Well, I'm a kid at heart and I am not a Lamborghini fan. I don't understand why anyone would buy a Lambo over a Ferrari.

Any signs of the kamikaze drone this year?

kgoertz

No drones that I could see. But I didn't see any explicit warnings against flying them either which would probably be warranted given the damage last year.

Agreed on the Ferrari over a lambo. Any day of the week. Its like comparing a precision tool over a hammer. But the lambo used to be the poster every kid had in his room.

Still lots of cars on the dyno though. I only watched a few but one was a VW Passat diesel that was blowing enough black smoke from its exhaust to make everyone back away.

I was there too but had to leave early. Good show and turn out. Was it me or was every other person smoking a cigar? Lol.

kgoertz

A did notice a few cigars. Although one of them was in that tricked out Audi that had a bar in the back seat and trunk

Whats a good car show without a Cuban ?

Oh and there was blasted drone buzzing around at the PCA concours last week that made a few of us nervous

F'ing drones! Tonight heading out for dinner in my wife's brand new Mini and bang I hear an impact on the roof glass as we are heading down the street. It was a cheapy one and caused no damage but I kept it and tossed it in the garbage at the restaurant.

Ferrari are great cars but too many and too many blinded brand fans walking around in head to toe red clothing.
GOOGLE FERRARI *** IN IMAGES. THERE IS NO LAMBORGHINI EQUIVALENT FOR THESE FANS.... ITS PRETTY FUNNY

Yeah that was a A8L , my son thought it was really cool and is now scouring autotrader looking for one .. he wants to do that and take it to school .. i'm pretty sure he will get beat up
