Pasadena Art Center "Design For Speed" Show Pics

Went to a very cool auto show at the Pasadena, CA Art Center today. Naturally, I filled my digital camera to the brim. I've posted 72 of the nicer shots.
My advance apologies for those of you on dial-up modems...it's a lot of pictures...but some really beautiful cars. Enjoy.l

All I can say is..... WOW! Did you settle on a favorite? It's hard to pick from the photos, as I am sure the detail stands out in person. But, That slammed Gullwing is pretty righteous, and that siver Jag is sweet. I like the extreme custom lowrider on a visual take... I think that's a Caddy? I saw the one neo-Mini with the logo for Italian Job on the windshield... is that one from the movie? I understand those cars went through a real transformation. Thanks for sharing. Jim Ward

Also that old Jag (?) coupe is pretty arty deco (showing my okie sophistication). Man, what a neat show. I can see why you got these pics up so fast. What kind of camera John? I've got an older Sony Mavica that I am ready to upgrade. Suggestions?

John,
Great pix. The old Porsche's always catch my eye and it was nice to see the P1800 Volvo which has wonderful lines. My personal favorite was the Morgan since I have always been drawn to that brand and the three wheelers look like great fun.

Jim,
I am now using a Olympus C4000 which has been a top pick/best buy in its price class as reported in Computer World magazine for months. It produces fine images and is quite a feature rich 4 mega pixel camera at an attractive price.

My current fav digital camera is a Nikon Coolpix 775 (now discontinued, I believe). Since most of the digital shots I take are for websites and internet use, as opposed to making large prints, 2 megapixels is plenty of resolution. Remember more megapixels means larger photos, larger files, slower everything.
I think it's still pretty good advice to buy a digital camera made by a company whose business is cameras. That way you know you're getting a decent glass lens.
My favorite at the show? The Gull-Winged Mercedes...just awesome!

Was that an Ferrari Enzo?

Gullwings are great cars - my friend Ted Buckland still has a 1956 he bought new in 1957 at an El Paso dealership. Gotta be one of the hardest cars to get in and out of that was ever made.

Nice pictures John. It's amazing to think of all those cars in the same place at the same time... a car lovers candy store.

My advice for a digital camera is get the smallest one you can find. If it won't fit easily in your pocket, you won't take it with you everywhere you go, which means you won't use it as much as it could be used. I have had 4 different digitals over the years. My current favorite is the Canon S400. Small, light, 4mp.
