Greenwich Concours D'Elegance 2010 - 56k Dies a Fiery Death

[Jake]

On to Day Two...

We got to the show early, around 8:40, which allowed for some good pictures before the huge crowds started to arrive. David L saw the Ferrari P4/5 and immediately started a'fappin.





Other sweet cars nearby:














The wheels that inspired Mazda's original Miata wheel design. Cool to see the O.G.'s


I love me some BMW 850Ci


Aston Martin Lagonda




They had an SLS next to the AMG tent. The special "Alubeam" silver paint is a $10k option.



















Story time again... we had chatted with the Benz Babes on Saturday about the AMG cars, and the SLS, etc. and they mentioned we should come back early Sunday AM to test-drive the AMG's again, since traffic would be lighter. Well, we came back and one of the girls was issuing wristbands - as opposed to the dude from Saturday. Dude made a point of checking IDs to make sure we were 21, which is why I didn't get to drive. Well, chick just took the licenses and didn't say anything, and gave us all driver bands.

So, I drove all three AMGs, and the Davids drove them again too. I will let them tell their own stories, but all I can say is "just C63 it" to prompt another good story The C63 is by far the most fun. The one at this event had a special, still in development performance package, which raised power from the standard 451 to an estimated 481 at the crank. It really hauled.


The SL63 AMG that we all hooned










A BMW Z8 Alpina

We headed out of town around 1:30 on Sunday... right in time, as apparently the show closed early due to massive rain. We avoided much of the rain on the drive back and didn't really hit any bad traffic either. Got back to Oakton around 6, then I swapped cars back and got back to JMU after some steak on the grill (thanks mom & dad) around 10:30.

It was a great, if fast-paced weekend. Definitely worth going if you haven't been before.
