Amelia Island views

If you are a car guy it's the place to be. I didn't pony up for the tix for a number of reasons but I was surprised to see some really nice (and terribly expensive) cars driving around.

A few quick happenstance shots of moving targets. Forgive the quality.

There was a guy driving a RHD GT-40 MKiii around, more Ferarris, top of range Jags, Bentleys, a few McClarens, more Porsche's that you could count and a whole bunch of old classics like Packards and such. It also seems that anyone who has a somewhat hot car or anything for sale was out and about in force.

And the most expensive thing I saw all weekend:

Well, a few more cars...

SLS

Nice photos @ChuckC
Lots of car shows in my area of Florida too but never ever did I submarine in the Largo-Clearwater area.

Chuck,

a rolling car show is pretty cool...
seems like you found a sweet spot to capture your images...

we have "cruzin the coast" up here every October...
the cars cruzin the beach is fun to watch.
ocean springs and bay st Louis close all of downtown for 3 days so the cruzers can park their cars for display and also allow those whom don't want to park to travel up the middle of the parked cars....
incredible sight....

this shot will give you an idea...

Love the sub! And the Benzie. Well, all of 'em actually. I like that area. Looks like you guys had a fun weekend.

They ended up heading to the historic district to allow the public to ogle the wares whilst the owners dined. We had company arriving that afternoon and had to get home so I could only grab those shots I did. I got some not great photos of some outstanding and terrrribly expensive Ferrari's as well. I don't think I could ever relax if I had one of them out in public.

I learned a bit about their route and can plan to be in a far better position next time they are in town.

The economy Ferrari, the Dino.


275GTS I believe.


365 Daytona coupe.

Ok...the cars are cool and there seems to always be a show going on in my town every weekend.

The best photo is that of the SUB!

Chuckc

I've shot the subs many times as I spend a fair amount of time up there. My hope is to capture a sub with one or more of the wild horses on Cumberland Island in the background. There were horses on the beach that day but I couldn't get in position in time to get the shot I wanted.

Chuck, thanks for the great pictures from Amelia Island.

I don't know if you guys know the SVRA schedule, but they were at Sebring first weekend in March along with the reincarnated Trans-Am Series. A lot of those cars were at the track as well as some very nice Vintage race cars.

Great access to all the cars and just a darn good time. I might have some pictures.

I like the '34 Packard and the Bugatti. Nice Chuck. Thanks.

Post up any pics you might have, I would love to see them. The car owners I encountered were a friendly bunch and seemed to be having a real good time.
