Heyas!

I'm back home from the skiing vacation again, it was not so much snow there so we decided to drive home one day earlier. And so we were able to get to Vienna Luxus Motor Show 2007 today. *teehee*

It was smaller than last year (there was just the "normal" Auto Show in 06 and not a Luxus Motor Show like it was this time) but none the less TRÉS PHAT... XD

We have made tons of photos, here are just the ones I made.
(Ignore that that damn folder is called 2006 XD Photobucket did not like me today at all... the photos are not in the uber quality because I used our old digi cam and not the newer one, when I was overworking all the photos I found out that we allready made over 10,000 photos with that cam...)
If you want to see any pic there bigger just tell me I have them all in hi res and bigger format also.

The hall:

Not that pretty but filled with shiny cars... XD

Nice...I wish I'd see some of those cars here in Bahrain.(Although I did manage to catch a Gallardo parked outside a restaurant once)

And what is it with racing teams always using ugly/boring colors for the MC12?

It seems that the people are richer in Vienna or so, or I'm just crazy but we parked just next to a Bentley in the parking garage, you also saw lots of Porsches and even Ferraris driving around and parking. *huh* am I doing anything wrong ey? I want a Ferrari too... XD

I would have liked to see the MC12 in it's typical blue and white design but it seems that they only got that racing-thingie there for the show.

Neat pictures. Lots of shiny, good-looking models.

Looks to me like they got both a modern-day Ford GT (Pic #01) there and a actual (or replica) GT40 (Pic #02). The biggest differences are the sideview mirrors, the depressions in the hood, and the headlights.

The Gallardo looks so furturistic from the outside. And my friends at school wonder why I like Lamborghini so.

okay... the "Maserati" in the last set of those isn't. it's a Spyker. They're Dutch.
That Bentley... I'm pretty sure they can still be hanged for that.
Custom3 MIGHT be an Ascari
SpeedB... ooh. Vanquish S look.
who said the spirit of extacy's called Emily?
that last pic shoulda come with a whealth warning. (the car probably has one warning about the paint being bright... it has one for everything else.

Great photos though. that Charger's the same colour as Richard Hammond's

Oh my... *stupid* my mistake, it even says Spyker there... just ignore the filename then. XD But it looks familiar ... at least. XD

I have not searched for any of the types there so far, I just took photos of interesting looking ones.

Eh, that Bentley rocks. XD The design gives that car somehow a completely different "image" than a typical Bentley would have.

I can't say from where I have it that they also say Emily to the "Spirit of Ecstasy" I knew both and just pick the shorter name for it. XD
But I have heard both versions, I have really no clue why it is also called Emily.

yes... but a Bentley isn't supposed to be boy-racery. it's supposed to have class, distinction and whatnot. it's supposed to look like a million pounds. not 4 grand from a bloke down the pub.

also, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_of_Ecstasy

Also... Henry Royce came from near where I live

That's right about the Bentleys. I just think it has got this "pretentious" touch to it, that gets a bit lost with that design. But this gives him a young and fresh look. Well I would just take both a standard black version and this one. XD XD

Oh and yes they had got the two versions of the Ford GT, Orca.
I really like the Gallardo, normally I'm not a big fan of such futuristic shapes but they did just a great job on it's design there.

That "racery" paintjob doesn't look too bad on the Bentley, but that's only because the car already looks roadster-ish. If it was a four-door sedan or something, it would look horrible.

And yeah, Lamborghini's flat blade-like cars have always looked nice.
