i went on saterday.. a bit disappointed, because most of the cars they were showing were the same ones from last year.. there were a few new cars..

compared to last years show.. these pictures suck. 1. there were just too many stupid people who gave photographers and just people with cameras no respect when trying to take a picture.. 2. i have this Kodac camera that is such a pain in the ass to use.. i'd say 20% of all the pictures i took came out blurry, i've deleted them.

hope you like :)

PLEASE try to keep this link within the community, i don't want my bandwidth jacked up. thanks.

i was there too, it was a little disappointing, but the tuner cars at kenita hall kicked ass. They had a polynesian ford there with a hottub in the back. Also, I would never drive one of those hydrogen cars, because if you bump anything, even slighly, the hydrogen will most likely explode, that's the reason why the car is so big anyway, its mostly a giant steel wall between the fuel cell and the driver.

you don't know how bad i wanted to take pictures in the Kentia Hall. :no: most pics came out too blurry or just too many damn people crowding.

and the hydrogen car.. WTF? i've seen a 7 series powered by Hydrogen.. if it could explode like the way you described.. they better do something about that.

trust me you didn't miss much.. even Toyota's and Mitsubishi's new cocept trucks were crap.

i saw the new Honda Ridgeline up close and it was pretty cool.. i was impressed by Honda.

Now, there were two things that did get my attention.. two new cars i've never heard of. Spyker and Venturi. Did you see those? They were in the same room as the Ferrari and Bently

yeah, they were really nice. that was the first time i've heard those names too.

/edit

your pics came out pretty good. lighting in those halls is a bitch, and unless you are really paying attention, it can be tricky. plus all the glass and reflections make it hell for your AF.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
