Default Re: 2013 Euro Auto Festival - OCT 18-20

Well, the 2013 Euro Auto Festival is over. Car show was a big success, even though the weather tried nearly all day to be uncooperative. Overcast all day and we had some light rain early in the day. But everyone attending had a great time and the cars were absolutely amazing to see up close.

Featured marque this year was Ferrari and 45 of these Italian exotics were on the showfield. Really something to see all that Italian flare "up close & personal". A total of 413 cars ended up attending the event, which was slightly over the limit of 400 that the event committee established. But the good thing was that the show was completely filled with pre-registered cars. That enabled the event committee to map out the showfield ahead of time by specifying a parking spot for every car within the respective marque. The bad thing was that if you didn't pre-register your car, you didn't get to show your car. Quite a few folks were turned away at the gate unable to register their car when they drove up this morning.

We had 7 XFires on the showfield - 4 SRT's and 3 NA's. The Euro Event Committe was pleased that we increased our numbers from last year's show. As is typical, we had a great time together at the event talking about our cars. And we answered quite a few inquiries as to why our Chryslers were allowed in the event. Still a lot of folks out there that don't know and/or remember these cars during the ties betweem M-B & Chrysler.

Anyway, I'll post pictures later this weekend. In the meantime, below are the XFire winners at this year's Euro AutoFest.

1st Place - 2007 Machine Gray Limited Coupe (still the best looking color) / Dennis Edwards
2nd Place - 2008 Inferno Red Limited Coupe / Joanna Webster
3rd Place & "Peoples Choice" - 2005 SSB SRT-6 Coupe / Jim Robertson
