2005 Detroit International Autoshow Pictures

[cornercamping]

Alright.  Here's some pictures from the first day.  I'll take more tomorrow afternoon.  All are the best my camera can take and they are all pretty big.  I haven't sorted thru them yet and labeled them.  There are also a couple bikes in the pictures that some manufacturers either had custom made for the show, or were concept design bikes.  If you have any questions on which cars are what, let me know and I'll see if I know what it is.  I took as many pictures as I could of each vehicle, and there is even a couple of pictures of me sitting in a Lamborghini Murcielago  :D   The only cars they wouldn't let us fondle were the Maybach's.   :(  Other than that, I pretty much fondeled them all  ;D  This is from the Industry Preview Day's so the public hasn't seen the show yet.  Ya gotta be a supplier or have credentials to get into the show.  Public show opens on Saturday of this week.  Let me know if you guys want pictures of anything specific.  Feel free to download pictures at will.  

The pictures of the orange sportbike is a complete bastard bike of a GSXR1000 and like 3 others.  I talked to the engineer for a while about it.

I'll bill you for a new keyboard ... drooled all over mine ...

Can you say 'SLR' ? WOW! Thx for spending so much time at the MB and BMW booths.

Great display of pix - a little slow, but the display was cool.

Gang night will be Saturday - will you stick around for it? Was always an interesting experience. Ask me if you care to hear.

Thx again for the pix.

PS - Wah Court on Wyandott across the river in Windsor - the best authentic Chinese you'll ever eat in your life. Tell Rose I sent you!

So, I take it you missed gang night at the NAIAS? Was always an interesting experience. Ask me if you care to hear.

Note to all....

If you click on the first picture, it will pop up a new window and it will enlarge the picture, then you can play a slide show of all pcitures with the little arrows on the pop up.  Then, if you click on the picture again, it get's even bigger.  The pictures are high enough resolution where they make great desktops.  Now if I can just figure out how to get the date off the damn pictures  >:(   I used the lambo motor as my new desktop and it came out awesome.   :D

Lemme guesss... you were there for one of the shoot outs?  LOL....   that's why I only go on the industry day's.  No public = no hassles.  The place was pretty much empty.  It's so big, a few thousand people doesn't seem like much.  I don't do the public days for a reason.  Plus, on public days you can't sit in Lambo's and such.  I haven't put all those pictures up.  My wife took a picture of me in the Roll's Phantom and I even had a driver in the front seat wearing a tux.  :D ;D

Ouch.. tomorrow is the last industry day.  Friday is Charity day, and I can't help you on that one.  Saturday is open public.

If you can make tomorrow, I can get you in....  Charity day passes are $400 cause of the black tie stuff afterwards.  Can't help you other than industry passes.
