As I’d exhausted my backlog of cars, I decided to go back to Redmond’s “Exotics” car show.  This show is on every weekend (weather permitting) and each week they have a different theme.

This weekend it was “British Car” week, so I went along to see what I could find.  I expected to see lots of Lotus and Jaguar’s (and wasn’t disappointed), but there were loads of manufactures that were conspicuous by to their absence.  For example, only one TVR (and it was it poor condition), no Triumphs (couldn’t believe that), not one Spitfire or Stag (my favorite) and only two MGs and no MGBGT – a wonderful car.

So it was a little disappointing and if I see one more Lamborghini at these shows I’ll scream – sorry James, I know you love them.  Having said all this there were some beautiful cars there and I got some nice pictures.

Despite the British theme, my posting tonight is a Porsche – funny eh?  This is an old Porsche 356 Speedster.  It was parked in a great position with some nice bushes behind, and nobody was in shot!  That’s pretty rare at these things you have to have the patience of a saint as there is always someone in the way.  But for this image I was lucky.

I loved the cream/yellow color of this car and the chrome on the front really set it off.  It was in fantastic condition, absolutely beautiful.  If I owned a Porsche, it would have to be one of these – but as it’s a convertible, it’s not really a car for Washington State.

This afternoon Carter decided to show Master Chief his new ride.  I think Master Chief was a little jealous.
