On Sunday, January 17th, 2015, Miller Motorcars of Greenwich, Connecticut hosted "Cinque Ferrari," a display of each Ferrari supercar - the 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo and the new hybrid "LaFerrari."  Here are some of my edited photos from the event.

Yorktown Cars and Coffee - Sunday, July 13th, 2014

On July 13th, 2014, a bunch of Cars and Caffe members drove to Yorktown, New York to join the Yorktown Cars and Coffee group for their weekly Sunday morning meet.  It was an early start to a Sunday morning, but lots of fun for all involved!  Here is a sample of the turnout:

BullFest - Spring 2014 - The Complete Lamborghini Experience

Over the past few years, I have had the privilege of participating in a number of incredible automotive events, ranging from exotic car shows to muscle car cruise nights, Auto Show press days, meets, shows, cruises and several events that stem from the Cars and Caffe group I launched last spring.  Each event is unique and enjoyable in its own way, but this past Sunday, I had the opportunity to experience something completely different for the first time: BullFest.

The quick synopsis of BullFest is that it is a Lamborghini-only day-long event organized by the Driving Force Club in the New York Tri-State area.  This year, 56 cars (unofficial count) showed up on Sunday morning for the event, and as you'll see below, it became quite a spectacle.

***If you'd like to skip over my silly commentary and hyperbole, you can head right to the YouTube playlist and watch highlights from the event.***

At 6:45 on Sunday morning, I arrived at a buddy's place who would be my ride for the day with his 2012 Gallardo LP550-2 pictured below.  We filled the thirsty bull up with fuel and then headed through the Lincoln Tunnel before meeting up with his friend and his new Aventador Roadster in front of Manhattan Motorcars.  Once we met up, we took the West Side Highway up through New York City and then headed into Westchester, where we reached the meeting point for breakfast.

Spring 2014 Class Glass Corvette Show - Sunday, May 4th

The first of two Class Glass Corvette Shows of 2014 was held at Garden State Plaza on Sunday, May 4th.  The event is a celebration of Corvettes and more across all seven generations of the storied sports car.  It was a good time as always, despite the threat of rain keeping many home.  Here is a photo gallery from the Corvette show.


Wait, this isn't a Corvette...



May not be original, but doesn't mean it isn't stunning.

2014 New York International Auto Show - Media Day

I was able to attend the first of two days reserved for press access at the 2014 New York International Auto Show on April 16th, so I made sure all of my cameras were charged up and ready to go.  I am not a professional photographer by any means, but here's my gallery from the show (if you'd like to skip to the video page, click here.  The photo gallery can be found here.):


Soleil Anadi

The first car I saw as I walked in appeared to be a customized Corvette, and to an extent, it is.  You may have seen one of these cruising through Monaco in some YouTube videos recently.  This is the Soleil Anadi, a new car from the upstart luxury sports car-maker, Soleil, based out of Milan, Italy.  They are taking the platform and engine block of the C6 Corvette and adding some luxury and Italian styling to create their own interpretation of a sports car.  The car features a 6.2 liter V8 that produces at least 650 supercharged horsepower (they are also offering a non-street legal version that will push out over 900 horsepower).  Soleil will build 25 of these machines, with three coming to the United States and each will start at $295,000.  Buyers will be able to fully customize their Anadis, with many high-end options not costing any additional funds.






Maserati

Nobody knew what to expect from Maserati at the New York Auto Show this year.  They're celebrating their 100th Anniversary this year, and they recently unveiled the Alfieri concept car, which could preview the GranTurismo's replacement.  As expected, they showed up with a number of Ghiblis, which is the most easily accessible car in Maserati's current lineup.  They introduced a new special edition of the GranTurismo for New York, and it's called the MC Centennial Edition.  The car features minor exterior changes from the existing MC Stradale, but also an upgraded interior and commemorative badging (I think I just made up the word "badging").







Maserati surrounded this particular MC Centennial with speakers that played the exhaust note of the car.
