I'm taking a short break from Photography on this post to give
a quick commentary on the Toronto AutoShow.
All the photos were taken with the NEX 5n and the Sony 16mm f2.8, which
makes a great combination both in terms of focal length and low light
performance, but also in terms of pocketability.
Scion FRS - What a great car! Lotus performance and handling for warm
hatchback money.
Mini Cooper S Coupe - This one had very cool mirrors! The car is kinda pointless.
Mercedes concept - This Mercedes concept was more
photographically cool than aesthetically pleasing.
New C7 Chevrolet Corvette -
The ultimate machine for the
Handle Bar moustache and chest wig brigade.
Ford V8 - Cam chain, pulley system and combustion chamber on
a Ford 'Coyote' V8 for the 'car' people.
Ford Focus ST - Traditional torque steerin' turbo hot hatch
in nuclear waste yellow
Ferrari FF - Who woulda thunk it! A Ferrari station wagon. Albeit one with a 700hp V12.
Ferrari 599XX - A Ferrari race car that can't be registered
and only driven on the track when Ferrari says you can. All for a cool $2 mill. What a bargain.
Ferrari F40 - The coolest super car out of the '80s and a
personal favorite. This one was kinda
ruined with aftermarket alloys and being lowered within an inch of it's life.
Lotus Evora - A great 2+2 with true Brit build quality. Uses a Toyota 3.5L V6 and a Toyota Australia
TRD developed supercharger from the long lamented TRD Aurion. Therefore the engine will outlive between 3
and 5 Lotus chassis's. Also available in
nuclear waste yellow.
Jeep Wrangler - As hideous to drive as the paint job
suggests. Except if you are on the
Rubicon Trail (which includes most people's morning commute)
Mazda 6 Diesel - A beautiful entrant in the slimy fuel
market. Nice car too...
Mazda MX-5 - One of the best all time convertibles is also
one of the cheapest. The name is on the
dash, just in case you forget what you are driving.
Red Bull Racing F1 car - F1 Car by Red Bull Racing, badge by
Infiniti.
