Carlisle 2012

I know i know, i have not been on for a while.  I may be a bit late with this, but here are some of my best pictures from the 2012 Carlisle Import and Kit Car Show.  You can use these pictures however you'd like, i would prefer it if you didn't use them for public showing or use, but i'm 12 and i can't stop you.
 Here is a nice little Lotus 7.
 
 GODZILLA!
 
 Lotus Elise.  'nuf said.
 I believe this is a Triumph TR6.  Correct me if i am wrong
 
 Funky looking TVR, has a Flat-6,  i think.
 Replica Ford GT.  Named Christine.
 
 This is the inside of the "Lady Bug", A tricked out VW Beetle.
 
 Ferrari California?
 
 The timeless Daytona.
 
 The only Ferrari that i think looks best in white
 
 I love the BMW Isetta
 
 The model name eludes me now, but hey, looks great
 
 The inside of the previous Ferrari
 This thing was really cool.
 
 A little something for our Vette loving readers
 
 An interesting Lamborghini, they started it up and the echo was tremendous
 
 Again, forgot the Model and Make, but its a very sleek car, i think it had a modern Vette engine in it.
 
 This is an Australian kit car, very cool, with a Ford Focus RS engine
 
 I adore this Porsche.  Great color.
 
 Everbody loves a 2CV
 
 A pretty Datsun 280ZX 2+2
 Datsun 280Z?  Wonderful light blue.
 Mazda Miata.  Scissor Doors.  Wow.
 Opel GT, Probably the best Opel i can think of.  At least 4 showed up to Carlisle this year.
 No clue what this is, the front fascia looks like Abarth.
 
 There was a whole tent dedicated to Saab, this one was my favorite.
 This is a Saab Sonnet?  The only real sports Saab i can think of.  Too bad they went out of buissness, really.
 Citroen DS.  Gotta love it.
 Don't ask me what this is, but i want it.
 Here is the engine of that 3 wheeler.
 
 One of the early Bugattis.  Imagine going from this to the Veyron in something like 90 years.
 Probably one of the most sought after badges in the modern car world.
 
 Just one of the many buggys on show this year
 
 When this beast rolled in nobody could look anywhere else.  Amazing replica.
 Cobra engine 427.
 The best looking car.....in the world.
 Bug-Eye Sprite.  Love it's little smile.
 Just look at the price.  If i was a bit older, i would have begged my dad for this.
 TVR.  Best. Company. Ever.......Arguably.
 ThisTVR seems un-stock to me.....
 Sensing a theme yet?
 This is badged a Lamborghini, resembles a Diablo.....hmmmm.
 An early Cobra softop.  Unfortunately not the classic Blue and Whit color scheme.
 Datsun 280Z 20th Anniversery.  Gold and Black livery.  Wanted this soooo badly.
 This sounds and looks cool, but what is it exactly?
 WOW, ITS AN F40!!
 awwwww.....darn it.......(for our non-French speakers, Faux means False.)
 The Fiat/Abrth stand.  This is a nice little Barchetta.
 

 Sorry about no comment on the previous picture.  As for this one, well, its a big Citroen Van.  I like it.
 This is a  Mid engine Abarth of some kind, i'm a fan.
 The raging Gallardo.  Can't miss this from a mile away.
 Don't know what it is, but it looks fun, althought not going 65 MPH down a highway.
And the best car of the lot, the one we eventually bought, the great TVR 2500M.
