[doc] Exotic Car Show in Celebration, Florida

[Mike Sumner <mikebmw316@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings All,
 
I've only just got back from Florida this morning but I wanted to share with you some pictures that I took at the annual Exctic Car gathering in Celebration, Florida.
 
Most importantly, there were three DeLoreans in attendance and I got chatting to the owner of one of them (liicence plate "ZILLA"), who had apparently purchased the car brand new in 1981 and said that he will have to be buried in the car because he loves it so much that he'll never, ever dream of selling it and drives it all the time.  He then proceeded to ask if he could shake my hand saying that he is so grateful to the UK for funding his car that he likes to thank every British person he meets, and he really did seem to mean it.
 
Unfortunately he had to dash off so I never got his name, but as you might expect the DeLorean got far more people round it than the Ferrari 360 Spyder that was parked to the right of it (you can just see it in a couple of the photos).
 
The last two pictures are just because I can't believe that I've actually seen a Ferrari Enzo close up and been deafened by it while standing behind it when it was fired up, so I thought I'd include a couple of shots of that as well, because with there only being 499 made you don't come across them too often.
 
And just a quick point as well, as this is an annual event don't forget that my parents house (just minutes away from where the gathering takes place) should be completed by the end of the year and available for rental while the show is on next year.  Just something I thought I should point out.
 
Regards,
