First, let me start off by saying that my photography skills are not up to par with certain people on this forum...
And this is a lot of pictures.

First, I did not take many pictures of BMW's. I figure I have seen most of them before.

I took a picture of this one to show you guys pretty much the only rice car there.

Yes, that is a TV in his spoiler. And I am not sure what he does about not having a roof. My friend on E46fanatics said that this guy tried to join, but was made fun of too much.

Normal BMWs

M1 and 3.0 CS in the Zentrium. There was pretty much anything you could ask for. Every M3, Z1's, M Coupes, Z4M Coupe, nice E30's, and lots more.
Also, I did not take pictures of the nice Mercedes, Audis, Porsches, VWs, or Volvos. I should have, but I didn't start taking pictures until I saw this car...

I am not sure if those pictures give that car justice. It was massive. In the back, it had a third row of seats that folded up in between the two rows. There was that much leg room. Basically a really cool car that I had not seen before.

Here are a few old school Jags that I took a few pictures of.

I really like the way the hood opens in those cars.

These were the only 2 non-European cars that I remember on display.

This one was there under a tent. I think the dealer brought it there to show off.

This one I liked a little better myself. (Mitch, as a Ferarri guy, you might want to look away, it is your biggest rival circa the 60's, a GT 40!)

I honestly only took a picture of this car because I did not know that Vespa had made cars.

A TVR. My dad asked me if that was the car that Top Gear said randomly burst into flames.

Some old Volvo, very cool.

One of my friends knows the guy who owns this car and he drove it down from Charlotte. Had to wear ear protection the whole way.

There was also a 430 driving around that wasn't in the show. Sounded damn good.

Some guy walked in my way, but this is the only picture of this car that I got, so I will throw it in there.

And I got to drive a 335i on a wet/dry thing. It was definately faster than my car. I was not very good, ran into a few cones, but I managed to scare the sh!t out of my dad. I really wanted to drive an M5, but I got there too late for that. Next year I will sign up online in advance.

Me in one of the cars. The reason I look so dumb is that the guy taking the picture was having me stick my head out of the window to get the sun.

Us behind another 335i waiting to go.
http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii268/unionjackrocks/Euro%20Fest/PA180083.jpg

Read-out in car. A whole 6.1 mpg! No wonder they crush all these cars when they are done with them. The engines are probably shot after like 10k miles. Also, I loved being able to smell the brakes burning on these cars and the M5's.

Cool Cars, Looks like you had a lot of fun.

[atl530i]

Where was this at? Some very cool cars there.

[Mitch]

WOW awesome pics. I wanted to go, but we ended up going to the SVRA Vintage Grand Prix.

Thanks for sharing these pics! OK lets identify the Ferraris, first pic 348 Spider, second pic 87 TR, third pic one of my all time faves the F40LM. Behind it is a some sort of 250 TR/330GT recreations made to look like a 57 250 Testa Rossa, non-pontoon fendered car.

[EnderM3]

There is so much win there! and you started it off with the largest pile of fail....

[e30bmw]

BMW Plant in Spartanburg, SC.

That is a Mercur. Very rare over here in the US.

[BMRSEB]

That is a Mercur. Very rare over here in the US.
Wasn't there a US version, Mercur Xr4Ti? It had a bi-plane spoiler on the back, and turbo-charged 4 cylinder engine.

Touche. Might be a different car though. The Merkur Xr4Ti technology was way ahead of it's time compared to what the US was driving. I am not sure what model the red one in the picture is. I think it shared a chassis with the infamous "Fox Body" Mustang.
