    I went to Woodward almost every night of the week and was blown away at what I saw. Grab a beverage, kick back, and enjoy the non-stop action!

    Nice vids ! I'm still going through pics of saturday & today . i'm defiantly making sure I come up next year and stay for all day friday through sunday . It was a great turnout, much better then last year! Its almost impossible to see everything . I was hoping to catch that black GT5-S Pantera parked somewhere, it always seemed like it was driving on the opposite side of the street from where I was at.

    keep 'em coming! It's always a fantastic weekend. I miss not living in driving distance from M-1 anymore. Glad you had a great time. Did you see an F40 or F50's?

    Something you may wish to consider is coming during the week of i.e. Monday -Thursday that week. For many,it is much better than the actual Saturday event. The cars are moving at a much faster rate and the lots are filled with cool stuff.With 1+ million people on Saturday......it's difficult at best .Just a suggestion.I've been every year since it started in '95 & each year it just seems to get better & better.The quality of cars has improved over time as well,IMHO.But never a dull moment.

    Agreed, I was there almost every night of the week and always saw something different. Plus, there usually is more room for the cars to move a little quicker.


    Here are a couple more. Lots of Ferraris in this one! I have one more montage video after this, and then I'm done! ;)

    I'll have to see if i can swing the beginning of the week . I did like cruising on sunday though , about 1/3 the cars were still around and no crowds, t-shirts at half price, we could park anywhere we wanted .

    I've started to upload some pics to here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/scott597/sets/72157627498402032/ , still lots more to upload though .

    I thought of going there on Sunday, but I was so burned out from the whole week. I would love to see what you got from Sunday! I've seen that '67 Charger with the big wing on the back, but I didn't see it this time around.

    Love it! I wonder if the Italian car guys strayed very far away from Birmingham though. :)

    Question: I have not been back to Birmingham since 1999 or 2000. Did the Fiat dealer go into the spot on Woodward where the Porsche dealership used to be?

    Bummer to see the big Borders store going out of business too. Is the little auto book store that was also on the east side of Woodward, about a 1/2 mile south of Borders still around? ---EDIT--- Never mind, I see that the last video of the Ferrari 365GTC4 was shot right in front of their door! Cool!

    Yeah, the Italian cars are usually in the Birmingham area. You will see an occasional one in Royal Oak though!

    The Porsche dealership is still there. I know which Fiat dealership you're talking about, but I'm blanking on it's precise location.
