2008 Euro Auto Fest in Greer, SC

BMW's Euro Auto Fest in Greer, SC

The "clan" in front of a row of BMW 8-series

While I advanced registered my Alfa for this years event (missed getting it in last years because she was still in California). I decided NOT to drive her through the horrible rain storms we were having on the eastern side of the state. Did not want to subject my baby to 3.5 hrs of yucky rainy driving. There is always next year. However, did show up to check out the cars. Not as big a turnout as last years event. This year the honored marques of Sweden.

One happy and LUCKY kid!

Darren Frank's most beautiful 1969 Iso Grifo was once again present at the show and Michael was offered the chance by the owner to sit inside. Lets just say he didn't hesitate. Was very proud when he thanked Darren (without prompting mind you) for the honor. Nice to see a fellow who shares the love of cars with kids (even a pristine collectible valued at over $365,000).

There were Jags...

There was even a 300SL Benz...

....and even a handsome row of early model Volvo sports cars.
