went down to the show on saturday.... It's a pretty big deal for Hawaii, as I have never seen so many exotic cars in one place. There was about 20 ferraris (including F40 and F50), and 6 lambos, as well as various others. Unfortunately there were no automobiles representing the weiss mit blau. Favorite car of the show... lotus elise, hands down. should be arriving in america for the first time in the next few months .... 190 hp toyota celica gts engine in a car less coming in around 2000 pounds!!! i have new motivation to do well in school this semester... anyone here drive one????

Cool!! I didn't know you are in Oahu, I was just in Honolulu a month ago, too bad we couldn't have met up for a beer.

Did you get any pictures? I can't imagine there are that many places to drive a F50 in Hawaii are there?

the F40 and F50 were brought in from a museum in california. I dont have any confirmation wether there are other models like that here on island. A red ferrrari enzo was purchased and driven here for a few months, but word has it its now on the mainland. i took some pictures of the show
they can be viewed at

Is it me or is it that every single other car show in the entire world beats the Vancouver Auto Show hands down. I mean if I wanted to go see tlow end cars, I'd go to the Richmond Auto Mall. Wonder why we never get any concept cars or at least higher end cars.
btw nice pics S14. An Elise would be an awesome track day car.

glad you like the pics..... this was a first for hawaii.... usually it is just the annual car show with the "regular cars," and maybe a diablo, a 360, and a 550 or 575. except for the 2 uber exotics, i didnt know that may ferraris or lambos existed on this island..... who woulda thought.... now... being that im 21.... how do i go about convincing a salesman to let me drive 1.... ;)

If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to the ferrari dealership in sweats, snadals and a wife beater and buying a 360 Stradale with crush up bills in a paper bag.
