Naples Florida 5th avenue car show
My wife and I are vacationing in Naples for 2 months. We usually don't come down until late Feb. but we got here early this year. OMG, I have never seen anything like this show. 40-50 new, used and vintage Ferrari's, McClarens, Lambos, Porsches, Bentleys, Jags, Acura NSX, Vettes, Benz, GT40, Alfa Romeo, Tesla, racing cars, classic cars, a nice BMW display with M2's 3's 4's 5's and gorgeous women. There were over 150 cars and when they left 5th avenue they had a police escorted parade up Rt.41. The sound was unbelievable!! Lots of rich people live here and then there are gawkers like me on vacation. If I hit the Powerball tonight I know what I will be buying (several of what I saw today)

That's for sure. BMW's are like Toyotas down here. LOL As you said, some deep pockets in this area and some very nice vehicles rolling down our roads.
Aside from the truly exotic (Koenigsegg, Pagani Zonda Revolucion, Hennessey Venom and the like), I've seen pretty much seen every other rare or exotic rolling on Rt. 41 at one time or another. Saw a Ferrari Pininfarina parked in a Fresh Market lot. That was a jaw dropper. Never did see who was driving it. |

I spent a day in South Beach, Miami last January. OMG, the cars! I've never seen so many Ferrari's and Lambo's on the street, just driving around. And very high-end Porsches and Mercedes/AMG sports models. The BMW's seemed kind of dowdy/common in comparison. My wife and I loved the people watching, but the car watching was even better for me.

I think you mean the Sergio. Very rare bird with only 3 in the US.

Yikes, I didn't realize they'd updated the Lotus Elan.

Sounds about right for NoFla. Naples is quite upscale.

Monthly Supercar Saturdays @Lamborgini Broward probably tops any show in terms of number of exotics and rare cars you see on a regular bases.

You should check out "The Rev's Institute Car Collection". It's the Barron Collier Car Museum here in Naples.
http://revsinstitute.org/the-collection/ One day while running errands in Naples, I saw Mr. Collier running around in his Koenigsegg, car was unbelievable. |

Kind of weird that this thread contains zero pictures.
