I love exotic car shows (56k don't worry about it)

The little upscale town of Winter Park had its 4th annual Concours d'Elegance today, where they block off the street leading through downtown and put close to 100 exotic cars on either side of the street. It is open to the public, for free.
Of course, I had to go
I have over 40 pics, so I'm not going to post them all, but here's some highlights:
They had the new Porsche Carrera GT there (two of them actually)

The first time I've ever seen a roadgoing Porsche 911 GT1 with my own eyes

This roadgoing Mercedes CLK-GTR I've seen several times though

Cool little Fiat Abarth

A London taxicab!

Several new Lotus Elises were on display, I actually got to sit in the yellow one. It's tough for my 6'3" frame to enter and exit it, but once I'm in the seat, I have plenty of room

10 bonus points to anyone who can tell me what engine is in this T-Rex

This guy has not one, but TWO Jaguar XJ220s. I've talked to him at several different shows, but didn't see him this year

Not too many more beautiful cars on this earth than the Jaguar XJ120

My fave Alfa, the GTV6

I don't think Cameron's dad would have wanted his in this color
