It’s a Lamborghini…seriously….

As most are undoubtedly aware, the annual European Auto Show took place last Sunday, second year at the “new” Taubman Prestige Outlets venue out in the Chesterfield Valley.  Yr fthfl ed failed to make the show last year and heard a few horror stories, including lack of shade (well, give the shrubbery a few years) and general disorganization.

This year, it looked like the organizers of the show got several of the bugs worked out. Plenty of people (volunteers? dealer employees?) were around to help guide the cars in and yes, there was still a heavy commercial component provided by vendors, but overall the event seemed to go pretty well.  Shoot, even the temperature was reasonable under severe clear skies.

Based on unscientific observation, it would appear the Jaguars, BMWs, Porsches and Ferraris were most numerous and several other marques – Mercedes Benz, new Mini, Alfa Romeo, Lotus, Lamborghini – also had more than a few examples on display.    Sad to say, didn’t see any Triumphs and only two MGs took to the lot, but some of the one-offs proved fascinating, including an immaculate Opel GT (didn’t know we had one running here in St Louis).

Anyway, not a bad job this year and always an entertaining diversion.
