Yes, I’ve been gone for almost two months. Not just from the blog, but from home as well. In a big out-of-town trial that just keeps going…and going…and going… So the blog’s been on hold. I missed Formula 1, two Cars and Coffee events, the Jaguar Land Rover of Austin grand opening, the BMW i8 […]

British Invasion, Year Two – a Longhorn Barbecue
posted by Motorista
[DISCLAIMER: No longhorns were barbecued.] Last Sunday, I spent my second year in a row as a judge at the Texas All British Car Days car show. Yes, all attorneys like to play judge for a day. But, as cool as my newfound (and temporary) author-i-tie was, the best part was getting to see all […]

The British are Coming!
posted by Motorista
For the second year in a row, I experienced a British Invasion. Expect a full post on the experience later this week. In the meantime, here’s a taste. Also, there were longhorns. And beer. What’s not to love?

Why Jean Jennings Rocks (Also More NY Auto Show)
posted by Motorista
I’ve talked plenty about Jean Jennings, including how she inspired me and how I’ve gotten to do such cool things with her Jean Knows Cars team (including writing about the 2014 Detroit Auto Show – here and here!). But now you have a chance to see for yourself why Jean is so good at what she […]

Pining for New York…
posted by Motorista
Like the dead parrot in Monty Python, I’m pining for the fjords New York. The New York Auto Show, that is. I received an amazingly generous offer of VIP tickets for tomorrow but, hey. It’s logistically complicated and ever so slightly expensive to be a globe-trotting Motorista. So I’m sitting this one out, and living vicariously […]

See here for their take on the hits, misses and revelations of Geneva. Having read their analysis and scoured the web for all the info on Geneva, here are my impressions […]

Geneva!
posted by Motorista
The Geneva Motor Show is happening! Alas, I am not there. However, I have been keeping up with the gossip, and will have plenty of opinions and news to share, including cars/concepts from McLaren, Audi, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Mazda, Jeep and Maserati. Of course, it’s already 10 p.m. and I have still have things to […]

Esotico Italiano – Classic Lamborghinis
posted by Motorista
Yes, I’m still talking about the Esotico Italiano (if this is your first time hearing about it, read this and this). But I really thought the classic Lambos deserved their very own post. And so, without further ado…automotive insanity!! 2001 Diablo: 1991 Diablo: […]

Esotico Italiano – the Ferraris
posted by Motorista
Pardon the interruption – I promised you this post yesterday, then got sidetracked by life. Without further ado, the Ferraris from Esotico Italiano! (You can find the Lamborghinis here.) There were Ferraris of all ages – and mostly in red. 😉 Stripes! More stripes! I really liked this 328 GTB. Classic […]

Esotico Italiano – the Lamborghinis
posted by Motorista
Well, tomorrow was worth it! The Esotico Italiano show at the Oasis brought together more Lamborghinis (and Ferraris…and a DeTomaso!) than I have ever seen in one place before. And more orange. It was heavenly. Almost as fun as looking at and photographing the cars myself was watching little boys run breathlessly from one car […]

Tomorrow, Tomorrow
posted by Motorista
There’s a big Italian car show at the Oasis tomorrow. (Remember the Oasis, the site of Cars and Coffee?) Called the Esotico Italiano Automobile Showcase, and part of the 2014 Texas Running of the Bulls, this event is hosted by Lamborghini Club Texas and sounds just like what I would select if heaven was made-to-order.

As promised, here is the vehicle that allegedly foreshadows many design cues for the 2015 Audi TT: the Audi Allroad Shooting Brake Concept, shown at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. The distinctive Audi grille Do those headlights look a little familiar? (Hint: check the TT sketches.) The details are amazing – look […]

Magic Tricks: Porsche 911 Targa
posted by Motorista
Porsche continued the rollout of all 5 million iterations of its new 991 series 911 model with the premiere of the new 911 Targa 4 at Detroit. The Targa is distinctive from other 911 models because of its movable roof section – a unique cross between coupe and cabriolet. I snapped a few photos to […]

L.A., From Afar
posted by Motorista
Although silently lamenting that all the cool car people are in Los Angeles this week for the L.A. Auto Show (Hi Jean! Hi Deb!), social media actually allows me to see quite a lot of what they are seeing (but without all the fun). Having been bombarded on Twitter and Instagram by all of the […]

British Invasion Weekend
posted by Motorista
So, the British invaded Central Texas this weekend. More precisely, the Texas All British Car Days show was held in Round Rock today. I was planning to go as a camera-wielding spectator. Instead, through a combination of happenstance and generosity, I ended up being a camera-wielding JUDGE. And since it was raining off and on, […]
