It’s official…Motorista is taking the 2016 North American International Auto Show by storm! As I have every year since 2012 (with the sad exception of last year), I am headed to Detroit for two full days (Monday and Tuesday) of auto show goodness. The press days took place earlier this week, so there’s already a […]

Red Poppy Car Show, 4/25/15
posted by Motorista
It’s nice when there’s a car show that is walking distance from your house. Slightly fewer logistics than, say, Detroit. That being said, Thing 1 accompanied me and pretty much bossed me around the whole time, so I didn’t get very many photos of all the classic cars lining the main drag in my town. […]

Cars and Coffee Austin – February 8, 2015
posted by Motorista
Okay, enough sad! Let’s get back to happy, aka Cars and Coffee, from two weeks ago. Spyker C8 Spyder McLaren P1 Scenes And then the Italians took over… Thank you for your indulgence. Never look a Camaro directly in the eye. My favorite car there, of course. The SRT Viper racer.

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?

Cars and Coffee Austin – May 18, 2014
posted by Motorista
Today was a beautiful day for a little driving and car ogling, and I made the most of it. Up early (for me), camera in hand, I headed off to Cars and Coffee for a sensory feast. There was a great mix of cars today – classic, modern, used, new, exotic, exotic in a painful […]

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 […]

Geneva Motor Show: the Lowdown
posted by Motorista
The Geneva Motor Show has come and gone…but fear not! My friends over at Automobile Magazine have great coverage of the show that was. 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.

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 […]

Shaken and Stirred

No, it’s not James Bond’s car (that was the DB5). But the Aston Martin DB6 in these photos struck a truly beautiful pose at the British car show this weekend. I wasn’t sure who/what David Brown was, until I did a little Internet research. Legacy. I […]

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, […]
