Calgary Car Thread

It's no Lambo, but had a chance to take the fun car out for a spirited drive over the weekend. The light and trees were too nice not take a couple of photos.

There must've been some exotic convention/metup last night. I saw 6-7 random Ferraris/Lambos (although not that one!) yesterday on the way home from work. I also chased a Lotus Emira for a few blocks as it was the first time I've seen one in person...looked fantastic. Definitely fun-car type of weather out there.

Car & Coffee at the downtown Mercedes dealership. Btw your porsche is beautiful!

Is that a regular thing? I thought they were typically down south in Quarry Park.

Appreciate it!

The Quarry Park one ended a few years ago. Then, then Endorphin Exotics were hosting the last couple of years, but the venue wasn't quite the same (nor was the participation it seemed). There is a new group called Bespoke Car Club in town that has restarted the more Euro/exotic flavoured one at the downtown Mercedes dealership. Every other week, they had their 2nd one this week. I haven't made it out yet, but based on their instagram, they look to be pretty fantastic. Looking forward to making it to the next one with the NSX.

Me too, driving down 17th I saw at least four Lambo/Ferraris. It’s not unusual to see that on 17th but on a Wednesday night it was a bit surprising.

Ah that's what I thought, but was wondering if they started back up. Too bad it became a victim of its own success, with all the dunderheads that started showing up and crashing their cars. I remember driving by the last crash and wondering if that was going to be it...

Saw something on Instagram saying 2 Mercedes AMG Ones have been delivered to Calgary. These are $5M a piece! Hope to see one driving around soon!

Would these be the most expensive cars in Calgary?

Knowing Calgary, there's gotta be a few 60's Ferrari's kicking around in someones basement collection.

Saw a 308 GTS driving around Mission at lunch, sure that's worth a pretty penny.

They were just in transit on their way to Ontario for an event there (either F1 related or apparently some large event in Niagara). So, not staying unfortunately.

We they purchased here in Alberta to avoid PST, and then delivered to Ontario?
