Anyone going to the NY Auto Show this weekend? I'll be there with my Dad on Saturday, it's become an annual tradition for us. Up until 2 years ago we went to Philly, then decided to go to NY for a change. We'll get to the Detroit show one of these years.

Here are a few pics I took at the show. Gotta say, I'm loving the Mini Clubman. I expect to get at least 3 more years from the PT, but if the Clubman is still around when I'm ready, I'm going to give it a serious look.

Great pictures Mark, thanks! That mini looks great! Drove a few at autocross events and surprisingly, they are pretty roomy inside, as long as you don't need a trunk. I guess the new stretched 4dr addresses that a bit.

Great pics Mark. Thanks for sharing. I see Nipper's prom car was there. I think Fred and Barney were the last to drive it.

MArk,
Thanks for sharing your pictures from the NYC Car Show.

And you got the Mark 5 car in there. Speed Racer is rmoured to be a block buster when it hit theaters and you got the first pics of the Mark 5 that I have seen.

I watched that show when I was a kids.

I was a little disappointed with the Mach 5 - it was really just a mock-up, not an actual car from the movie. If you look at the cockpit, you can see it has a shelf covering the entire area.

The movie should be fun, I don't expect it to be more than eye candy. I think Christina Ricci will be great as Trixie. The marketing is going to be MASSIVE. I've already spotted some of the new toys, I guess they wanted to get a jump in case the movie tanks.

Mark,

I first heard about the project well over a year ago and know that they were slowly building the hype. I so a drawing of the car for the film last summer which is when the started talking about who was going to play who.

I plan on seeing the film, but hope it's more than a lot of CG (Computer Graphic) stuff.
