Rome Motors show

When you go out for buy vinyls and instead you end up at a car show...

Last Sunday, kicking off the laziness which usually make me spend my free days rolling on the bed, I went out in the morning, with the purpose to find some under priced good vinyl at a second hand market. The sun was shining and summer looked just arrived but with my terrible disappointment I found nothing worthy to purchase. When I was almost giving up, looking at my Facebook board, I discovered that at the other side of the city a Motor Show was going on. I immediately dropped the vinyls research and hurried up in a public transport misery journey, to reach the location. When after long walks, two subway's line and a tram bus trip, I arrived there, I was already mentally swearing. Simple explanation, at first sight all I could see were not so exceptional moderns cars, Suzuki and Nissan crossover and some hatchbacks which I not even remember the brand, cause in the distance I spotted this astonishing beast.

Cheered up and with a maniacal smirk plastered on my face, I looked further and I silently muttered an "Oh yes..." Two long lines of classic cars were ahead and jumping like a child the Christmas morning, exactly like the last time I went at an event of this kind, I had a look, well more than one, at all the old beauties exposed.

Here there's a selection of the shoots I've taken, not all and not all the cars, because some one deserves their own article. Highlights of the day which need to be mentioned and who will be posted separately are the weird 1956's Ockelbo Simca 6 Sport, the Porsche 718 RSK and old but gold a red Fiat 500 Topolino with rally fog lamps.

Rolls Royce Phantom, two Jaaaags (Jagurar XK120 I guess and the other one sorry but I cant'remeber, because as usual I didn't took a note about each model. The white one is a Fiat Dino.
