Just been to an Auckland show, where they had all sorts of cars, exotics, rice, some classics..big sounds.. home entertainment.. boats... nice surround sound systems.. WOW. 60" plasma screen, with thousands of $$$ of sound and lighting displays.
Anyway, I took the camera, and snapped some of the cars...
My darn camera, seems was set on wrong settings. I could have done them much better. I was rushing around, and trying to take pics in tight spots, between people walking past. So unfortunately, some shots or most are rather low quality. Blurred, as I had flash off, with indoor, meaning lower shutter speed...
Anyway, here are a few..

Enzo pics came out yellow/orange. This camera does struggle a lot with reds.. especially inside, under lights!

I was guessing this was a F1 copy.. didn't look real...
No electronics or anything.. just a shell, with strange plastic wheels

an MG.. not bad, but the air vents behind the front wheels don't look great at all.. plastic cheap things!
Maybe if it was aluminium, or the same colour as the car.. not plastic crappy bits of flaps!!

I was rather peaved off.. the Carrera GT wasn't there, despite advertising for that and the Enzo for the past few weeks...

Nice photos. :)
Who was behind the Lambo being there? The NZ distributor of Lamborghini cars?
Strikes me as funny that they couldn't even get the correct Murciélago logo to use on the advertising plate put in place of where the normal license plate goes.
I like the GT3 RS too, nice car, a little bit of nostalgia present too with the decals on it, harking back to the old Carrera RS 2.7.

Not sure about anyone around the cars :p
Just a whole heap of young and old people taking photos.
The only person I spoke to was some member of the NZ Porsche club. I was only asking about the Carrera GT...he said it was like prototype, pre-production, coz it hasn't quite started yet. And then was trying to make me think the GT3 RS was an almost as great rare car, for NZ anyway... No, I didn't come just to see a GT3 :p... A Carrera GT would've been great to see.
One has already been bought by Mr. Giltrap... owner of half the damn exotic cars in New Zealand. Let's hope he can put his nice new car on show when it arrives.

777-300...
Damn half my pics were rejected to airliners, and half were forwarded on for further screening. Damn tough those guys :p
All the pics were rather crap, but I was there again today, and the sun came out for a bit, and the 777 was parked near the International terminal :)

Nice photo of the 777 on the tarmac. Very good quality.

yeah very good ah?
That's probably why it was rejected...
the reason this time was badangle... rejection info shows this means bad angle of horizon etc. Is pic straight.....
I had a look, and it's within .5 or 1 degree...
Can't complain.. that makes 17 rejects.. 4 successes...
Even though I could compare a lot of the rejected ones to recently accepted ones from others, or even my friend, with my own camera, that weren't that great. Guess it's a warning to new uploaders, they only accept the very best quality.
