2012 Luxury & Supercar Weekend

As I looked and saw that nobody made a thread on this yet, im gonna go ahead.

Last year a bunch of people complained that there was no notice on this event and many people didn't have the opportunity to go because they didn't know.

Now you know :fullofwin:

This year it will be happening September 8 & 9th (aka this weekend)

Admission is $50 for a regular pass and $100 for the VIP which entitles you for drinks/food and stuff.

Im not associated with this event in any way but i thought it would be nice to give all you guys a heads up in case you wanted to go.

Luxury Supercar Weekend - Friday, September 7, 8, 9, 2012 - VanDusen Botanical Garden, Vancouver, BC

Anyone know if the Bugatti will be coming back this year? Missed it last year :okay:

Hey awesome, thanks!

I was a chief complainer :D

I heard Bugatti is a no go this year sadly.

Whaaaat?

I just read the PDF in the media section of their site. :okay:

June 6, 2012, VANCOUVER B.C. – Luxury Supercar & Concours d’Elegance Weekend is set
to return to Vancouver’s VanDusen Botanical Garden with its largest and most valuable
collection of supercars and luxury brands to date.

On September 8th and 9th, the world’s most exotic modern and classic automobiles will
be on display at the spectacular VanDusen Botanical Garden, nestled snugly in historic
Shaughnessy.

The lush beauty of Shaughnessy’s most famous outdoor space creates a uniquely west

together beautiful cars and the people who appreciate them.

2012 marks Vancouver’s Third Annual Luxury & Supercar Concours d’ Elegance Weekend,
which promises to be the social event of the season, as well as one of the most highly

Have you ever seen one? I was driving to whistler and saw one drive at me going the opposite direction on the lions gate. I seriously almost ended up in the fucking ocean. It is terrifyingly amazing in person.

Comon lets get some pics up in here eh?

Stars of the show for me.

Using a polarized filter? They're internal stresses of the plastic created during molding process..

Or leftover soap from a wash?

I wish I went, but 50 bucks? Pretty unreasonable.

must be using polarized filter

if you have polarized lenses on sunglasses, you'll see this as well.

would have never gone if i didn't get free tickets. F40, CGT and the new vanquish were the only ones worth looking at. rest of them were just your run of the mill exotics that you see around every corner in richmond.

there was an slr722 with an N sign as well :lol
