Auto Show

I'm working the Auto Show for a couple of days. And no i'm not wearing a push up bra and leaning sexily over cars. Nor am I cleaning them. In fact i'm working here as media. Which is nice the place is not busy and we get to check out the cars up close without all those nasty 'public' getting in the way. I'll post up some nice pics tomorrow or the next day of the fancy cars. But in the meantime, our media room is right along a hallway with some classic cars, beautiful old things, including a room full of Rolls Royces at the end of the hall.

There's an endless loop playing on some audio thing nearby, after 9 hours I've nearly got it memorized. But one line that I do like is that back in the 30s through the 60s their approach to aerodynamics was "if it looks fast, it is fast". Here's a couple of pics of a 1937 Aerodynamic concept car. I think it's lovely. Weird but lovely.
