«You see Elvis Presley? We were there! „- I said, squeezing through the crowd that occupied the entrance. Yeah, who would have thought that someone will be able to arrange a car festival in the center of Moscow. Location is very well chosen — Poklonnaya Gora. Get comfortable, and the visitors themselves will catch up — the weekend a lot of people walking in the parks.
It was used well, if not one fat «but». On the last weekend of summer, spend a few fun activities.
The city has been an increased security mode: too much of the Arab sheiks came to M.A.K.S. to buy a pair of aircraft carriers. What sheiks! There champion drag racing Dmitry Pleshakov competing with planes!
At the same time on the racetrack Moscow Raceway passed the championship DTM, which is the opening act — the race Porsche Sport Challenge with our Russian amateur pilots! Compete with the world-class events such useless.
However, even with such intense weekend could find a couple of hours to visit the first in the history of the festival «AvtoMartShou.» Well, let's go?
Guests — cars
«This is not the first festival that I organize. The show turned out very high-quality format. I rather. Here the car — these are the key away, „- said the extent tired organizer of the festival Andrei Volkov, in the evening of the final day of the festival.
Well, judging by the fact that the interest of the visitors did not dry up, you can imagine how much work should be protected cars that were on display: Oldtimer, supercars, tuning projects and custom bikes... There have been more than a hundred, but the organizer has positioned them as the best Cars XX and XXI century.
Who here in the topic?
The first thing I want to know: because of whose opinion they are the best? Of course, each of us who love cars, as the changing taste preferences, builds a list of the most rapid, reliable and sought-after automobiles. Familiar? In fact it is made, and Andrei Volkov, who has chosen to your taste the best cars and showed them all. In order to somehow help those who are «not in the theme» cars were divided into groups.
«This is a living history of the automobile. Different styles, different eras: military vehicles, Americans, European classics, tuning projects. In general, all those aspects that somehow someone interesting. Yes, it's top 100 car in my opinion. I am a very experienced man and has long been „in the subject line,“ and indeed he restored classic cars, I know the process from the inside. »
Curiously, the organizer, looking around the car, went to Masserati.
Yankee attack, GAZ keeps defenses
Most views attracted American cars, among which were seen Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger, Shelby Cobra, Buick Rivera, Cadillac Series 62, Pontiac Firebird, pickups Ford Ranchero and Chevy El Camino, etc. It seems that the Americans have occupied a site.
On the other side of the front could be seen and Russian cars, even more so — turbocharged «Volga». «Classic» has been presented as part of the Best: GAZ-67, GAZ AA ZIS- 110, «The Seagull», «Moskvich- 401» and the company of other dinosaurs domestic production.
Incidentally, the first day of the festival access to military exhibition was free, but in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory was held thematic concerts.
Expertise, urgently!
Cars were many, but they can not be called consumer goods. For example, it was found quite a good fared a German Mercedes-Benz 190 EVO II and the British Shelby Sobra.
If authenticity EVO II questions did not arise, then Sobra, sold for 2.5 million, more difficult.
However, we were here to have fun and not to carry out the examination. Getting to the festival was only a Sunday evening. By that time, some cars were halfway to their garages.
Good old tuning
Among the many nalakirovannyh vehicles to cover them and then attempted to rain, you could see the SAAB, Opel, BMW, Infiniti and even Toyota discs in the form of a game of roulette.
Remember, even 10–15 years ago tuning projects were so liberated, that premium were just those who have been the most insane. They are waiting for an incredible ovation, especially if they are not intended to drive.
In place of calling the project had other cars — concise and powerful. It's great exposure dismantled striking Lamborghini and Ferrari, without any modification. They stood at the entrance. Yeah, they can inspire many.
But children and adults especially liked the trio — two «cubes» and the Mitsubishi Evo IX with eyes that attracted his outspoken charisma.
Elvis, go to Cadillac!
In order to somehow shake the public is now not enough to create a reason for the meeting, especially if the need for it to pay more money, but «AvtoMartShou» was able to attract people.
For three days, it was held a lot of competition for viewers, concerts of pop singers and even a separate competition for girls («AvtoLediShou»), which at its best about themselves from the scene, «study», «work», «fond», «love my car „- just talent.
And if you look closely, among the general extravaganza could find Elvis Presley, who now and then walked among the cars, perhaps, was looking for something?
All of your list of the best cars, but to find them in reality and build on the same site, and still hold them there for three days — well worth it! Beginning of the festival should be, sorry summer was over, but there is time to prepare a new list of cars.
