Default I ran into the World Class Driving crew in Sedona

Hey guys I was at a boring doctors conference in Sedona few weeks ago. These conferences usually put me to sleep but this one was a bit different. My wife was actually planning on spending the $1695 for the day for me but didn't because we were both stuck at this conference. We knew they were going to be in Sedona but didn't know where. To our surprise when we got to the resort to check in the beasts from World Class Driving were all parked outside. So even though I was stuck in class ( did sneak out on a couple of occasions to shoot some pics or to hear them start up) I got the next best thing and didn't have to pay the $1700. The guys who run the show were very nice. They let people sit in the car and opened up the vehicles and started them ( no revving allowed though). For me these cars are like my favorite celebrities so it was awesome to see them all in the same place. Just wanted share some pics.

CARS:
1 Ferrari 599 GTB
2 Audi R8 V10
3. Bentley Continental Super Sport convertible
4. Jaguar XK-R
5. Ferrari F430
6.Mercedes McLAren SLR

Those are such beautiful cars.

The interior of the SLR is SO much nicer in person.

Awesome. Attending conferences at places like that are one of the things I miss about my past life as a vendor. We used to host an annual executive level conference at Spanish Bay. Now consulting in the public sector, I don't even dare buy the customer a hot dog from the cart out front. But, on the flip side, I get to sleep at home every night.

It was awesome. My room was on the third floor right above the car. I got to hear them started every morning and afternoon. The 599 sounds insane. I took video but dont know how to post it.

It was crazy hearing them in the morning. The smell of the exhaust was so strong , even on the third floor, that we had to close the windows after a few minutes. What really surprised me is how tame the SLR sounded. It started as quietly as my LS460. The 599 woke with a roar. It was pretty cool
