The Toronto Internation Autoshow

One of my favorite times of year is when the Autoshow comes to town.  What a fantastic place to visit.
Considering that the most influential invention that has changed the way we live is the Automobile.
 What other item in life do we use more?

This year was no disappointment, with the most anticipated cars being shown, from the 2012 Chevrolet Volt, 2013 Ford Focus & Escape, the new Hyundai Genesis, and even a big-shot as the Bugatti Veyron.
We can never forget out Italian ladies, such as the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.

But personally, I really think the highlight section of the show was the Triumph Gallery.  Dozens of fully restored Triumph cars, the British Sports Car.

Like the TR4 and TR6, just beautiful pieces of history!

Even though the Triumph cars were one of the Shows highlights, I must say, without the Nissan GT-R this show just wouldn't be complete.  I mean, how can you have an auto-show without the car that outperforms the Porsche 911?

Until next year!
