The Right Pedal's Concours d'Elegance

My friend David has an immense photoset from his recent trip to the Greenwich (CT) Concours d'Elegance...some highlights:

• A Facel Vega in, perhaps, the most amazing color on a car ever
• Gullwing Benzezeseses
• A Veyron
• A Lamborghini Jalpa (with matching picnic set)
• A beautiful BMW 508

Of course, the convergence of ludicrous automobilia in Greenwich, CT, isn't really a surprise:

"If the hedge-fund boom has a capital, it is Greenwich, a ritzy suburb of mansions and gated estates about 30 miles from Manhattan. More than 100 hedge funds -- private investment pools that cater to wealthy investors and institutions -- have set up shop here in the past few years, a sign of the industry's explosive growth. Greenwich-based hedge funds collectively manage more than $100 billion, about a tenth of the total invested in hedge funds world-wide."
