Here they are, the photos from Gatebil Festival July 2008 which took place last weekend at Rudskogen, Norway. Getting the photos out took a day extra as it was decided a different, better gallery plugin should be used.
There should be just over 60 photos, of which the first half consist of drifting photos. The latter half include various supercars on show at the event, such as a Ferrari F40, a Lamborghini Diablo, the most brilliant Il Tempo Gigante, a Porsche GT3, a Dodge Viper SRT10, and others, including some surprise classics.
Oh, and last, but not least (well, in a sense, also least, as far as volume goes): a Saab having been treated the way a Saab should be treated. I kid, I kid. Well, kind of.
The gallery is available after the jump. Click on the thumbnails to view the large versions. Also, be sure to check out the drifting video posted a couple of days ago. Enjoy!

The Bugatti Veyron Targa is set to be showcased at the upcoming (next month) 2008 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Monterey, California. While it will be great to see the Veyron Targa through other means than publicity shots, “elegance” might be a hard sell for this beast of a car.
The supercar becomes a targa through a removable hardtop. So that you, if you are fortunate enough to acquire a Veyron Targa, won’t have to stuff the removed hardtop into the nonexistent backseat, a fabric cover can be pulled out should the forces of nature require it. Naturally, reinforcements have been installed to keep the chopped up roof from making the car twist in all the wrong ways when you do nothing more than fire up the engine.
The Targa will sport an increased weight and a reduced speed, and as such, presumably be a bit less fun. However, as we know, in the world of supercars, less is more, so expect to have to shell out a bit more than the about 2 million dollars the original version demands.
The first Bugatti Veyron Targas will roll out onto the streets next year.
