Maker Faire is coming to Austin for the second time ever! For those of you who have ever been inspired by science, technology, robots, do-it-yourself projects, metal arts, crafts, art cars, fire, music, or... or.... basically anything that's cool, then Maker Faire was made just for you.


The Travis County Expo Center will host Maker Faire on October 18 and 19. Maker Faire only occurs twice a year, once in the San Francisco Bay Area and once in Austin. Exhibitors and attendees have literally come from across America, and even the world to attend Maker Faire.

Edit on Oct 8, 2008: The following list is copied from a forum on The Last Alliance with an estimation from where each car was designed/produced.

Yes, there definitely are 2 or 3 Peugeot's in there, and also an Audi, if I saw it well...

1: I don't know, maybe a Crysler?
2: Ehh...
3: Well, I think it's just a Lotus with 2 extra wheels.
4: A Nissan
5 - 7: No idea
8: Peugeot
9: I'd say a Citroen
10: A Lambo?
11: Looks like the Audi R8, but now I'm sure it's a Maserati
12: Another Nissan
13: BMW
14: Peugeot
15 + 16: Not a clue
17: Yet another Peugeot
18: Surprise - surprise, a Peugeot!
19: Don't know
20: Really, Peugeot has a really great fantasy...
21: *Sigh*...Peugeot
22: I think the maker of this site is French...
23: No idea
24: Hmm...a Porsche maybe? I don't think so, actually...
25: Toyota
26: Is this an even uglier version of that Porsche jeep? Otherwise, I'd say either a Jeep or a BMW

Well, in case you'd want to know which car is from who.
