First sightings on the road for this month

[TT]

Again, not a perfect week as for car sightings and this section is improving every day with marvellous ones from allover the globe :D so my week was kinda "average" compared to the last topics we had inside here :D and sadly I never had time to take "proper" pics.. so most of these were taken while driving (bad quality)

As for a start, a confirmation that summer is Corvette time in Lausanne

And after the Vette I had to quickly turn to the left to shoot this SL55 running away :D

Now, while the latest model is pretty "common" in AMG form, the older one is harder to spot around here.. and one with Monaco plates is a nice sighting :D

And after the signature version, clickable for slightly bigger format

Ok we got two generations of SL55, so here is now an SL500

Nissan 350Z, nothing THAT special, but still nice and it was a difficult shot ;)

See what I mean?

And usually when you I get a 350Z, pretty soon an RX-8 pops up :D

A Speedster

It was sort of a 996TT week.. here is one

Another one
http://www.jabbasworld.net/photopost/data/504/83col666porsche996turbo.jpg

But IMO the best color for 996s is this green.. very rare too!

I also made a bigger one, but well, it was beginning to rain, so the focus because of the water on the windshield isn't perfect, the light was green and I had to move.. but still nice to see the color I think

And the only Ferrari I got in around 7 days... a nice Modena, but terribly blurry picture :(

Amazing work as always...I especially like the green 911 Turbo.

[T-Bird]

nice mirror shot I've tried those before but always get a little camera in the picture. And this may have been brought up before but since the VX220 and the speedster are pretty much Identitical cars was it made by Lotus aswell or just Opel? And the RX-8 has a really ugly hue to it if I must say so.

[skituner]

very nice pics
i wish those cars where that common here in the us

[T-Bird]

well the corvettes, SL's, Porsches, RX-8's, and 350's are all pretty common around here just traffic is a bitch and it's hard to shoot. TT's just a natural with driving and shooting.(and not crashing or running down a ped.)

Sure, Speedster are always Speedster. The only difference is that the same brand has different names in UK and in the rest of the continent ;) just the badge changes (and of course some minor chassis settings)

Excellent skills there TT to get that 350Z pic :D 8) Of course this is the true use for wing mirrors, :wink: Indeed that colour for the 966 is ideal, i quite likw the rain on the screen doesn't really spoil the picture :D

[TT]

Of course, the rearview mirrors ARE MEANT for that :D

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Thanks for the pics TT, especially that SL 55 AMG fat ass :D :D :D :D Me like a lot :lol:

[schnell318]

Nice pics, incredible shot of that 350Z, worked out pretty well :D I like the one with the M5 and how the colour of the headrests looks with the rest of the car, here almost all M5s have their windows tinted really dark. :?

[bmagni]

But IMO the best color for 996s is this green.. very rare too!



i dont think so, lets say someone i know bought a green gt2 and was just awful, he sold it in the next months cause it looked so bad

anyway, cool pics

Good work!

LOL strange... don't tell me he then bought a boring silver one like all the other customers ;)

So far I just saw a C4S and that Turbo in green and as I said, IMO it's the best choice for a 996: rare and cool :D
