Pretty dumb topic, and BTW, it's not truely my idea, but it was inspired by Discofish at RF..

He once posted some pics of cool cars she saw in Miami on a rainy day...

We, back then I decided to take my camera with me as long as possible, and try to find something cool here too ;)

Obviously all the pics are taken during some weeks of time, not all the same day ;)

Now I have around 50 pics and it's useless to keep them on my PC and just show them to gis via MSN and to some other friends from time to time if I find a car I know they like ;)

So, here are the "cars of lausanne" I got so far :)

--

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col002mitsu3000gt.jpg
3000GT or GTO, the first one I got on pic :) BTW, my g/f's dad, in Poland has one :)

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col003e46m3.jpg
Almost missed it.. I was not ready.. anyway, "just" an E46 M3 with some ugly (IMO) wheels

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col005.jpg
Not sure about this one.. it reminds me of the Plymouth (not sure) Sly is driving in "Cobra".. but it's not the same

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col006porsche924.jpg
Not really the most sexy Porsche in the world... the interior was terribly worn out and full of shitty gadgets!

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col007cossie.jpg
A nice Cossie, "living" near me

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col008sl55amg.jpg
Nice SL55, more common than the SL500 around here :)

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col009civic.jpg
We have ricers too, but this Civic is pretty nice

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col010.jpg
Strange color IMO

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col011prowler.jpg
Prowler, very rare here. Pic taken in my favourite playground: the Palace Hotel ;)

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col012elisem111sk2.jpg
An Elise Mk 2 111S for sale.. only 100 km done.. so priced like new...

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col013audirs4.jpg
RS4 are everywhere, but I don't know why, I rarely take them in pic

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col015golfgti.jpg
Not really a supercar, but the Annyversary Edition GTI is very nice IMO

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col017porsche996gt2.jpg
One of my best finds, to bad I almost missed it: 996 GT2!

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col018porschecarrera4.jpg
Same day, second Porsche.. this time only a Carrera

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col019porschespeedster.jpg
Again same day, another 200 meters down the road... I guess it's a replica since it's parked like that, w/o the roof in the middle of nowhere...

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col020brabussmart.jpg
Crazy how someone spend his money on a Brabus Smart... but well, I already saw some Crossblades around so...

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col021alfa147gta.jpg
147 GTA.. there are a few around, but this one is the only one I managed to find parked. Pic was taken in the dark almost.. Photoshop can do wonders

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col022newa3.jpg
Again, plain car, but it was the first new A3 I saw, and it was from my window ;)

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col023ferrari575m.jpg
You can barely recognize it, but it's a 575M, not a 550... it just took off while I was stopping to take the pic, damn..

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col024ferrari360.jpg
Again the Palace, and I saw that 360 everyday for a whole week I think

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col025twomodena.jpg
Same place, but the Modenas are doubles.. the one in the front had a big damage on the side, but it's hard to see in the pic

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col027golfabt.jpg
Complete kit by ABT for this Golf

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col028bmwe46330.jpg
A nice 330 for sale.. the price was pretty good if I remember well

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col029audirs4.jpg
RS4 for sale

TT
08-28-2003, 12:17 PM
http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col030maseratis.jpg
Maserati garage

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col031maser3200gt.jpg
Same place...

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col032murciandcayenne.jpg
Shit, I missed the Murcielago, but you can see also a Cayenne in the background ;)

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col033bmwz8.jpg
The BMW dealership where I took my car for a check up.. and a nice Z8

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col034cliov6mk2.jpg
The new Clio V6 Mk 2 near my home

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col035aferrari355.jpg
F355 from my window

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col036porsche996turbo.jpg
I wanted to shoot a Bentely in front of it, but got the Turbo instead..

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col037golfr32.jpg
Golf R32

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col038mercsl500.jpg
Nice SL500 with sporty Micra in front :P

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col039porschecarrera.jpg
Porsche sleeping in a shopping mall

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col040aferrari360.jpg
The Porsche was at "-2", this one was at "-3".. nice :)

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col041cl43carlsson.jpg
CLK 43.. full CLK vy Carlsson.. I suppose it costed a lot of money.. nice sound it had

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col042porsche996turbo.jpg
Another Turbo

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col043impreza.jpg
This Impreza got many mags covers around the world, and its owner lives here in Lausanne

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col044tunednewa4.jpg
A nice A4 for sale

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col045imprezawife.jpg
Marry me!

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col046e46m3.jpg
Another E46 M3

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col047griffith.jpg
Rare Griffith

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col048arnage.jpg
And here is the Bentley I missed before

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col049boxster.jpg
Not rare, but it had nice wheels.. to bad I didn't shoot the pic from the side.. dumb me..

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col050astracoupe.jpg
Very nice bodykit, to bad the car is black and you can't see it proprely

http://www.flytrap.it/public/ttsib/col/col051z4.jpg
Again from my window.. the same guy that had the 355.. he also had a 348 here some days ago... no idea if he runs a garage...

I wish I had a digital camera. Need to get one soon. We have so many nice cars in Toronto. If you know where to go. There is this little place here which looks so European with fancy restaraunts, and two expensive hotels there are lots of good cars there on weekends.



P.S They are openinig a Ferrari/Masserati dealership 10minutes away from where I live, damn, Im gonna be there every day.

Nice pics there! Life in Lausanne looks good to me.

The pics remind me of the way I walk or drive. Minding traffic, but always scanning everything that drives by for something special. It can be cars just a little special (an Alfa Romeo 156 in a nice colour with beautiful wheels for instance) or very rare (I come across a certain Maserati Bora here often). It just makes my day.

It's probably the Merc that has squeezed himself between the 355 and the car before him. I guess he reasoned like me: If you don't have much space, then park your car closer to the most expensive one. He will definitely drive out of his space a lot more cautious. Free tip! :D

Yesterday I did it last..
2 or 3 cm between my car and the newest 3.30
But she parked so wrong.. Thats why I did it..

TT
09-04-2003, 02:19 PM
Yes, of course I never park beside a crappy car, full of sign of a careless driver ;) But well, just to keep my car safe, I doubt i'll risk that much :P

LOL, the Turbo was just parked there ;) but since behind it there is the driveway to the main entrance of the Palace Hotel, he had to go as close to that thing as possible ;) as for the lady, nope.. I had her in my rearview mirror for a good 5 min, blonde, in her high 30s, very nice indeed, but it was impossible to take a pic of her ;)
