Yup another week in Lausanne.. and again, true gems were hard to spot... and when I crossed the first Scaglietti on the road, I had the camera turned down.. the bitch :D luckily I took at least a rearview mirror shot just as a proof :D
Tomorrow I hope for lot of sun so I can spend some time around in search of ppl taking out their beasts only on Sunday ;)

Sadly not many high-res since I took all the pics while behind the wheel so not many of them were really perfect...

The first S4 cabrio I saw in the metal outside a motorshow:

Yet another Focus RS!

A Carrera 4

As for the "signature sized ones":

Obviously at least a new M3 is added to the collection every week ;), and BTW, this very picture is the 700th in my "cars of lausanne" collection ;)

BTW, there was a topic about the Phaeton, wondering if it was a complete disaster or not :D well... as for the number of vehicles sold, yes it was... to see a Phaeton is WAY more rare than to see a Ferrari, but the other day, in the same day, I got two :D

And finally, two pics I took at night after the Portugal vs England match. I was just taking back a rented DVD since as you may know, I don't care about football and we preferred to watch a movie, but since there were lot of Portuguese fans around, it was a nice occasion for some light trails :D Sadly I wasn't planning to take pics so I had no tripod..

Nice pics :) why does the S4 have those wheels??

Too bad for the Scaglietti but I´m sure another one isn´t too far away
