Ok I spent exactly 65 minutes placed on that roundabout!

Sadly the day was crap :( not much light and no sun=no supercars most of the time...
No light means higher ISO (to keep the shutter fast enough) -> crappy quality :(

Still some interesting sights :D

This one was crazy! I saw this F355 while coming back home, did my usual U-turn and floored my poor car to reach it in time.. it was the first car at a red light as you can see:

The light turned green, the 355 driver really GUNNED the first 3 gears.. as you can see the limit there is 70 km/h and he was doing way more than that at the end of 3 gear :D
As for the biker, 1 second after this pic he pulled a WHEELIE!! And of course he had no problem in keeping up.. crazy shit!

You're lucky to see these cars in only 65 minutes !! I could stand all the day in my city on any roundabout without to see a single Ferrari :(

Amazing sight, a countach, damn wich I saw one of those on my vacation in Italy. Saw some other nice one's and got a couple of pics. Not that much since the batteries went dead after half an hour :cry: :cry: Missed a GT3RS because the goddamnfucking batteries just went dead, you can believe my frustration... It flew by me on the German autobahn, and stopped at the same gas station, so I had plenty of time to see it from closeby.

The old timer is a Audtin Healey indeed, a 100/6 or a 3000...

07-19-2004, 09:16 AM

Thanks :) I was guessing so.. but basically I guess "Austin Healey" for every small old timer I see :D

wow a countach! a great siteW and 22x zoom! :o
but why do the pics look a llittle "dotted", ive see other of your pics and they dont look like that....
the ferrari 355! :shock: its definety my reachable dream car!
thanks !!

As I wrote, the grain is due to the high ISO setting (200).. I was forced to use such high ISO because there was no sun, and with the usual ISO 50 the shutter was working at like 160 milliseconds, to slow -> blurry pics... and since light was changing, even ISO 100 wasn't enough... so just to be sure I went for the 200 (god I guess how they would turn out with ISO 400...)... but next time it isn't sunny I won't bother :D

Wonderful sightings, TT! The Countach may well have been at quite some distance, but I hope you got to hear that amazing sound nonetheless. :wink: An F355 being gunned through the first three gears also delivers some great sounds...

I never get tired of 308s and 328s as well. :D

07-19-2004, 01:04 PM

Sadly no.. it was far away and there was traffic near me.. and since he had a pretty normal start, no sound reached me :(

I'm going out hunting cars on wednesday I think, If the weather is good. Take a little trip with the bike in town. :D

See if I can match any of these sightings of TT, Ferrari ain't that common in Stockholm. :oops: :oops:

Dang I must admit the idea didn't cross my mind, but indeed sooner or later somebody will end up pissed off at me :D

LOL i'm sure JW members will bail you out :P :wink:.... Bit late saying so but nice pics... i particularly like the effort you put in to get the countach you had to be very quick and how you managed to abuse you car to take the pic of the F355 great commitment shown there :P :wink:
