[callen]

man great pictures, u saw nearly everything anyone could wish to see, except an enzo :( but ur lucky to have seen all those! :D

[Mers]

I actually saw a carrera gt and a black scaglietti...the first time i went there...but i had no camera

[BADMIHAI]

Wow! The SL65 is gorgeous. IMO nothing there touches the F40. Definitely my pick from all of those cars.

[Sachmo12345]

what is going through the air in the picture of the 550

[Mers]

what is going through the air in the picture of the 550

Bird shit in the window of the car actually

[T-Bird]

is it just me or is the rear camber really fucked up on the black 575?
And that is one of the first Corvettes :shock:

[23790554]

what did you do to get kicked out of the Ferrari dealer?

[Mers]

went in :lol:

[SandyDingos]

Awesome pics! Looks like you had fun on your trip, I wish I could have been there.

[Chaos in 1983!]

wow man...awesome pics...I have to go back to monaco...shit!

[Fleischmann]

Wonderful pictures!! The 360 and the Continental one looks as if there cars were specifically placed there to take photos. It's a shame, coz the only cool cars I saw when in southern France was a Z4(my first), a 550 and a Testarossa (which my dad overtook on the motorway :twisted:)

[Darkel]

Nice sights ! Makes me remember of my last week trip (also at the cote d'azur) :wink:

[possessed_beaver]

nice pictures that F40 in the tunnel would of been amazing,
damn cote d'azur is somewhere i rely want to visit.

no offence but i think you need a new camera man, the pictures are pretty bad quality.

[Mers]

It w3as a cell phone...but the night shots really sux....not my fault, i actually saw the cars so....

[Mers]

wow man...awesome pics...I have to go back to monaco...shit!

if u do, make sure you go on a weekend...saturdays are the best shot (when I saw the scaglietti and the f40 and the carreraGT)
And do not forget to go to the casino, the luxury hotels (near the casino), the tunnel, the avenue where the automobile club and the finish line is(main street) and the car museum(near the shopping centre)
That is a pretty basic guide to whoever wants to go to Monaco see cars...enjoy!

[SilviaS15Cwest]

I like the alfa giulietta spider alot. That is an awesome little car.

[ae86_16v]

Very nice pics.

By the way, what does Cote d'Azur mean?

I remember that GT3 had a track named after that and it was basically the Monaco GP.

It basically means 'Blue Coast",...
It's the name of the region of the maritime Alps in france...(Cannes, Nice, Monaco...)

[Darkel]

Basically, then ...
Because "Azur" isn't really blue, I know that the online translators translate it by blue but I can't explain it

[Mers]

It's like coast of the blue sea...something like that...but I don't have a real good french...

[davide]

Dude, serious pics!

wonderful!

Monoaco is the prime city to spot some of the most coolest and expensive cars in the world. I'm dying to go there again.

[Darkel]

Mers >> "cost of the blue sea" is a quite good translation, I can feel the difference between blue and azur but I can't find the appropriate word in english
I just have to finish uploading my pictures and there will be another monaco thread :wink:

[adamwich]

Thanks, great pictures.

Try to imagine living in Monaco!! :shock:

[Darkel]

I couldn't live in Monaco, I think we need to keep our dreams alive; one weeks/year OK but not more

[adamwich]

I couldn't live in Monaco, I think we need to keep our dreams alive; one weeks/year OK but not more

I could.. But I should live in a big apartment and have a Ferrari in garage!! :D

hmm, I kinda agree with darkel here...
You have to be damn rich to live there, because even though there is no taxes, EVERYTHING is very expensive.... you would lead an expensive life, but with a ferrari, who cares right?

[Darkel]

I didn't say that because of the money it would cost but because of the cars we usually see there; after some weeks there, what car can we wait for ? A Koenigsegg ? A McLaren F1 ?
What a boring life that would be ! :|
