Uhm, as you know I was away and to tell the truth I had more important stuff to do than taking pics.. but of course the camera was always with me, ready to capture interesting stuff :D

This one was actually caught this morning in Lausanne.. nothing frantic, but it does it for me :D

The two M3 were parked one in front of the other :D nice combo

This is the best CSL pic I got to date.. sadly not too many around my area :( but considering it was taken while driving and with a messy windshield, I am pretty happy!

A classy 4200GT

And a Speedster

And here is the 996 I drove the other day!! Hell it is fast as I already said somewhere else! It is by far the fastest car I ever driven and with 300+ hp a pretty fast one overall :D Tiptronic, so no risk at all and easy to have some mindblowing accelerations :D When my uncle told me "your turn" I thought he was joking LOL :D the first pic was taken right after the testdrive :D it was at night and we went up a mountain road with basically no traffic at all :D FUN :D Sadly no time for a proper photoshoot.. maybe next time if he will be a bit less busy!
http://www.swisscarsightings.com/porsche/thumbs/Porsche%20996%20Carrera%204%20012.jpg (http://www.swisscarsightings.com/updates/updates033.html) http://www.swisscarsightings.com/porsche/thumbs/Porsche%20996%20Carrera%204%20013.jpg (http://www.swisscarsightings.com/updates/updates033.html)

This 996TT from Dubai cruises around Lausanne since a year at least but never really got a proper picture of it.. this one isn't perfect because of that damn advertising panel but better than nothing for now :D
http://www.swisscarsightings.com/porsche/thumbs/Porsche%20996%20Turbo%20163.jpg (http://www.swisscarsightings.com/updates/updates033.html)

And for danny now :D a nice Supra just 5 minutes from here :D

http://www.swisscarsightings.com/variouscars/thumbs/Toyota%20Supra%20014.jpg (http://www.swisscarsightings.com/updates/updates033.html) http://www.swisscarsightings.com/variouscars/thumbs/Toyota%20Supra%20015.jpg (http://www.swisscarsightings.com/updates/updates033.html) http://www.swisscarsightings.com/variouscars/thumbs/Toyota%20Supra%20016.jpg (http://www.swisscarsightings.com/updates/updates033.html)

All the pics link to the same page on my website where you can find the high-res... I am still trying to figure out the best way to post my pics now LOL. Just a thumb with the direct link would make the website worthless or almost... thumbs with a link to the homepage will just raise the counter and will be like cheating :D.. well, I guess for now this is ok.. just details afterall!

I forgot some pics LOL growing old...

What about this taxi? .. no, it isn't burning rubber... the smoke was coming from the exhaust and it went for a long time!

And right near the Enzo

And since now she sleeps near the Porsche and Espace, by my uncle, here is the bike that allowed me to pass my 125 cc license years ago.. built in 1979 and it did barely 8000 km!

haha never mind TT you haven't been back long, LOL i bet that taxi doesn't last much longer!!! As for the ferrari dealers its a shame you have no contacts there to get inside and take more pics, but hey pretty good from outside and its raining by the looks of it :D Even though i know next to nothing about bikes i guess that bike will be worth a fair bit in the future with such low miles? or is it already? :oops: *Bike NooB*

nice pics TT, very sad about the enzo, i hope it is still lookin for a new owner, it would be a tragedy if it was just not being driven. :( btw ur pic of the day...is the ultimate bmw ricer! neway to tell if its a 320,325 or 330 Ci?

Sadly it is owned (it has a license plate Switzerland gives to ppl living here just for a limited amount of time, usualyl 12 months or less.. so maybe just a foreign businness man in Lugano for a while that took his toy there to drive it every now and then.. at least it wasn't exactly in the same exact position as last time..

As for the riced out 3-Series, no idea :D

Thanks for the great pics TT!
Damn Supra is such a beautiful car :)
Sadly there aren't many in Finland :(
But someone just brought a ~700hp Supra and a ~800hp Skyline from Japan and luckily I've already seen both of them twice and damn they sound good :)

On a side note, since a couple of days ago, F1 is again allowed in Swiztzerland (the only form of racing banned here as far as I know)

Thanks for the new pics TT, the 4200 is just superb. :D
I also envy you very much for driving the 996.....wish my uncle had a car like that (only an A4 1.8T and he lives in Germany). :(

10-13-2004, 03:32 AM

Well, so far they had a 5-Series estate and the Espace you can see beside the 996.. having 3 little daughter, they needed family cars, but when the wife's dad had to give away the Porsche I guess he simply couldn't resit :) ... how to blame him? st-anger would be proud :)

I never get tired of looking at the cars in other parts of the world. Its always interesting to see what other people see every day. I need to get my camera workings, because I bet most of the cars thats I hardly take a second look at are all new to you guys that live in europe! :wink:
