Hi
I doubt someone will beat my weekend...
it was the day, the Porsche-fan (me) turned also into a SLR fan. :wink:

it was too cold for skiing (-25°C), so I went to the see the Polo match on the frozen lake of St.Moritz and saw a few :wink: luxury cars like

1 Mercedes McLaren SLR (outside, inside pics, got the black SLR-book) ,my first one!
3 Maybachs on static display (interiour pics taken)
8 Maybachs (57 and 62 ) on the parking,streets
2 Bentley Continetal GT
1 Rolls-Royce
1 VW Phaeton
various AMG's
M55 AMG
G55 AMG, G55L AMG
various Porsche: Cayenne, S, Turbo, 911 Carrera4S, Turbo
AUDI A8 W12 6.0l
BMW X5
.
.
.

I will need some time to resize the pics (670Mb of pics, 4 or 5 vids), so be patient
here are some low size previews.

Awesome collection of cars!!!

That Cayenne is slammed to the ground. A mean creature.

And the SLR goes well with wood. I will buy one and nail it to the floor.

It's a POLO tournament, since 21years, they play Polo on the frozen lake of St.Moritz (on hard snow, of course :wink: )
It's also big High Society event, therefore many luxury cars in the parking lot.
Maybach was a team sponsor, so they had a tent displaying the Maybach and the SLR.
The other Maybachs were used for shuttle service (together with the Mercedes G55-AMG).....

here's the link to the event

I want more of those, please post the rest pics and the videos asap.
As i saw from the previews the rest of your pics they should be great,
i didn't know that polo attracted the attension of such rich people in
a single event!

Wooooooooow, that's just amazing!! Lots of exotics and in the snow, I'm almost fainting :D

I can't wait for the other pics. Those 7 Maybachs on a row is already a superb teaser. If the other pics are also that great, I think my screen will explode :D

Sorry guys, pls be patient
I had a busy week, started editing the pics yesterday... and this weekend, I went again to the Palace Hotel and got 30 pics more of the same SLR (now also covered with salt, so they must have driven around :x during the week) and a 911, a Cayenne, the hotel own RR and a Tuareg...

a black 911 with black rims, the SLR , a boat and the end of the RollsRoyce

TT,
I selected and resized most of the pictures,...
question, what is the best way to cover the number plate of the "private" cars ( I will not cover the plates of the Maybachs and the official Carrier- AMG)

Go here: http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?p=338288#338288 it's my pictures editing tutorial, and near the end of the first post you will see the part about plates masking ;)
it's a detail, but IMO a VERY important final touch. if the plate is masked "like" shit, in a rush, it can ruin a good picture ;)

You are welcome :D

BTW, not wanting to hijack your topic, but today I saw my third SLR (motorshows not included), and the first out in the wild, no showroom, no meeting, no event whatsoever :D

It was parked, nobody around and a little fine too since it was not a parking place LOL

WOW!!!!!!! What a great sighting......a all by itself, just the perfect situation :D I doubt the 'little' fine will worry someone who can afford an SLR :D
