OK, 100% Monaco pics in this (and the a couple more probably) update :D

As always, by clicking one of these pics you will end up on the page with all the high-res (20 pics)

Let's start with something simple.. RS6.. actually I can see then way easier around here, but also in Monaco they are pretty common :D

A couple of nice Bentley couples ;)

A sweet and classic F575M on the famous Place du Casino

Now, you wouldn't think I could avoid some dealership shooting, would you? Indeed, so here is a sweet Murcielago.. sadly only a few days later, it was gone to be replaced by a roadster but well..

While walking toward the port it was an ordeal.. tons of nice cars passing in both directions.. I was shooting at 2272 pixels only to fit more pics on the memory card, so not big enough to do some proper cropping, but it is still acceptable and I managed to get some nice ones like this CLK55 AMG as clean as it can get ;)

In front of the Mercedes dealership, yet another CLS.

Oh, and what's inside? My second SLR.. sadly 100% of them inside a dealership, but still not bad right? ;)
http://www.jabbasworld.net/photopost/data/504/83Mercedes-Benz_SLR_McLaren_071-med.jpg (http://www.swisscarsightings.com/updates/updates058.html)

Same spot of the CLK basically, different car.. a black C4S with black rims, YUM!
http://www.jabbasworld.net/photopost/data/504/83Porsche_996_Carrera_4S_086-med.jpg (http://www.swisscarsightings.com/updates/updates058.html)

And the C4S from the last update from another angle ;)
http://www.jabbasworld.net/photopost/data/504/83Porsche_996_Carrera_4S_087-med.jpg (http://www.swisscarsightings.com/updates/updates058.html)

Maybe you'd prefer a Turbo?
http://www.jabbasworld.net/photopost/data/504/83Porsche_996_Turbo_235-med.jpg (http://www.swisscarsightings.com/updates/updates058.html)

or a Turbo Cabrio?
http://www.jabbasworld.net/photopost/data/504/83Porsche_996_Turbo_cabrio_038-med.jpg (http://www.swisscarsightings.com/updates/updates058.html)

And let's conclude this update with the pimpin' Rolls :D
http://www.jabbasworld.net/photopost/data/504/83Rolls_Royce_Phantom_025-med.jpg (http://www.swisscarsightings.com/updates/updates058.html)

Enjoy!

Thanks alot for the update, great pics as we expect from you :D The 575 is gorgeous, and I really like the pics of the 996TT :D
Is there still more to come from the Monaco trip?

[TT]

Yes dude, around 70 pics :D so basically the next 3 updates and part of the 4th :D

[1zippo1]

Very nice indeed TT.

I presume you had a good time in Monace :D

A white Phatom is a very rare sight indeed. And 2 times 2 Bentleys together... I've only seen one Arnage in my life.

The black rims suit the 996 perfect. I love porsches with those rims, there's one allways driving in my town but the car is in purple :?

Thx for the picture-report on your trip to Monaco!!

[|Nuno|]

Great pics TT, thanks for posting them. :D

[komotar]

holeee shit.

I have to pay Monaco a visit.

all the cars look so good.....

and the white rolls.....boy o boy, lost for words

thx dude!

[TT]

We should organize a JW get together in Monaco one day :D so we could have a hunter at every hotel/dearlership/important crossroad :D

About my site, lately I worked a bit on the archives and dealerships/events part.. the sections were too big with too many pages so I did various subcategories for Audi, BMW and others, and now the events are splitted between 2003, 2004 and 2005.. IMO better but I was wondering if it is too long now to actually reach the needed section LOL!

I need also to work on the Mercedes part now.. splitted only between AMG and "not AMG", but not both of them are around page 4 and growin LOL

[adamwich]

Thanks a lot TT! Beautiful Pictures!
Can't wait to visit Monaco again!

[stmoritzer]

very nice pics, TT
especially the Lambo surrounded by the mirrors and the RR
or
the sun reflection on the black 911Turbo

:D

[Mopsdrops]

damn !!! so much nice cars, and such great pictures !! but that Phantom is so ugly . nice

[sndr]

wow 2x an Arnage green and red label really nice :D

[crasherror]

Monaco must be the richest place on the planet. I would love to see some of those cars just parked on the side of the road. I love the way the Rolls looks. it has so much road presence. it make every thing seem so trivial.

[Mers]

Hey TT, lemme ask you a question:]
Did they let u in the Ferrari Dealership?
Last time I went there, i went in, saw a few cars, and as i found a staircase up, this guy told me I couldn't go in, and I was pissed...
I dunno why, but it's rather strange isn'1t it?

[Wutputt]

Thanks for the update. Those Bentley combo shots are great. Don't look lovely together? :D I also really like the Murciélago pic with the reflections in the window. That's a very great pic, certainly because it's not that easy to take a pic in a mirrored room without the photographer being reflected in one of the mirrors.

No, I got there at noon, it was closed already and had no time to wait, but I think the upper part is not really open to public (they had at least an Enzo in there, I saw it from the road), you can usually access the workshop easily and also the showroom down below.

Hotel? Right behind the Ferrari there is just a bar, and what do you mean with "weird"?

Sorry for not being more specific. That big building. It looks....I cant describe it...the color of it makes it look...strange? Whats the name of that Hotel? I wanna check out their site also if they have one. :D

[TT]

no Hotel dude.. the little building you see on the left is part of the bar.. it's the Cafe de Paris, you can see it in this pic too, right part: http://www.swisscarsightings.com/bentley/Bentley%20Arnage%20026.jpg

Is this the one you mean?

Ah okok, if it looks strange it is just because it was in full sunlight while the main subject wasn't.. so basically it's just that.. and it's no hotel, one of the many (ugly) appartment buildings you can find in Monte Carlo :?

Ah! I see its similiar to a Condinminium. ( SP? ) I am beting they are better than the ones here in the US! :D Is the temperature warm in the winter time also? Here in FL its usually like 60 and lowest at times was like 28? But usually its like 60 - 70 during winter in most times and parts of FL. Today it was pretty warm! :D I was gonna wear shorts but as usually had to make a damn run for it since I was on Jabbas World until 12 AM I think? :lol:

Yeah, I was there, and I could see a 512BB and what I think was a 288GTO (it was definitely not a 308) from the street....but no permission to go up...

[raphaelws]

I'm a fan of F575..
thanks!!
That 911(I think it's a Cambrio).. is very nice too!

[mike_sayer]

Yeah those black rims on that 996 look sweet, there's a 996 turbo that lives just down the street from me that is all black, with black rims and heavily tinted windows - can't decide whether it looks incredibly mean or incredibly ridiculous...

Well, it's pretty hot compared to here.. let's say those days, in Lausanne it was around 5 C (51 F), in Italy where we had the Hotel in the 10 C (50 F) and in MC almost 20 C (68 F).. these days it is more like 10-15 C, and they even got some snow some days ago, but definitely Mediterrean weather :D and something like 340 sunny days per year :D

Definitely mean if the owner doesn't wear a pink cowboy hat :D and definitely time to take some pics of it :D (not the hat :D)

Really nice 996 TT ! The background is superb. :D

[TT]

Hard not to have a good background in MC :D

[salegosse]

Nice.
Did you make shot of the Orange gallardo ?

[TT]

No, the two Bentley were to close too it, and on the other sides there are walls or windows, and if I can't have the full car in the picture I'd rather not take it :D

[Schwalbe]

Hard not to have a good background in MC :D

yeah this is so true, all the town is perfect for photography ! :D

[salegosse]

Not really... :?

[TT]

First time you will be around here I will take you for a quick tour and then you will tell me if it's better MC or Lausanne/Geneva :P
