[nurbrun]

Well this is the second trip down to Yorkvile this year..and what a trip!!! :shock:

I was only there for an hour this sunday with my cousin(he took a few pics) but that was clearly enough to put aside my supercar needs for this week at least. :D

well anyways here are the pics I hope you guys enjoy them as much as I did :!:

When I first got there i was shocked by this KOENIG TESTAROSSA......

[dingo]

damn...that Koenig is a great sighting, how did it sound?
It seems Toronto is up there with Paris, Geneva and Monaco in terms of exotics on the street :)
Thanks for the nice pics :D

[RC45]

Those early Koenig Rossas were 800hp+ cars.. and if tweaked to Evolution levels were 1000hp+ beasts.

Nice sighting.

[stmoritzer]

wow, that's a lot of nice sights...give me some minutes to have a look at the pics

comments later--EDIT:

wow, I'm jealous, never saw a Koenig so far nor a CGT on the roads.
very rare :D

Suggestion to improve the quality of your pics. I took 3 of your pics and did a quick AutoAdjust using the PhotoEditor of Microsoft.
with 1 click basically you can get rid of the grey shimmer on the pics.
The left side of the pics is modified/the right side original.

Well, to see a Koenig, no matter wich one, is already something RARE! And the Testarossa is probably one of the most frantic! My only Koenig is a damn Mercedes 560SEC :D

Thanks for the pics! Very well done! Too bad for the CGT.. coming after the testa it is like seeing a Boxster :roll:

BTW, the pics are quite grainy. Were you using a very high ISO setting or is it due to something else?

[komotar]

I never saw a Koenig in real life.

Congrats on such a rare sighting! And to se the CGT on top of that!?!

And both in motion. Man, that's priceless!

That black 360 spider is the defenition of sexy.

Yea I know i couldnt belive my eyes when I turned that corner and saw that beauty just sitting there :shock:.......now stmoritzer said that with just one click you can improve the quality of my pics.....may I ask what that one click is, because maybe I could use it in the future to make them background worthy or somthing :D

if you have Photoshop then selecting 'auto level', 'auto colour' and 'auto contrast' will help greatly. They can be found under Image --> Adjustments :wink:
If not then you will need to wait for stmoritzer to help you out with PhotoEditor since I never use it :)

[nurbrun]

Thanks dingo I do have photoshop, and the next post I make will surely be adjusted, thanks for the tip :D

[adamwich]

Some really great pictures! The CGT looks amazing!

Don't forget to check out this little tutorial: http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?p=338288#338288

Also, resizing a pic always help. I am not sure, but I have the feeling the size of the pics you posted is the original one (even if it's a "weird" one), but to resize a 2000 or 3000+ pics into a 1600 or less will also help in smoothing it out ;)

If you have Photoshop, you're fine, it's a powerful tool.

Since I don't have it, I use the standard PhotoEditor coming with the Office package.
This "1click" is the Auto-Balance feature (similar to auto level', 'auto colour' and 'auto contrast' I guess).

In PhotoEditor, go to Menu-Image-AutoBalance and then the Brightness, the Contrast and the Gamma is adjusted, of course you can do it manually as well (preferred).
If you have PhotoEditor, try it out.

Can't wait to see the results.
:D

[Wutputt]

Impressive sightings!! That Koenig Testa is supa-rare. It seems the owner was so friendly to pop up the engine hood for you. And on top of the Koenig you saw a CGT as well, almost unbelievable!! Nice DB9 too ;)

[Pimp Racer]

WHOA! Very nice shots dude!
I love this

Nice pics bruno...I might be able to come with you this weekend. Is that Black porsche the GT3 we always used to see? Well we will talk on msn.

-peace

[Stikz]

wow, nice sightings nurbrun. too bad the weather turned shitty or this would have been a great weekend as well.

[SilviaEvo]

KOENIG!!! :drool:

[callen]

awesome sightings! That CGT is becoming a common sight at the Four Seasons, its the only place I have seen it shot so far, and a few times already! I never understood the facination with going to that hotel when it is obvious you already live in the city?(close enuf neways, very very few ppl outside of the GTA can afford this baby!) I mean is it really that nice? neways I am looking forward to a yorkville visit or two this summer! And I will be sure to get some pics. thanks again nurbrun :D
