12 May - DB7, DB9, Bently GT, Ferrari

[davide]

Today, the birds were singing, the sun was shining, I had a day off and what suits more perfect than some car-hunting. Stockholm isn't very represenative here at JW so here's my shots for today. I tried to focus on the more rare cars rather than snapping of 20 pictures on the same looking porsches.

First and second sighting, 350z blue and silver. That blue is gorgeous...

Haven't seen so many Ferraris because it's early season, but saw a 456 GT (I think..). The pictures didn't came out that good, it was in the shade and all went crap...

I had a run out on Djurgården where I knew there was a GT parked, I've seen it before. But didn't have the guts to walk right into their driveway so I snapped a fast one from the street.

On Strandvägen (nice street, crazy expensive apartments) are always filled with nice cars. One car that brought my attention was this cayenne turbo with a nice set of rims. And can someone tell me if this a stock turbo? Looks a bit lowered to me...

And now the highlight of the day! I've seen the DB9 before, without my camera though ("pics or stfu"), so I was happy to see it today! Got high res- 1600x1200 if anyone are interested. Just wanna show what to see in Stockholm. And btw, the car is soooooo gorgeous!!

The Aston Martin is pretty rare in Stockholm, so I was pretty amazed when I found a DB7 Vantage a few streets away from the DB9.

Hope this will give you an idea how the cars in Stockholm can look like. Sorry for the crappy shots, but lighting was horrible but I hope that's okay.
Later in spring/summer, I'll bring you some more shots. I've heard that there's 2 Carrera GT cruising around in Stockholm, so I've got my target locked!
And when I'm out hunting, my bicycle is my mean of transportation, light and flexible :D

Wrong code for all the pics beside the bike one ;)

Some nice cars, I love the 456! But why did you hide the plate in one picture and not in the other ones? :P

edit - code fixed, you were quick ;)

[davide]

Fast as a ferret!

I knew I had forgot something.. doh!
fixed now..

[PureEuroM3]

Nice bike :wink:

[davide]

The bikes is almost 6 years old.. still does the trick though :)

BTW, I adopted the bike now too! For the first time yesterday in Geneva, I parked the car and instead of walking around like always, I rented (it's free actually), a bike near the lake and I discovered you can fucking hunt down cars like it should :D I managed to follow a Phantom I would have missed by feet, untill it parked somewhere :D

Nice sightings, good to see some cars from places we don't see so often :wink: The 456GT is beautiful and classy, and the DB9 is one of my favourites - thanks :D
If possible I would like the 456 and DB9 pics in 1600x1200, thanks :D

[duko]

Awesome pics :D.. The DB9 and 456 are great :D
Thanks for the pics :)

[Wutputt]

Nice, a DB9 and a DB7 Vantage not far from each other. The 456 GT is nice as well. Maybe the light wasn't that great when shooting it, but the pics came out ok. They're not crap ;) :D

[adamwich]

Very nice DB9 pictures! Thanks
