A few of my latest sightings, since winter is coming the really nice cars are starting to go into hibernation :(

My first Arnage (the $500K price has something to do with that) on the road, unfortunately just as I was about to take pics of it standing still at the lights the Commodore you see pulled up next to it blocking my shot :x So I have to make do with this shot – I wish I zoomed in more :(

Another Bentley, this time a Continental GT about to run over a couple of ladies :P

I saw it again the next day parked out the front of the holiday home of the Ferrari dealership owner – along with a couple of Range Rovers, HSV’s and an SL500 :D

Only pic of the SL500 isn’t that great – rain, bad light and me being in a rush didn’t help L

And another one:

Then I saw my first CLS500 – they aren’t even on sale until June but this guy obviously got in early somehow :? This is another case where the car looks a lot better in the metal than in pictures – I really like it :D

M3 in white, a bit different from the normal black or silver – I quite like it actually :D Its from Queensland so that would explain it being different :P

Cayenne Turbo in the water – some of you would have already seen this in another topic :wink:

Some old British (I assume) car, the plate says 1939 so I guess that would be the year J

:shock: I like the color of the ContiGT
and the CLS is even better placed near the gras with the skyline in the back - Well done dingo ! :D

I was actually quite lucky - I saw it earlier at the shops and took a couple of pics which didn't turn out very well :( Then on the way to a friends place I saw it parked here - so I deleted the old pics and had some much nicer ones :D

Nice update, dingo. Lovely Bentleys. That ContiGT apparently had to brake pretty hard not to run over those woman, or is it just its 3 million ton weight that gives the impression of braking hard?

Rare M3 colour choice that white, but it actually is quite ok. The Cayenne Turbo in the water pic is terrific but the following one is even superb. It could come right out of a Merc catalogue:

Very well done once again! I agree with the others obviously: the Conti GT color is ice! Very sexy! The CLS shots could be press pics! Stunning, and an original color too!

The Cayenne in the water is damn sexy too as I forgot to say in the other topic I think!

Thanks for the compliments guys, I am also very happy with the CLS pics :D Today in nearly the same spot I saw another Merc - but an even BETTER one :D

It must be the weight, as the brake lights aren't even on so not sure if he planned on stopping for the ladies or not :P I didn't see what happened but since I didn't hear any screams I assume they are ok :P
