I had some rotten luck this week, but still got some nice ones I think. :)
Here are my ‘misses':

F612 Scaglietti, I saw it hiding behind the bars and I waited as long as I could but it just never left :(

Then this F360 Spider, sort of got it but not the best pic:

I also saw a 575M flying past, not even time to attempt a picture. :bah:

Then I got this F355 Berlinetta, first one I have seen in Onyx black. :D However it was pretty dark already, so I did the best I could without a tripod…

Aston Martin Vanquish – the Ferrari dealership owners personal ride at the moment :wink:

I heard that the only CL600 in Perth was for sale at the Merc. dealer so I had to drop by for some pics :D I really like the 19” Brabus wheels on it…..

http://img12.exs.cx/img12/406/mercedesbenzcl60034er.th.jpg (http://img12.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img12&image=mercedesbenzcl60034er.jpg) http://img12.exs.cx/img12/1590/mercedesbenzcl60055rc.th.jpg (http://img12.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img12&image=mercedesbenzcl60055rc.jpg)

CLS500, unfortunately it was Sunday so no pics of the CLS55 AMG that was inside :(

http://img12.exs.cx/img12/7012/mercedesbenzcls500253fs.th.jpg (http://img12.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img12&image=mercedesbenzcls500253fs.jpg) http://img12.exs.cx/img12/7255/mercedesbenzcls500267xa.th.jpg (http://img12.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img12&image=mercedesbenzcls500267xa.jpg) http://img12.exs.cx/img12/1641/mercedesbenzcls500275md.th.jpg (http://img12.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img12&image=mercedesbenzcls500275md.jpg)

M Coupe – there are only 3 in Perth (the others both blue) so this is a nice chance to see one:

http://img12.exs.cx/img12/8527/bmwmcoupe12mr.th.jpg (http://img12.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img12&image=bmwmcoupe12mr.jpg) http://img12.exs.cx/img12/6264/bmwmcoupe23da.th.jpg (http://img12.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img12&image=bmwmcoupe23da.jpg)

and an M Roadster gettting some repairs nearby :wink:

E46 M3 – not a big fan of the chromed rims. :? Note the homeless guy in the background – probably dreaming of an M3 :P

http://img12.exs.cx/img12/5789/bmwe46m3608gg.th.jpg (http://img12.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img12&image=bmwe46m3608gg.jpg) http://img12.exs.cx/img12/5822/img03140jq.th.jpg (http://img12.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img12&image=img03140jq.jpg)

One of my favourites – the 645Ci :love: I left the plates as I think they are hilarious :lol:

http://img12.exs.cx/img12/1745/bmwe63645ci108eg.th.jpg (http://img12.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img12&image=bmwe63645ci108eg.jpg) http://img12.exs.cx/img12/7176/bmwe63645ci110lr.th.jpg (http://img12.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img12&image=bmwe63645ci110lr.jpg)

Nothing special, but the new facelifted 7-series has just been released here and I think it’s a huge improvement over the previous look. :D

Cayenne Turbo:

Nice sightings as always, the 355 in black is ice! And the first Cayenne pic is damn cool, too bad for the car in front of it :bah:

BTW, you should try Neat Image for grainy pics, it could help a bit, even if the 355's pics are too grainy to be fixed

I don't think they are stunningly beautiful or anything, but also don't find them that bad. :)

Ok, I've downloaded it so now what do I do with it (which function do I use)? :?

Lovely Vanquish!! The yellow M coupe is a great sighting too. Not much owners have them in yellow.

Too bad it was a bit too dark for the f355. The car looks very nice though!

That tool really works :)
The grain in the under half of the car is gone.

great pics!

Too bad the light was shittiy when you were taking the 355 pics...

I like the M3 coupe. One of my favorite bmw's ever, but yellow doesn't suit the car at all. But on the other hand, the car sure looks different...

Your facelifted 7 series pics made me remember, that I was on the presentation of that car, but I didn't have the camera with me. :cry:


Thx for the pics m8 8)

yes, I was suprised how well it works. I could even remove a bit more noise/grain but the side effect would be more blurriness in certain areas. :|
