More winter pictures, more parkings and dealerships... it was cold and my fingers were really begging for some interior shots most of the time ;)

Should I need to tell you you need to click these previews to find the full high-res update?

A very sweet Vanquish!

A lot of Continental GT at the Bentley dealership!

Not bad for a diplomatic car ;)

Always the Bentley dealership, a 550 for sale

Remember this weird beast? A Koenig Mercedes-Benz 560SEC widebody... it's back and I finally found it parked somewhere. You can like it or not, but it's an impressive sight in town!

Frozen SL55 ;)

A Playmouth Duster afaik... probably something totally boring for our US friends, but such cars around here are much harder to spot than Lamborghinis are ;)

And an old Targa :bah:

And finally it's time for the Enzo + MC12 pictures! Focusing a bit on the Enzo (rosso scuderia) for now, the MC12 in the next update

Sexy Vanquish!! :drool:

The Enzo is obviously stunning, but I really look forward to the MC12. :D

I got a bit of a shock on the price of the Maserati 3200GT - about half of what you would pay for one here. :shock:

Thanks for all the pics, the frozen SL55 is my favourite. :wink:

Well, for the 3200 I suppose it is for several reasons.. quite "common" here, pretty low taxes... not a Ferrari/Maserati dealer ...

The taxes issue is right - we get completely ripped off here. :x However I learnt last week that our dealer won an award for the highest Maserati sales 'per capita' in the world - so exclusivity can't be used as an excuse for the high price here. :(

Here is a couple for sale in Australia, ranging from $132K - $150K :shock:

So you'd take a lowly riced out silver star against an enzo, conti gt, vanquish, 550, or m3? :shock: :shock: :P

I saw a blue Conti GT last night in town, but had no camera but it was HIDEOUS!

blue? BLUE?!

If i find it again you'll see what i mean... horrible.

suits perfect in black, silver and aston martin racing green.

The Koenig Merc is the best of the bunch, what a car to own :D

LOL, poor Enzo and MC12! Beaten by a Merc! But well it's still a Koenig I guess.. not everybody's tastes, but a damn rare and exclusive car nonetheless :bah: :)

Finally the MC12 Enzo combo pics. They are great, and I really can't wait for the rest of this combo series :D

That Koenig 560SEC styling isn't really my kind of taste, but it's ultra-rare for sure. Impressive sighting! And to finish the top 3, the sexy Vanquish. It looks great in that colour. No more extra pics of it?

No dude, sadly no more pics. All the pics I take (if not crappy), go on my website :bah: I'm just the kind of guy who really has to concentrate to take more than a couple of pics of the same car :roll:

it's 32° (Celsius) in my place and I'm looking at snow covered cars :wink:

personally don't like the Koenig-Merc, but a rare sight indeed!
Just saw the MC12 in the other update, top pictures (Enzo MC12 combo)

thanks for the update

Yep, it is the parking du Mont Blanc: during the week it is packed with the cars working in the area.. just don't go Saturday or Sunday.. it's deserted :!:
