Let's start with a couple of cars got on the highway. I spent days testing if it was a good place where to wait for good cars :D Not really a great start, but once again, it was winter :bah:

Click any preview to find the full 20 high-res pics update

So, an RS4 (actually saw a ton, but at least this one was a nice and rare color)

Haha.....the H2 being used effectively is a rare sight, but still not a car I like. :)

The MC12 pics are great - really would love to see one myself. :( Thanks for all of them. :wink:

BTW, your site seemed extremely slow today for me - usually your pics load much quicker? :?

Uhm.. weird, I just checked my host's server load and it's pretty quiet, both for bandwidth used (around 5 Mbit at the moment) and hits per second.
And my own website isn't under heavy load as far as I can see.
And beeing very close to the servers, it is always damn fast for me, so I can't really do a real check in speed myself. Is it the first time?

Yep its the first time it has happened (that I can remember anyway) - the pics load at about 8-9 kbps (according to the pop-up bar at the bottom in Opera) instead of the normal 150+ kbps. :wink:

However no one else has complained about it - so maybe its just a problem at my end. :?

Thanks for the MC12 pics, TT. I love'm! And the grey colour suits the F430 really well.

I hate you! I have yet to see an MC12 in the real world only at AutoShows supposedly there is supposed to be one associated with our dealer here but that's all I've heard of it.

And Perth isn't really Lausanne suburb, australian servers are always the slowest here, so I guess it also works in the other way :wink:

Anyway here it's still damn fast :)

Its all fine again this morning - so just a minor hiccup. :D

Thats true, but its just that this is the first time its happened. :wink:

Whats wrong with Aussie servers, we can't be that slow? :(

Nice update, TT !
I like the H2 in action pic... :wink:

about the dealerpics, top quality as always. :D
Although the color of the MC12 is hard to get reproduced on the pictures, because it's not a real white, its more pearl or cream.
I went to Foitek garage close to Zürich one week ago and did a similar MC12 shooting, but the garage was more crowded and the light conditions quite tricky.

BTW dude, I think you already said it yourself but not sure.. but do you know the "new" Bentley/Lambo dealership in Zurich will also be the Bugatti importer for Switzerland?

Yes, that's right - another reason to keep good contact to this dealership.
