Jul 30: Spyker C8 Spyder, Mercedes SLR McLaren...

[TT]

After another big ass meeting, we are back on street sightings my friends. And winter ones.. don't expect nothing major.. or maybe just a couple ;)

Click any preview to be taken to the full 20 high-res pics update, thanks :hello:

For a start, an Alfa Romeo Montreal, I can't say I saw many of them on the road lately, so that was a good suprise

Excalibur Phaeton whatever.. not pretty, but well :bah:

This Maser is definitely better, a 3200GT and the passenger kinda saw me :D

And the best highway sighting I got.. I was ready to shoot a Mondea (balck), when I noticed it was followed by this.. so I had to dump the poor Ferrari (beeing not as rare yet ;) ) I love how the windbraking thing was coming up at that moment!

This was my first E55 wagon as far as I remember.

RS6 are common, RS4 damn common around here, but not easy to get a combo shot with both together :D

If this isn't the best color for a Continental GT, it comes close.. and of course it was a Brit :good:

And in the present form

Basic 997, way less common than the S

A messy Cayenne TT with the right wheels

And finally, the Spyker C8 Spyder.. that's for sure a rare sight :!: even in a dealership!

nice sightings TT :)
the spyker looks pretty damn sexy, and for some reason, reiminds me of a cat-fish...

[pharzo]

Nice pics there :black:

that spyker is really cool looking. The escalade surprised me though :-/

I kinda like the excalibur phaeton...retro

[TT]

...
The SLR is for sure a great sight... even the Mondial would have been nice... :P ...

Whoops.. it was actually a Modena.. what a typo :D

... The escalade surprised me though :-/

...

Well, I probably saw just two or three around here.. and I always shoot rare stuff basically :bah:

[dingo]

That place on the highway seems pretty successful for you so far, the SLR shot is great! :D You obvioulsy only get one chance at a photo so the pressure is on... :P

For some reason I think the passenger in the 3200 looks like a woman, until you see the moustache. :P

I agree with the colour of the Conti GT, along with that light blue colour its probably my favourite. :D

Thanks :D

Very Nice pictures! Love the SLR and 930 Turbo!! The RS4 nd RS6 picture is cool! Saved it :)

[Wutputt]

Good thing you dumped the Modena and went for the SLR. It's a great shot. Those highway sightings seemed to be a really good idea :good:

The Alfa Montreal and Excalibur are some rare sightings, but I'm not really into their styling. It's weird there aren't much E55 wagons around in Switzerland considering the fact you see a RS4 or RS6 Avant at every corner of every street.

And the Spyker is idd a very rare thing to see outside the motorshows.



For some reason I think the passenger in the 3200 looks like a woman, until you see the moustache. :P
LMAO. I was thinking exactly the same: "To bad the passenger of the 3200GT isn't a hot girl instead of that old woman." *looking closer* "What's that thing around her mouth. :shock: It's a moustache!" :lol:

[TT]

HAHA, that 3200's guy is funny also becase he seems to have a big ass pirate earring, which is in fact the rear seatbelt I think

As for the E55 vs RS6 matter.. well, the RS6 is for sure a better all weather weapon thanks to the mighty AWD. But weird that, while the estates' sales are definitely on the Audi's side, for the sedan versions it is the other way around: not as many RS6 sedan than E55 :bah:

[Schwalbe]

Thanks TT for the RS4 & RS6 combo pix. You, yeckmohr, Dani and Wutputt are my official professional High-Res RS pix provider. :wink:

Thanks guys !

[SilviaEvo]

i think the E55 is a limited production run. but nice SLR and Spyker those two are rare cars!
