RAID Suisse-Paris: 300SL, Montreal, SLR, Stratos, MC12, Enzo

[Darkel]

I finally decided to post them right now, I already sorted them out and edited them (82 pics out of 200+ taken :lol: )

That was a really nice day, sunny and hot for once, and in Basel (north-west of switzerland - german speaking part for those who didn't know) it's quite rare, I had never seen that before, it was always cloudy/rainy when I went there :D

Of course the local ferrari dealer (Hasler AG, already went there last year) had to be there ... they brought only 4 cars ... worth 2 millions € together :mrgreen:

As you can see, looks like they don't give a fuck about photographers :?

A nice alfa romeo

There was a little open air area in the middle of the builing (stunning Stratos :shock: )
http://img18.exs.cx/img18/4434/dsc037709tq.th.jpg (http://img18.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img18&image=dsc037709tq.jpg)http://img279.imageshack.us/img279/4268/dsc037657if.th.jpg (http://img279.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc037657if.jpg)http://img279.imageshack.us/img279/4316/dsc037663qh.th.jpg (http://img279.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc037663qh.jpg)http://img279.imageshack.us/img279/3830/dsc037691xy.th.jpg (http://img279.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc037691xy.jpg)

Then I saw where all the cars which were supposed to take part to this event were parked ... again, a nightmare where the word "night" takes all his sense : a dark area in the building, neons everywhere, cars standing 10cm from each other ... LMAO definitely I have no luck those days :mrgreen: Well, I just decided to wait until they start the rally

I was walking around the cars when I noticed something strange, modern cars in the middle of that event, wtf, turned out they had a little VIP party the day before and they brought some nice cars which were still there :D (god bless the pocket tripod, a few pictures were fucked up (grey spyker, F430 spider - a bit too blurry for me) but it could have been worse)

[bmagni]

those 4 cars happen to be an Enzo, f50, f40 and MC 12, even if its just one, its worth it... thnx for the pics

[TT]

Awesome event and very good pictures! The two Khamsin are so sexy! The De Lorean is unbelievably exotic and "back to the future"! I want to see one :!: and that 300SL :love:

Thanks a lot!

[ARMAN]

:shock: wow :faint: whata sights! Thanx Darkel for covering up :wink:

[dingo]

Yep like Dani I prefer the cars around the event - that Enzo is stunning in that colour! :D

Great pictures - thanks! :D

[Darkel]

Yep I understand oldies aren't always successful here but recently I started to love a few of them, the red BMW 507, 300SL, the two Khamshin, Dino, alfa montreal and that impressive Mustang Mach 1 :love:

You probably noticed a green paper in front of a 4200GT passing by; looks like there was another rally yesterday, I've seen a few old RR's and some brand new maseratis with that green thing :hmm:

BTW, the most amazing piece of crap I've ever seen, some kind of an old 911 with a weird body kit, the front looks like a bmw Z1 or some Koenig kit for Ferrari's but all together it's just FUGLY :lol:

Before talking about your post, here's probabely the answer to the green paper

There was a Concours d'Elégance
http://www.raid-suisse-paris.ch/sommer/concours.php

the press pics show these green plates

[Darkel]

Thanks for the information, I hadn't heard about it :)

Let me add this beautiful Alfa Romeo, I first thought it was too dark and noisy to be posted but then I decided to work a little bit with the curves and to use neat image

Great pictures !
As above already said, I like the F40,F50,MC12,Enzo pics, awsome pics (nice reflection of the hall lights) :D

The "new" cars were part of the "by invitation only" Premium Car Show
http://www.raid-suisse-paris.ch/sommer/show.php on Wednesday, lucky you could get pics form there

- SLR in motion, 8)
- Thanks for the MB SL cars, I missed them in Zürich
- De Lorean, very rare!

Thanks for the coverage of the start.

[Astonfan]

nice pics. i like more of the cars around the event than that were in it, but the Delorean and the two older maseratis really look nice

[adamwich]

Simply amazing pictures! Thanks a lot man!

[Wutputt]

The Ferrari dealer only brought 4 cars, that isn't even wort mentioning... :P
:shock: Titanium coloured Enzo, MC12, F40 and F50. Just stunning. No extr apics of this quartet?

As for the event itself, a very nice collection of vintage cars, you won't see on the road often. Thanks for sharing the pics!

[Darkel]

:shock: Titanium coloured Enzo, MC12, F40 and F50. Just stunning. No extr apics of this quartet?

The F40 was 3 meters away from the others, so no pics of the quartet, just one other pic of the row, you can easily understand why I did not take hundreds of pics :|
