Ok, I have three "in depth" in the updates pipeline, but I realized I didn't post many streetsightings lately and my website is basically a streetsightings one at the base, isn't it?

So, let's jump back to april and let's see what I saw in Geneva that day:

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

It was a superb sunny day, I still remember it very well, and simply because that day I saw my first Miura on the road :love: :love: :love: :love: of course this update his basically just about the Miura :D

But there was also another sexy yellow car in town, this 550:

This is not so nice, and badly placed, but it's a De Tomaso Longchamps spider and it's rare!

Again the Elise that was in a past update.. I loved it and if I am not wrong it's the previous car of the guy that was at our meeting with the krypton green one ;)

And another "first"... first Morgan Aero 8 on the road, sorry for the bad quality (same goes for the Z8 picture which is even worst LOL)

Ahhh finally the Miura makes in to an update.....I still remember the story of you abandoning the car and running for the sexy lady (the car). :P

It sure is a rare sight on the road, and looks damn stunning!!! :love:

I also really like the 2nd pic of the 550, with that strange tree in the background. :D

10-11-2005, 07:24 PM

One of the rare times when I could abandon my car and come back to it with no fine under the whipers.. usually there is one :?

10-11-2005, 08:02 PM

Well, I didn't get that many fines actually, but 3 or 4 kinda nasty ones (car sightings related) in the past year are plenty enough.

As for the Morgan and Z8, the picture was very grainy and I had to pass it through Neat Image, loosing quality .

10-11-2005, 08:10 PM

The Morgan a special version.. well every Morgan is a bit special I guess since not tons of them are produced. This is BTW a roadster with the hardtop and not the coupé if I am not wrong

OMFG!! :shock:

Those Miura pics are superb :o The sun and the color helped a lot :P

I see that you had to be in the middle of the road to take some pics. Be careful :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

That DeTomaso looks really cool. The only model I knew was the Pantera, wich I love 8)

10-11-2005, 09:20 PM

Yes dude, I was indeed in the middle of the road for quite some time, but hell, that's a Miura ;)

Niiiice spotting!!! Beautiful pics as usual TT. I'm pretty sure that that's a Morgan Aero 8 GTN, the two-tone paintwork and side-exit exhausts are a dead giveaway.

After opening the update92 page, the page was full of yellow cars :D
(but not modern LAmbos or Porsche GT3, as one cxould expect :wink:)

the Miura is for sure the sight of the day!! And the waether conditions were great too, awesome pics!

The Aero8 (or GTN ...) is rare, lucky you to catch it

Thanks for the update TT

The Lotus looks sooooo bad ass 8) 8)

The 550 looks nice. Unusual colour, but nice...

The Miura will be on my desktop for a while 8)

For the Elise, you can find a pic of the front in a previous update ;)
For the 550 it was impossible, there was an obstacle right in front of it

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Miura :love: :D

That really is an amazing sight. The best pics IMO is the one taken from the ground seeing the back and side of the car. It really gives a got impression how low the car is.

I never knew there existed a spider version of the Longchamps. That's new for me :) And the Morgan Aero8 pic actually is really ok. I won't call that a bad quality pic, far from in fact ;)

10-15-2005, 04:17 AM

Thanks! The Miura for sure inspires quite a lot. Too bad it was sandwitched. Not to talk abou that fucking scooter ruining the side pic :bah:
