Feb 17: Bugatti EB110, Khamsin, Vette, Brabus...

[TT]

Back in time, last pics from April 2005 :D and definitely some interesting sightings.

click any preview to see the full 20 high-res pics update

For a start, a couple more pics from my Lambo friend collection.. sorry if I torture you with couple more pics of one of the GTR ;) but the open doors lineup was cute. The old Brabus 600SEL is owned by him too, and I love older Brabus models!

This was for sure the highlight of the Spring/Summer. Even if it was placed like shit, to spot an EB110 is something totally mad. This one caused many discussion on a french forum because it could be the one on which Rinspeed based one of their concept back in the 90s, maybe reconverted to normal specs.. sadly I didn't take enough pics, especially of the interior, for the experts to be sure...
It was somebody attending the Lamborghini Open doors BTW ;)

Not too fond on the bling wheels, but this generation of Vettes was so sexy!

Lotus Seven.. honestly I don't remember where I spotted this one.. probably it was somebody attending some event.. still rare on the road :good:

Pretty rare to see green 996.. if it's a C4S, even better :D

And lastly, a super Khamsin, something you never see on the road nowaydays!

[chest3r]

Woohh!!! What a great update!!! :o :shock:

That Brabus 600SEL is awesome!!! :shock: Too bad there's only one pic :roll:

The old Vetter is damn sexy too. Those wheels look great with the black body 8)

The Lambo line-up picture is stunnig, and that green 996 C4S is something very rare.... and it doesn't look bad at all.

[ARMAN]

:P mmmmmmm3 :mrgreen: awsome sight eb110 :o is it the one you were chasing on the bike? :)

[stmoritzer]

n/p for the two Diablo pic, they look nice with the open doors

Rare sight the EB110 :P , congrats
do you know by chance the ZH plate number?
the light conditions were a little tricky with the bright sunlight, but who will complain if you see a EB110 :wink:
the green C4S is nice too

I like the 360 infront of the Boutique

Thanks TT for the update!

[dingo]

I'm not much of an EB110 fan, but it is indeed an amazing sighting and one I surely won't ever accomplish in Perth. :D

The 996 C4S is just sublime, I love that car and the green is actually nice on it IMO. :good: Nice 360/3200 combo pic too!

Thanks for the update. :D

[salegosse]

Yeahhh EB110 :|
Like the brabus to !

[esbolico]

love the eb110, and th vette
thanks

[TT]

did you take any more photos of the Khamsin?

that's a VERY rare sight and one of the most beautiful supercars EVER!
...

I know it's rare and I adore this car. Sadly we were stopped at this red light, so only a single angle possible, and anyway right after having shoot the pic the light turned green, he went his road and I had to take the highway.. so ... :bah:

...
btw is it the new camera, or you what improved the pics qualitty on last in-depths since early 2005? :lol:
...

Nope, I started using the new camera in November, so we have several months of street sightings still featuring the old Pro 1 :!:
I think I was just paying more and more attention to details while shooting the pics :bah:

:P mmmmmmm3 :mrgreen: awsome sight eb110 :o is it the one you were chasing on the bike? :)

LMAO, nope, that one was black and will follow someday :D

...
Rare sight the EB110 :P , congrats
do you know by chance the ZH plate number?
...

Dang, nope, I didn't keep the originals :( and that day I was "alone" there, so I can't tell you to ask Darkel if maybe he still has them :(
Can't even remember if it was a garage plate or not...

[Darkel]

so I can't tell you to ask Darkel if maybe he still has them :(
This episode is still painful, may I suggest you not to talk about it anymore :mrgreen:

[TT]

Dang, indeed quite shitty to know the first day it was there and then disappeared :(

Well, at least it was worth to cover the distance twice for me :P

[Pehtren]

Your friend has a really nice collection :D

Do you have any more of the three lambos pics :)

thanks for the pics, i too think that the old S brabus looks very good :P

[TT]

No more pics of the Lambos but I think some more will come later ;) I was quite often there :)

[stradale]

Excellent! Even though it was positioned less than perfect, the EB110 was absolutely stunning. From rear 3/4 view the lines are so pure and powerful. Can't say the same about the Veyron... :(

Too bad you were unable to shoot more pics of the Khamsin. Those cars are simply gorgeous.

[harryo2b]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!! :shock: That EB110 is sweet! Certainly the color for a Bugatti, nice pics TT.

[Pehtren]

No more pics of the Lambos but I think some more will come later ;) I was quite often there :)

hehe, if my friend had this :drool: collection, i would be there all the time :P :lol:

[TT]

It's the same for me :) and apparently summer could bring a new Lambo to the stable :P

[stradale]

^^^ Another one?! :shock: That's just crazy... How much would that make in total?

[Pehtren]

^^in the picture i see three lasmbos, the coming one could be the forth 8) ??

At the moment he owns the two ugly GTR, the 6.0, the Murcielago and the blue Gallardo LM. Actually one of the GTR is already gone by now, and probably before a new one will come, even the second could go ;) so he could end up owning "just" 4 Lambos at the end of the process ;)

^^^ Another one?! :shock: That's just crazy... How much would that make in total?

Well, I got this blue GT, the black GT that will follow, as long as this blue, dutch SS:

and this grey SS:

that's it for now ;)

[Wutputt]

The EB110 just is a superb sighting! As is the Khamsin. You really meet some great cars on the Swiss roads :D btw, the GT2 wing looks out of place on the white 930. It just is too big for a 930.
