Hey guys! A special topic this time in stead of the regular update. Here are some of my best sightings I could catch on camera in the past 3 years. 8) All were taken on the ‘open road’ and not at or around a dealership (parking or whatever) I have also seen other exotics but wasn’t able to make a photo of them. :cry: But enough talking; here are the pictures with a small explanation why I think this is a nice sighting. :D

Let’s start: The number 1 is not my favourite it’s just a collection :wink:

1. Dodge Viper GTS (2004 Paris, Champs Elyees) One the most famour American muscle car there is. Never saw one again.

2. Ferrari 365 Daytona Spider(2004 Paris, near the Champs Elyees) , one of the most expensive Ferrari’s I read. One 127 were made.

3. Bentley Continental GT (Amsterdam 2005 , PC Hoofstraat ) A red Conti GT! The most unusual colour for a this car I think. Saw the car and was stunned because the colour, started running down the hole street to catch him and the waited at the red light for me! ) That’s why I like this car, the strange colour!

4. BMW M Coupe (Almelo 2005) never seen one and now this one! Awesome car, nice colour and the BBS-rims are lovely! The owner was caught by the police when he drove 270km/h aloud on the highway to Almelo :D

5. Bentley Arnage T24 Mulliner (Amsterdam 2005, near the PC Hooftstraat) Bentley Motors is pleased to announce a limited run of special Bentley Arnage Ts to commemorate Bentley's historic sixth win in the Le Mans 24-hours. Just 24 of these cars will be offered for sale in the US, while a handful will be built for the UK and Continental Europe. With extensive use of carbon-fibre and the replacement of much brightwork with body-coloured panels, the T-24 will have a unique appearance and be the most sporting-looking saloon ever to be designed at Crewe.

6. Maybach 57 ( Amsterdam 2005, near the PC Hooftstraat ) Impressive car and extremely expensive. So care is huge! More then € 500.000 the car cost in The Netherlands! Sadly a bit boring looks.

7. TVR Sagaris ( Amsterdam 2005, PC Hooftstraat ) No words needed I think, awesome looks, awesome sound. Extreme car!

8. Rolls Royce Phantom ( Amsterdam 2005, PC Hooftstraat ) At that moment the Gucci store was closed. Then this Phantom arrived, the owner ; the best lawyer you can get in The Netherlands. The Gucci store was reopened only for him. The car is huge and I think it has fabulous looks! Love this car!

9. Ford GT40 (Zandvoort 2005 ) The car went to the circuit, chased the car for about 5 min on the bike. This is the only picture I could take. A real classis with a great story.

10. Porsche Carrera GT ( Almelo 2005 ) This car has the best noise there is! Damn what an awesome sound this car has. One of the best Porsche’s ever made and also one the most beautiful! No it’s not a stretched out 911! The Porsche with the most passion! One my favourites I’ve seen on the open road.

11. Ferrari F40 ( Bergen 2005 ) Not the best looking Ferrari most people say this is the best Ferrari ever made, didn’t know what to say when I say this beauty! Maybe one of my top 5 favourite sightings ever.

http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/3153/p92557228vb.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

12. Brabus S v12 ( Paris 2005 ) Mean car! A the Hotel Intercontinental , one of the most powerful saloons you can buy today. I love Brabus, just pure & brutal power with ‘maffia’ styling. Like there style, especially in black!

13. Aston Martin V8 Vantage Le Mans V600 ( Paris 2005 ) At Hotel Crillon, the owner was just leaving. The last batch of the V8 Vantages produced commemorated the marque's 1959 LeMans victory. The LeMans V600 is a special limited edition of the V8 Vantage powered by a 5.3 litre twin supercharged V8 engine that produces a staggering 600hp.

14. Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG (Paris 2005) At Hotel Four Seasons , this is my favourite AMG. Bad looks!! Just love the raw power of this car, had one the experience with an 500bp ’55 AMG and that was already brutal! 1000nm for a car is just awesome!

15. Porsche 9FF ( Warschau 2005) This car had the world record of being the most fast car in the world! The sound is awesome and the looks are also very nice! It maybe looks like a ‘regular’ Porsche GT2 but this car has 820bhp! Fleischmann told me this ‘BTW, that car now has 820BHP, the owner latelly got those BBS rims from 9ff for lending them his car so they could test it's top speed on the Nardo. He is about 25 years old’ The picture is perfect I think! Also one of my favourite’s! 8)

I've seen that 9FF in that very spot so many times but it still excites me every day. Excelent shot as well, with the church in the background. And yeah, does 820 BHP sound great :D

some awesome sightings u have had over the past few years! the GT40 is super rare! I am sure it is not too hard to see great cars in paris, but these stand out over your 'average' 360 or 355... :wink:

It seems like the Hooftstraat in A'dam is quite the place to spot some exotics! Great sightings!
