Stoopie's carsightings (*UPDATED! 23-05-2007*)

[Stoopie]

Here are the first pictures I took a few mins ago with my new Casio Exilim Z1000! I'm lucky to be living in a street with many exotic car sightings (not too rare though :() so hopefully I'll be able to share them with you all now :D

BMW 745d + Porsche 911 Carrera S

From now on only high res car pics for me :D The pictures are actually too big to upload on imageshack.us so I've got to resize the pictures. I keep the original ones so if you want them, just contact me. Sorry btw for my bad shooting capacities, I'm just a beginner so if any of you guys have tips for making the best shots, please comment!

[TopGearNL]

Pics look ok Stoopie, weather is shit as always in Holland :P

Tips: Try different shooting positions and take the same picture with different settings to learn the best setting in each situation.

Fakeass BMW M5 Touring.. If you can't afford buying an M5, then don't just buy the badge :x

[HarryCASI]

:D one more Exilim! mine is a Exilim EX-Z55...
hope to see more from you!

[Stoopie]

^ Casio r0x ;) Nice camera you have :D Mine makes too large pictures for imageshack, so it's worthless on the net ;) But you can make great pictures with it anyway :D

[pterps]

Are these the original pics or are these compressed?

[Stoopie]

Are these the original pics or are these compressed?

These are compressed. Quite a lot actually, original size was 2,2 mb each (3648x2432). I can take pictures with a wider image, that'll be 3648x2736, but I don't think that would make great pictures.. I can try though, I spotted a M5 (previous model) a few streets away from here, that one will be shot soon ;)

Try less compression, I think the quality of the picture will improve a lot.

[Stoopie]

I just went into my neighbourhood in Nijmegen (which is the city centre ;)) to make some evening pictures. I'm very disappointed with the result, but maybe somebody could give me some tips about taking pictures at night? I tried various settings but the image just keeps getting too blurry IMO.. It's definitely not the camera, I'm sure about that, but I can't keep a steady hand I guess. With the flash on I get real sharp images, but they are a bit too light I think. Opinions plz :D

PS: pterps, the originals are quite the same quality, except for the one from the Carrera S from the front, that one is my best shot for today I guess :P

[TopGearNL]

I think its the settings or you Stoopie, can't imagine its the camera :?

Yes it was, but not these kinda reposts, I was just understating what you said :wink:

[Stoopie]

*sigh* :P

[franck bullitt]

:D one more Exilim! mine is a Exilim EX-Z55...
hope to see more from you!

I even didn't know this brand...so thx for the photos :!: :wink:

[Stoopie]

^ It's Casio, the Exilim series, you probably know Casio :D You'll probably get a bad example from my pictures :P


This is probably the only good example on this page ;)

[Stoopie]

There's a nice XK8 outside my window, but the weather is too crappy to go outside :P Sorry :mrgreen:

[stradale]

The E39 M5 you're referring too is probably the one that's parked on the Bijleveldsingel, isn't it? There's an AM V8 Vantage and an M6 on the Oranjesingel sometimes.

[Stoopie]

^ Yep it is, saw both the M6 and the AM V8 (black, right?) lately. And since a short time there's a F430 Spider (gray, german licenceplates) in Nijmegen too :D

[TopGearNL]

/\/\ Vlaardingen is sich a shithole compared to Nijmegen :P

[Stoopie]

/\/\ Vlaardingen is sich a shithole compared to Nijmegen :P

Ofcourse not :D Every dutch city is great, but some are just a bit more great than the others :lol:

[stradale]

^ Yep it is, saw both the M6 and the AM V8 (black, right?) lately. And since a short time there's a F430 Spider (gray, german licenceplates) in Nijmegen too :D

Actually, I was referring to a grey one. But I've seen that black one as well. I haven't seen the F430 spider yet. I did see a red 360 Spider (dutch plates), a silver F430 berlinetta (dutch plates) and a yellow 550 Barchetta (german plates).

[Stoopie]

^ Cool, I've heard about that grey one as well, a friend of mine told me about it. That same friend told me about the F430 Spider which is frequently parked near the building he lives. I've only seen it once, at night at the KK roundabout, I love that sound :D And I've seen the black DB9 a few times, don't think it's a car from Nijmegen actually, I saw it driving through the tunnel onder the Central Station a few times, that car sounds great in tunnels :D I've seen a silver 456 near your building as well, it was in front of Cafe De Fuik. I want to see that silver F430 berlinetta you saw :D

[Stoopie]

Went outside this afternoon, crappy weather as always, and spotted some nice cars. I could get closer to the Maserati, but the owner was near the car and I didn't have the guts to take pictures while the owner was standing near ;) About the Porsche 996, I think he just went into the parking spot a bit too fast.. I took a close-up of it, the licenseplate came off as well :lol:

[TopGearNL]

Nice pics Stoopie!

The BMW E39 M5 is one of my favourite Bimmers!

WTF did the owner do to his Porsche, I bet it was a woman :shock: :mrgreen:

[Stoopie]

^ Yeah I'd bet that too.. It's a shame :(

[TT]

The new camera doesn't seem at ease with tricky light conditions, but it's normal for a compact camera afterall.. I hope you'll have some sunny days too because your area shows potential and it will be much funnier and easier to practice in good conditions ;)

[stradale]

Stoopie, were there any marks on the lamp post? From the pictures it looks like the damage could have been caused by the car hitting somthing else. There's damage all over the front of the car. I doubt that happened as a result of a parking accident, since parking accidents are usually at low speed, especially when you see the lamp post right in front of you. Then it shouldn't have more damage than a slightly dented bumper.

[Stoopie]

^ Could well be ofcourse. Didn't check for damage on the streetlight.
Just went out again and took some new car pictures, will post later this week.

*edit: but I have to say, the car lost its licenseplate, and it would be illegal to drive it! and on top of that, all the streetlights in that street have been renewed recently..

[Stoopie]

I'm starting my own carsightings site, hope you like it. Ofcourse, the design has to be worked on, but now it at least works. Not too many cars though, but that'll expand (hopefully) as time goes by. And yes I know the URL is stupid, but I don't have to pay for it :)

[mevistox5]

Well, Nijmegen is a very good place to start carspotting apparently. Do you only walk around in the area of the Oranjesingel?

Nico

[Stoopie]

Nico

Yes, for now. That's the area where I live and a lot of lawyer offices and private bankers are situated along the Oranjesingel. I've only been out there to shoot some cars 2 times, and this is the result of it. I've still missed a lot of cars that are recently seen here, and which come around often. I saw a RR Phantom (black) in front of a private banker's office, and a few 360 Spiders/Modena's and a few Quattroportes. But I didn't have a camera yet when I saw those, so I hope to see them around soon. The camera is a ultra compact model so I carry it with me whereever I go :) I've got some exams coming up so I don't have any time to go outside this area really, but in 2 weeks I'll be crawling all over Nijmegen ;)

*edit: and ofcourse, every saturday this city is overflooded with German people shopping here, and they bring along nice cars as well :)

[marktak]

He Stoopie!!! Good to see some pics of my home-town Nijmegen! The pics of the library and the Marikenstraat you made are great. I hardly see some great cars in Nijmegen......but you happened to see some beauty! I envy you for that. Grtz Mark

Drive around more.... Porsches, Maserati's, Ferarri's , DB9's (and very oddly a Lotus). They are all there..........

Nico

[stradale]

This afternoon I saw a very dark blue Phantom (Belgian plates) at the Oranjesingel, close to the Rabobank. Maybe the same one you saw, Stoopie? At the same office I have seen another Phantom in a different colour before (brownish). Personally, I find it a revolting car, but I have to admit it's something you don't see every day.

I take it you live around here as well, Nico? :wink:

[TopGearNL]

Lots of members out of Nijmegen :shock:

[mevistox5]

I take it you live around here as well, Nico? :wink:

Yep. In the Rijk van Nijmegen...Almost on the border to Germany (and Autobahn) :turn-l:

[marktak]

Lots of members out of Nijmegen :shock:

You're right about that! Nijmegen is quite a great place to live. On the oranjesingel now and then a maserati 4200 GT is parked. It is parked at the HQ of Australian Homemade (ice-cream and bonbons) and belongs to the owner. The same guy from Bakker Bart.

Is that the black Spyder with tan interior?

Yep, next to the Rabobank on the side of the Oranjesingel, there's Van Lanschot Bankiers, a private banker. Everyday beautiful cars parked outside. Well beautiful, the minimum you'll see is an X5 ;) And yes the Phantom I saw was parked there and it was on Belgian plates as well! Could well be the same one :D

Hm haven't seen that one yet, will shoot it later ;) I've just been active again for 1 day now, have been sick since last sunday, so haven't been outside to spot some cars.. Will begin again tomorrow :D Friday usually is a great day for carspotting in Nijmegen I think, all the rich people seem to take early weekends ;)

@Nico: Let me know when you'll be driving around in Nijmegen, I'd like to see your Lotus!! :D

Oh yeah, I spotted these all today, so sorry for the low quantity :( About the Quattroporte: it was outside when it was getting dark, and my camera doesn't seem to cooperate in those circumstances real well..

[TopGearNL]

Nice pics but why not make clickable thumbnails? :wink:

Ugly rims on the M6 :shock:

[Stoopie]

The Mercedez-Benz S500 was parked outside the private banker I was talking about, that's where the Phantoms are usually parked, from now on I'll be looking there every working day of the week ;)

[HarryCASI]

well those rims on the M6 :lol: a little bit too agressive...

The AMV8 is sure a sexy lady!

[Stoopie]

Yeah these pictures of the AMV8 actually are from 2 different days, it was parked at the same spot 2 days in a row. Only difference was that the 2nd day it was raining, I couldn't resist taking some more pictures ;) It really is the 'baby Aston', but that sure doesn't make it less impressive :)

[MUS911]

nice pics Stoopie :)

[Stoopie]

BTW > Do you guys like the size (1600x1200) or do you want them bigger? Please let me know :)

[TopGearNL]

Quality doesn't improve with the size. 1600x1200 is a nice size :wink:

[stradale]

Yep, I regularly see that AMV8 too! Nice shots, Stoopie!

[marktak]

He Stoopie, nice pics of the AMV8....damn, why have I never seen it before???

[Stoopie]

He Stoopie, nice pics of the AMV8....damn, why have I never seen it before???

It was there 2 days in a row, you should walk across the Oranjesingel more often.. There are actually always nice cars there!

*edit: you said earlier that there was a Maserati 4200 GT parked regularly at the Oranjesingel, can you indicate where it's parked (which side of the Oranjesingel for example?)?

[HarryCASI]

nice update! much improvement! 8)

[stradale]

I know this question was directed at Mark, but I'd like to add that as far as I know there's a 3200 GT at the St. Canisiussingel, the one you already took some shots of. There's also a black on tan 4200 Spyder in the same area. I see it often in the Van Welderenstraat, close to the corner of the Molenstraat. I haven't seen a 4200 GT yet.

[Stoopie]

^ Thanks for replying :D I just got home and I spotted the F430 Spider again and a few Porsches and another Jag S-type S/C R, but no camera at hands :x Why!!! WHY!!! :P

Actually I went back just now with a camera, but the F430 was gone :x And my camera doesn't take too good pictures at night I think.. Or in other words: I haven't figured out how to yet ;)

Take a photo of the same thing in every setting, thats how I learned :wink:

[Stoopie]

^ Will do :)

[marktak]

He Stoopie and Stradale, the 4200 GT is regularly parked at the Oranjesingel on the left side (coming from the Waalbrug direction). It is parked at the Headoffice of Australian Homemade Icecream.....Quite close to a real estate agent...(Is that Verbeek or Hestia or something?) I have to admit that I haven't seen it in a while..... :(

[mrai]

Great pictures, oh that maserati. I love that car! So sexy and elegant. btw..whats up with that black thing around the wheel of the s class? :roll:

[Stoopie]

I'm going to Hessing tomorrow (for the non dutchies, www.hessing.nl) so expect new pictures again soon!

[mevistox5]

Be sure to congratulate them with the sale of their 5th Bugatti Veyron :shock:

Nico

[Stoopie]

^ I sure will, hope the showmodel is still there though!

Btw, they still have that fake Lotus :/

[Alain.]

Harry van den Moesdijk has got a Veyron.. but don't now who else :P

[mevistox5]

Apparently Jan Stuivenberg is the fifth one.. He also owns a Ferrari F40, Jaguar XJ 220, Bugatti EB 110 Super Sport, Porsche 959, Ferrari F430 and a Bentley GT.

Oh yes, the car will be getting swiss plates to avoid 700.000 Euro's in taxes. :shock: :shock: This means he only has to pay 1.100.000 euro's now :roll:

Michiel Mol (Spyker) is rumoured to have ordered one too.

Thats quite a few Veyrons for our relatively small country :shock:

Wonder if Stuivenberg is gonna get away with that, I don't think you can do that so easily..

[TopGearNL]

As for the 700,000€ in taxes - that's more than the 60% of the cars' value!

I told you our government hates the car :x

Insane isn't it...

But if it's 700,000€ already in Holland... what about Norway?? 2,000,000€ in taxes for a 1,200,000€ car??

Now that really is out of this world! :shock:

How come?

[Stoopie]

^ dani that's not true I think, Portugal has the highest tax rates (read that in a newspaper a few months ago) but I don't know where to find those rates at the Internet.. :/ Anyway, off to Hessing now ;)

[Stoopie]

Finally, here is my latest update. I've had some problems with Imagevenue.com but I mailed the owner and he fixed the problems, so I started uploading again this morning. Notice that my site has a complete new look (http://www.geocities.com/rutgerling/carsightings.html), maybe you could give it some comments? I'm very proud of it anyway :D

I'm sorry for this late update, but hey, it's one big update IMO ;)

[HarryCASI]

nice update! love those pics from Hessing :D
and your site is looking better!

[Stoopie]

I've just updated the site again with a new section: Video's (http://www.geocities.com/rutgerling/videos.html)

Here you can watch video's from the Hessing dealership, how they move the cars around. I thought it was pretty cool to look at it, hopefully you think so too :)

[mrai]

Pretty impressive lift system in the showroom. You have a awesome site, beautiful exotics on there and that lambo spyder in white :drool:

[silentm]

some great pictures, i really like the Bentley Speed 8, it looks really mean :twisted:

[TopGearNL]

Nice pics!

The full black gallardo is :twisted:

Need to go myself soon!

Yeah that car looked awesome in the flesh, and the interior colours were just right!

some great pictures, i really like the Bentley Speed 8, it looks really mean :twisted:

Thx, that Speed 8 was there only for a little time, will be gone soon :( It's the actual car they won Le Mans with! (600 bhp :D)

Welcome btw! :hello:

The full black gallardo is :twisted:

Do you mean the Nera or the black one parked outside? The Nera is a limited (185 pieces) edition, it's awesome!

[TopGearNL]

Full black means rims also black so yes I meant the Nera :wink:

[Alain.]

I need to go too :o But it's 2 hours of driving..

Didn't know they had a Murcielago at the moment :)

[silentm]

Welcome btw! :hello:thx! :D don't you have more pictures of the Speed8?

[Stoopie]

I need to go too :o But it's 2 hours of driving..

Didn't know they had a Murcielago at the moment :)

They have a Murcielago most of the time, and if one is sold, they get one to the showroom pretty fast :)

thx! :D don't you have more pictures of the Speed8?
No I'm sorry, I wasn't really paying attention to that car, since there was so many nice stuff around me!

[Stoopie]

And here's another update, though pretty late.. Haven't found any time lately to hunt cars and post them online! But here we go, my first Ferrari photo's in Nijmegen (not the first spotting of course ;) but hey we all know the story *sigh* :P)

that CLS looks so yummy ;)

Nice cars.. but I don't like the photo's. Just take more time :)

Another update, the Quattroporte and the S4 were caught when working in Oosterbeek/Amsterdam.. When I was in Amsterdam, I suddenly heard a big roar behind me, and there was a white Countach :shock: But my boss was in the back, so I couldn't take any pictures.. But at least it's good to know there's a white Countach in The Netherlands as well :mrgreen:

Well I think he also means that a part of the cls misses, you don't need a expensive camera to get the composition right :wink:

You should look for a litle tripod, they are very cheap and gives you a steady shot!

Yeah well you gotta start somewhere ;)

Yeah that picture is in Oosterbeek, one of the richest towns in The Netherlands, they always 'throw' their cars around like that ;) 5 mins earlier I saw the facelifted Porsche Cayenne Turbo, damn that car looks good in the flesh, the rearlights are a real improvement, same goes for the new headlights!

Well I'm ashamed but I have to agree that the composition is bad.. Will work on that :) Does anyone know any cheap tripods outthere which can help me on a steady shot then?

Another update, my connection was down since last wednesday so they're a bit late, bit here they are anyway :)

OMG the Swiss are invading Nijmegen! ;)

The E46 M3 was a tuned one actually, it had a AC Schnitzer chassis and an AC Schnitzer exhaust system. The man sitting in the car was actually the dad of the owner of the car, the man had an E60 M5 himself but he drove along with his son that day.. When his son came back to the car I asked if he could start it, and he fired it up alright, damn that thing has a loud sound.. Screaming like a Carrera GT almost, it was just great :) And btw, that colour isn't standard either, it's carbon black, he had the car imported from Germany.

[TopGearNL]

^^ Nice update, interesting write-up about the E46 M3

[stmoritzer]

damn, I love the bimmer rims
Thanks for the update, any news about the white Countach ? Did you found it again?

[Stoopie]

^ Nope didn't find it still :( But it should be in Amsterdam, but I won't be in the city centre any time soon..

[stradale]

I had a brilliant sighting yesterday: a black Ferrari 599 with dark wheels and a loud exhaust... :shock: It had German plates. I think it was from Frankfurt (plate starting with F), so I'm afraid there's not a big chance of seeing it again. :(

I think I saw the 360 Spider the same day as you did, because I saw it in the exact same spot.

[TopGearNL]

^^ Real shame no pics, Black 599 with dark rims :twisted:

[stradale]

Sorry man... My phone is old, not sophisticated enough to take pictures with... :(

Yeah I saw that car twice already in Nijmegen, seems to be visiting here pretty often.. Both times on the Hertogstraat, but it just blasted away so no time to catch it :( But yeah that car was stunning :love:


PS: There seems to be a new Ferrari in Nijmegen, a dutch F430 spider (grey), the other grey F430 spider I saw was on german plates, again no pics :x

[TopGearNL]

^^ You 'll catch them one day, Im sure of it!

[marktak]

He Stoopie, both the ferrari's you have seen belong to Mr. Fred Tito (owner of the Tito lifttruck company). He is a big collector of Ferrari and has quite a collection. He also owns an Enzo and 575 and I believe his is listed in the Quote 500 as well. He drives Ferrari both with Dutch and German plates....and used to drive a pink(!) 911 turbo cabrio :D

If that 575 is silver, I've seen that car! But that was a few years ago, haven't seen it for a loooong while! Hope to catch his cars in the future, especially the Enzo of course :D

[marktak]

Yep, the 575 is a silver one....and the Enzo, I believe it is red one....and the other enzo is also a black one.....I heard he is looking for a third Enzo in black.

[TopGearNL]

^^ F*ck me, 3 Enzo's :shock:

[Stoopie]

Yep, the 575 is a silver one....and the Enzo, I believe it is red one....and the other enzo is also a black one.....I heard he is looking for a third Enzo in black.

Ehm isn't this the story about HvdM? I heard he was looking to buy a black third Enzo from a guy in Japan..

[Stoopie]

I haven't posted here for a loooong time, and I haven't really gone out to spot some cars.. But it's really great weather these days, so I've gone out once again and came up with some nice sights IMO :) Enjoy!

I saw the Z8 at Düsseldorf International Airport, and whilst looking at the picture later, I noticed it had Alpina rims :)

And now some more stories: a few weeks earlier I heard a roaring sound coming down the street, and I looked outside and there was a brand new SLR 722 edition! I was too late to grab my camera, but luckily someone else did catch it (link (http://www.autogespot.nl/viewimages.php?id=2214748364801052007171630) to his pictures). And last saturday, as I was walking home, a grey 599 TGB (on Belgian plates) drove past me (again no camera on hands) and 5 minutes later, there was the black 599 GTB with black rims again :love: And to round things up, this morning the grey F430 was in the same place as it was last week, so I hope it's there again next week to take some pics :)

(For the Dutchies: de F430 staat (waarschijnlijk) elke woensdagochtend op Plein 1944)

Btw, the blue DB9 Volante is from the same owner as the black Phantom I spotted earlier on the same location, and the black DB9 Volante was parked one street away from my parents house. The car belongs to a friend of my father, I knew he had a DB7 Volante, but he apparently bought himself a new/another toy :)

[franck bullitt]

Notice the Z8 plate:"Z888" :lol: and thx for pics :wink: 8)

[chest3r]

That M6 looks way better with those wheels than with the original ones. Lovely!

[Stoopie]

The M6 is actually the same one as I did a 'photoshoot' with earlier, it now only has new exhausts!
