So, back in the streets we are.

With a nice Z1, a rare and sometimes underrated sighting!

And first pic from my trip to the ring back in 2005.. sadly too dark to get decent panning shots with my poor Pro 1 (yep, still some months needed before we'll hit the first regular sightings pics taken with the 350D).. 997TT test mule.. pretty quick beast!

Yeh, actually not really great timing I must admit :bah:

[Stoopie]

Thanks for sharing, cool pics again :)

[ARMAN]

That Merc is f@king gross :mrgreen: and Evo damn sexy :P

its is January 2005??? :shock: :faint: :mrgreen:

[TopGearNL]

Nice pics TT!

Rare sights, Z1 and so...!

Indeed good colour for the Vette!

Love the 456, only colour that suits it IMO!!

How do you get that effect with PS thats in you sig?

Nono, should be July or August 2005, can't recall exactly, prolly august


How do you get that effect with PS thats in you sig?

You mean the sort of blurry/brillance thing? I just duplicate the layer, play around with levels and gaussian blur, set it as overlay and it's done.

[dingo]

Very nice!! The two nicest cars for me are the silver F430 (what a colour) and the Maser on those gorgeous BBS wheels! :love:

Funnily enough I saw a blue 456 yesterday too, however I was seated at a cafe while it drove past....no photo like you. :(

Yeah, but I also meant the cut up effect :D

[yg60m]

Nice sighting TT :)

[stmoritzer]

LOL about the testmule 8)

me likes the grey 430 most, on the other side the bling-MB is horrible :roll:
I agree with te color for the 456, very nice

Thanks for the update TT

[komotar]

hmm, I don't think I like the rims on the maser :? not a look, that suits the car imo...

ths silever F car cabrio...hmm, nice one

I love the Z1. I saw 2 this summer and they were both in excellent condition, what a funny looking car ... I saw two red ones and they stood out sooo much...

oh, and the vette got a nice background, that makes the pic really cool,

Thx for the update TT...it's like looking in the past :lol:

[sameerrao]

How cool is that - a 250 PF SII Cabriolet just parked on the road as if it was a ordinary, garden variety 308/328. :)

[TT]

And let's not forget that 250 was parked in the same exact parking spot (public) as the yellow Miura weeks earler:

same owner obviously, and other ppl saw more cool cars there. I think I even got a Dino later one right there.

You mean the sort of blurry/brillance thing? I just duplicate the layer, play around with levels and gaussian blur, set it as overlay and it's done.

Yeah, but I also meant the cut up effect :D

I just select a rectangle smaller than the pic, enter quick mask mode (Q), then filter > brush strokes > Sprayed strokes. Q again and then I take the resulting cut up image and paste it in the preset gif I use as a base for my signature

[sameerrao]

You need to make friends with him mate - he might give you a ride in the Miura :)

[TT]

Yeh, would be great indeed! Sadly now that I live near Lugano (pics taken in Geneva), this is pretty much impossible and need to find myself some new Miura owners around here :P

[TopGearNL]

That owner's got great taste :shock: :D !

[franck bullitt]

Always awesome update :!: 8) :D

My Favorites are :

- The Brown Vette
- The Siver F430 (it's rare i appreciate such a Ferrari's pics :P )
- The MB S Coupe and The red EVO 6 TME Ex-aequo :roll:

Good job TT :!: 8)

[Wutputt]

Really nice sightings. My favourite is the 456M, thought the 997TT scoop was encridible at that time


That Merc is f@king gross :mrgreen: and Evo damn sexy :P

its is January 2005??? :shock: :faint: :mrgreen:

Nono, should be July or August 2005, can't recall exactly, prolly august


July :D

[Mers]

Sorry but the 250 almost gave me a heart attack...I love those cars...My favourite one being the 250 Pininfarina GT Coupé.... My god what a beautiful car...

Thanks for that TT, makes me glad to be back
