June 1st: 300SL, F550, M5, M6, Guara, Gransport...

[TT]

Yo, hello guys! More street sightings. taken again in august 2005! Back then I was still in University and during a break I went back to my home town for a while, so most pics are from Lugano and surroundings.

Couple of weird conincidences. In the rear shot of the 300SL you can see to the right a building (bricks). Well, I now work there, 3rd floor :) I would have never guessed back then!
In the Quattroporte sideshot you can see a building being built in the background. That's Loris Kessel's dealership's new showroom, now open since a while (where the F relay was held). And well, the company taking care of all the metal structures is a customer of us today :) (and the owner has a 996 GT3 RS)... little world we live in!

Anyway, the pics!


Very rare De Tomaso Guara parked in from of Kessel :)

My friend JC's Maranello. I had a superb day with him that day. We attended a F meeting which included a small rallye for the entrants and I was his copilot. Un-forgettable!

I think I had never seen that De Tomaso before. It's a bit ugly :?

That Merc 300 is sexy as hell :o

:shock:

All these 300SL's on the street! Almost as if you are in Monaco.

Don't think I've seen much of that De Tomaso, what's it got under the boot?

[TT]

It was propelled by a Ford V8. 4.6 liters, 280 hp

That 300 SL in the middle of the street is a great sighting - do you get to see exotics every now and then from the window of your office?? I would be mad working and knowing that just down the street there's a Ferrari passing by LOL! :P

The Guara is such a beauty!! :love: especially in white. Too bad the company no longer exists... :(

Yup, there are a couple of 360 passing by at least twice a day. I saw already Gallardo, Murcielago, any 997 model you can name and even a Daytona from my window... and yep, it's a pita! A couple of times I got pics because I had my camera with me, but the angle sucks and anyway you must be ultra quick! Also, most of the time I am out of office anyway...
