Supercar Rally 2004, my pics finally!
 
Yes, you know how I am, so, before the pics, here is the boring stuff ;) mainly about the car that took me there (a total of 700 km and 96 pics 11 hours)

Anyway, the drive was amazing! i know most reviews are not THAT positive about the TT (Roadster or coupé), especially from mags like evo.. but I fear they are too used to drive supercars.. I can assure you that the 180 hp TT Roadster for a normal person like me, with normal cars experience, it is a blast! 180 hp are fine enough to throw the car pretty fast from a corner to the next one, but just not enough to create too much understeer!
Yes the roadster isn't really rigid... on big potholes it's like it is ripped apart (25'000 km on this car, so still pretty new BTW). But its chassis is WELL sorted! You can throw at it many things and it just accept them all! Lift off in every kind of corner, and even quite heavy braking mid corner.. the rear break loose for a sec but then comes back like on rails.. the front wheels bite incredibly well! the brakes just accepted some serious punished today with no fading at all!!

I was even lucky enough to do the downhill part yesterday afternon behind a Renault 5 Turbo 2 wich was a marvellous pleasure.. he was with a girl so he didn't push too much and I fear his brakes were not even close to the TT's, but to be behind such car, with all its cracking, backfiring and burbles for almost 20 km was a dream! it was red, it was shiny and like if it left the factory last week! Amazing pocket rocket!

I was then in Lugano (thanks to miss TT for talking to me all the way through her GPS knowledge... even if I know the road very well, it is nice to have the car talking to you if you are bored LOL)

And it was quite nice there...it would have been worth for the black F40 alone in my opinion!!!!

Sadly not all the cars were there I fear.. somebody was still taking a shower at the Hotel LOL! but still amazing!

Definitely worth it!

Oh, first of all, here is the car that took me there just in case you missed it in the other topic ;)

Awesome pics TT, always a bonus when TT sees a car in a colour even he hasn't seen before :D 8) The yellow Zonda is also a bit different i always seem to see pics of them in silver :wink:

nurbrun 10-02-2004 11:59 AM

Darkel 10-02-2004 12:14 PM

Does that mean that all the other pics are blurry or have an idiot on the way ? :wink:

TT 10-02-2004 12:30 PM

Well not really since basically I usually delete the really crap ones right away... but of course there were a couple taken with the camera not on the tripod that were pretty blurry (shutter at 1/15.. not easy to get a sharpen pic ;))

Sadly for instance, impossible to get a nice F40 front shot.. the only one posted is crap LOL

sameerrao 10-02-2004 12:39 PM

Nice pics as usual .. What is the silver car 5 rows down and second from the left

T-Bird 10-02-2004 12:39 PM

some nice stuff there man I love the dark Enzo and F40

jorge 10-02-2004 12:40 PM

Thanks, i love that black F40!

jorge 10-02-2004 12:50 PM

Mopsdrops 10-02-2004 12:53 PM

It's a prototype from Peugeot, a Peugeot 407 Silhouette :) crazy shit :D

Darkel 10-02-2004 01:10 PM

Hey, never say Peugeot = shit in front of me :mrgreen:

TT 10-02-2004 01:20 PM

Well in that case is positive shit :D

If you want to talk about the thousands of francs I spent on my 106 I am here :P

TT 10-02-2004 01:40 PM

So you never saw a yellow Zonda?!? Bad boy!! http://www.swisscarsightings.com/sup...ally20032.html (Supercar Rally 2003 by me ;))

As for "my" Enzos:

- The one for THE Enzo ride
- The red one in Lugano (crappy pics inside a showroom taken from outside)
- The yellow one here at the dealership
- The yellow one / black wheels from Monaco, yesterday
- The black one yesterday
- One in a dealership between Lausanne and Geneva I see every time from the highway, but it doesn't count since I can't take pics of the bitch :D

That makes 5 :D

Im sorry TT, but I didnt see that one, but still nice to now have seen two yellow Zonda`s..... :wink:

I like your Enzo list.........mine counts 0 Enzo`s at this date....... :(

Not forgetting the yellow Zonda roadster that TT saw too :wink:

:arrow: http://www.swisscarsightings.com/carugatiandlambo1.html


Great pics as always TT 8)

The 612 looks so sexy and the F50 is mindblowing.

Nice for an EB110 owner to show up, and the Ascari is pretty rare :wink:

Two Enzo's and the black F40... stunning :shock:

This really is a show of your dedication TT.. i am sure that nobody will take these pics for granted. :D

TT 10-02-2004 01:53 PM

Sorry to correct you LOL but the yellow Zonda is basically the same one :D

And I really hope you will soon catch up with a couple of Enzos yourself too!!

adamwich 10-02-2004 01:56 PM

WOW :shock: :shock:

THANKS A LOT TT!

Super cool pictures! 8)

yg60m 10-02-2004 02:07 PM

Very nice pics TT :D Thank you :P

Schwalbe 10-02-2004 02:20 PM

Amazing pics TT, especially the badass black F40. :D

Darkel 10-02-2004 02:27 PM

My enzo list counts 2 Enzo ... at the same time, I hope I'll be so lucky again :roll:

The yellow zonda also took part of another meeting which started from paris, can't remember the name (there was a lot of oldies)

Wutputt 10-02-2004 02:57 PM

Damn, very nice sightings. I really like the black F40. I never new they were available in black.

TT 10-02-2004 03:08 PM

BTW, just found a couple more black F40 pics in my archive :D

And of course it is the same one LOL

frozzu 10-02-2004 03:31 PM

Damn it. I'm so so jealous right now :((. It feels like all of those cars are perfect, except the bugatti :))(don't like the looks of it)

Ford Capri 2.8i 10-02-2004 08:01 PM

Apart from the usual level of TT with his comments and pics quality...and apart from the beauty of 360, Carrera GT, bugatti EB110, the enzo......the main surprise of the day IMO was the black F40....simply and easily the best looking car of that lot.......simply ive no words to describe it.........on the other hand.....the dissapointment came to me from the 407 silhouette....simply.....dreadfull.......

thanks for the pics TT once more

Stikz 10-02-2004 08:03 PM

Nice pics TT, thanks man.

bmagni 10-02-2004 08:38 PM

nice pics !!! thnx !!
i remember u telling the f40 was dirty as hell, i think its worse than that... black and dirty not a good combo...

racer_f50 10-03-2004 01:10 AM

DUNKiNUTS 10-03-2004 01:29 AM

yeah they are all great cars. But they get to be the same pictures. But l like the new cars showing their faces. Love the black F-40 :D

SilviaEvo 10-03-2004 02:24 AM

:vamp: we need more pics :twisted:

PATo355 10-03-2004 03:14 AM

Impresssive , the finest cars joined there , was a SLR too ?

dingo 10-03-2004 04:34 AM

Thanks alot dude, great cars and pics. Its a shame so many people were climbing over the cars, otherwise we would have got more nice pics.
BTW, my Enzo count is also at 0, unless you count the ones I've seen in pictures and videos. :wink: :twisted:

TT 10-03-2004 05:25 AM

As for more pics, sadly as said, there aren't... but salegosse should take some today as far as I know, in Monaco and also at a racing track before they will leave for Saint Tropez :D so we should see more pics :D

And no SLR, not in Lugano neither in Monaco as far as I know ...

mindgam3 10-03-2004 08:35 AM

amazing pics TT,i reckon the CGT looks better in the darker grey than the more common light grey

TT 10-03-2004 09:06 AM

Yup, too bad they weren't parked closed and anyway there would have been to many ppl around to take a nice pic of the two side by side ;)

stradale 10-03-2004 11:18 AM

Wow... :shock: I knew this was going to be good, but I still got a kick out of seeing those pictures. The black F40 is the winner of course. I loved the 407 as well. That's so special to see out on the street... :D Great work again, TT!

nurbrun 10-03-2004 11:51 AM

is it just me or the first 5 pics are the same shot of the ascari?

TT 10-03-2004 11:55 AM

LOL indeed, thanks! That's why I preferred to put just a couple of pics here and just redirect to my website for the rest :D I was tired and I didn't want to mess up with all that copy and paste ;)

Jabba 10-03-2004 08:33 PM

1:37 am and just had to say what another amazing set of pictures from the "Great TT".

TT 10-04-2004 04:46 AM

Thanks!

Nice to see you finally have some time to take a look in this section :D
