I'm sure you've seen pics from Monaco before me arriving here, but I would like to share with you my day in Monaco last week, this is looking to be my last new topic with photo's of "WYST" in, but I felt I wanted to post them here because it was such a great day, and I got to grips with my new camera properly :)
As the topic says. there 142 photos below, some cars like the Corvette C5, Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster and an AC Cobra I missed :( but the rest arent all that bad either:
All 142 images:

Approaching the Monte-Carlo Casino

Outside the Monte-Carlo Casino, some drive-pasts, others parking and some parked!

The Casino
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/7114/0230tp.th.jpg
I then left my parents in a café and walked around, firstly spotting this old 360
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/8862/0242ht.th.jpg
I was then surprised to see sitting on the side of the road this beautiful example of this Wiesmann Roadster
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/8031/0257td.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/8094/0265rf.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/8937/0277ze.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/5224/0285md.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/663/0294te.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/1024/0307mw.th.jpg
This loud 360 Spider appeared from an underground car park
http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/3764/0315lv.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/3558/0327zy.th.jpg
and then I heard the Wiesmann start up, and floored it down the street, so I managed to fire off another few photos of it :)
http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/8453/0337ra.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/9783/0347ja.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6847/0353pk.th.jpg
And then I returned to the Casino again, to meet some new cars
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/1629/0364ci.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6241/0375na.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/3465/0389pb.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2483/0403wk.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/9281/0395yw.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/9691/0412up.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/935/0426dh.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/1317/0437kg.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/3198/0445qq.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6820/0458tl.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/460/0469hx.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2253/0473ib.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/4092/0489qq.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/7926/0494kq.th.jpg
I didn’t name each car because this is a car forum and I’m sure you can tell what they are!
Many cars I saw many times, and may feature more than once, that RollsRoyce above with its recognisable reg plate I saw at least 6 or 7 times!
Next onto a Hotel nearby
An English Aston Martin DB9… that’s why there not many in the UK, they’re all abroad!
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/791/0509ad.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2181/0513zj.th.jpg
another 612 Scag
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/7112/0524xb.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/8823/0544ew.th.jpg
Ferrari 456?
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/32/0555md.th.jpg
The 3rd F430 I had seen by then, the 1st with the camera ready, and a lovely one too!
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/9150/0564ir.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/1517/0576ix.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2346/0584qa.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/4903/0598yw.th.jpg
Moved further on, many people don’t consider the Range Rover Sport special, but I like this supercharged version
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/4845/0626sk.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/8034/0601xu.th.jpg
This 911 was parked so close to the Smart in front its bumper was not just touching, but pressing into it!
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6319/0615aa.th.jpg
hunting a place for lunch, and found this turning into the street, a nice little M5 :P
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/4813/0638sx.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/9139/0649ol.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/1607/0657eu.th.jpg
And the next few pictures are taken from the restaurant at lunch time (my parents becoming considerably agitated every time a nice car drove past :P)
A Corvette C6, the 2nd I’ve ever seen on the road
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2776/0668wf.th.jpg
Aston Martin DB9 Volante … the same from the Casino maybe?
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/3373/0674pz.th.jpg
An F430 Spider
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/9128/0687dh.th.jpg
I then established myself on a street corner (on the F1 circuit now)
These are not as common here as I expected
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/5180/0697ci.th.jpg
Different in white… I saw one at the airport too, with a Saudi plate I think
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6168/0708sz.th.jpg
and a Ferrari 550 or 575… look the same to me!
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/9362/0716aj.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2655/0725bi.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6055/0737xk.th.jpg
And then it rained, but after the heavy rain shower I continued on round the circuit, followers of F1 (or like me GT3 and GT4 game) may recognise the next pics…
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/7765/0740ok.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6954/0756ot.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/5600/0769wc.th.jpg
A Ferrari 360 taking the famous hairpin the wrong way :P
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/696/0774ls.th.jpg
The corner, and a Ferrari just passing through it
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2957/0792xs.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/34/0784yu.th.jpg
A smaller casino…
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6972/0802mx.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/8431/0810yv.th.jpg

I just like the whole black with black rims setup
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/9655/1039wk.th.jpg
A very loud Italian F430 Spider
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/711/1044er.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6320/1051it.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/8638/1062ui.th.jpg
A Merc CLS55, could be the one I photographed earlier, I just haven’t checked the plates for recognition yet
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/5702/1084cu.th.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/3937/1078um.th.jpg
Turning onto the main street
http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/8918/1093at.th.jpg
I love this pic, I know the Honda dealer is next to it, but Ferrari with Hondas infront :D
http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/9354/1109oz.th.jpg
This Quattroporte was there last year I’m sure :P

http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/3207/1144yd.th.jpg http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/6607/1157kg.th.jpg
Can you spot the Ferrari :P
http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/8579/1234ou.th.jpg
Sorry that was a bad joke, anyway, pics from inside the service bay
612 Scags, 360’s an Enzo, F430’s, some older cars, and more!
http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/747/1160du.th.jpg http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/3956/1188ws.th.jpg http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/3214/1172cm.th.jpg http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/6478/1191nl.th.jpg http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/174/1207bl.th.jpg http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/5424/1218hp.th.jpg http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/1656/1222fg.th.jpg http://img354.imageshack.us/img354/4739/1247bl.th.jpg
We then sat at a Café by the road split to Menton and Nice and ‘Toutes Directions’ and once again I was photographing passing cars, but they were going quite fast and close up by then
Ferrari 550/575M
http://img354.imageshack.us/img354/2589/1279zd.th.jpg http://img354.imageshack.us/img354/874/1281zu.th.jpg http://img354.imageshack.us/img354/8572/1293aj.th.jpg

Jaguar E-Type Convertible SII/III
http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/6021/1336iu.th.jpg
A tuned 996 911 Turbo Cabriolet

A Chrysler 300C, my first sighting on the road
http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/3295/1374je.th.jpg
This Impreza really isn’t riced, its very powerful, I promise
http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/3047/1380do.th.jpg
This was for me the best sighting, it’s the first I’ve ever seen, and probably never see one again, a Shelby Series 1, not sold outside of the US I believe, the picture is bad because of the traffic, but its enough proof that I saw it!
http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/7561/1397xs.th.jpg
and finally this Mustang, also rare outside the US, or at least for me back in England where I’ve only seen 4 on the roads before.
