My weekend: AMV8 Vantage, CLK DTM AMG, Isdera Imperator, ...
 

I had a really great car related weekend. But I don't have the time to upload all the pics, so here's a little preview:

After TT and 430csjj, I'm the 3rd JW member to see the new AM V8 Vantage on the roads. I was having diner in a little 'restaurant', when a friend of mine called me a new V8 Vantage was coming my way. I immediately left my diner for what is was, took my camera and saw the AM coming. Luckily for me it parked itself at the parking where I was. Sadly it was raining hard, and my lens got wet, so the pics aren't good. The car only stayed for 2 minutes and left off. The driver didn't floored the car, but even in low revs the engine sound is horny :D

Doesn't sound exlusive: a 130i. But what makes it special is it will be launched in September:

Impressive cars, impressive quality ... and so is the preview, can't wait for some more ! :D

and who was the first of the FOUR!? :D
(back in may, in nice, hint: you met him on sunday) ;)

dodo: "hey, what was the best car today?"
wutputt: "aaahm, i don't know - nothing special"

well, could have mentioned the clk dtm!!


very very very cool pictures! especially the first of the dtm! :)

You saw one too? Damn, no podium finish for me :(
But I guess I'm the only JW member who has thrown his ass into the seats of the AMV8 (though that was on the Geneva motorshow, not on the streets)?



I saw the CLK DTM AMG on Monday ;)
Though I also saw one (maybe the same one) in the early Sunday morning, but I wasn't able to take a pic of that one, that's why I forgot it ;)

Thanks for the pics mate, I am impressed by the Isdera : so rare !!!! :shock:

Damn man, where do you hang out? I rarely see anything like that here in Gent :?

(edit) Oooh, had a second look, somewhere at the NR...
I first thought in Belgium because of the second pic, the BMW with the Belgian numberplate.

Wow, man....thanks for the great pics. The Isdera made me smile. I sat in one when I was a kid...it was on a carshow in Breda...It was at the age of seven or so...Thanks!

nice sightings. i really like that pic of the AMV8 and the db7. that clk dtm amg was really cool too, it sucks that they dont come to the US. also that black 911 GT2 on black wheels :drool:

HOLY SMOKES, the foggy pic of the CLK DTM is just perfect! :good: :good: :good:

CLK DTM :drool: - and two stunning pictures of it! :D

The AMV8 is also a great sighting, will be a while before I see one me thinks. :(

Thanks alot, the rest is enticing. :D

thanks Dutputt, this was one of the better post (7458 to browse:wink:) I saw since I came back from vacation.

Well done! Especially the Isdera, the foggy CLK DTM andd the V8, previews looking good :D

-> check your pm

Great pics mate! The Isdera Imperator somehow reminds me of the Lotec Sirius, esp the back. The looks of the AMV8 is beyond describability :cry:

In my urgency I forgot to mention it, I went two days to the NS. Sadly the weather was bad: rainy the first day, though it dried up a bit during the day, before it rained again. And the second they I only saw fog.

But it was worth it, certainly cause I had a ride with Sabine in the rain :mrgreen:
