2.000th Post - Fuck the London Eye, I'm JW Member!

[MIHALS]

right, today it's exactly 2 years and 2 months since I'm here and I managed to send 2.000 post (sometimes pretty useless ). I'd like to thank ARMAN to bring me to this world, Jabba, TT, Dan (for the past) and all of you guys here, who make the best and biggest car family in the world!

so what's my contribution? you already could see it in my sig for some time... I was in London on tuesday 21.2., just because of this post . If I should describe London these days, I'd say: on the posh places like around Harrods, Sloane street, Park Lane etc, there's 99% of cars only S-Klasses, 7 series, Phantoms (really a lot of them!!!), Conti GTs, Flying Spurs, Quattroportes and only sometimes you can spot some sportscar, mostly Ferrari

well, I should shut up and put the pics to the ring... just want to say it was bloody cold and cloudy weather, so most of "drive-by" shots are strongly non sharp, but I tried to oversharpen them, so they look quite nice imo . the same goes for my polarizer, which starts to pissing me off :x on some pics you can see slightly different colour :bah: time to look around for some hoya stuff

I missed many cars - they were to fast to shoot them, especially British Racing Green Jag XJ220 and Cayenne Gemballa :cry:

ENJOY!!!

Aston Martin - nearly all of them were spotted straight after leaving train station - I felt like in heaven, when I saw my first old V8

DB7 Vantage/ Volante

DB9 / Volante

V8

Audi Quattro / RS4 - the owner of the RS4 came out of the shop, got sooo close to me and kept asking, if I need some help. I asked him if it's ok to take some pics and he like "why", so I told him "just look at it, it's gorgeous!"... he didn't believe me it's for myself and was still stupidly smiling at me like he wants to chop my head off :roll: so I just told him "congrats for your ride" and went away... fool :roll:
**

Conti GT / Flying Spur - I was taking pics of M3 and when I wanted "shoot", something just passed in front of my camera with the unusual noise. so I look behind the car and it was Flying Spur. I could only zoom on it and shoot it on the junction...

BMW E46 M3

BMW E60 M5

combo shots: SL, Phantom, M5, DB9, S-Klasse, H2 - so which would you have today?

Ferrari 612 - red one from TT's land
*

Ferrari F355 F1 Berlinetta / GTS
**

Ferrari F360 Modena - this yellow beautie was in the side street, I could only zoom on the max and shoot. when I took the pic, he got lost (mind that green DB7 in the back )


Ferrari F430 / spider - isn't that yellow F430 gorgeous?
***

Ferrari F456

Lamborghini Gallardo SE :shock: I just heard some brutal noise, turned over and shot, so it's just an orange patch :bah:


Maserati GranSport


Maserati Quattroporte - MIND THAT COPPER COLOUR!!!

Maybach 57


Mazda RX-7


Mercedes CLS55 AMG - beautiful colour!!!

VW Golf mk5 R32


well, streetsights :roll: but when you're in london, LAMBORGHINI LONDON is a MUST attend!!!
but just like last year I was unlucky - only Gallardos again, but one was 2004 and two were 2006, especially WHITE PEARL

Lamborghini London


White Perlascent Gallardo - in this case the licence plate letters stand for "L" > Lamborghini, "06" > 2006, "E" - E-Gear

other Gallardos

[ARMAN]

Hehe I never knew that you will be such a spammer jk Congrats on 2000th post!

Anyway you are crazy enough to go to London just to shoot cars for us on JW :silly: wich is very very much appreciated

Ouch that RS6 guys made in hard for you, he knew that its not for you, its for JW Looks stunning in black btw deffinitly it was worth trying to take pic!

Love old Carrera old Aston V8, Volante, Audi Quattro, 355... and others

Thanx for making trip there and taking pics and wich you many many quality posts in the future!

All that in one day? :shock: London is definately up there amongst the best cities for car spotting, great work.

Nice AMV8 all by itself, and the yellow F430 is too die for - great colour for it, just needs darker (or black) wheels now.

Shame about some of the moving shots being blurry, especially the SE but still a stunning post.

Thanks alot MIHALS.

Damn, superb!!

And this is not a normal Quattroporte, it's a Quattropore Executive GT

[chest3r]

OMFG!!! What an awesome bunch of pics !!! :shock: :shock:

All these cars spotted just in one day.... that's really impressive !! Forget Monaco

I loved the AMV8, the black E46 M3, the two M5's ( those are the 2 best colors ), the full white GT3 RS ( it looks better this way than the stock one ).

The pic with the Phantom, the M5 and the DB9 is great. Holy shit !! I had never noticed the Phantom was so big :shock: :shock: It looks like a truck....

[adamwich]

Amazing pictures Mihals! Some really nice sightings! I miss being in London so much - it is a really great city to spot great cars!

[stmoritzer]

but this post is even bigger :shock:

Congrats to the 2k post!

I'll browse the pics in more detail this evening ...

[nthfinity]

no kidding london is among the best places out there :shock: if you were a regular there, i think you'd challenge TT for most exotic's spotted :shock:

keep shooting, your definately getting better mihals
so many... just one day! man, i cant get over that

[twboy1999]

why is the 430 ride high same as the u.s version
european 430 suppose to be lower than the us counterpart
maybe not for u.k i guess

specailly the yellow on u spoted on the street.. super 4x4

[Fleischmann]

Congrats on the milstone post. Some great shots, the DB7 is also my favourite. It's too bad you didn't take many pics of the DB9's

[martin100]

Yes, congrats to your 2k post, and thanks very much for these excellent pics mate The black RS4 is to die for

If I judge the situation, this guy is surely a former BMW or Mercedes owner, he isn't yet comfortable with the fact that he drives an awesome Audi B7 RS4 whose people want to take picture of it.

Thanks MIHALS for this great pictures set and congrats for your 2K post !
