St.Moritz Sightings , Cay's,X5,RS's,Phaeton,Cooper,Techart

[stmoritzer]

Hello guys
I'm back from my christmas holidays, too bad the time was so short

I spent few days with my family, enjoyed some days skiing (it was freezing cold in Switzerland just before New Years Eve, down to -30°C during the night, brrrr)

this is me in the cold winter (at -15°C)





Did also some carhaunting, of course
Welcome to Cayenne-town, one can spot more Cayenne in St.Moritz around christmas than on a Cayenne meeting
Also very common are Audi Avant (A4,S4,RS4,A6,S6 and RS6), followed by BMW X5, Range Rovers, 911 (TT,Carrera4, 4S) and Minis ... and Hummers (1 H1, ~3 H2 and 1 H3). The locals often drive Subaru's

The top sights were 2 white Cayennes (my first ones!), 2 Bentley Flying Spurs (only one with pics, sorry) , 2 dirty ContiGT and a black-monster: a Techart Magnum!

the most surprising one was a 575M :shock: from VS (Valais)



so, let's start with some sightings right after christmas... I won't bother you with tons of Cayennes and Audi's, only a few in rare colors, nice locations or dirty

God I love pics of exlusive cars in the snow. The RS4 pics look really great. And dark the Techart Magnum looks like a dark wolf in the Swiss Alps

Thanks for the pics. They are great for sending Christmas cards to fellow car nuts!

Thanks for the pics

Car haunting sounds a bit frightening to me 8)

Always nice to see car sightings in StMoritz! I love cars in the snow, but hell the Magnum is a brillant sighting. What kind of plates it has? It might be the one that goes around Genève since a while but I always seem to miss it :bah:

Mmmmm I love cars in the snow, maybe because I never see it over here.

The black RS4/6 pics are the best, really sensational! :good: The Magnum sure is a beast, if not complete overkill. :shock:

No pics of the 575M?

Thanks stmoritzer.

The car was from GRaubünden, a 3 digit GR plate. I saw a second white Cayenne (AMAG Winterthur with ZH plates, not a Turbo) later around New Years Eve, pics will follow in the next update

btw, if you intend to visit the Engadin, there is the Winter Raid! (several passes between Klosters-Bormio and St.M) around the 12.to14.January

and the Polo on Snow event (Maybach-mania ) during the last weekend of January!

I found a really cheap hotel some 8-10km from Saint Moritz... as you've said - all my family (5 people) in one room for 25-30€ per night I guess all the hotels there don't have white Cayenne Turbos parked in front Originally Posted by stmoritzer the other sightings (Flying Spur, 575M, RR, 300C, H1,2,3...) will be online asap ... 'more pics to come soon'

25-30€ per person per day to be precise

Just let me know, whenever you plan to go there and I'll try to be in St.Moritz aswell

probabely Celerina, the town next to St.Moritz, where the bobsleigh track end ... and in April the prizes are lower (off -season)
