TT, awesome pics

the Bugatti with opened door is very nice :shock: , unfortunately I saw it only closed ...and the 3rd pic, wow, verynice reflection of the lights

Just finished dl my pics and the ones of my friend, 600+ pics were made, some nice ones (backstage pics, inside Koeniggsegg), many blurry ones (the blue Zonda and the black cars are indeed a nightmare to take pics of) and babes ...

Thanks for all the effort dude, all of the pics lovely as usual my favourite being the mean new zonda and the F430 spider from the front You even manged to make the veyron, which i and alot of others have said is damn fat and ugly, look nice from this angle IMO


And then theirs the dealership pics what a lucky find to have such cars set up like that realtively uncramed in my desktop will stay with the Enzo and MC12 pic for some time i think...... everytime somebody comes into my room they ask where I got the desktop pics from.... i always say from my car mad swiss friend Already since this new one you have been getting lots of compliments

(not forgetting of course to tell the car loving ones about swisscarsightings )

Great pictures, TT!

You Swiss are lucky to have such an important motorshow. For instance, Ford couldn't be bothered to bring a GT to Amsterdam and only had the red one you see in tests available for Autovisie's supercar paddock, if it weren't for some Danish hack to have damaged it. A different GT apparently was out of the question, but I see that Geneva got a yellow one.

LOL! If it wasn't for the JW Health Warning title, Dani would be known as Con Man...

TT, what concept is this? I don't remember seeing it before. I'm extra curious since it looks like there's a badge with Marcello Gandini's signature just below the a-pillar.

stmoriter, I am relieved to see it was not only my camera with the black cars.. sadly it is a well known problem, the only way to go is full manual focus, with isn't easy on digicameras to set proprely.

You are just crazy..600 pics! I promise next year I will use a 256 MB card to avoid taking more than 60 or 70

Haha, thanks Alan, actually the Veyron when you can see it in the metal it is like many other cars like the 6 series and so on. Totally different, better proportions, almost a nice car. and as always, even the best pic in the world can't capture a whole car like you can see it while walking around it

"yes, a friend from Lausanne asked me if he could post MY pics in his website... and he doesn't have any idea of photoshop, so I edited MY pics with the logo... but it was to late that I forgot to delete the logo from MY pics"...
LMAO

As you can see, I am renaming all the pics so ppl can see what the car actually is instead of geneva_xxx and if the #011 wasn't renamed it is because I have no clue LOL. but I will try to look into it later

, two friends of mine were helping, together we got 600+ pics, many of them will be in 3 variations , since we all stared at the same b... car

I got the camera of a colleque ( still don't have a digital one ) with a 512Mb chip - about the memory you need for 1 day in geneva

I had a closer look at my brabus pics, some are quite good, here a first one (raw data, no sharpening)

TT thx for the effort.

The pics are great! I'm not going to comment on all, because it would take me forever.

I totaly get the Brabus problem. I had the same problem last year on the brabus stand in the Zagreb autoshow.

Thx again, the pics are great!

Oh, that green Stratos looks mean. How does it look in real life?

Actually in real life the Fenomenon Stratos IMO, isn't as good as on the paper or on a monitor. I don't know, it looks bulky in a wrong way. Especially when you quickly check out the real thing beside it...

It's not that bad actually, and would definitely be great if Lancia would have another Stratos one day, but I doubt with today's laws and standards, it will be possible to come close to the original in terms of lines and pure shape

stradale, as for the mistery car, it is a Stola S86 Diamante

yeah. Brabus - an impossible car to take pictures of, so don't buy it and if you have to, go for not so black colours

Talking about Brabus, once again
Anyway TT, what do you want us to post from now ? You probably posted the best ones and an autoshow isn't the best place to find new angles
Can't wait to be the 13th, even if I won't post any pics (I would be the last one who posts them so ...)
