Just a few cars I saw on the street the past 2 days. Its hard to take photos while driving, but im getting better.

First up, a Viper. This car is always parked in the same spot, i see it all the time.

While I was taking the pic of the Viper I heard this Vette go by and I tried to catch up to him but the guy make a quick U-turn and hauled ass so all i got was a rear view before he did that.

an old Jag parked in someones driveway

a nice Ferrari I saw just sitting there beggin me to drive it LOL

Lastly, this pic quality sucks, sorry about that. But its a yellow 355 and a Evo 8 with some mods I saw on PCH. It was damn near impossible to keep up with them and try to snag some shots, but here it is anyway. (I was sitting shotgun in my roomates WRX for this pic)

Ill keep hunting for some nice cars.

Very nice cars! I love this section more and more! the E-type is sure a rare sight!

thanks, im tryin to keep my camera with me at all times the only problem is that when I see a nice car it usually takes to long to get out the camera and get a good pic of it. Most turn out like crap (like the last photo up there) but ill try and photo whatever I can.

I know what you mean

it was complicated for me too

but then I found a way to put my camera at close reach, well stuck behind the emergency brake, of course already turned on. And I keep it always on not allowing it to go in standby

Careful your giving all your secrets away TT.....

LOL he doesn't own an E36 like I do. But now that I think about it, maybe you can manage to put a camera in that location also in the A4.. it just depends wich camera he uses

Ill try it out TT. Ive been keeping it in the little pocket on my driver door. The hardest thing about taking the photo from the car is getting a good pic while not crashing into something. All the nice cars always seem to be in the wrong spots too. They are usually driving in the other direction or across a few lanes of traffic. I was thinking about making a little mount to have it hang from my sunroof and be able to swivel, im gonna work on it see if I can find a solution.

What I really want though is this system for all my cars.

It would be super expensive but it would be cool to have a few video cameras and some mics pointed in every direction. The gear shift input selector is a cool idea but it looks pretty ugly.
