Default Feb 17: Bugatti EB110, Khamsin, Vette, Brabus...

Back in time, last pics from April 2005 and definitely some interesting sightings.

click any preview to see the full 20 high-res pics update

For a start, a couple more pics from my Lambo friend collection.. sorry if I torture you with couple more pics of one of the GTR but the open doors lineup was cute. The old Brabus 600SEL is owned by him too, and I love older Brabus models!



This was for sure the highlight of the Spring/Summer. Even if it was placed like shit, to spot an EB110 is something totally mad. This one caused many discussion on a french forum because it could be the one on which Rinspeed based one of their concept back in the 90s, maybe reconverted to normal specs.. sadly I didn't take enough pics, especially of the interior, for the experts to be sure...
It was somebody attending the Lamborghini Open doors BTW


Not too fond on the bling wheels, but this generation of Vettes was so sexy!


Lotus Seven.. honestly I don't remember where I spotted this one.. probably it was somebody attending some event.. still rare on the road :good:


Pretty rare to see green 996.. if it's a C4S, even better


And lastly, a super Khamsin, something you never see on the road nowaydays!


Enjoy!

Woohh!!! What a great update!!! :shock:

That Brabus 600SEL is awesome!!! :shock: Too bad there's only one pic :roll:

The old Vetter is damn sexy too. Those wheels look great with the black body 8)

The Lambo line-up picture is stunnig, and that green 996 C4S is something very rare.... and it doesn't look bad at all.

n/p for the two Diablo pic, they look nice with the open doors

Rare sight the EB110 , congrats
do you know by chance the ZH plate number?
the light conditions were a little tricky with the bright sunlight, but who will complain if you see a EB110
the green C4S is nice too

I like the 360 infront of the Boutique


Thanks TT for the update!

I'm not much of an EB110 fan, but it is indeed an amazing sighting and one I surely won't ever accomplish in Perth.

The 996 C4S is just sublime, I love that car and the green is actually nice on it IMO. :good: Nice 360/3200 combo pic too!

Thanks for the update.

I know it's rare and I adore this car. Sadly we were stopped at this red light, so only a single angle possible, and anyway right after having shoot the pic the light turned green, he went his road and I had to take the highway.. so ... :bah:

Nope, I started using the new camera in November, so we have several months of street sightings still featuring the old Pro 1
I think I was just paying more and more attention to details while shooting the pics :bah:

Dang, nope, I didn't keep the originals and that day I was "alone" there, so I can't tell you to ask Darkel if maybe he still has them
Can't even remember if it was a garage plate or not...

Dang, indeed quite shitty to know the first day it was there and then disappeared

Well, at least it was worth to cover the distance twice for me

Excellent! Even though it was positioned less than perfect, the EB110 was absolutely stunning. From rear 3/4 view the lines are so pure and powerful. Can't say the same about the Veyron...

Too bad you were unable to shoot more pics of the Khamsin. Those cars are simply gorgeous.
