OHOHOH! It took me the whole day yesterday to edit all the pics I took, and now I'm about to write comments for all of them! I must be crazy, definitely crazy, but as already said, I don't like to post pics and stop... I will try to be as straightforward as possible.
Already posted in the preview pics. This was the first car that my eyes saw, when entered! And what a sight, very very nice and this is one of the rare angles that make the 645 nice also in picture!
I entered the Motorshow from Hallee 7, dedicated to tuning and all sort of accessories.. so that's why you see this Modena with bling bling wheels on the Momo stand.. but it wasn't that bad afterall
I'm not really into onboard hi-fi installation, but I had to take at least a picture.. this was an Alfa 147
5-Series, another shape that only a few love. I'm between them, and with BBS wheels you can't go wrong! No need to add anything else to this car!
Very dark pic.. even worst w/o Photoshop, but this tuned GTA was pretty damn mean!
And also a Vette, to show you we have american muscles here too
There were also quite a few 350Z on the tuner's stands. This one was not maybe the best one, but easy to shoot...
I don't really like the new Golf V, but this one on the AMAG (the company that reunite VW, Audi, porsche and Skoda) stand was clean and well presented.
An imposing Cayenne!
What about a retro-style version?
Fiat Trepiuno + lady. She was already pretty pissed of LOL and it's just the second day.. but that job should be terrible.. to stand there all day long, smiling at horny males.. Anyway, the Trepiuno is damn cute IMO.. sure a lady's car, but very cute! Sadly Fiat seems not interested in a production version
Already on Lancia stand.. everybody knows you have to go there to see the best ladies and this year was as always! Best outfits, highest heels and most gorgeous ladies!
This one is priceless... every year they place a car there.. not on a podium, where ppl can actually enter and taste it.. but they always put also a model, on the driver's seat or the front passenger one... it's almost sad to see how everybody tries to see her pussy and some dudes stand there for hours I guess... but she must be damn strong as she acted like if she was there alone
I remember last year there was like this one an Ypsilon, and again a lady.. she was on the passenger seat.. we entered the car, I was on the back seat and a friend of mine in the driver's one.. he tried to communicate with her, but she was really on another planet.. she simply completely ignore everybody... anyway nobody is intersted in speaking to her usually... those legs speak for themselfs
And the third Lancia lady.. poor pics.. not to self.. next time don't shoot with the bright Lancia logo behind her
After Fiat and Lancia, all the other stands seems dead LOL! And Lexus didn't really had some big hitter.. sure this IS300 was nice as most Lexus, but not so special maybe
The new GS is quite sexy, in pics like in the metal.. pretty nice and light shape IMO!
I never liked the SC and looking at the very few SC around my region, I fear I'm not the only one.
Crazy concept on Toyota's stand, but exagerated.. nobody was even looking at it...
Another strange concept.. the japanese always bring them in force, but well, this one was pretty boring just to watch at it LOL
The first F1.. and as always, no idea why, you can't find one of them on the ground.. or maybe just a couple.. all the others are always on the walls LOL!
Rinspeed's crazy machine! There were also some videoclips playing on various monitors on its stand... that thing flies on wather!
Also in the main rooms there are various tuners specials spread around.. this AC Schnizer X5 was to much for me...
While this Boxster was cute, but hard to shoot proprely
OK, ugly ass car, but when I saw it I remembered Top Gear's episode when Jeremy sit in it and can watch forward, over the windshield
Not sure why I shoot this offroader Fiat Idea
Terribly sexy! No more to add!
Another sexy Alfa, an nice to have it there in the middle of the people!
I just love carbon fiber
And from the back!
Autodelta took a 156 GTA sportwagon and added some spice to it!
Sadly the pics are terrible
Ok, I wanted to shoot this 147 GTA and its sexy wheels, but that dude was immobilized there.. I waited some 2 or 3 minutes.. I guess it was a statue.. he didn't move so I just took the pics and WTF
Oh nice.. another concept car prefiguring our future cars?
The GT.. bad picture, but the car is one of the most beautiful Alfas of the last years for sure!
And here we are approaching the first supercar ; with ths nice Turbo cabrio!
A "normal" 996 TT. I always see this exhaust at Motorshows, but it seems just very few customers tick it as an option. I saw maybe just one on the road.
The Boxster S, anniversay edition
And the Carrera GT finally... it's the second time I see one in the metal.. it's STUNNIG!
Here you can see a glimpse about how badly Porsche stand was sadly presented.. right in front of the CGT you can see GT2 and GT2... very close to each other.. hard to take pics sadly..
Details..
And again carbon.. this time it's the GT2's wing
And then I turned around and shoot the CGT again
Here basically I almost had to step into the CGT encolure.. and of course it's a crappy and blurry pic...
The Turbo from the front... again blurry
The 911 Targa
A "normal" Carrera
from the front
The GT2 from the front.
And also Porsche took in Geneva one of its race cars... can't wait to see meybe a LeMans prototype there
The nose of the GT3
And again the racer
Th eback wing of the GT3.. I know I seem to jump allover the place.. I could have arranged the pics in the right order, but this way you can see the confusion that reigns in my mind at such events
CGT again
This is the C4S cabrio
The first Cayenne Turbo.. little on the sissy side with this shade of silver
The S with different muffler.. I wonder if it's an aftermarked one, like for the Turbo, I guess so
And the Cayenne V6.. blurry LOL
Time for some frenchies
the rally version of the C2... the picture was to blury
This was the C2 VTR.. we can't just consider supercars
The stunning C4 WRC Concept!
A strange concept on Citroen's stand... one of the less thrilling ever I think.
The C5 estate as seem by Carlsson, as featured in many car magazines
The car that is killing the competition in the Paris-Dakar lately
The "forgotten" Lancer
you know, just the plain model... in estate form.. while the Impreza in "normal" trim (not WRX or STi) is pretty common, I think there is just one "plain" Lancer around here
Good luck in 2004 for this come back ;
Interesting display for the new Colt that took most of Mitsu's stand
And here is the Lancer that we are used to call "normal"
Its engine bay
More Colts.. I really loved the way it was displayed for its launch
This CZ3 concept was already seen if I remember correctly.. it was still there this year
EWWWW!! :shock:
re-EWWWW!!!
But Jeep's stand, like in 2003 had this very cute device.. water was falling, forming words or simple shapes.. you can barely see a "Jeep" falling there... charming!
I don't like the Crossfire, but there was a lot of ppl checking it out.. especially ladies
I wonder if such car will ever find it's place in our small roads...
A global view of just a little part of the show.. lot of ppl around.
The sporty Crossfire.. still not for me I guess.
Coupé and black.. still nothing LOL
Interesting how the G has still it's place! And the G55 is sexy! Way better than the ML IMO!
Another nice AMG... C55 this time
The CLS.. in green... nice shape afterall!
The base model of the new SLK lineup. I think I have to get used to it...
Hehe, where there is an SLR there is also this nice sculpture usually
so guess what's next
Here it is, the SLR
This reconstruction seemed so real
Back on the SLR
DTM anyone?
A big CL500
Stretched S500
Maybe the ugliest concept around?
Another car that can't miss from a Motorshow.. same place same color as seen in 2003.. I guess if they actually moved the car LOL!
Bling bling effect!
A couple of shots of the inside
Heaven for me on BMW's stand!
BMW's "individual" department always has a couple of cars to display how much you can personalize your experience
One of the cars that attracted more attention.. the 645 Cabrio
Superb wheel!!!
Plain sexy
Nice, even compared to the 6 IMO
These 3 guys were the only ones interested in the X3
Big and nice 7-Series
Another one
An M3.. no CSL around this year to avoid distracting from the M5 Concept maybe.
Another 645 cabrio
As you can see... the F1 have to be on the wall
This car will probably be the best saloon of the next years!
Almost boring afterward
There were a couple of "security" cars too!
The best seller in its cathegory... and in his new and revised top of the range form
Oh, another?
!
The new 5-series wagon was not really noticed with all the 6-Series around!
The 100EX... to damn big LOL
The Mini stand was really to much.. maybe 10 or 15 different Minis displayed.. almost a waste of space when you see how cramped Porsche was to show all its models..
Bad pic, but the queen is there.
More Mini
More Rolls
Coope S Works
Another Mini Cabrio obviously
The 407 Silhouette from the distance
Artistic shot
always a Mini hell
The Works from the front
And the 407 Silhouette again
Special edition to commemoraty the vistory in Montecarlo
And again the 407.. very nice!
The Forfour... nah..
Brabus version
Brabus Roadster
Again Brabus
The 307 CC IMO is very well done
Ok, the 407 was sure the hardest car to shoot, no doubt.. there were quite a few on display on the ground, but all of them, full of ppl!
The restyled 406 coupé
These two were un-reachable, so I had to shoot them
And this was taken with a bit of luck
Of course there was the 307 WRC on display too, although IMO it was just a plastic fake considering the very darkely tinted windows
For people wanting to wait for that, a nice way to distract from the real cars
In the meanwhile the 307 WRC continued to rotate
I have nothing against an estate Jag.. and this one is a beauty!
Well.. where there is a wall, there should be an F1 somewhere...
A diesel Jag is harder to accept than an estate IMO.. but “sadly” in Europe it’s becoming the biggest market...
The perfect color
The S60R
No idea what this was about LOL
A car designed by women.. the dildo car?
V50, very nice
DB9 Volante.. to die for!
With a roof, still nice
No idea why I didn’t first complete Aston’s lineup... an ST170
Vanquish
You could play also on Ford’s stand
The crazy Range Rover concept
Classic shapes never die
There was an hidden DB9 in an enclosed space, for customers I think.. but my long arm helped to have a sneak peak
Ford Vision
Some Fiesta RS and ST shots (happy jon_s?)
Another nice ST, the 220 wagon
One of the RX-8 on display.. strange color
More conventional color, but chrome wheels?
Will this small sporty Mazda hit the road?
An hydrogen propulsed RX-8... not many infos about it
Don’t ask, I don’t remember LOL
More tuners
Not really much hype for the SV.. it was there in a very small space, nobody around it to admire it...
A Thunderbird in a plain horrible color shade
The little Lada racer. I love the Supertrapp muffler!
Uhm... I fear I don’t remember on who’s stand was this “Black Jag”
Lorinsen’s stand was impressive!
Sportec has also some nice cars around.. and I love their wheels!
Very mean Boxster
A special stand for Brabus’ Maybach! And strangely enough, not much interest in it!
Compared to last year when they displayed the Boxster based GTS, Stola took this strange Lancia based limo this year...
Nice racing NSX
WTF?!?!? This should be a Formula 3000 car! An F1 can’t simply be on the floor!!
Racing S2000
Nice NSX, never seen one in red before
And the little sister, always in red
The HSX concept
Very aggressive Accord estate concept
And another concept, based on a Civic this time
Uhm.. not the most desirable sporty little car maybe
A couple of concepts
Colin’s
There was more interest in the RX-8 than in the 350Z
The Mk 2 Clio V6 is very nice for sure!
The Modus concept
The new Clio 182
Lancia Stilnovo…
Familiar shape?
Another new CC will hit the road soon
The sporty version of the Mégane
To change a little from F1
But then..! .. BTW, is this considered a wall?
The Wind concept.. pretty nice
The most boring stand was Toyota’s for sure.. only grey cars.. all oriented in the same direction with the same distance between them.. clean but boring.
The new Astra.. will it be able to close the gap with the Golf finally?
Interesting fan job on Opel’s stand.. refreshing for sure
And the Tigra CC
I love the new Legacy
A blurry STi
Playtime again
Go Peter
An Ibiza Cupra shooted form Subaru’s stand...
A plain WRX
Misterious car.. based maybe on a Vette, but difficult to say...
Tuned CTS
Irmscher stand
Another mistery.. this time the interior was clearly Mercedes
Here is is again
A jump back in time.. Mini estate (by a tuner)
Zagato anyone?
One of the best concepts produced by VW lately
Despite its terrible sales stats, the Phaeton still draws some public at motorshows
Not really a great Paris-Dakar... maybe next year
No idea about this car
More Mercedes tuning
And here is a true beat.. CCR..
And last one.. with style
Last year Laraki presented some supercars.. to similar to Ferraris probably since this year the brought this monster... one the ugliest tails EVER!
The Spyker is still nice
While passing by...
Very busy area LOL.. time for a Lotus
And a Bugatti.. I wonder if this car will have the record for the biggest number of participation in car shows before hitting the road.. it probably already helds it.
Zonda’s wheel
The Roadster is stunning
Bugatti again.. sadly my memory card was ending and I had to reduce the number of shots per car
Bentley is proud about this car of course
First Audi..
Imposing Bentley!
T & R toghether
The Continental GT.. bad picture, nice color
This is a Murcielago’s powerplant
And here is the whole car
First shot of the Roadster.. I will repeat myself, but the color choice was wrong IMO
Back for a second on Audi’s stand while I was turning around Lambo’s
Again the Roadster
The Gallardo may be the cheapest of the lot, but it is still gorgeous
Again Audis
Smaller engine, still a mighty one
Yes, it goes inside there
Detail of the muffler of the concept
Not a Lambo, but fucking fast car
Not an F1, but another car on the wall.. very nice placed.. took me some 5 minutes to notice it
Also the A6 drawed much attention
As most of the other Audis
The A3 is miles ahead the new Golf IMO
Ferraris are there now! Two Scaglietti were on display... and in the metal as always, it’s completely different and better.
Another F1 on the ground.. just because Ferrari’s stand has no walls around it
And in front of it there was Maserati’s stand with the MCC and MC12
And the sexy extreme GT
Turn around and you see a 575M!
And then on the other side a Coupé
Stunning, simply stunning
I kinda like the Quattroporte!
The CS in black, striped
And then a couple of 360s
Really low on pics.. I will cover this part of the show next week-end.. here are the Vettes
And the Exige
Hummer? To bad there was no H1 around
No idea about this one.. I was almost running at that point
Last one for now
I hope you enjoyed at least 1% of that I did beeing there
it’s already enough for car nuts
More pics will follow in around 7 days
