[budagboy2]

Nice pics, m3 is my favorite

[oscargarza88]

wow, some reallty nice pics!!
i specially liked the s4, it liiks ver cool with the wheels!

[Erez]

damn! what a view!! :shock: nice landscape there TT
great shots as always! thanks for high res linking but a lot nice pics aren't linked.. why?

great pics TT!! really nice! hope you had fun!

[TT]

Well, I only did in high-res the ones where you can't see strange reflects because of the windshield or other imperfections or also car parked between others...

[Erez]

really?






these are bad too?

still a great job but so many pics i was sure more would be high res

BTW- thanks for all the hard work pal!

[skituner]

awsome pics
i wish those cars where that common here in the US

[TT]

TT, i'm wondering, are cars that cheap in swiss? Cus you show us all the time those great pics and you would take weeks to shoot cars like that here in belgium. Unless you go to Knokke on a hot summersday...

Well, for sure the taxes we pay on cars are much lower than in most part of Europe.. but still such cars are not really "cheap"... it's just that probably Lausanne and were my parents live, as long as Geneve, Zurich and St.Moritz, are packed with wealthy people

[b]Erez - the 996 Cabrio was shoot from very far away and the resulting pic is just a small cropping.. to do a 1600x1200 the car would have been very small and you would have just an high-res petrol station pic
The CL was very blurry.. it's ok that small but some sharpening but not in high-res
Same goes for the SLK
And the 350Z had cars on both sides, crappy ones

dani - are you referring to the second Jag? Because I think the first is a R while not sure for the second

[Erez]

thanks TT

[TT]

Oh my god LMAO!

[1zippo1]

Nice pics TT!!

By the way, I was wondering: the car wich you labeled as "At night.. very sad because the car is amazing! (CLICK FOR 1600x1200)"

Is that an bmw 645? That's what I guess from the back lights & the alloys.

Oh and something else: man, how the fuck do you take some many pics while driving I know that there are a lot of nice cars in Swiss, but this is incredible.
So your girlfriend drives all the time while you take pics, or you have something like the apache helicopter has, a photo camera that points itself in the direction of where you're looking

[TT]

Yep a 645

And dude.. I drive AND take pics ... I have the camera always hanging from my neck, always on and beeing 8 MP I don't need to use the zoom... so it's just point, wait for the focus to be ok and shoot
But of course for some of the trickier pics I stop for a while LOL or at least slow down a lot if nobody follows me
