Default 2 360CS's, 2 DB9's, Vanquish S, ZR-1, Race Camaro, 2 Zagato

Well I went down to Lake Forest Sports Cars (click the www button below my sig) And saw 3 DB9's, a 612 Scaglietti, 2 360 CS's, 2 Zagato's, a Vanquish S, my (I wish) 550 Barchetta is still there. It seems that some one had purchased that F40 and Enzo.

first off the DB9 I saw when I got there was already in the back of their delivery truck since the guy that bought it got it for his kid and bought himself the Vanguish S below (Both in black):


Here's the first DB9 inside:


here's the second DB9:


here's the Zagato's (and an ass shot of a DB7 Vantage GT):


OK now for the 550's and one shot of a 456:


Now for the 612:


OK the Quattroporte (I swear the damn thing never moves form that spot):


Maserati Grand Sport:


Now the 360CS in Rosso Corsa with the Stripe:


Now for the 360CS in Silver:


OK now a very rare American car known as the ZR1:


And finally a fully Race Prepped Camaro (sadly no specs):

OK...so you definetely had a sub-par car-spotting day in other words.

Great shots man, but I don't see a DB7GT anywhere, only a Volante.

That silver DB7 is a GT only a convertible version I've posted pics of it before, it's been there for a while sadly, you can see the front of it in one of the DB9 pics.
And I wouldn't call it sub-par either although for me it isn't much higher than my daily viewing. I just don't take pics while driving since traffic around here is bad enough as it is. And the fact that my camera is never charged. Hell it died right after that Q-pot. The Aston guy's 05 E55 was next to my car and next to it was a new 545 and there was Range Rover next to that. outside was a bevy of older cars. But sometimes you have to save the battery for what you can considering it was a spur of the moment thing. On the way home I saw a brand new (no plates yet) XKR and SL600. But I should stop before I list too much.

PS: Camera Batteries are charging right now.

Aww man, sorry T-bird, I didn't mean to sound serious, I was just kidding around. You got quite a few nice cars in a day there, a lot more than I see on a regular basis (at least while I'm at school).

I'm still going to stick by my theory that that isn't a DB7 GT...I wasn't aware of Aston having produced any convertible GTs nor GTAs for that matter. In addition, the rear end doesn't have the appropriate changes, granted it's a volante, but the rear bumper hasn't been altered to GT spec. The grill may well be mesh, but that was a factory option on all DB7 Vantages. Perhaps the thing that makes me suspect that it's really just a DB7 Vantage Volante is the bonnet. The GT/GTA engine, even though only mildly massaged (435bhp instead of 420bhp) produced quite a bit more heat and as a result hood vents were introduced. I don't see them on the silver Volante in those pictures.

Yeah I Figured you were joking but I figured why not.
I'm going to be seeing a lot less in the coming months since Winter is here.

Very nice lineup! The light is sadly not really "right", but maybe if you could take a tripod with you next time it would be even better and you could avoid using the flash or the visit wasn't planned in advance maybe?

Yeah I was kind of driving by and had time to kill. And the Camera I had is too small for a tripod, unless you know of one that doesn't screw into the bottom but clamps on it somehow like a phone holder in a car.

Ah no, all the ones I saw need to be screwed in

BTW, don't you hate the new method used by imageshack to shrink the images into your screen? They load in full size and then shrink.. of course you can save them and get the "real" pic, but to judge the quality w/o saving them is a nightmare now since that autoshrinking thing is shitty.

you know you can click on the pic to make it bigger? Yes it is annoying but Firefox does it automatically so I'm used to it already.

here's my camera pic with some really jacked up light

Hey T-Bird, are you really sure that that Volante is a GT? I edited my previous post in here to explain some of the reasons why I don't think it is.
