Default Jan 26, first pics from Monaco, F430, 996 GT2, E55, 4200GT..

Ok, finally some of the pics taken in Monaco are slipping into my updates I still post them in chronological order, so this update is still 50/50 and since inside the post I like to go in alphabetical order, it will be a mess and you won't escape my long and boring comments to explain what was where

CLICK ANY PIC TO BE TAKEN TO THE PAGE WITH ALL THE HIGH-RES VERSIONS (2O PICS)

Right away with the first pic, we are in Ticino, the italian part of Switzerland where I was born and where my family lives.. it's nothing special, just an Alpina B3 I saw while taking my own Bimmer to the garage for a checkup


And now at warp speed in Monaco and look at this a twin sister


And Lausanne now, for an Arnage I see on a daily basis


But if you want to see Arnages, Monaco is the place to be:



An E39 M5 with winter wheels


And you already saw this one.. in Italy, at the sea, Santa Margherita Ligure where I spent a couple of days earlier this month! My first F430 on the road for real, the others where at the dealership or in front of it
I almost missed it! I was at a bar sipping an Ice tea with my grandma, I heard it coming, I saw the red shape, I jumped up and said bye, I will come back soon! I run but even if it's impossible to speed there because of the traffic and narrow road, I lost it.. the driver was looking for a parking place, I was almost sure since he was even slower than usually there.. so I waited a little bit and he came right in front of me to park there where the pics were taken! Sadly my two tripods were at the Hotel.. 5 minutes away but I didn't want to risk a miss, so I used a flower pot for the rear shot and the ground for the front ones




This 4200GT was in Lausanne, very well placed I think, strangely my camera refused to focus no matter how many times I tried.. so I had to do it manually wich is never easy on a digital camera.. still an ok picture


Now for the Mercedes fans a couple of CLS.. a shape I absolutely love.. the first one again in Ticino


This one in Monaco, with a nice dog pee on the side


And same crossroad, different color


We have to quickly come back to Lausanne for this sexy E55!


But the best has to come and as you can guess it was not in Lausanne or Ticino.. it's Porsche time and in this picture a 996 Cab / 996 C4S combo

And on the background you could see..

A pretty fucking gorgeous GT2 with bare carbon rear wing (another pic will for sure be in one of the next updates!)


In Ticino a sexy 996TT with some good sunset light too


This one passed us in Italy while traveling toward Santa Margherita Ligure in my grandma's Honda Civic 1.6 LOL.. I was at the wheel but as always, read to snap a pic
a 997 Carrera just in case


And last but not least, a simple Cayenne Turbo in Monaco.. same hotel as the 3 previous 996

Nice pics, the GT2 looks amazing. Did that color have hint of blue in it, or was it just sliver?

Good morning.

The pictures are awesome.

I'm sure all that warp speeding made you dizzy.

The f430 are phenomenal.

And I love the E55, I never get tired of it. It's so impressive...

And the Maser pic............ah.....it brings back sweet memories.....

btw, got the maser 300d pics today, but are not that good.Next time I'll take that camera and give my minolta to that guy...... :cry: All the close up shots were shitty... ok, better stop before stealing this topic...sorry ops:
