Ok, transaction between Monte Carlo and Switzerland.. here are the last ones from my January trip:

As always, you just click one of them and you will find the complete 20 high-res pictures set

I am not really into american muscles, but a classic mustang in such a brillant shape is very nice!

An AC Schnitzer E38.. sweet

The DB7 gone, a C4S took its place beside the 360

And a 996TT

And a Cayenne Turbo

Near out hotel in Italy the last night, another Cayenne S and Turbo combo

A classic Silver Spirit

And now some more cars of Lausanne. Actually not that bad for a come back

From now on I must admit I changed a little bit the way I take pics. The difference is pretty obvious, and again I was inspired by Salegosse

you tell me if it's a good idea, but I think so

Oh yes, the new logo kicked in too

Thanks again Chaos!

An M3, nothing special, but always a nice sight

The infamous SRT10! My first and last so far!

Just a regular SL55

And one with the sport pack installed

What about this? I followed this GT2 with the damn 45 kmh Smart for a good 5 minutes then lost it miserabily... luckily I found it again parked in front of this dealership! YAY! 2 GT2 in Monaco and a third one in Lausanne.. in less than 2 weeks :shock:

Hehe, such a late update

Nice ones, as usual; the ACS 7 series is quite rare, I've never seen one of those (even in pics)

The grey 996 looks so clean and the Techart rims fit lovely to the Cayenne :shock:
My favourite one is the back of the Viper, americal muscle

PATo355 · 02-19-2005, 09:32 PM

the cayenne turbo wheels in the first picture are amazing

sentra_dude · 02-19-2005, 10:20 PM

Wow! That 911 GT2 is stunning!

So TT, what did you think of the shape of the SRT-10 in person?

That Cayenne looks good lowered(?) and with those gigantic wheels. 8)

I think you have said it, but what do you to for living? It seems that you have way too much free time in your hand.

I followed this GT2 with the damn 45 kmh Smart for a good 5 minutes

The viper pics make wanna buy a new camery today! The night shots are great!

And the GT2 looks so agressive.

Does that slammed down Cayenne Turbo have techart wheels?

Well, I loved it and A LOT! t has great presence, it is mean, and when you see one especially here where they are rare, you just forget all the hp / liter, consumption or efficiency stuff, you just want the owner to turn it on and take off in a big could of smoke

I don't know if it's just the angle the parking has that makes it or if it had the suspension on the lower position, definitely looking cool for a pic

(the owner was inside BTW, and when I walked past it to get the 996TT pic), I noticed he was staring at me pretty puzzled. Probably wondering why the fuck I was taking pics of a Cayenne in Monaco

I am a student, so yes, I have some spare time, but I think everybody on this planet has 5 free minutes in an average day.. especially when it's about taking a pic of a car you see once in a year or something like that :roll:

BTW, most of my pics are taken while driving around for errands or other stuff. When I go to Geneva ok, I go there just to have a walk and take pics, but in Lausanne I never go out just with that idea

Ok, I admit for the SRT10 I got a phone call by a friend near midnight about it and I just took camera and tripod to go take some pics.. it needed a total of 20 minutes with editing incuded

Nice set as always....

They definitely have a Techart feeling to me, but beeing Porsche badged make it hard to be 100% sure

dingo · 02-20-2005, 07:13 AM

Nice as we expect, the GT2 is just great....to look at anyway, as driving it might be a bit scary with RWD and no TCS

I agree with you on the Viper, it sure has a unique presence on the road...not my first choice for that much money but I wouldn't mind it

Thansk for the pics

It might be because I have been editing pics for the last 2hrs so my eyes are going all funny, but what exactly is the difference?

TT · 02-20-2005, 07:19 AM

Well, the most noticeable difference is the way I am placing the car into the frame.. while untill now it was often something like this:

With lot of air around the car, to show also the surroundings (that was my idea)

Now most of the pics will be more like this:

Just the car as a subject basically.

I also try when possible (again thanks to Salegosse), to step back and zoom on the car instead of going closer to it... still not sure if we are just seeng things, but it seems to do a difference

As for the rest, the editing is always the same as before

dingo · 02-20-2005, 07:35 AM

aahhh ok I got it.....well I don't really have a preference, with one method you get maybe a nicer overall pic while with the other you can see more of the details of the car

As for the zoom issue, I can't see how it would make a difference....i always thought is was better to get as close as possible instead of relying on the zoom

komotar · 02-20-2005, 07:42 AM

I don't know how, but it does make a difference if you zoom in , or stand close to a car.

02-20-2005, 07:51 AM

Lovely pics matteo

I like your new method, so long as we get to see some of the background when you are in a beautiful location

Congrats on te SRT-10 sighting, not sure i'll ever see one in the flesh LOL Good to see your minions working hard to spot cars for you

Also LOL at the thought of the little smart car as a persuit vehicle

So do you miss that little baby atall? or is it just nice to be able to do over 45km again

BTW nice new logo on the later pics, new? or did i only just notice it?

Yes, I always thought the same, and even if my brain still tells me he can't really put the finger on the difference, there is indeed something.
And as long as you don't rely on the digital zoom but only the optical one, you won't mess up the quality of the shot

If you think it could be possible to miss a Smart, and even worst a Smart 45 it is because you never drove one!
And it is obviously the worst pursuit veichle you could imagine! I was lucky for the Gt2 but because of that thing I missed a black 550 and a black Scaglietti :bah:

BTW nice new logo on the later pics, new? or did i only just notice it?

Well it was done some weeks ago by Chaos but the pics watermarked with it are just starting to come from now on

frozzu · 02-20-2005, 09:20 AM

WOW! I really like the srt10 and the GT2 is AMAZING! Especially in those colours.
