I have had a great morning, just saw this stunning 575M HGTC :shock: – my first one and it is the only one in the state so a very nice sighting!!!! The owner had taken delivery last night and came in to the Ferrari dealer to have a coffee with the salesman.
To make things even better when the owner saw me taking pics he came out (and I was getting worried) and asked if I wanted to sit in the car and have a picture taken :shock: - needless to say I jumped at the chance

I did ask if he would take me for a spin but he turned me down on that one

And on the way home I saw another Ferrari, not as spectacular but good enough, Mondial 3.2

My second Quattroporte but the first out on the road….only two pics both of which are nearly the same, but better then nothing

SL55 AMG not far from where the 575 was:

E46 M3:

996 Carrera, the best I could do trying to take a pic at 100kmh

Thanks dude, I try to always have my camera with me and this morning I was planning on taking pics of cars anyway (not a 575 HGTC though) so it was by my side

Amazing! Well done dude, great pics!! Too bad for the missed ride :bah:

BTW, what car do we see reflected into the 575's third pic?

Thanks!

Going by the 1st pic, the reflected car is an oldskool alfa 164 or something similar.

Cool 575M HGTC on the road

I only seen'em at the motorshow

edit: yeah 164, i couldnt remember the numbers

ops:

Looks Like a Alfa 164 to me man. Did u take any pics of the alfa dingo?

its this car which I took a pic of a few months ago

I think its an Alfa 164 Cloverleaf

, it belonged to a young Italian guy who turned up to look at the 575

LOL in the meanwhile I went through the rest of the pics and saw part of it in the 5th pic, sorry

For a short while, the rim seemed a Ford GT's one in that 3rd pic :shock:

Did you really think I would not post pics if I saw a Ford GT today?

TT · 03-12-2005, 07:50 AM

That's why I was puzzled

Wutputt · 03-12-2005, 10:26 AM

Wow, the 575M GTC is a nice sighting! The pics look really good.
Never saw a silver Quattroporte. It's not the best colour for this Italian imo.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked them

I dont have any interior shots as I usually only take pics which feature the entire car.....and since I sat in it I saw the details and didn't need a pic

This is the only pic I took that doesn't have the whole car, the front brakes were enormous so I took one pic of them:

yeah all these were seen on Friday and Saturday so I had a great ~36hrs

However its not always this nice obviously, it seems that the nice cars always come in a big bunch at the same time

HOLY SHIT!

the 575 is one sexy beast! Not all that common that we get to
see the wild thing in the wild.....

and yeah, those front brakes are pica size thingy's.....

how did the pic where you sit in the car turn out?

and that Maserati looks sooooo good! I pray that I'll be able to get it for
my friends weding.....I'll find out soon....

M3's are always a nice find. I can't seem to get tired of that car....I drive by a yellow one every day and every day I turn my head to admire the thing.....( posted pics of it a while ago...) link:
