Default Apr 12: M3 CSL, 993 C4S, DB9, Tuscan, 575M, 997S...

Here I am are with some "new" pictures to share. Taken end January or beginning February in Ticino, the region were my family lives. Basically all of them in Lugano, the main town there (just giving some background informations )

Click any pic to be taken to the full 20 high-res pics update

In alphabetical order, Aston comes first and this was one of my first DB9 actually. parked like that on the sidewalk, owner inside, but still ok to take some pics. What a sexy car!


Oh well, I always like the M3 and this one seems slightly slammed to the ground


Another one.. moving


And if the M3 is not enough, maybe you'd like a CSL?


A pretty famous garage/dealership, Loris Kessel's.. sadly you are usually not allowed to take pics in an area because they keep also customers' cars in there, and anyway there isn't much space in the two small showrooms.. so I just took this one, looking weird with the Honda sign on top


And now a 575M in the wild.. sadly the sun was going away, so lighting conditions were fucked up.. I missed a yellow 550 because of that :bah:


A Focus RS... no idea why he had to splatter it with stickers and add the wing but well...


Jaguar XKR cabrio, always classy


C32 AMG for sale


I absolutely love this pic. It was just an SL500, but the driver saw me while I was focusing on the road before he entered the shooting zone, and he tought I was taking a pic of the house, that's why I think he is looking that way Too bad for the weird colors


A 964, can't remember if this one was some special anniversary edition or not


Another Porsche ass.. this 993 C4S with golden BBS was sexy as hell! And loud too!


One more step toward the present generation, 996 cabrio ass


And here we are with yet another 997S.Sadly I had no polarizer filter yet, so the reflections/glares are way too strong


And finally one of the best catches of those days.. my first Tuscan speed 6! LOUD!

mmmm....the DB9 is so beautiful, did the owner not care or didn't he see you taking the pics?
I also really like the CSL, still waiting to catch the one in Perth .....and the 993 C4S is still looking good Shame about the yellow 550 - I'm sure it will appear again
THanks for the update

I loved the M3 CSL most, it looks so awesome from behind, like a sexy latina's ass

And of course the Merc's 8)

I love AM! thanks for the update, TT
The Honda-shop is cool as well

btw, people from the other side of the MonteCeneri wouldn't agree on "the main town there" in Ticino

I think he was looking for something in the glovebox and I was very quick just in case so I think he didn't notice.

HAHA, I see that, like many swiss people living in the german part, you know my Ticino pretty well

Of course there are Bellinzona (regional capital) and Locarno wich are pretty big and "important" too, but Lugano is still the third economical pole after Zurich and Genève

Relatives of me live in Locarno, I spent a few vacations on the "Lugano"-side , near a town called Tesserete...

Next question: Ambri (HCAP) or HC Lugano 8)

i think this is an anniversary model because of the 911 badge and the wide back-fenders

Hehe Locarno is some sort of "little Germany".. last time I was there, I had problems because nobody seemed to speak italian LOL! 99% of the population during summer is German or anyway swiss speaking german and at the restaurant it was impossible to have a menu written in my fucking language

As for the Hockey matter, believe it or not, I don't give a fuck LOL, I don't even know in wich league Ambrì and Lugano play :shock:

me neither, but I know from my cousins, that there is a BIG difference between HCAP and HCL ( I think Monte Ceneri is again the "border" between the supporters).. so, you're supposed to be a HCL- fan
