Default Amazing convoy I followed today: Enzo, MC12 and F430!!

I followed them for 20 minutes. Starting in Geneva and ended on a French highway
If I could have popped up at that crossroad 30 sec later and miss them

Actually I saw the Enzo at first, I did a crazy U turn where if caught you will probably end up in jail, burned a red light and chased it down. Finally I reach it and I notice something else in front of it.. the MC12! I have plenty of pics of these two cars taken inside the dealership (on my website soon). And in front of the MC, an F430 you can barely see in this pic of mine!
They were heading to France, the dealership is closed 7 days so I guess the staff is attending some sort of meeting or whatever.
Sadly I couldn't take a single pic from the side of the road and once I realized we were entering France, it was too late, it was an highway and they floored it, leaving me all alone :bah:

Still, this shot is ok I guess, and a once in a lifetime sight I think!


And the second shot (actually it was the first, before I could shoot outside the side window the other one)

Nice sighting - someone over at PH saw the exact same convoy combo in the UK, albeit I think the MC12 was in black

HAHA, luckily traffic lights helped me out and of course I was willing to burn every red one that would have tried to stop my hunt It easy to follow even a 1500+ hp convoy in town, even with a bicycle obviously.. sadly the highway finally came and they were bored to see my mad face in the rearview mirrors

I added the only other pic in the first post BTW.. basically same moment, but shot from inside my car just in case they would have disappeared

Either that or the connecting rods deciding to add a window or two in the side of the block

*edit* i love the way the F430 tail lights are playing hide and seek through the MC12 spoiler in the second pic. Excellent shots TT

The pic is very good tho ... did you take it on the fly ?

The enzo ... the huge wing in the front , and the 430 lights inside the wing ... lovely
