Default Pics of Mercedes R class and CLS and Spyshots of Werkswagen

Hey JW!
Havent heard from my ass in a long time. Anyways I am here on a road trip at a cousins house in Texas.


Not enough time to tell whole story but I am at a cousins house in Courpus Cristi Texas and we went out and then stopped at a gas station to fill up and as I was waiting in the van wirh my brother and other cousin I saw 2 or 3 SL's pull up and was like wow 3 at the same time? and then saw a bunce of S classes and so on pull up and I couldnt believe it so I look for the camera ASAP and see a few of them go away but the others came to the gas station and I was like but anyways I saw the Sl's and such pull up and was like nice took a few shots here and there from the van and then saw the BRAND NEW R class pull up next to us. I was about to get out and start taking more pics but my bro said dude you would look stupid taking pics of other peoples cars so I was like it. Anyways I saw this SUV which looked like a M class of some sort and found out later it was some Werkswagen. I havent herad of that yet. Also just when we were about to leave the CLS pulled up! I dont think I got many good pics of that though.


Anyways here is a few pics I took like 50 pics but will post only like 5 or 10 since I am bout to go play some poker. BTW the folks with the mercedes were from California and were I suppose a dealership since all of them had the plates 5506.




R Class tuned -


Had a VERY nice sound with the tuned muffler.









CLS





Thats it for now. When I get more time later I will post the others. BTW sorry for the crappy pics. I got done taking like 400 pics on the USS Lextigtion or something like that and my batteries were running kinda low.




*EDIT*

BTW kickass job on the new look of the site looks fucking awesome! if only we had one thats safe around work or parents!


*EDIT AGAIN*
Not to be flamboyuant but I took this picture in Arkansas Zoo a few weeks ago. I think one of the best pics I took.



Tigers fighting


I got a few hundred of these as well. I will post them when I am not on vacation or busy. Anyways take care my friends at JW.

It seems the AMG version and with no cover whatsoever! Well done! Too bad about the quality, but you got a damn rare sight

Sory bout the quality. My batteries were running a bit low since I got done taking around 400 pics of the USS Lexigtion. Anyways those pictures will be up when I get some time.

I will try to post my other pics of that Werkswagen when I get time.
BTW Werks in German I found out means Test and Wagen means car.

BTW here is a little better pic-

Great catch!
As TT said, probably the AMG version.

btw, 'Werkswagen' means something like 'work in process car' in English. Can't really find a better translation, maybe our German visitors can help me

Pimp, I am trying to understand how having almost empty batteries could lower the quality of a picture

Well I dont really know much about cameras so I thought that might be one of the reasons. Plus its only a 1.3 Megapixel camera and I didnt have a tripod with me. So most of the reason the pics are bad is because of the 1.3 mp camera and no tripod and not good light I suppose. Also for some reason these pics are around 400 kbs while some others I took at a zoo a few weeks ago were all the way up to 700 and 800 KB's! Anyways I will try posting more pictures when I get the chance.

HEhe ok, this makes more sense.. maybe you also used digital zoom and that's why the quality dropped... too bad but the rare sight remains

Ya I used zoom as well. Not alot though since they were rite next to me. I was gonna go out and start taking pics but there was like 10 cars and my family are like you cant go and just take pictures of someone elses car. I argued alot and was like ah fuck it. I told them why the Benz had black tape on the emblem and the bumper was black and they are like thats bullshit. So I was like ah fuck it. Anyways next time I will be sure to get better pics. When I was in Dallas I saw a few Gallarados but that day I forgot the damn camera ion the Hotel! We are gonna be heading back to San Antiona and Houston by tommorow or so and I will try to stop by the Ferrari and Lamborghini places over there.
