Default Oct 12: Z8, F550, Miura, De Tomaso, Morgan Aero 8...

Ok, I have three "in depth" in the updates pipeline, but I realized I didn't post many streetsightings lately and my website is basically a streetsightings one at the base, isn't it?

So, let's jump back to april and let's see what I saw in Geneva that day:

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

It was a superb sunny day, I still remember it very well, and simply because that day I saw my first Miura on the road of course this update his basically just about the Miura


But there was also another sexy yellow car in town, this 550:


This is not so nice, and badly placed, but it's a De Tomaso Longchamps spider and it's rare!


Again the Elise that was in a past update.. I loved it and if I am not wrong it's the previous car of the guy that was at our meeting with the krypton green one


And another "first"... first Morgan Aero 8 on the road, sorry for the bad quality (same goes for the Z8 picture which is even worst LOL)

Ahhh finally the Miura makes in to an update.....I still remember the story of you abandoning the car and running for the sexy lady (the car).

It sure is a rare sight on the road, and looks damn stunning!!!

I also really like the 2nd pic of the 550, with that strange tree in the background.

Well, I didn't get that many fines actually, but 3 or 4 kinda nasty ones (car sightings related) in the past year are plenty enough.

As for the Morgan and Z8, the picture was very grainy and I had to pass it through Neat Image, loosing quality .

The Morgan a special version.. well every Morgan is a bit special I guess since not tons of them are produced. This is BTW a roadster with the hardtop and not the coupé if I am not wrong

OMFG!! :shock:

Those Miura pics are superb The sun and the color helped a lot

I see that you had to be in the middle of the road to take some pics. Be careful

That DeTomaso looks really cool. The only model I knew was the Pantera, wich I love 8)

Niiiice spotting!!! Beautiful pics as usual TT. I'm pretty sure that that's a Morgan Aero 8 GTN, the two-tone paintwork and side-exit exhausts are a dead giveaway.

After opening the update92 page, the page was full of yellow cars
(but not modern LAmbos or Porsche GT3, as one cxould expect )

the Miura is for sure the sight of the day!! And the waether conditions were great too, awesome pics!

The Aero8 (or GTN ...) is rare, lucky you to catch it


Thanks for the update TT
