Default Monterey 2007 sightings

No trip to Monterey would be complete with out seeing a few Bugattis. This time I saw three. Got to photo two of them sort of.





Every Bugatti I saw being driven, the driver was on his cell phone.

I had never seen this car before.











Do to the lateness of the day the lighting was pretty funky.

Naturally its a black car parked in the shade of a tent, not ideal.





First time I have seen this car in person. Too bad its so expensive as it is a pretty hot looking car.

Sorry hand held a little soft.

Philip, why don't you just create ONE THREAD about your Monterey sightings?

This was taken at the corkscrew at Laguna Seca. There were about seven F40's who got parada laps on Friday. They were guided by a 40mph pace car but there was some rubberbanding so they had a little fun.

I think the three cars looks better than just two. I think I need to photoshop the fence out.



To bad they couldnt stay closer together.

Here are the other photos from the Corkscrew, Porsches this time.







These guys were racing, so they were much tighter and I got four together.
