So then. A big post for me. Just back from my 'Grand Tour of Europe'. Minus Italy. Just to tell you, the pictures aren't in order that I took them. We did a linear tour, not jumping around.
Lets get started:
Audi A5 and S6, That V10 really sounds nice. I need one now. That was somewhere in the Austrian Alps.

A very nice Aston Martin DB9 Volante, in Salzburg.

A Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, in the Audi Museum car park. I have plenty of pics of R8s, but decided not to post them, because I saw around 10-15 in my day there.

Something in Reims. Any ideas?

An Austrian Mazda 3 MPS, nothing special, although I was wondering how much personalised numberplates are in Austria? And this one - how much would you expect it to go for?

MGA in Liechtenstein. It wasn't from there though. I did however see a new 911 Turbo, possibly the only one in Liechtenstein? Were moving though, so couldn't get the camera quick enough.

New Jaguar XJ At The GP/F1 Track at the Nurburgring

On to the Nurburgring now I guess.
New Jaguar S-Type in testing. I have posted it in the Automotive news section for any comments on this.

Some old Volvo, don't know what it is (help?).

Mini GP (I saw a second but was too slow with the camera)

Porsche Carrera GT and 911 GT3RS at the hotel I stayed at. Very nice. Shame it was raining, and the owners were just inside the reception, so may have complained if I went and started taking close ups of his car. Only went for one. What I want to know is why he bought it in yellow.

At The Karusell: (it was some kind of time-trial day when I went)
Aston V8 that was taken up the inside by a 911 Turbo

Honda Civic Type-R

Clio. Would be a little quicker than you're average V6.

At another part of the track:
575 and 360
http://img169.imageshack.**/img169/7052/xl801035pf6.th.jpg
Oh, and can we please remind the driver of the 360 to consider their actions before they go and attack local plant life.

Gumpert Apollo. Rather shocked me this; how many of them are there?
http://img341.imageshack.**/img341/3778/gumpertmm0.jpg
Finally: This amused me in our hotel car park in Salzburg. A parking space 3m long for Smart cars.
