Purple Ferrari, anyone?

I figured out one reason my pictures with the phone are so blurry. Upon closer examination, I found I hadn't removed the plastic protective film that was over the lens.

In the mean time, here are two nearly identical pictures I managed to get whilst following behind a very nice drop top Barracuda while I was out for a drive.

He is damn lucky to get a photographer with your skill and talent to want to shoot his car. If he doesn't want a shoot, it's his loss.

Saw a F355 and Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Champion edition Corvette Z06 today.

Based on the sticker at the front - yes, the car takes part in the Silvretta Classic (sorry, I found no english infos) which takes place from 3rd so 6th of July.

haz · July 5th, 2008, 09:19 AM

for you non-VW keen people, I don't think you get how big this spotting is, at least for me.

This is a Golf MKV Oettinger, a rare vehicle..

I don't turn around to look at an M3, but this I crossed the streets for...

Does this have the same 4-cylinder engine? Because 4 exhaust pipes for a 4-cylinder looks ridiculous.

lip · July 5th, 2008, 07:51 PM

Today:

Opel Kadett B, all-wheel mudflaps and non-level door hinges FTW

VW Phaeton W12

Alfa Romeo 1900 or 2000 (not sure about that, clarification please

)

Jaguar XK120

Mercedes-Benz W180

Greetings, lip

Well, as far as I can see Oettinger only offers tuning kits for the GTI, 1.4 TSI and the TDI-models so yes it should be a 4-cylinder engine but if the owner opted for the highest boost the power goes to 330 bhp - out of a 2000 cc engine...

Yeah Raparperi, but I put all my pics in one post this time.

fbc · July 6th, 2008, 01:24 AM

Am I the only one finding themselves looking at the scenery & villages & lip's shots rather than the cars?

Greetings, lip

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a MGC not a MGB? IIRC they had the 2.9 litre straight 6?

Eye-Q · July 6th, 2008, 07:34 PM

Nitpicker...

Yes, I think it's you're right, the MGB has a bonnet without bulge and the horizontal chrome stripe.

Anyway, I just realized it is parked in front of the International Space Station...

All I knew was it was an MG. I only guessed the B.
Anyway, nitpicking in a friendly way like this is a good thing. And furthermore, staying cool after beeing named nitpicker earnes you a positive rep from me.

BTW: Has any of you nitpickers more info about the old Alfa I posted earlier?
