Why was your shutter speed so slow? It caught the cars passing by and put them as blurs... you should have selected the fastest shutter speed on your camera

KaJuN · August 4th, 2007, 10:39 PM

I live in a boring town and this is about as exotic as we get.

It really filled up that parking space!

hehe, your shadow looks like you're holding a gun, like James Bond 8)

In Qatar now, here are some of my sightings for the last 10 days or so...

Salar · August 6th, 2007, 07:54 AM

today

omarmakki · August 6th, 2007, 03:36 PM

@tedb43o2o3
You're right... Bentleys are just way too common these days. They're starting to get really boring (with the exception of the Arnage

)

@Salar
Damn! Nice photos. What kind of camera are you using? D-SLR?

TheCleaner · August 6th, 2007, 06:19 PM

@ salar. Those photos are STUNNING! Are they dealer plates, or has this person actually managed to get a GT3 RS plate. The car looks awesome, so menacing in w/ the orange and black

Today, was just driving around and this cayenne passed me and parked. It was a red light so i tried to be inconspicuous as they got out of it. First new one ive seen, though cayennes are by no means rare, especially around this area

Salar · August 6th, 2007, 07:22 PM

Thx guys! omar, i have a D40X with 18-55mm lense.

@cleaner, the RS plates are customized for the customer. that 355 has dealer plates by the way

NecroJoe · August 7th, 2007, 05:46 AM

Here's mine from the last few days.

Forgive the quality, as they are all camera phone...especially the first one, as it was my girlfriend's Gen-1 RAZR.

Tesla Roadster on Hwy 101

GTC

Some Mustang

DB9

Raparperi · August 8th, 2007, 07:45 PM

A lovely old merc, I see this beauty almost every time I go to work

Interesting registration plate on this one...

bartboy9891 · August 8th, 2007, 08:53 PM

Veyron at the Concours, there were many many cars that were much cooler but I will upload those later in a separate thread. My hand is there to prove to a friend that I took the picture.

All on the same street, walking from the train to the bus, I was 2 Bentley Continental GT's (One in a nice dark red, which was a nice change of pace over the bajillion black ones...) a 996 Turbo, and a...don't know what generation GT3 (thing sounded like ass, though...almost sounded deisel...the thing was NOT taken care of). At that point, I decided I should turn on my camera phone, and caught a 612:

Salar · August 9th, 2007, 08:40 AM

nice pics everybody!

@ the PIG M6

Actually, I'm so lucky because my girlfriend, who didn't know a Honda from a Hyundai when we meet, was teh one who spotted it and knew enough to endager her life and the lives of others to get that pic, when I wasn't even with her in the car.

Actually, she was 1 city north of their headquarters, which is in San Carlos, CA. She was in Belmont. I've seen them before, but never could get my camera out in time. I've seen a red one peel out of a driveway as I was going into a resturaunt parking lot, and then while I was on the train, I saw a black one running along the tracks on a sort of frontage/access-road.

One of my co-workers saw an orange one fish-tailing a bit on the freeway.

Tesla has actually just leased some dealership space between my home, and my work. Once they get their "White Star" $50-60,000 sport sedan plans finalized, they'll begin working on the dealership.

Exciting times!! An electric car, with solar panels on the roof. That's the future. Fuck fuel cells. Spend 1/3 of the money we are on Fuel cells, and spend it on battery research and production. Let's keep going on biofuels so at least we get off foreign oil, even if we still have to burn shit and pollute...let's at least be a little more self-sufficient...

...says the guy who spent his evening driving around in a V-8 muscle car, taking freeway exits over and over, and doing burn-outs in random, out of the way places...

lip · August 10th, 2007, 05:16 PM

Tesla... sweet. I drive four days a week 120km per day. The tesla would be the right thing for me. But knowing me, I would probaly forget to charge it after coming home...

Anyway:
Today in St. Gallen. One picture from my time lapse camera (1 pic per second) in the car. Yep, that Lambo is white with purple stripes...

Greetings, lip

tedb43o2o3 · August 10th, 2007, 06:53 PM
