Geneva Motorshow coverage!
 
Ok guys, no need to spend 1000 words about it, especially since I was so late with the editing! I wanted them online yesterday, but with 510 pics to go through, it was impossible!

I hope you will enjoy this massive coverage! The pass really helped to access every stand, every backstage, every cool thing, and once again I can't thank Jabba enough for making it possible!!! It was a blast, I never walked that much in a single day, not even stopped to eat or to piss! Just 5 minutes to meat jackaraman and another 5 to meet komotar (hello guys!) my legs hurt, and now my eyes too after so many editing hours, so you better enjoy the pics!

And please note the extra effort: this time we have cars but also a bonus page with babes ;)

BTW, you can also access a "best of" from the portal, but it is meant basically for the ones too lazy to check the forum LOL

To rename all the pics and do all the copy & paste needed to create the pages was a real nightmare, so I am happy somebody noticed ;)
It would have been heaps better to have them renamed from 001 to 226.jpg ;) but I like the fact ppl can know what car they are looking at by checking out the file url/name ;) so I reduce the # of emails I get asking what car it was ;)
And well, that Alfa, called "Diva" is a concept car by Bertone, so not likely to be built one day :(

Last year when I posted the Geneva pics the visits were boosted to around 200% and never stopped growing ever since, so it's kind of a lucky charm for me ;) only difference is that if the visits to my website will double now, the server will simple explode as long as my bank account

Yup, Sbarro's

I crossed ways with Tom but didn't dare to bother him. Beside a camera man he was all alone.

redbaron 03-01-2006 03:34 PM

Very nice pics, I hope you had some time left to enjoy your day.

That blonde Lancia babe is really hot :fadein:

Wutputt 03-01-2006 03:49 PM

Superb coverage, and the picture quality is as we expected: awesome ;)

I went through all the pics, and I'm confident this is one of the best motorshows - concidering the number of premieres - within the last years

raphaelws 03-01-2006 03:49 PM

I'm impressed!!
My favourite? 599 GTB Fiorano :love:
Thanks TT amazing coverage!! :clap:

Did you really enjoy it though or did it seem like work this year ?

ARMAN 03-01-2006 04:40 PM

Yes, we ofcoure noticed that every pic has full name of the car in the link otherwise I would be lost :mrgreen: Had to be a pain to do it so BIG thanx for that TT :P :wink:

Its shame you didnt chat with Tom :( You could tell him that 5g sux :mrgreen: jk Maybe Komotar or Jackaraman did meet with him?

pzgren 03-01-2006 04:54 PM

TT - absolutely great work, i appreciate your effort with the pics - thx mate!!!!

TT 03-01-2006 04:54 PM

I wonder how he reacted on Pagani stand where they had an LCD screen playing the Top Gear Zonda F review constantly :D

komotar crossed ways with him too but don't think he had time to stop. No idea for jackaraman

c0wb0y007 03-01-2006 05:16 PM

Nice pictures TT !!!

Can't wait to see the Apollo in real life :twisted: :!:

Those porsche pictures are very good, you choose a really nice angle there especially the one of the new Turbo. It's not that easy making nice pictures on motorshows; Job well done

Thanks for sharing mate !

Cheers

we were puting you into a hard work, but you made it just as simply stunning as possible - well done, great job!!! but I wouldn't want to be sitting by comp doing all the work over and over again in such short time :shock: - balance colours, levels, cropping, adding logos, saving... uffff, no thank you, even if it's pre-defined :D .....

thanks a MILION TIMES TT, can't wait for the zip file :D (will that be available for all of us?)

coombsie66 03-01-2006 07:12 PM

Superb pics TT, the new 997 GT3 looks sweet and the rinspeed 997 is positively wank worthy too! The blue MC12 Gt spec is droul worthy!!!! I love the intake restrictors encorperated into the roof scoop moulding.
Great work TT. 8)

Thanks dude. For sure it ain't easy to be original. That's why I am happy to be the first posting pics LO: Of course I tried some "different" things like the Porsches from the little restaurant up above, but you soon run out of ideas and difficult to stay inspired 10 hours

LOL, I looked in a hurry? You should have seen Komotar, looking exactly like those ppl with one foot already on the train leaving the railway station ;)

yg60m 03-01-2006 09:19 PM

Thanks again a million times TT for your work, it's great to have such report for JW exclusive 8) :D

lorbmw69 03-01-2006 10:32 PM

WOW!! THOSE ARE GREAT PICS!!!!

The New Spyker SUV looks terrible! But the new Alfa is great! Thanks!

bmagni 03-01-2006 10:50 PM

Holy Crap !!!! a new viper GTS-R by ORECA !!!! some competition for the C6-R.
Do you have more pics of it ??

geekdiggy 03-02-2006 01:23 AM

i don't know of any other car forum that can provide this kind of thing to the public and it's members. freakin amazing. i've neglected the auto scene for so long now some of these new concept cars astonish me and i dont even know the names/stories of half these machines but that didn't keep my eyes from damn near shooting out of my head.

the 06 focus rally car made me drool. (and i nearly shat myself to see gronholm's name on the side of it).

Schwalbe 03-02-2006 01:38 AM

Thank you so much Matteo for this awesome Geneva Motorshow coverage with your report and all those professional pictures you took there. http://www.rs6.com/smilies/thumbsup.gif

With all these RS4 (Avant,Sedan and Cabrio), it was the Motorshow by excellence for RS4 fans, fortunately you were there for us. On that, thank you Jabba to have made that possible for TT. There are too many great pictures in your Motorshow gallery TT, like the superb Auto-Union Typ C 1936, the Porsche 997 GT3 & turbo, those Lambos and the Zonda F... :P



PS: If you have more pictures of the red Audi B7 RS4 Avant, just PM me buddy. :wink:

dingo 03-02-2006 06:17 AM

WOW.....why would I want to go to Switzerland and see the show myself anyway, these pics are enough. :P

A stunning array of cars, what more could you ask for (an FXX maybe?).

The 599GTB is really growing on me, the front and side profiles are very nice - its only those rear lights (275 GTB style) that don't look right IMO. :bah:

The LP640 Murci is a true beast, but I really need to see it in a proper Lambo colour like green or orange. :D

Zonda F - holy shit!!!! :drool:

Nice to see some old-timers like the Miura and 250 Tdf too. :D

Many thanks TT, and also I think Jabba deserves another mention for making this all possible. :good:

How is the light BTW?? good enough for taking pics without tripod?? which stands caused you more trouble?? I suppose that the Brabus stand is a nightmare as usual! :?...

Well, the GT3 and 997TT are on revolving platforms, like a couple of cars last year. you can stay at the barrier and take some pics of them, not sure how wide your lense is, but a 18mm should be plenty enough. Sadly when the car is revolving, it isn't helping. It was especially bad for the pics from up above, I wouldn't have think so ...
As for light, on most stands ok. I was shooting most of the time with the tripod to have a slow shutter and have blurried moving ppl around the cars, but when shooting the ladies for instance I was always shooting w/o the tripod, F2.8 and ISO 200 or 400 for worst cases. I think your camera too can go up to ISO400 at least without terrible noise, so it should be good for most stands. Koenigsegg and Pagani are the worst: not enough light and revolving cars. Brabus is as always cramped. but since this time I was able to be inside too, I am not sure how bad it is LOL. for sure you can see it was tricky to fit the whole R in the shot from the front (16 mm wide open and tripod as high as it can go (around 190 cm I think)

Nope sorry, no more pics, but I would have liked to have a camera since they revved the hell out of it while presenting it :D (I was kinda far away, on the BMW stand when I heard some right pedal blips, and I doubt it was some of the weird suvs they had on stage near the Viper :D

You know I never keep pics for myself. I posted all the good pics I got ;) sadly the Audi stand was pretty crowded from 7 am to 7 pm :bah:

Well of course it is about reading some tutorials online and try to apply what they say :D I am just a noob and it took quite some time to get it right anyway

saadie 03-02-2006 10:09 AM

hand me the links ..... i got loads of free time these days .... lets see how creative i can be ... :)

Shinigami 03-02-2006 10:11 AM

I'm just back from the show as well :)

Took a few hundred pics... but I need to put them all up.

The 599 was really impressive in person btw. Was kinda 1337 to have a ticket to go up on the Ferrari stand ;)

TNT 03-02-2006 10:24 AM

hey TT did you get any of the new SX-4 WRC car?

Pehtren 03-02-2006 11:02 AM

Ok, finnaly me :D . I can say that all the pics are proffesionaly made, and they are just stunning 8)

The BESt ones for me:
-Pagani Zonda-bare carbon, really great
-blue MC12
-black murcielago roadster, great pic and fantastic car :D
-ferrari 599 :P
-Lorinser S kllasse looks really good
-sportec 997 great, but the floor disturbe me :?
-+ all the BMWs especially the new Z4M roadster

Thanks for the pics, i really enjoyed them, hope you did also, when you took them :)

stradale 03-02-2006 01:01 PM

Superb effort, TT!!!!!!!!!!! :D Thanks so much for bringing the people unable to go and see for themselves the images of the ultimate car show!

I saw the banner immediately, very cool! The pictures are of the usual quality, i.e. stunning!

I'm not a big fan of Sbarro, but when I saw this modern interpretation of the Tipo 33 Stradale my jaw dropped to the floor... :drool:

The full frontal pic of the 599 GTB Fiorano is beautiful as well. I'm not going to comment on every pic, suffice it to say there's too much fantastic machinery on them to do that.

Nice to see so much classic cars (250 GT SWB Zagato!!!!! :shock: ) as well. Who organised the display of much of the classics, like the Auto Union, the 300 SLR Uhlenhaut etc.? It looks like they were part of the same stand.

Thanks TT and of course Jabba! :D

dropot2 03-02-2006 01:13 PM

Well TT...your coverage it's just...perfect :) Tomorrow I'm going to Geneva to the Motorshow and I planned to take my digicam with me...but after seeing your pics maybe I will save them, leave my cam in my home and go to the show just to enjoy it. :) Congratulations and thanks to share them with us :wink:
