Ford GT, Cayman S, 996 turbo, C6...
These are the first spotting with my new Nikon D50, 8)
All three of these cars were parked at one house...lucky guy!
996 turbo
C6
Ford GT
Some Porsches at the dealer:
They must have had at least 4 or 5 Cayman S's
SLK55 AMG
S430
Audi
On a side note, imageshack is being really slow and sucky in general, has anyone else had that problem? As a result some of the pics may not work.

Very nice quality of pictures, but I guess with that camera it's no wonder. BTW...I'm pretty sure that red Porsche is infact a C4S, with an added 996TT spoiler. Look at the red border joining the rearlights.

Yep, the red 996 definately looks like a C4S - but in anycase it looks damn hot, not a common colour at all!
Cool to see a Ford GT just parked like that out on the lawn.... :shock:
Thanks.

Very nice garage that guy, I like the GT pic
When imageshack is slow, imagevenue is a good option
BTW, what is the stock lense? 18-70?

Nice find, the three cars infront of that house
The FordGT is sexy!
I like the CaymanS more and more, black is the preferred color IMO
Thanks for the pics :good:

Well, yes, when you consider you can grab a D50 for 600 USD with a lense or a 350D for a little more, again with a lense, and that the really "good" lenses start at 600-800 USD, you can easily tell the stock ones are "cheap". But I always noticed Nikon's one is better than Canon.. I really have to get rid of my 18-55 and buy something better.. since I got the 70-300 IS I try not to use the 18-55 anymore and whenever possible I will use a friend's L lenses because the stock one sucks donkey balls compared to real ones

Thats one of the reasons why I'm going with a D50.. It will save me some money initially because I wont want to buy another lense right away... and I will have more money to spend towards a good lense I've tried out a Rebel XT with the stock lense and the picture quality is no where near the quality of a D50 shot with it's stock lense.

Nice pics and congrats on the D50.
I don't have any experience on the 18-55DX lens but I'm pretty happy with my 18-70DX lens (except the distortion at 18mm). It is very good value for money.
