Default July 18th: 65 min at the roundabout: 308, 328, 355, Countach

Ok I spent exactly 65 minutes placed on that roundabout!

Sadly the day was crap not much light and no sun=no supercars most of the time...
No light means higher ISO (to keep the shutter fast enough) -> crappy quality

Still some interesting sights

Ferrari 308 GTB, click for 1600x1200


Ferrari 328 GTB, click for 1600x1200


Porsche 996 Carrera 4S Cabrio, click for 1024x768


Yes I know you all love such cars , click for 1280x960


The best car in a while, I was fucking far away and noticed it by mistake! Zoomed at 22x and shoot just in time!!! YAY!!: Countach, click for 1280x960


An EVO VI TME with a crazy blow off valve wistling like a rally car , click for 1280x960


Another Lancer, EVO VII this time, click for 1600x1200


A nice red Vette


Need help on this old timer.. no idea, click for 1600x1200


Nothing special, but nice sound and from this angle you can't luckily see the big chrome wheels , click for 1024x768


Jaguar XKR, click for 1600x1200


Also an R32, just to add another car to the rundabout rampage


Last pic on the roundabout, a Police car blasted through it risking to hit the Corsa


This one was crazy! I saw this F355 while coming back home, did my usual U-turn and floored my poor car to reach it in time.. it was the first car at a red light as you can see:
Click for 1280x960


The light turned green, the 355 driver really GUNNED the first 3 gears.. as you can see the limit there is 70 km/h and he was doing way more than that at the end of 3 gear
As for the biker, 1 second after this pic he pulled a WHEELIE!! And of course he had no problem in keeping up.. crazy shit!

You're lucky to see these cars in only 65 minutes !! I could stand all the day in my city on any roundabout without to see a single Ferrari

Amazing sight, a countach, damn wich I saw one of those on my vacation in Italy. Saw some other nice one's and got a couple of pics. Not that much since the batteries went dead after half an hour :cry: :cry: Missed a GT3RS because the goddamnfucking batteries just went dead, you can believe my frustration... It flew by me on the German autobahn, and stopped at the same gas station, so I had plenty of time to see it from closeby.
