Default Nov 04 - F360 (2x), 4200GT Anniversary, DB7, Conti GT...

Pics taken around 4 days ago, I hope you won't mind

It was another nice sunny day and some nice cars popped up!

CLICK ANY PIC TO FIND THE WHOLE 16 PICS SET AND THE HIGH-RES VERSIONS

We are in Geneva.. and I decided to wait for a while on the side of the road since there was nothing parked in the usual area.. I was lucky.. 5 minutes and 3 nice cars:

First was a Continental GT... almost too blurry to be posted, but I think it is still ok


Second was this Vette.. black again!


And since black is nice but borning afte a while, here is something red (already spotted and took in pic various times in the past)


A very British DB7


After the Geneva mission (not as good as usual sadly...), I had some good luck in Lausanne

Nice 156 GTA


A very black RS6


Sweet Modena.. sadly full of trees, shadows, sun... not the best pics you will see of a Modena..



This one could have been a VERY nice picture w/o the A-Klasse or the old Corsa... but still a sweet 4200GT.. should be the Annyversary (90th ?) editio


This 911 tried to beat TT's camera.. still not fast enough


I have a doubt about this... a late 964 or a 993?

I love those pics... they're great!
HAHA, it's not a law.. it's just mother nature that brings snow to Switzerland every winter and as evo's crew discovered (if I remember correctly), the RS6 on the snow with the 19" is totally crap (beside, on snowy roads they often throw many little stones to add grip and you don't want all those little stones to meet your nice "summer" wheels )

Thanks TT.....I don't mind one bit that the pics are 4 days old.
The 360 which is parked looks good, like dani I love those type of pics. The Maser is also very beautiful.

Nono, there is no law. Only on mountain passes, you HAVE to be equipped with snow tires AND snow chains too. Of course if you attack a mountain pass w/o the proper equipment you risk your life and the others' too, so in that case yes, it is mandatory and you could be fined, but only into the mountains

Oh and on a side note.. maybe the RS6 owner actually drives a Modena in the summer but definitely, on such cars it is a shame to see the winter mode "ON"

I think the last one is a 993 isn't it ??

I really prefer the original 19" on the RS6 too. Those ones are too small

I have a doubt about this... a late 964 or a 993?
That one is definetely a 993, you can tell by the smoothed out taillamps which follow the contour of the car in profile. If you look at a 964, the taillights are completely vertical and disrupt the car's profile. The exhausts are also a hint as to the car's nature, as are the wheels.

Ah indeed, the 964 always had only a single exhaust, right?

Compared to this:



beside the single exhaust exit, the wheel are the same since the latest 964 models adopted the 993 ones and also the lights look pretty much the same LOL
