And saw that one at Retromobile in Paris back in February.
Wonderful cars !

Damn, LeMans classic seems just awesome.

Poolhaas, your new camera works well. Did you post edit your shots?

Only the first photo is edited slightly, the rest are original.

Sorry for the double post, it's pretty quiet in here.

Went for another trip to the Nürburgring for the Touristenfahrten, and it was business as usual, so much to see...
Here's some highlights of the first batch I've uploaded. Took around 600 photos on track so you won't see all of them

M4000? That's a home-made badge, isn't it?

And looks like a Camaro next to it. I thought that on your side of the pond Camaros would be rare...

 

[TheCracker]

M4000? That's a home-made badge, isn't it?

It's a Manta with the Senator's 4ltr straight six engine. Pretty sure it wasn't a 'factory' model, but i think someone turned a few of them out.

And looks like a Camaro next to it. I thought that on your side of the pond Camaros would be rare...

With all the US bases in Germany, it's not unusual for some US only cars to be knocking about. Although they did sell the Camaro in Europe for a few years, just not sure if this model was one of them or not.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Went to the BMWi showroom...

...and saw this at Parklane BMW,

Went out to malibu this past thursday and saw some awesome stuff.

A whole dealer full of Bently Continentals and Super Sports and rolls phantoms. Im pretty sure i saw a Phaeton. There was a merc dealer with resto'd 1950s or so Models. Was very stylish. Plentiful astons and jags- an XKR looks tons better and more aggressive than any aston i know- and to top it off, an immacculate SLS convert! I thought the car was hiddeous, but seeing it in real life really changes my mind! The lines on that car are gorgeous!

 

[obsessive rules]

That Maserati is a grand sport coupe.

Any pictures?

Thanks for the clarification. 👍

 

[McLaren]

That Maserati is a grand sport coupe.

No, it's a Cabrio (or Spyder according to the model name). Take note of the soft top.

 

[aadil717]

Speaking of soft tops; the Ferrari 360 is a Spyder, not Modena - which is the name for the coupe.

I've got 100+ pictures to put up from last weekend's massive Cars and Coffee Oklahoma. Just not quite sure where to put that many. You guys interested in seeing them?

Yeah Elvis' car is a Stutz. A lot of people find those vulgar but I think it has something.
