Was that yellow and black thing some sort of aquatic vehicle??

A Fornasari Thor, the light blue SUV in front of it is a Fornasari RR99 but it is so ugly I didn't bother taking a photo of it.

Now i have no chance to win with brandon_flowers photos. I saw exactly the same One-77 two years ago.

There is two Fornasari on the photo isn't it ?? What a ugly car. Saw few of them and i would never buy one.

Are you not boring with all the Ferrari's there if you can see them everywhere everyday :?:

Was driving down the N4 yesterday, when a black VW very quickly got right up my chuff, I let him past so the misus could take a photo as they're pretty rare, but then the road cleared...... Im guessing this isnt the V12 version :pac:

Don't worry your photos are a far better quality than mine. The One-77 is a beauty alright.

I wouldn't say boring but I don't turn my head as often, One-77's and the like are rare all over the world even in Monaco. Ferrari's are pretty common here.

IIRC you're working out that way? You get any pics of the F1?

None of the F1 because I didn't go to the race or qualifying, going to Vegas in a few weeks so couldn't afford to be spending €450 on a ticket and I was working Thursday and Friday. Got a few photos of the GP2 outside my office and GP3 racing at lunch on Friday, nothing spectacular though.

When you're in Vegas make sure to take a trip out to the Vegas Speedway. Carol Shelby museum there and you can also do NASCAR exp or take a Ferrari / Lambo on the inner track. Also classic car museum on I think the 5th floor of the Imperial Hotel.

Pique

Between Sligo and Donegal I saw a:
Series II Escort RS Turbo
Sierra Sapphire Cosworth
Mk1 Fiesta
Mk1 Cortina (Lotus Cortina shape, not sure if that's mk1?). I think it had a sunroof too...would that be possible back then?
Triumph TR7
And a 'Rally style' Opel Manta. Think I saw it before with Manta 300 decals. No, not 400, 300. Might have been a different one today but it was White with the Opel racing colours at the rear.

Nice day for car spotting.
No pics unfortunately as I was driving and met them all comin in the opposite direction.
They weren't travelling together either.

Just email it to yourself and treat it like any other pic on your computer....

Anyone has any idea what's the difference between a W engine and a V engine?

I think a W12 is two V6 engines "stuck" together. (VV=W).

Main difference is the shape. V12s have two rows of cylinder banks parallel to each other, so two rows of six.

W12s (well VWs one) has four rows of 3 cylinders in a staggered formation, like this:



W12s are considerably more compact than a V12 due to the this arrangement of the cylinder banks.

This Audi also stopped me in my tracks........it's an A7

It's a sad state of affairs compared to a few years ago when this thread now consists mostly of people holiday photos and the likes of an A7, a 9yr old XK8 or a Phaeton.

this recession sucks

I sat in one of these at last years (I think?) auto show, it felt really nice, expensive, everything you'd expect from a big German barge. Still, I couldn't stay there for long as all the dark leather and plastics were making me depressed. Audi need to sort out their interiors, IMO.

Disgaree.

Good riddance to the days of people driving cars they can't afford on credit.

More cash is King Phaetons, M5's and the like
