Cars cars cars (and some bikes)

Thanks Roo, there are a few more on my Flickr page, at least I had some fun

Great shots, Stewart. I really like the first one. Well done Sir.

Hi Stewart.
Excellent shots. I really like the first and second shots, the first shot you can see where every tread of the tyre threw up its own little dust cloud to make the complete dust storm the car is creating, the second one is absolutely fabulous, how long did that rooster tail hang for, it must have taken a second or two for the bike to get that far away.

I bet you enjoyed every second of that event.

Cheers, Graham.

I was out as the 2nd photographer on Friday for the EDC – Emirates Desert Challenge Rd 1, this is the first time my 5DIII has been put through its paces, I’m VERY happy with the results, 590 photographs and 3 where OOF and they were totally my fault!

Thanks Click, Graham. The bikes jumped at that location, so the Rooster Tails got thrown up over the crest on landing, it was an interesting experience, one that I will be doing again now that the cooler months are upon us

Great stuff, Stewart!

is that a 5 and a 10?
It's the bi-annual motorshow in Dubai this year, I'm hoping to see the 10 in all it's glory, your a lucky man, great images, just enough to tantalise the senses

Lamborghini Aventador, reflected in the factory windows in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy by Tom Scott, on Flickr

Who doesn't like an italian super car in the italian sunshine with all its best angles reflected in in one image? Here we have the pinnacle of the bull, the Lamborgini Aventadore outside the factory where it was built. Named after a fighting bull that fought particularly valiantly in the bull ring of Saragossa, Spain in 1993.

A fire breathing 6.5L V12 powers the car surrounded in a carbon-fibre monocoque chassis. 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and frightening top speed of 217mph!

Earlier on in the year I was lucky enough to go to Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy and visit the Lamborghini factory and here is one of the images I took. When I saw this opportunity I couldn't help but take a quick picture. Absolutely beautiful car with a myriad of styling which is epitomises the brand.

is that a 5 and a 10?

Yup, sure is.

 

[Roo]

Very nice Guy and Tom!

We had the Motorclassica concours here a couple of weeks ago and I finally got some shots of one of my favourite Ferraris

As most know on here BMWs are my soft spot. Lovely images.

Nice series, Roo.

Hi Roo.
Lovely shots, I know which one I'd take if they offered me the keys to both, and a clue is it wouldn't be the reproduction! There is just something about the classic lines and the lack of meddling computers, just raw driving pleasure!
My modern Mercedes Vito computer has been obnoxious this week, refusing to talk to the dash, canbus cannot communicate with dashboard error on Monday, so I jumped in my 1972 Triumph 2.5PI, which had been sitting for a fortnight unused, fired right up and I've been really enjoying driving the wheels off it, trouble is its cost me about three weeks worth of driving the van in terms of fuel! Oh well it's only money and you can't take it with you!

Cheers, Graham.

I can neither confirm nor deny that I once licked clean an F40. Oh, the shame....... :-[

As much as the CSL in Roo's shots is cool, I'd have the Hommage. Looks bitchin'.

Sorry, must go and polish the DB10 again.

 

[Roo]

Thanks Guys! and Guy - too funny ;D

The delicious irony of your story Graham. I can remember the Triumph (well any BL car) being avoided due to horror stories of its unreliability but at the same time Mercs were always lauded for reliability and now your old car triumphs over the modern Merc ;D

Shot of my 1996 Porsche 993 from a drive yesterday, probably the last drive of the year.

Damn, I love 993s. They were the last of the real 911s!

Great shot, too!

 

[TheJock]

I love the 993, your a lucky man!
I was at the Dubai Motorshow over the weekend, I will post some photo's later of the various beauties that were on display, I only have 1 image here at work (my new screensaver) of the new 2016 Shelby Mustang GT350.
