Mercedes F200, and others...

[Dom1878]

Just got back from holiday in Monaco...

...in one single day i must have seen about 5million pounds worth of cars...

Anyway, on the casino corner, outside the hotel de paris, i saw some amazing cars, ferrari F50 (one of my favourites), lots of ferrari 360's and bently continentals and a few ferrari scaglietti's, but the best car i saw was the mercedes f200, a concept car with no steering weel, it was just parked outside the hotel (where the rich people live - 8000 euros a night)...i only got a few photos of it...but here it is...

also heres the F50 i saw...but it was moving at the time...

oh, and another car i saw was the new jag.., and the aston martin db9...white looks well better than silver..., it was cool.

I took about 150 photos in monaco , mostly of cars, the course etc...

Ive also got pictures of me at camp nou, in the everton shirt, but ill post them later..

I always preferred the F40, but the F50 is even more capable than the F40. Nice pics! I need to look up the Merc though!

So, this would explain why you never commented here:

u need 2 make the pics a tad smaller, doesnt get the same effect having to scroll !

lol i no, just to add to this, the car doesnt actually have any wing mirrors, and you can see slightly on one picture ut has cameras instead...pretty cool...

im not sure how much it is, one person there said it was around 1.4 million euros...but i dno, just looked this car up on the internet, check oiut these pictures...

Also when trying to find info on this car and there were a few people on forums who had also seen this car in monaco on there travels...

Also, ho w do you get the images smaller? isnt that something to do with the site?

And Dylan two things...that car looks nothing like a japanese car, more similar to about 10 different american cars...

...and also the F40 over the F50? Why, i like them both but the F50 has the better performance, and it looks absolutely amazing!!, The F40 looks better on a track and everything...but i think it doesnt compare to ferraris comeback to the maclaren F1 - The F50.

the image sizes... im not sure about on this board... but on most forums it only resizes them if u upload to the actual forum itself and not link to the picture..

if not u need to do it urself in a picture editor... if u havent got one.. use paint..

goto "image" then "resize/skew" then put in a % of how smaller u want it.. try 50% on both then see how small it is etc... u can always undo if its 2 small or redo it again if still big

photobucket will resize automatically if you want it too. And yes, the F40 over the F50. I was around 7 or 8 when the F40 came out, and it was first Ferrari love, and as such, along with the 512TR one of my absolute faves. Plus, the F50 is just a little OTT for me. But, the McLaren F1 owns all of them. (until the Zonda/CCX/Veyron)

 

[Dom1878]

incedentially, have you heard about the new koenigsegg? CCXR...same as the CCX but runs on ethanol fuel, top gear crashed the only one in existence...

and my love for ferrari started when i was old enough to read tbh, my favourtie ferraris the classics, ferrari testarossa, and my favourite, the 288 gto (favourite classic car of all)...

...closly followed by the f50 and f40...

...anyway back on topic i dont particarly like this car, its too boring in a driving sense, the technology is good, having cameras as mirrors etc, but it takes the fun out of driving, no gears, and no steerin, jsust using the joystick up, down, left and right to turn break and move...
