Los Gatos Photoshoot w/ a few from Monterey

I haven't posted any pics for while, and many new additions, including
Bix, 2005 tails, and Rentech style spoiler.

Enjoy!
Pics of my car in Los Gatos







Parked in front of the Bentley, Aston, Ferrari, Lambo dealer


The view looking out....


Just one of the many amazing cars here....Veyron !



The spoiler, painted in Obsidian Black (Gold metalic black..very cool in the sun)


Parked in front of a buddy's house in the East Los Gatos Hills...


The view of the valley over the top of my sunroof...




Bix!

An interesting Mercedes prototype I think?













Cadillac? Hmmmm....




Enjoy!

Crazy cars. I thought that Mercedes was just a prototype. Cadillac should make that CTS coupe with a LS9 supercharged motor. I'd get it.

did you get any details on what it's supposed to be in a later life ?

was that being shown by Daimler Mercedes-Benz or was it some sort of custom job ??

The F700 Diesotto is supposed to be a study on what the new S Class could look like - launched at the 2007 Frankfurt motor show

Yes - the A & B Classes are hardly competitors. They are aimed at a very different buying public.

Your new headlamps, tails, and spoiler really do make a remarkable difference. Lookin’ sharp.

I’ve always liked Orion Blue…goes well with your new driveway.

Ha, not my driveway. I guy a know, went to few parties at his house "back in the day". He's now retired, X IBM lifer.
He was actually recruited by IBM straight out of High School.
Brilliant guy. They actually paid and sent him to college which he did during work hours, and then worked PT, but got paid FT.

Wish I'd had a deal like that.

We used to Mnt. Bike a lot, but now he has no interest in that, and thinks golf is for woosies. I see him around town.

BTW- The Woz lives across the street, actually would be directly behind me.

F the Cadillac - fugly box - I like the Aston's in the window behind your clean Coupe. Probably the finest styling of the modern era.

Your Coupe looks really good in that colour
