A fun day in Bellevue, WA
So I was with some friends taking pictures of cars, which, none happened to belong to me, but my friends owned them... Alpina Z8 (#134), SL55, M3 Cab, M3 Coupe etc... When an NSX, 2 C4S', and a brand-spankin' new 360 Spider pops up. Of course we asked them if we could take a few pictures with them in line.
Sorry, but not all of these pictures include a Mercedes, let alone an SL55, but maybe you could all enjoy the view and the other exotic cars!

And now, the 360 Spyder herself...

The pictures require resizing, and I am too lazy to do that now. However, if any of you wish to see different angles or shots of a 993 C4S, 996 C4S, the Spider, SL55, either M3, or the Alpina, express interest here and I will be sure to post them...

Directions please.
I get to Bellevue on business occasionally but can't recall any route I have been on that affords that view in your first photo. How long does it take to get there from say Bellevue Square and what route does one take? A clear day in Seattle is a true treasure. Glad you could make the most of it.

All pictures were taken in the Newcastle Golf Course, in the heart of Bellevue... The view is amazing on all sides.. The the SW, there is the Seattle skyline, to the W, the Puget Sound, to the N/NW, smaller hills with homes... Etc... Amazing area.

Alpina is less HP but more Torque. The Alpina is a 6-Speed automatic with shifters behind the wheel. The alpina comes standerd with 20 inch Alpina wheels. The car only comes in Silver Or Black.
