Re: Monterey 2006 Pictures
I believe that silver GTO is a replica. A well done one but a replica

Re: Monterey 2006 Pictures
Ok - my final installment of my Monterey photos are finally uploaded and ready. To save a few of you some time, I'll warn everyone that there's not a single McLaren F1 photo amongst the 495 shots in this album. However, if you're truly a car enthusiast you are sure to enjoy at least some of the content in here.
Monterey 2006 - Sunday! Sunday!! Sunday!!! If you have any hi-res requests on any of my shots, let me know. >8^) ER |

Re: Monterey 2006 Pictures
I'm a little late to this discussion but I was out on the Peninsula as well. SVGA had a Veyron at Concorso Italiano on Friday:
http://douging.smugmug.com/gallery/1...90009058/Large I can remember seeing a few others around during the weekend too. There was one behind me on 17-mile Drive and the two at the Concours on Sunday (next to the concept car display). I'm kicking myself for not making contact with any of you before I left. I knew my schedule would be packed from Friday when I arrived to Monday morning when I left. But it could have been an entertaining time. And we were all in pretty much the same places each day! Peloton, where were you watching the F1 car from on Saturday? I was splitting my time between pit lane and the middle of the corkscrew: And I was also at the Concours on Sunday (my spot was stage right, on the outside, 3 rows back). I am willing to bet that we saw each other a couple of times during the weeknd. |

Re: Monterey 2006 Pictures
Oh, I took some McLaren F1 shots as well:
014 at RM in Monterey (11 pics): http://douging.smugmug.com/gallery/1...90645269/Large And 016 at Laguna Seca starting here (4 pics): http://douging.smugmug.com/gallery/1...90250154/Large Did you happen to hear this car with the engine running? It had a sport exhaust/cat system that I was curious about. I spoke with someone there who said he was caring for the car for the weekend and he said that his shop built the exhaust. The shop is called Virtuoso Performance (http://www.vprace.com/.) He also mentioned that they have been experimenting with wheel/tire combinations and new suspension settings. |

Re: Monterey 2006 Pictures
Wow Drew - I'm in one of your #014 shots and we had to have been rubbing elbows with several of the other ones you took. What a shame neither one of us made the connection.
I didn't hear the engine running on #016 unfortunately. I also didn't notice anything different about the exhaust on that car, but maybe it's not a visible change. I think the comments about wheel and suspension differences actually are in reference to the changes we have seen on #040. There is a definite connection there. As for my spot for the Toyota F1 car on Saturday, I started at the base of the corkscrew for the first of the afternoon sessions and then climbed to the top of the hill to watch it go around the rest of the track for the second set of laps. I had been there for the MotoGP race one month prior so I was looking to compare the visual speeds at different parts of the track. The thing that was so amazing to me about the F1 car was just how late it was able to brake for all the corners. It would be awesome if they would run a real F1 race at that track, even just one time, but that's wishful thinking. >8^) ER |

I can see it now in one or two of my own shots. I wish I had noticed it when I was speaking with them - I'd have asked him to start it so I could at least hear it idle. Rats... >8^) ER |

Re: Monterey 2006 Pictures
Holy JEEBUS! #016 looks astonishingly gorgeous! One of my personal favorite shots: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...c/ed5f0a33.jpg
But seriously, this is one of the best F1 shots I've ever seen: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...7/ed5e5c94.jpg
