Jul 15, 2012, 5:00 PM This car needs no introduction. It's a Rolls-Royce among... Rolls-Royces. A true limousine. Quite recently I've managed to contact the owner of this car. The result?

Gumball 3000 2012

Philippe Collinet has the most beautiful Gumball 3000 spot!
Jul 14, 2012, 3:30 PM It was a very close battle between the gentlemen Collinet and van Rooij. Both photographers were nominated for the best Gumball 3000 spot. Two weeks ago the voting started on four hundred spots but the battle began very quick between the two spots from these two photographers. Phillipe Collinet however had more chance to win, because two of his spots were in the top three. Thomas van Rooij also had chance to win, but could keep up very good with Philippe Collinet.

Aston Martin One-77 in the port of Cannes
Jul 14, 2012, 2:00 PM In Monaco it is relatively calm with superscars, but in Cannes it is a real spotters heaven. We didn't see an Aston Martin One-77 yet, but we can also mark that one. It already is standing in Cannes, shining in the port. We talk about a right-hand-drive black copy with a cognac coloured interior. A beautiful combination!

Unique spot: Audi R8 GT Spyder
Jul 14, 2012, 12:30 PM On the 3rd of June 2011, we received a press report about the Audi R8 GT Spyder. Since that time, we didn't hear many more about this German convertible, limited to 333 copies. Even the spotters don't see or spot it, only eight different copies are spotted. This makes it far more exclusive than the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. However, Bavariaspotter managed to spot a new copy in München.
