Awesome picture Chirs!!!

Did you just use a low iso setting and a tri-pod for that picture?

Used a tripod with about 30 seconds exposure time and a mid-sized aperture, maybe f16. ISO was 200.

I was hoping more people would move through my picture so we'd have more "spirit photography" but they were too damn respectful.

I've had a blast last week in Macedonia...Spotted so many nice cars and had a ride in E320, C200 Kompressor AMG Pack, BMW 4,6 si, Mercedes ML320.. X5 is a beast, and the sound is totally crazy!

Here are few pics from airport and from MB service in Skopje.

Anyone knows what is this and what year is it from? Wimmer?

Now all you have to do is... put camera to work! And if you don't have one, just borrow one & start the show here!

That's a beautiful 180D. Looks like a very well-kept and high-spec model. The 180D W120 was generally built from 1953 to 1959. There were few cosmetic changes to it that would give its M.Y. away so the model you saw could be anything from the first one built in 1953 to the last one that rolled of the assembly line in mid 1959.

On a side note, yesterday I saw a black Mercedes Fintail W111 190D at a stop light. I was a mere 10 meters away from it but my camera was inside my rucksack and I wouldn't have enough time to get it out etc. Plus it was already pretty dark so the pictures would have been trash. For a 1960s diesel that thing was pretty "quiet", except when the light turned green and he floored it. You could hear him shift into second gear and the car was still accelerating so slowly!
