I wonder what the owner's reaction would be if he saw you take those pics of his/her car.

Put it this way, I finished taking those photos and about 1.5 minutes later the owner came out with his family. That was close But then again it's in a public area so I'm entitled to take shots that I wish to take.

I have some of my other photos on the IS-F threads.

My web page is below. I've posted some of my other work here.

Yeah... I know they can throw on the ///AMG badge, but it specifically says C63 on it. Perhaps if it just said AMG it would be fine. It's no C63!!!

Besides the poser badges, those are still some of the hottest newly launched cars on the market. Simply beautiful.

I remember a guy 6 or so years ago who stuffed an E36 M3 motor in his 318i, put twin turbos on it, and (accurately) badged it a 332i. He went around harrassing Viper, Porsche, and Ferrari owners, as well as guys on sportbikes. There's a video floating around of him positively destroying a Hyabusa off the line.

what a disgrace..this doesn't even look like a real c63. Other than the wheels..the front bumper of the C63 is way more aggressive with two little side vents. Also it says 6.3 liter on the side of the C63..not a cheap little amg sticker..and the C63's also come with dual exhausts and a trunk rear spoiler

You should told the guy nice C63..maybe we should race some time!
