That reminds me: I've never seen a TVR either! New, old, nothing. I've seen more MGs and Triumphs -- even Lotus' -- than anything TVR. I guess I need another trip to the UK...probably catch the Tuscan R then.

Gee how do you define cool? Anyways I have seen:

Mclaren F1 up close very close
Viper GTS-R
C5 Vette ( even sat in it )
Lamborghini Countach and Diablo
Porche GT1, GT2, and GT3's
Various Skyline GTR's every day actually
'55 Corvette
NSX's
EVO's
WRX's including a really beautiful 22B, and I don't like slowbarrows aye!


Skylines Driven:
2002 R34 GTR Vspec II
1996 R33 GTR Vspec ( 520hp )
1990 R32 GTR ( 650hp )
Well too many different GTR's to list but from absolutely bog standard to that 650+hp R32 GTR. That was just plain wrong to be street legal. Spinning all 4 wheels at over 100k's (60mph) get a little unerving when your not used to the car.

A merc CLK 560
Lotus exige
Motor sport elise,
Elise 190
Porsche 944
Audi S4 ex racer
Mistubishi lancer evo 6 fully kitted up for rallying for 12 hrs in ice and snow.
There are probably loads of others but i cannot remember the names of Half of them.

There was an Evo 6 that lived around the corner from me, It was fully kitted out and I could hear it coming from a mile away (asian owner/driver) and we he stepped off the gas (the bov would go pssst) but a huge flame (like 2 feet long) would shoot out the exhaust. That car was badass, I think the guy moved away though

Define "in person." does that mean like p close and personal, or like "heh, there's a...well...I think its a....uhm.....Z8?"

 

[CDailey]

[Ryan2]

I was lucky enough to live in Monterey CA during my formative years. And in the middle of block on Del-Monte Bvld was a little place full of McLarens, Lolas, and old Ferraris. I used to drive by every weekend (really slowly).
I also passed a 1967 427 Cobra on the Freeway on Ford weekend at the Laguna Seca Historic races.
I had a buddy in High School that drove a 1966 Shelby 350-H (black with gold stripes) as his daily drive. Rode with him every chance I got .

 

[Cobraboy]

Come to think of it, I havent seen a Viper.......

 

[LoudMusic]

I've seen a bunch of Vipers. All different colors and models too. Of the ones I've seen, the classic blue with white stripes on the GT-S is probably the best - though the black convertable was rather nice as well (:

I've ridden in a couple Austin Healies (sp?). I've seen quite a few different Ferraris as well. I still think the prettiest cars I've seen are the various NSXs. There used to be a green one in town, and a couple black and gray ones in the city I work in. They look really nice on the road.

[LoudMusic]

Oh, duh, and third gen RX-7s. Those are nearly as rare as a 911 GT2 in the US. And I've DRIVEN ONE! (:

[The Vanishing Boy]

I've seen Viper that you can rent @ the Las Vegas Strip, don't know how much, they have all sorts of Vipers (except ACR, GTS-R, and some special models like the Henessy vers.).
