Quite an unamerican start above and lovely, the Camaro and the Viper make you catch up though.

Some new arrival at the Porsche garage: Boxster Spider (I think I posted it already from Brussels in February, but closer look this time.)

A while ago I went with Denur, MarcoM and a friend of theirs to the Renault World series in Spa-Francorchamps: Below Renault 3.5 series

The grass is still the car is super fast:

freaking amazing page, there are some very awesome automobiles in here. McLaren, can I have a BIG version of the orange road runner? that car is drop-dead gorgeous. If you can proviude the brown Bonneville, I'll gladly take them too. Are these in your C6C thread? I have not visted it in a while.

Anyway, even with all the sick cars oin here, the top prize is easily taken by the blue DeTomaso Pantera with the transplanted Cobra motor. That thing is the epitome of SICK. The Pantera is one of my all-time favorite cars and this has been done with all the right stuff to it. It even looks decent!!! But the heart transplant alone makes me giggle like a college gril. Awesome cars. big pix of that and any extra info?

Aaaaaand the story about the barn-found Maserati is astounding. Pityt they did not have pictures of how it was when rescued. Amazing stuff.

Oh, also: The hot rod yello Fiat with Cragars, the red Renault turbo 2, got damn that thing is insane, big? and the blue Renaulkt 5 turbo is pretty neat also. The amilcar line up is incredible. Awesome page people, awesome page.
 
Loads of amazing here 👍

Have you got any more of the Ducati Desmosedici RR in the background of these 2 shots?

Sorry, I posted all that I took. That was indeed a nice bike, though.

Cano, how do I upload full-size shots? They're too big for attachments.

Super posts here again

This is a place that I believe is linked to a near by car shop, but I only discovered it since I saw on Flickr some people had made spots there.
From the fotos on Flickr it took me 2 months to find out where the place was, but I ended up recognising a building on the side.
Conclusion, I pass this place about 4 times as day, and now I look what is going on. The Porsche Carrera GT finally drove in there, but yesterday they seemed to be cleaning outside and took the goodies out.

Lamborghini LM002, first almost walked past this, but this is quite rare:

Yesterday I really only saw a lot, since I went back for this Nissan GTR:
4732525056_a88dfa2455.jpg


The Aston Martin DB9 seems to be driven by someone that is there quite often:

Wow, amazing garage. The big blue car is a Jensen Interceptor, the car being washed is a Jagaur XJ120 I think, and I like the Oreca racing Viper in front of it too. I want ever one of the rally cars you posted too, especially the Sierra and 205, which at first glance I thought it was the group B one, that would be awesome.
 
Was at the BARC race at Pembrey this weekend to watch my mate race in the Welsh Sports and Saloon car cup. Sadly my camera-phone battery died so didn't get a chance to get a photo of a few others, but here's a few....

You know the show Pimp My Ride? Remember how they changed from West Coast Customs to GAS? Remember how they always had the person walk downa really nice row of cars? Well I went to the Galpin row of dealerships yesterday and found GAS. They has a little store, but this was parked out front and an Aston and Tesla, but eh.

IMG_0002-23.jpg


So we parked infront of a little muesum looking place with a ton of cars, but next to the door it said it was private and no public showings. Well after some talking we got in. Here's just a few pictures.

Nice pictures from GAS, Nismo!

Speaking of Pimp My Ride. There is a dealership near my house with a car storage facility. When I was shown around there, they had a baby blue foxbody Mustang Convertible that was "Pimped" on the show. The guy who was showing me around said that the interior of the car was terrible, and most of the stuff in the car that was put in was falling off. I guess since they are pimping the cars for free, thay don't exactly go with the premium stuff.
