Not around here. I would say 3/5 F350's I see are Duallys. Usually the only non dually F350's I see are trucks from construction companies.

I'd check that - I'd venture that three of the five F-350s you notice are Duallys. On AutoTrader, only 13 of the 71 F-350s on sale in the Jacksonville area are Duallys - less than 20%, which is higher than in most areas.
 
I'll go with your analysis of Dually percentages, Doug, but that doesn't mean they're "quite rare", at least not on the East Coast. I see half a dozen a day, easily, not counting the one owned by a guy I work with.
 
Man I wish that I lived in Australia you guys get all the cool cars and you don't have to go through an emissions test. Make me wish I wasn't here :( (I have other reasons to)

Alas, it is, in comparison to the rest of the F-series line.
 
That looks like a BF FPV to me. (Heh nice numberplate)

Your muscle "show and shine" type shows look just like ours. :)

Whoops, yeah you're right. I was thinking of the BA II instead of the BF, the latter of which i'd forgotten had existed (if you know what i mean).

I'm getting too old. :(

It was a pretty cool show, not sure why i didn't stay longer and take more pics but now that i know it is an annual meet i'll definately be returning.

Cheers Revhead, i can never tell the difference between 2's and 3's. Whenever i see one i usually just call it a wob wob, like i do with my youngest brothers' Series 4. :D
 
I saw something interesting today but it's not a car exactly. lol

However its design has been heavily influenced by what we term as Super Cars, and its the first of its kind in the world, costing 1 million GBP.

Interested? Let me know and I'll post her up.


POST!!! I NEED to know what this mystery is. Please 👍 .
 
Yesterday i spotted a maroon R32 GT-R, blue EVO VII and a red S6 RX-7 as well as a few others.

I've been informed that a supercharged Aston Martin DB7 has just arrived in town too...

Gorgeous cars - look around for it - they really are fantastic. The V12 is better in the performance department, but it lost a bit of the classic look of the six-cylinder model.
 
The sun came out on Friday... It must've drawn the nice cars out of their garages.
-Audi S6 (Had to do a double-take on it to notice)
-Mercedes CLS55 AMG
-DeTomaso Pantera
-BMW M3 Cabriolet
-C5 Corvette
-This doesn't really count, but I noticed that a local Ford dealership has a Gray/White GT in the showroom. This is the second that's passed through their dealership, making a confirmed three in the area. Next time I'm in town, I'll bring the camera and get some shots of it.

Check out the 997 911 color. It's just a C4S, but I think it's gorgeous:

And the just-released Pontiac G5, already missing a hubcap:

Also caught a Saturn Outlook, but no photo, so I guess you don't have to believe me. That's that!
 

I guess my memory isn't so hot; I remember those shots now that you've reminded me.


Anywho, the pictures of cars i spotted as promised - yes, some are from a car show but normally i wouldn't see half of these cars otherwise.

Nice car show. 👍 The non-USDM cars (like the Falcon and FPV) are definitely cool to see.

Slow day, eh? ;)

M5Power
Check out the 997 911 color. It's just a C4S, but I think it's gorgeous:

I would disagree about it being attractive. That color looks good on exactly two cars, in my opinion: the NSX, and 2002 CL. Orange is a hard color to pull off, although metallic orange makes it a bit easier (looking slightly less day-glow).

Nice. Ironically, in the weather-challenged northeast, that kind of event is even less likely to occur. Probably because the few people who need to haul something own proper trucks anyway.
 
Wow, hefty amount of sightings M5Power. I like the two shots of premium SUVs towing trailers.


Indeed - note that the Rover is supercharged! $95k and they can't afford a moving company! :lol:

Ahem.

Murano, too?!

Nice. Ironically, in the weather-challenged northeast, that kind of event is even less likely to occur.

I think that event is impossible anywhere - I've never seen either vehicle towing before in my life; Colorado or Atlanta.

Slicks
F430, Mercedes CLS, and Jaguar XJ in one photo. Nice.

Very good weekend for you, Doug. My compliments.

Thanks! 👍 Looks to me like the Jag is an S-Type, but it's hard to say.
 
ferrari 599, 1 hour ago... first i've seen, and sooooooo boring. No road presence whatsoever... Come on Ferrari, make something that looks sexy, please!

That's a tough color, but I'm still surprised to see you say that. I can't wait to see one and decide for myself, but that's unsettling news!

That's nothing. A year or two ago, I saw someone towing with an S2000. What was he towing? A tiny trailer carrying one set of racing slicks, of course :). I approved.
 
That copper Porsche is great looking, Isn't it also a Targa model?

Yeah, it's a Targa 4S. Supposedly it's been on sale since November, but this is the first one I've seen - and it had dealer plates. All-wheel drive Porsches aren't too common in Atlanta, so I bet I'll pull a few in Denver this summer.

I saw two Bentleys while leaving an Atlanta Thrashers game today. Both black. One two door coupe, the other a four door. Sorry no pics, camera wasn't ready in time for either car.

I agree with M5Power & ND4SPD, that copper/burnt orange metalic dress looks great on that 997! 👍

All that is missing though is a "05 CHAMP", "HOOK'EM" or "LNGHRNS" personalized license plate. ;)
