Had some time to kill in town this afternoon. Happened across these while I was out.


F430 Spider

Old Carrera 4S

Plenty of Lexus IS 200s around here. Same can't be said about Toyota Altezzas though

I wasn't sure if this was actually pink, or faded red and in dire need of some T-Cut when I saw it from a distance :lol:

V8 Vantage I spotted in Wales last weekend

Rage Racer your 3000GT looks odd to me (other than the paint job lolz), almost looks more like a Camaro, I'm probably wrong though. Seems to be missing the sundry vents, strakes and spoilers you usually see all over those Mitsubishis.

Yeah, when I first saw it, I thought it's a Camaro, too :sly:
But when I came closer, it appeared to be a 3000GT clearly. The face is kinda similar to '97 Camaro Z28. But the back looked just like an ordinary 3000GT (except for the paintjob - it had some drawing on the back as well).
 
What kind of rims are on this (from above):

I kind of like them and I hope they come in a 4x4.25" bolt pattern to fit my Mustang.
 
Ultra clean lines on the classic M3

Very rare in this hardly modified version. I just love this design, simple and clean.

Those are 14" Rostyles which were stock steel rims on many MGBs from the end of the 60s. I believe they made identical 13" Rostyles for the Midget too.
 
A few pictures I had forgotten I snapped on my phone over the past couple of weeks:

Charger R/T with bonus car (not sure what it is myself)


Unknown Ferrari spotted on the way home from Le Mans. And later seen overheating in a traffic jam.
 
Here's some of my recent spots.

CTS-V

XLR. Hardly ever see these anymore.

Crappy picture of an Impreza

While walking my dog I saw this Maxima with absolutely dreadful, disgusting, horrible rims. :yuck:

Old Chevrolet pick-up I think.

M3 hidden behind a man, some chairs and a pole. :lol:

Thought I'd save the best for last. A rarity here. Nissan GT-R!

I did recently get a Cannon EOS 60D so some of my pics may look better than others but they won't all always be that great of quality because I usually only take my iPod touch with me and not always my camera. I do hope to get some shots of cars with my real camera though.

A spot is a spot keep it up!
 
Audi RS 6 - "common" good car. Always good, always black. You found the RUF sticker?


Mini Cooper S with a really nice body kit. Front end was mean looking, too.


Lotus Elise - always loved to drive it - in GT5.


Peugeot RCZ - the car has its own curves.

I miss my '05 Honda Odyssey EX-L I bought brand new, a couple years before I left the States. *sniff* :( I drove from NY to VA Beach( up to Chesapeake Bay Bridge wasn't gonna get caught speeding on that) in 5hrs 20min no sweat. People just couldn't believe how fast it was.

:lol: nice. The Odyssey is amazingly good IMO. It's funny, my grandmother owns a 2006, my grandfather owns a 2002, and my Mom owns a 2004. All are still in great condition. The only one that's taken a beating the most is my grandfather's. he uses it like a truck. :lol:
 
Hmm that does seem to be a closer match than any I could find. Now just to identify that Ferrari.

Looks mid-late 50s but whatever it is, you can be sure it's hens-teeth rare. Awesome that the owner drove it home from the event, shame it got stuck in traffic, you don't want to be idling or stop/starting too long in something like that :scared:

I was thinking something like that but I'm not very strong on my classic cars at all. Hoping one of the guys on here could help identify it with their vast car knowledge.

Edit: Thanks R1ch85 for that ID. Shame it's not a real Ferrari but as you say still a cool spot for a kit car.

I tend to agree. The new Gallardo doesn't look too great...however, it doesn't look that bad when it's black, as it sort of hides the looks.
