Did You See Anything Good Today? [Read First Post]

[The Stig Farmer]

Too many cool old cars.

 

[kennylmao]

I saw a blacked out Nismo 370z and TWO mustang mach 1s just sitting in a field rusting away.

Man, it's sad to know that a blacked out Nismo 370Z is just left rusting away.

Lol, see The Stig Farmer's reply above. Above, above, as in the previous page!

M6 Cabrio yesterday.

 

[playnthru]

Believe it or not, you have to have a CDL just to drive it.

Land Rover Series III spotted today near Tara river, Montenegro.
My first. I've never seen it in my home country...

and rare. 👍

Not really.

Not really.

Maybe not for you, but for others it might be.

Not really.

In the UK it is.


Tree'd. The Internet at this hotel is sloooow.

I don't see how its such a rare car. There are literally loads everywhere. I see enough I don't even bother taking pictures anymore...and that's in New York. Remember we have salted roads up here (not that anyone drives them in the winter anyways). I'd figure you'd see a helluva lot more down in the southern states.

In the UK it is.

Oops, didn't realize he was in the UK.




Don't really care for the large MACH 1 text or the fog lamps but it is nice. Wonder what motor it had in it, there was like four 5.8L options that year.

That first LTD shot is a great use of fisheye, Diego! The other shots probably would have been just as good or better with a 35mm. And most of them should be in the Events and Showroom thread, since they're not "wild" spots. But still nice to see them.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Not really.

Pretty rare for me and I'm in NY just like you. 👍

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Should I post the pics from the car show that I went to here or on the event thread?

 

[SPhilli911]

Saw this in a parking lot this morning. I saw the same car at a car show in the area a few weeks back, maybe the guy's just driving around town.

 

[jeffgoddin]

@Gotbeef, Event thread

@Phil, wowsa! Best wild spot of your life so far? Would be mine!

 

[McLaren]

Great spot. Less than 8 or so in the US alone, & even less than that have been certified to be driven under Show & Display. 👍👍

I've been away for too long I guess. Didn't know there was a Events and Showroom thread :/

I recently got a GoPro, so many of the shots are with the fisheye. I have a normal camera, I'll see what I can post from those. Thanks for the coments 👍

I've also been taking part for a few years in the #morninautos project, or at least that's how it started, and it's mostly active on Instagram, but there's a few cools and rare cars I've managed to catch, in Caracas, Atlanta, New York, Miami and Chicago, which I'll be posting every now and then.

like this:

Ford Fairlane 500

Sex on wheels.

I've seen 4 of them in the past 2 weeks. A black and silver Mach 1, a light blue and white one and a bright red one. Counting this one as well, my neighbor also has a black '71 coupe with Magnum 500 wheels. I hardly consider them rare. I was even on vacation for some of it and I saw them everywhere. Depends on where you are in the state I guess.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Not really.

Old American cars are rarer than Ferraris and Astons over here. 👎

Anything other than diesel Astras and low-spec BMWs are rare here!

 

[Tyger]

Slashfan these forums are global, therefore sightings in this thread are all relative. Despite what legacyMachine says above, a lot of Astons, Bentleys, BMWs, Mercs and Audis posted in this thread are relatively common in the UK and Europe, but in the US may be more scarce. I've only ever seen one Mach 1 and that was at a show, however have seen many Ferraris, Lamborghinis etc. So if I saw one it would be a pretty unique spot, that's kinda what this thread is about.

 

[R5]

I live in a part of the UK where having a base spec Cayman is considered exotic simply because the only people rich enough to buy a £100,000 car wouldn't live in Carlisle

 

[Tyger]

Fair comment, goes to show that what's a rare sighting and what isn't can be broken down by region as well as country, same goes in the US as has been discussed here before

Very aware of this. The Ford F650 is under that. It's weight plus having air brakes makes you have to have a CDL to drive it.

 

[Pupik]

I don't see how its such a rare car. There are literally loads everywhere. I see enough I don't even bother taking pictures anymore...and that's in New York.

And yet you post about a Ford in every thread you can get your mouse to point on. Also, you live in a state with the second-highest number of registered vehicles.

 

[Fazerfan]

Seeing a Panamera is pretty rare here because the cheapest one cost a bit over 100K Euros (130K Dollars).

 

[Diego440]

Far from wanting to add more salt in the wounds, logs to the fire or just stir crap up, here's a bunch of classic Mustangs I've seen in the last few weeks. While watching an old Mustang isn't that rare here, what is rare is the conditions, and since most classics posted in this thread are close to mint condition, that is something very rare here, since car parts are expensive. So here's some Mustangs in different maintenance states.

I don't consider them rare. I see one daily. They also can be had for 10-15k US dollars.

I doubt that (unless you're joking)
