Great post! 👍

I don't know if it's a thing to put AMG badges on W220 non-AMG S classes, but to my knowledge there are no S430 AMGs.

 

[poolhaas]

Awesome post Waffles, nice amount of Lambos
Those older BMWs are so cool.

Thanks guys!

Didn't think so, that quad exhaust tricked me. Perhaps it's an AMG Sport package?

 

[Ranman20]

Damn. You must have spent most of your vacation taking pictures lol.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

The place with the 2 Mansorys I believe is Platinum Motorsports there is a white sign above the SLR.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

@ilikewaffles11

Unless there was a wingless, roadster version of the SV that I was never aware of, I think this is "just" a normal Murcielago with SV stickers on it.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Camera Roll-74 by -priesty2012-

That's an Eldorado.

Anyway, only two today:

Dodge Dart (thanks Nicksfix!)

Corvette C3

 

[McLaren]

Indeed.

The Platinum Motors & RDB though, are 2 infamous builders within' the California supercar communities. They post most of their work on Luxury4Play & actually have some really nice kits out.

Most of it.

Ah thanks for the correction. I don't really know much about Lamborghinis...

 

[Nicksfix]

Vuht iz dees?

Dat be a '70 Dodge Dart.

 

[Ranman20]

Lotus Espirit.

Dodge viper.

90s supra convertible

Forgot the name of this car but cool hot wheels scheme.

C1 corvette

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Dodge viper.

In front of the two Camaro's there is an old 50's hot rod (I think), and there's also what appears to be a early-mid 70's red Duster (?) in front of that pink building with the wooden stairs.

 

[playnthru]

Looks like a Ford falcon Delivery wagon. The gills behind the front fenders are the giveaway.

And Vette is a 61-62 by the body line and C2 style rear.👍
(that's what I meant)

@ xXKingJoshXx yeah Duster, nice call.👍

C1 corvette

[jeffgoddin]

Stumbled upon not one but two Vipers today!

 

[playnthru]

Sweet...And Dat Z31, who dat?

 

[jeffgoddin]

Heehee, I got my lady in there...

 

[The Stig Farmer]

I also agree with bondy,Killing a thread because of this reason is very disappointing

 

[Diego440]

@ Diego 440. Yeah it could be. The rear fenders look like Chevy fenders sorta, maybe a Chevrolet bed with a Dodge cab? It's still very cool and defiantly a great picture. Thank you for sharing it here! Your posts are always great.

You guys only spot good stuff! Awsome work Diego:tup:!

Wow! Thanks! I guess we were once lucky to get all these massive-engined cars, back when this country had money and cheap gas actually meant something.

I found this close-to-mint Pontiac GTO close to my house. Had the tach on the hood and was actually manual transmission. The front end was very rusty, but I guess it's a project car.

No idea what this Dodge is (Polara? Diplomat?, but it was just parked at a random building

Buick Skylark

Dodge Charger Magnum 400 (at least that's what the badges said)

Jeep Comanche -- Never seen one of these outside Venezuela

AMC Javelin

Dodge Charger

DeSoto

 

[Dac_Xint]

I stopped after 2 or 3 Porsches. Dozens of them

 

[Wiegert]

You don't often see a Wiesmann in here. 👍


Ignoring the numerous missed chances I've had this week, all I got were these rare sights:


Celica 2.0GT Cabriolet

Sierra RS Cosworth

 

[Clark]

Awesome as it is, I don't think it's an RS500, maybe just an RS Cosworth. Doesn't look like it says RS500 on the back, just 'RS'.

 

[Wiegert]

I could have sworn it said "RS500" on the back when I watched it go past a few times it recent weeks. I was in a rush when I took that and had no time to check, but it seems you're right.

Then again I do remember it having different plates the first time I saw it. Chances are I actually saw two different Cossies with the other one being an RS500. The garage near my workplace gets all sorts of interesting motors since I started working in the area, so having two come in the space of a few weeks isn't much of a surprise.

Could have sworn it said 500 on the back when I watched it go past a few times it recent weeks. I was in a rush when I took that and had time to check.

I saw one a few weeks back and noticed it didn't say RS500. It's easy to forget that it wasn't just the RS500 and the four-door Sapphire, there was a 'normal' RS Cosworth three-door as well. It's just hard to tell from a glance as the RS and RS500 look virtually identical.

 

[Wiegert]

It's more to do with the fact that I tend to automatically assume any black RS is a 500, from a distance at least. Yet this time I didn't even pay heed to the badge on the rear. If only I wasn't in a rush to get home.
