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

[RandomCarGuy17]

Blue RX-7 FC.

 

[zippy_the_cat]

A few from the weekend. First, a BMW M3 E46:

M3's are common where I live, but it so happened a couple of the older ones were out. Here's an E36:

Same parking lot that had the E46 also contained the first Suburu BRZ I've seen:

The FR-S is getting more common in these parts. I see a few regularly but haven't bothered to shoot them.

Finally, here's one shot on the wing that I can't quite peg. Initially thought it was a TR6 but the lines are wrong.

Edit: Hat tip to ilikewaffles, this indeed looks like a Fiat 124 Sport Spider.

Kinda looks like a Fiat 124.

WHAT? o.O

This comes across as a little odd to me. Where are you from again, that you on average see more than one Ferrari F12 a day? Are you sure you're not exaggerating just a little?

Some people think a Ferrari F12 is ordinary

When you live in Tokyo and work near the nicest/most expensive areas of Tokyo, and are friends with a lot of people who have a hefty amount of cash in the bank. You see more than a dozen luxury/super cars a day. Even if you go to some higher end parts of Tokyo and sit down at a Starbucks for 1 hour. You'd probably see at least 2 Ferrari's, 1 Lamborghini, 2 Astons, and 5-10 AMG's.

True that. Owner of the company I worked for in Tokyo back in '91 used an NSX as his daily driver.

Esprit V8! Nice sound! Just as I arrived at the little British car show this guy does a drive around... almost like he's showing off for all the MG and Triumph owners. He was there for all of a minute, so I count it as wild.


speaking of Karmas...


1969 Javelin SST


442


930 Targa


thought that Esprit would be my best spot of the day, but then I saw this later at work! wtf is it?!? had a Ford badge but I doubt that...

 

[playnthru]

Very interesting Jeffgoddin. You sir rule!

I have no idea myself, but it does kinda look Morris Minor(ish)? I doubt that's what it is though.

 

[jeffgoddin]

hmm... google reverse image search suggests it may be... a man falling on his face?

So yeah, Morris for sure!

 

[playnthru]

I have no idea how to reverse google search things. I did some regular googling though and the Ford Taunus from Germany also looks close? Not quite the same though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MHV_Ford_Taunus_G93A_1949_01.jpg

If it is a Morris it's customized for sure. Beautiful to see it either way.👍

 

[jeffgoddin]

Whatever it is, it's a microcar. Not sure if that shows in the photos, but this thing is ridiculously tiny. Smaller than an original Mini. Saw it just as I was pulling out for a delivery, just going around a corner with no turn on red, so I couldn't help myself. Kept it in 2nd to about 48mph in a 35 to get to the corner before the light change. As it turned out, this thing doesn't do much more than 30mph, and I was quickly in front of it, and stayed with it for a good bit (due to chance red lights that had me stopped for a while a couple times.) Still curious about the Ford badge, too bad the rear shot wasn't sharp, there was something else written that I didn't make out with my eyes and was hoping to catch with the camera...

 

[playnthru]

Yeah it looks small for sure. I only said Morris because that's the closest thing I could think that it looked like. I was also thinking maybe a imported Ford but have not found any direct match.

Still an awesome spot whatever it is.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Ima go ahead and post one of Rue's spots here. For those of you that don't know, he's a world class spotter, and you should add him as a Flickr contact since he's not posting here regularly.

Awesome Always loved the look of the SP250, never seen one in person myself though.

 

[Tyger]

Awesome Dart! I'm thinking our Ford might be an old German/Brit model too, going to do some digging around

 

[trackripper123]

Not bad?

 

[YouButNotYou]

Seen a few cars yesterday although it's nothing spectacular.

I'm absolutely sure that is not a Ford. But I also have absolutely no idea of what it might be. I was thinking Opel, but it's too damn small to be an Opel. Consider me surpassed. But in any which way, awesome spot. Also, the 442!!!! Dude, Goddin, please when you see that caliber of cars standing still take pictures of them! pictureS! Where's the front? Where's the interior?

Oh damn a 250SP! That is quite a raaaare car, awesome spot! :0

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Was not expecting to see this Viper SRT-10 in my neighborhood...



Porsche Cayenne Turbo or GTS with an Impreza WRX.



Is this an RX-7?

I saw one of those Vipers at the drag strip last Wednesday. It got destroyed by a stock 6.0 '05 GTO, and I got it on video for those who don't believe me.

 

[Sage Ages]

Would a Panamera count as good or interesting? They're pretty much the V6 Camry of luxury sedans.

 

[Diego440]

Various spots around here and I need a bit of help identifying some:

Ford Falcon Futura

Dodge Charger

Toyota FJ60

Chevy?

Dodge... something?

I'd really like to know what the hell this is:

Cadillac?

 

[Slash]

Second to last looks like some kind of Caddy.

 

[NotThePrez]

Is this an RX-7?

Yes. FD to be precise.

Looks like a Coronet to me

I'd really like to know what the hell this is:

I think it may be a Clente. They make custom retro-style cars similar to Excalibur or Zimmer.

 

[playnthru]

Yeah about a 57 Dodge Coronet.

The Chevy is a 52-54 I think?

The last is a 58 Chevy Biscayne.

 

[CyborgGT]

There was a Porsche show at the local dealer that I missed. I guess this guy stuck around in town all day.

Maybe if it's a Turbo S or GTS, but even then I don't really know.

People post priuses from time to time, a Panamera maybe more common than a Rapide but it's still pretty interesting
