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

[Minty]

Spotted a few the other day on the way home from work.

This car has fond memories for me as the very first thing I ever drove in a Forza game. 'Twas blue with a circular stripe pattern on the hood. Never seen one on the road before.

Also this,

Which, yes, is tough to make out, but it's a Lotus Exige. Which was weird, because I've also never seen one of these on the road, and I was only just talking about them that morning.

By the look of it I think it's actually an Elise not a exige.

You're right, although it's really blurry

That Veyron has been up North a few times, around Alderley Edge and Wilmslow.

Beautiful thing with huge presence.

Saw a 360 modified. I should of took a pic of the engine. He messed with it like crazy . Guy was cool.

He also gave it Lamborghini doors

Some interesting & good cars that I've seen in the last few days:

The first chevrolet spark I see and it's painted like this:

Honda Civic 3-Door Si EP

Hummer H3 I think

BMW Z4

Honda Civic Coupe Si

One of my favorite spots, a Volvo S60 R.

Subaru Impreza WRX with sti parts.

Looks like a newer Mercedes CLS (not sure though), I haven't seen this model ever before TBH.

Decent looking Acura Integra

Dodge Challenger SRT-8 392 Yellow Jacket, I've seen this car pass through my neighborhood before.

That's funny, the first Spark I seen was a stock green one filling up at a gas station. I thought those were electric.

Yup, I couldn't resist taking a picture. I really don't know anything about the spark other than the fact it looks like sonic/aveo that got crushed.

I'll raise your Civic with this Civic. Yes it has a big exhaust and a boost gauge on the dash.

 

[LeadFootLiam]

I saw this MIGHT SLS Roadster downtown Vancouver.

These were supposed to be posted yesterday, but my phone derp'd out. So, here they are.

Land Rover Discovery

Land Rover Defender

1980's(?) Toyota Corolla

Ford F250 Heavy Duty Platinum Edition AKA The Sand King (for you GTA V players out there)

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Year?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

60s probably.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Looks like a 65.

 

[Slash]

1967. If you know what to look for, and can't see the rear or front, the markings right in front of the rear wheel is a good indicator. The scoop changed to this in '67, otherwise it was just a body line in '65, and a chrome trim piece was added in '66. That car unless at some point changed looks to be a V8 car, due to the 5 lug bolt pattern on the wheels.

hmmm... odd day, somewhat surprising. but also, could be last day of decent weather for the year, low 60's and sunny.

last thing I saw worth sharing, as it was getting dark tonight and I was pulling out on a delivery, Fairlady! Nice clean Z32, my Z31's little sister. too bad my camera sucks when I zoom and I biffed the focus a bit...


but before that, just before I went in to work, I stopped by this Collision place where I'd seen last night from across a big lot what I thought was a Bentley... might as well check it out while I have a minute. took this shot...


then decided, the Maserati dealership up the road must use these guys as an overflow lot? 2 more Maseratis and the Bentley Continental Flying Spur I'd seen the night before were there, too.

But quick question, those Maserati's, the dark one is a 2013 V6 and the two white ones are 2013 V8's?

Also, 2013 Maserati V8 0-60 is 4.7 secs, remember that. Flying Spur in about 5.

some employee of the Collision center, however, had this X6 M, first I've seen. 0-60 in 4.5, faster than the Quattroportes and Flying Spur.


also last night, noticed a funny badge on the rear of this Jeep... SRT... I was like, wtf? like Viper, Neon, etc.? didn't know that existed. evidently this 2014 Jeep does 0-60 in 4.7, same as Quattroporte, and faster than Flying Spur.


and first thing today, 3rd time I've seen this guy, first time I've caught him, Caterham 7. probably also fairly quick to 60...

What type of badass drives a Caterham in the U.S.?

What type of badass drives a Caterham in the U.S.?

I think it's the 4th I've seen in 2 years. First was like 8am way out in the boonies on a grey and misty morning. Hmm, now that I think about it, Nelson's Ledges Road Course is out that way... home of the 24 hours of Lemons? Anybody? I think even some famous racers have raced there, good twisty track.

 

[Nicksfix]

That had to have been a cold ride. It was cold here in Ohio this morning.

Cool spot JG

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

This is one Ive seen a few years ago haven't seen it since I took this picture.

I've seen one on the highway here once. Which is odd, because the nearest track is something like a 3 hour drive away.

Coupe 20V Turbo

The recovery crew parked this right where my race car was parked before going out to the pit lane. I touched the Williams Logo on the nose.

[Apok]

Saw this in Vienna while on a trip.

I find that pictures don't really do that paint justice.

 

[jeffgoddin]

still waiting to catch my first Mclaren....

but today, nasty, nasty weather...

CLS63



then this lovely (V8?) 2014 Quattroporte

 

[GTP_Ingram]

This is one Ive seen a few years ago haven't seen it since I took this picture.

I may be wrong, but based on the size of the alloys, I don't think that is a Caterham, but a different Lotus 7-type kit car, maybe a Westfield?

Slashfan - Very interesting info about Mustang spotting, I've learned something new today!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Was thinking the same thing I was thinking it was a kit car since I haven't seen a real Caterham before.
