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

[Wiegert]

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?

Dax Rush replica Lotus Super 7.

alright, I do like this photo... but it's BY FAR my most viewed Flickr image, like 4 views per day average since it was taken... any ideas why?

I'm trying to look for something out of the ordinary but, I can't. So, I'm going to say that some famous person of some sort posted the photo.

I think it's because someone searched for BMW or M3 on flickr and when your result is brought up it counts as a view.
When someone searched for "BMW Nordschleife" I got 209 views overall (as flickr pro I can see a detailed stats report).

Oh and maybe because of those awesome plates

Edit: few pics.
SL55 AMG

Stuck in trafic next to a Rolls Royce Phantom. Man these things are big, even compared to the Mercedes in front of it.

Picture from my grandma.

Not much lately, but I tried my best to find things somewhat interesting.

Honda S2000 AP2

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL Class

1980s Volkswagen, have no clue what model though.

Alfa Romeo Spider

The first of the new Toyota Corollas I've seen.

Bad pics of a Blue Lexus IS300

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I think your 1980s VW is a Rabbit. Someone here will know for sure, though.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Looked like one but I'm not a good expert on vws too.

 

[Doog]

The white Volkswagen appears to be either a Jetta or a Fox, and the silver truck is a rare Volkswagen Caddy.

Wow, I love this new quote and reply system. It takes less work for me to multi-quote people now.

I doubt it's a rabbit, I'm pretty sure they only came in hatchback & pickup truck form.

Wow, I just thought it was an old Nissan truck at first, but I think that you're right now that I had a 2nd look at it.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

C63 AMG and Taurus SHO.

 

[JrDarknes]

Saw a ISF, Very Clean 911T, gallardo at my job and a countach before heading home.
Edit: Im sorry, I dont know how to turn those pictures to be straight. Uploaded from my phone D:

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Still have yet to see a ISF. Might want to rotate that Gallardo picture.

I don't know how to D=. I posted one ISF before and I thought it was the same dude but this license plate was different.

 

[Aphelion]

I saw a jet black aston vanquish (the new one) and 2 mins later, a jet black aventador!!! i was like, 'woah thats weird'

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Pics or it didn't happen.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

It's easy, you could use a paintshop program like adobe photoshop or gimp to do it. They have rotate options. You can also probably rotate pictures in MS paint as well.

 

[Aphelion]

Well i guess it didnt happen then! sucks cus id never seen anything like it!

 

[jeffgoddin]

Naw, it's not like that, it's just that we enjoy seeing photos in this thread, just hearing somebody say what they saw without a photo gets boring after a while. I'm sure you were stoked, wish there was a pic so we could be, too...

decided to take a photo of this guy today, I've seen him a few times now. Evidently using a SCCA time trial car as a daily driver, E30 coupe


and to follow up on a spot I had previously, it had been decided this was a kit car, mostly Ford. it is in fact a 1975 Leata, one of 22 made in Idaho by a curious fellow. just wanted to share the update. also, likely with a 2.3 Pinto engine with 83hp in a 1250lb car, that a pretty nice power to weight ratio!

 

[Beeblebrox237]

I've seen some decent stuff lately:

Autsin A30

Old Rolls Royce, apparently used as a wedding car

TVR Griffith

Jaguar F-Type

Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4

S1 Elise

I also saw a Danny today!

And finally, an Aston Martin DB9

Why does it seem like in London you either drive an amazing car or a crapbox?

Terrific photography, as always. That second shot is crazy, two 458s and a Phantom!

Why does it seem like in London you either drive an amazing car or a crapbox?

I think it may have something to do with the astronomical cost of living. Though if that was directed at me, I live 200 miles North of London

 

[Wiegert]

TVR Griffith

I immediately envy you. Even if you were just tailing it briefly on that stretch of road.




Taken today: 520i Lux

Also came across a few classics parked up together:


Morris 1800 and Rover P6 3500

Wolseley 18/85 and Rover P6 2000 TC

1946 Humber Hawk Mk1

Exact model on Wiki


Reliant Scimitar GT

Hey, I posted it first!

You guys always go out together. I'm about a 10-minute drive away from @Danny and you never call.

I never call because, wait, why do I never call?

In the city with a friend and spotted this NSX.

I didn't have a camera, but my friend had his phone. And instagram... If there weren't other cars around it and I had my DSLR, could have been a decent shot.
