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

[Davis]

and I found one of these!

I'm going to become Slash, except with Minis instead of Ferds.

That one you found is a part of Mid-Ohio-Motoring, probably one of the biggest Mini clubs out there. Anyways, it has a GP front bumper and a lot of other modifications that are pretty tacky if you asked me.

Anyways, it's on YouTube too.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Yeah, I'm no Mini expert, that's for sure. This was one of those things where you guys educated me so when I saw it I knew what it was. And wow random how many cars that I spot have youtube videos?!?

And for the Celica, it was one of those where I'm driving down a road I've traveled a hundred times, and out of the corner of my eye I catch something that makes me go hold on! THAT wasn't there before! Turn around and investigate. Small car repair/sales place that never has anything interesting. Gate is closed but I see it's unlocked and there's a guy back in there. So I waltz on in and introduce myself (always a bit awkward explaining our hobby...) Thankfully, he's okay with me taking photos of his customer's car. All original, he tells me with a smile!

How come there are seemingly more classic American cars over there than there are here?

Thousands of American classics were imported in the last two decades. Not just the usual models (Impalas and Caprices are the most common old American cars), but some more obscure ones as well. For example, I know of several people who imported a Citation, and there's even a private museum filled with AMC's here.

@Rage Racer 0/10 not covered in 3" of dirt.

The dirt weather is gone.
But wait for a good rain and we might enjoy seeing two-tone (car's color + dirt) liveries again.

Oh yeah, and this 1930 Ford.

Hey, it's that... Hotknife from GTA San Andreas.

 

[poolhaas]

Old Chrysler.

 

[homeforsummer]

A few spots from today.

Jaguar E-Type Series 2

MG Midget

All the old stuff comes out of hiding when the weather gets good.

 

[Clark]

I missed most of the good stuff yesterday; Austin-Healey 3000, TR6, 360 Spider and a few MGBs.

Did get these though:

 

[Beeblebrox237]

A few spots from today.

Jaguar E-Type Series 3

​

​

Isn't that a Series 2? I'm pretty sure the Series 3 had flared arches and a bigger, flashier grille.

 

[homeforsummer]

Isn't that a Series 2? I'm pretty sure the Series 3 had flared arches and a bigger, flashier grille.

I think you're right actually, no idea how I mixed that up as the Series II is the one I've driven myself before!

 

[Beeblebrox237]

I think you're right actually, no idea how I mixed that up as the Series II is the one I've driven myself before!

It's not a difficult mistake to make. Mainly, I think, because when you are confronted with an E-Type one is too busy drooling over it to really pay attention to the fine details. But that could just be me.

 

[homeforsummer]

I think one thing that threw me is the rear lights - I'd forgotten how nasty they became from the Series 2 onwards, after the original cars had a slim light unit on a level with the chrome bumpers. Never been overly keen on the recessed headlamps either.

 

[Katiegan]

Those back lights...

 

[Davis]

Those back lights...

The whole car deserves the Questionable Mods thready, really.

[Johnny1996]

I spent the day in the greater Altoona, PA, area yesterday and saw a lot of nice spots, but I only had time to take these five photos, four are way old cars and one a Ford truck.

 

[SniperRed3]

[Ferraridriver27]

I recently came back from a school journey to Prague. Very nice city and a lot of stuff to visit. Missed a few good spots but here are the ones I've caught. (Sorry for the bad quality, only had a phone with me.)

Ferrari FF

Bentley Continental

Chevrolet Camaro SS

Nissan 370 Z Cabrio (maybe tuned by STILLEN)

Maserati Granturismo Sport

Bentley Arnage

Lexus IS-F

Maserati and Bentley on Prague's most exclusive street

A few things I saw on the way back home:

Porsche Macans and an Audi S3 (and way too much exposure)

Porsche 356 and 911

New Porsche 911 Turbo

And last but not least: Wiesmann MF5 GT

@playnthru apparently I'm the only one who noticed it-your Gallardo from Friday is from Arkansas
And everyone else whose posts I liked-

Same story as last week-went to grandmas, little internet, etc etc, here's what I saw this weekend.


Same '68 Firebird, but now for sale and better pic.

'67? Crustang and guest

19?? Ford wooden pickup

ROUSH Mustang- I couldn't find any info, I originally thought it was Stage 3 due to raised hood, but all of their kits include that :/

Dodge Viper. I saw it last week at the same church but couldn't get a pic; didn't think I would see it again!

Same Chevy pickup as last week, this time the front. It's actually across my grandmas house but in country terms that's 200+ ft away

Back at home now-
Cobalt SS (is it the SC or T variant?)

Ferrari 360 Convertible, now comes with traffic pole

Oh, edit- we're going back up there in two weeks to finish up the move... I saw something today in a certain place and it may have been a Ford GT40... dead serious. I saw it going up there and coming back, hopefully it's still there.

 

[playnthru]

Mini MC40

Fiat 124

VW Beetle

VW Thing

Porsche Carrera S

Porsche 356

Porsche 911 Targa

Porsche 911?/356

Not sure, think this is a Roush Mustang?

Half a Chevelle, 71-72 rear bumper. No idea about the badge?

1968 Camaro

Mercury Cougar

1969 Camaro

Buick Skylark

Buick GS

Ford Bronco

Focus fail.. 1947 Cadillac Series 62, thanks RocZX.👍

1932 Ford Jalopy Hot Rod

BMW ALPINA B7

Beautiful Jaguar 4.2 E-Type Coupe, in a proper color too!

 

[Dagger311]

You just took the thread.

 

[ildd]

@playnthru I believe the Chevelle badge indicates it has the 396 turbo-jet engine.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

C7

Bad pic of a gt500

Id?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I'm 99% sure that's a real m5. I think normal 5 series have 2 exhausts not 4.

You just took the thread.

erm, what? no offense to playnthur, quality as usual, but nothing thread taking that I can see there. Page taking sure, but this thread has seen some mind blowing spots. Wiegert and Ferraridriver27 both have equally good posts on this same page, though...
