Today I saw a silver Ford Focus in my rear view mirror as it shunted into the back of me. Fortunately at low speed and didn't do any damage to either cars but still, if your in the drivers seat you need to concentrate. I see a Renault Alpine A310 every day almost.
 
I do like those Renault A310's - such an underated and therefore undervalued sub-supercar - if you can get past the Renault parts-bin interior.

Was it the Turbo version?
 
Can't see the wheels clearly, but it looks like the NA car.

They were actually very nice to drive, despite the let-down interior. More GT than super sports, with a relatively plush ride and light, direct steering (which you would expect on an RR car).

The NA was still decently quick, too. I wouldn't kick it out of bed, so to speak...

I used to sell Renaults when that car was current, and one of my fellow salesman was toying with the idea of getting one. He bought a Lotus Esprit S3 in the end, which was blessed with astonishing handling and grip, and an almost total lack of bodyroll. It just darted round corners.

Oh, I nearly forgot: I actually saw a Noble for the first time today. It was very small, it seemed even smaller than an Elise, and it was certainly lower. They should have got those into GT, I'm sure it would benefit their sales (unless the virtual one was a pig, like the Lister...). Sorry, no pics (it was behind me).
 
Saw my first new Jag XK today, for definite.

Strangely enough I also saw 2 Cayennes today, but one of them I see daily as drops off at my school.
 
No it's not a turbo model, Eddie, regaring the Nboel you saw it must have been further away than you thought. They're bigger than an Elsie, over 10cm wider and over 30cm longer but they arn't big car's.
 
This Legnum VR-4 outside my house and the F360 Spyder late last night...

Nothing. Nothing at all. Amazing...it was such a sunny day, expected to see a few convertibles around. All I saw was a Pontiac Sunfire Convertible....which isn't too cool.
 
A white Mitsubishi Evo IV yesterday at a 2nd hand car dealer whilst giving a collegue a lift to work. interestingly a while back they were selling a White Toyota Celica GT4, also a 4WD 250Bhp car :).
i'll go get some pics in a little while.

And today on the way back from work a silver Mitsubishi Evo IV! on the road going past the town hall, i couldnt believe it! 2 less common Evo's in 2 days. :dopey:

Thats no stripe thingy thas an FXX! I think they only made less than 20 of those
Yup, definitely an FFX. Only 29 have been built and are track-legal only.

More info on the car found here.
 
I saw my old '98 Accord LX at the nearby Carl's Jr. I couldn't find the owner, but looked like he had taken a good care of my baby. It was only the second time I'd seen it, since I traded her in. :(
 
I went to downtown Vancouver today for volunteering and saw these:

Ferrari 456M
RUF RGT
'60s Olds Cutlass Convertible (4-wheel drum brakes) restored and DUB-fied
'60s Malibu Chevelle (or the other way around)
Pontiac GTO
Lotus Elise
5 Hummer H2's with various DUB rims.
MB SL65 AMG
 
I was going to a concert the other day and on my way there I saw a red Ferrari 360 parked outside some swanky club. So I thought I'd go up to it and admire it in person and when I did, a new Viper SRT-10 (Or what the hell they're called) drove past me.

Quite unusual here. 👍
 
Maserati and a couple of vipers.
