New Discovery Sport, only just unveiled in Paris yesterday and I see one in Sutton Coldfield.

Okay, so, we were at a stoplight, and I kept hearing a V8 rev up. We go, the traffic is passing us, and this guy punches it when he sees me with the camera.

It sounded good. Aftermarket exhaust and cammed is all I know.

We both happened to stop in the same gas station, was too shy to take pics, but I gave him a nice thumbs up, and he waved. He was showboating the whole way. Revving it up, did a little tire smoking in the gas station, it was nice.

I accidentally get in a secret elevator and went to the parking garage where all the rich people live. The very first three cars I see are an SL63, S63 and Maserati Gran Turismo.

Iroc-Z. Owner paid 500 for a rusted shell a couple years back, restored it for a grand, paid 1.5k for either a 305 or 350 (can't remember which), another 800 for the trans, and has 2,200 in mods.

Total cost for a running Iroc-Z = 3,800, with the mods he's done, 6,000. Aftermarket exhaust, different cam, and a bit of audio work.

Bonus: two cars that might still be a somewhat common sight (not sure though) for those GTP members living in the US. However, because they're quite rare over here I'll post them anyway.

1979 Chevrolet Monza 2+2.

Ferrari Enzo at a local area cars and coffee type event. This was the last advertised day of the year for this area.

427 Cobra with the 4 dual throat 50 DICH(A) Webber carbs. I'm forgetting which designation the carbs were.

Too many Lamborghini's, Ferrari's, Maserati's, Porsche's, Corvette's and other cars to upload pictures of them all ;)

Over a hundred cars. These were taken with my cell phone for easy uploading. I have a few more that I took with my DSLR, including some panoramics of the event from the east and west sides of the parking lot that I'll try to remember to upload later.

I arrived late since I drove almost 200 miles to get there. They let me in to the last endcap of a parking area. I parked in front of a Jaguar F type, I think.

Would love to go to that cars and coffee in irvine but I'll have to fly to California first. Like @Legro said those pics go here https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...good-today-event-and-showroom-edition.118094/ .
 
The purpose of it is so that the page loads quicker, and so that you can choose whose images you want to load rather than loading a bunch of stuff you've already seen.

I'm saying it doesn't help pages to load quicker. My evidence... I can come here and wait for the page to stop loading, and then when I click the spoiler all the images are already there. If the spoiler tags help pages to load faster, wouldn't I then have to wait for those images to load after clicking the spoiler tag? On the other hand, if I don't wait for the page to stop loading and as soon as I get here I click a spoiler tag, then I can see that those images are still loading. In other words the page loads all images when you get here, whether they're behind spoiler tags or not. So no, spoiler tags don't help the page to load quicker.

Does help to unclutter the page and make for faster scrolling, though.
