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

[jeffgoddin]

Z4 Alpina, Punto Abarth and Williams Clio are way cooler than those supercars (I've seen all those, but never/no chance for the ones you posted!) Any way to do one of those searches that tells you how many of the Clios are left?

But unless you were late for something important, why not pull in and say hi, can I snap a few pics?

What's a bunch of supercars doing on a farm? those are city slicker cars .

Think landed gentry, not Iowa corn farmer...

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

ooohhh, I didn't notice that the Z4 was an Alpina. I thought he just took a picture of a normal Z4.

I could tell the wheels weren't normal, and they did remind me of the Alpina B7's I've seen over here... but I'd never heard of an Alpina Z4, and it looked like numbers on the side not an M badge... so I zoomed in, and 3.4s sounded odd, should be 3.5... So into google search it went.

Edit: technically I guess it's called an Alpina Roadster S (not to be confused with the Roadster V8...)

The model designation was on the back, I think it's called the Alpina Roadster 3.4S.

Any way to do one of those searches that tells you how many of the Clios are left?

HML stats say roughly 80 of those original Williams' are left on UK roads, with another 140~ declared off the road.

Adding to that, there are 200~ Williams 2s (70~ road legal) and 120~ Williams 3s (40~ road legal) left. So about 540 in total. Probably just a small fraction of the numbers left in Europe, but there's no way to check as far as I know.

Forgot to post this yesterday.

911 turbo S.

I apologize for the less than ideal lighting, but I didn't want to be that guy creating a flash of light every 10 seconds in a parking garage.

Seriously awful rolling pic of a GT-R

And, I 🤬 you not, my absolute most favorite spot ever. I was about to cross a stop sign heading into my neighborhood and I saw the left side of this and thought, "oh sweet, an E-cla...HOLY POTATOES IT'S AN E63 WAGON" and turns out he lives .4 miles from my house. Told him he was driving my dream car, he laughed and I asked if I could take a couple pics, he said it was fine. Only had it four months and 12k miles on it.

Holy 🤬, a E63 AMG Wagon! @ildd I applaud you for that. *claps hands*

Some spuds from yesterday. I decided to experiment with my camera settings a bit...

as you can see the experiment was unsuccessful.

 

[playnthru]

My pocket digital camera didn't do a good job capturing the true color of this '32. It was closer to the color of Cheez-whiz or maybe Orange Juice in real life.

[JR98]

Haven't seen much lately, just a 1996 200SX S14, they're pretty rare where I am, only one I have ever seen

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Neat, it's a S14 200SX that hasn't been messed with too and it's clean.

I see it often but it's the only 200SX I have seen, has different wheels and exhaust (I think) as exterior upgrades, I love the plate M 200SX M

Haven't seen one in the wild yet but I've seen 3 at auto shows. That's a great color for it, is that factory or a wrap?

Just noticing... wish the photo had higher resolution to tell better... is that a GP Mini and 190SL, too?

Oh and meant to say, 164L!

Looks like a Mini GP and i think the other car is a Austin Healey

Yup, Mini GP #1230 or 50?. It belongs to one of shop workers at BSC. There's also another Mini GP I see fairly often cruising around, #1030.

The blue car in the background is a stunning MKIII Healey! I've seen a few in this color combination but am unsure if this one is a new spot to me?

Seen a fair few electric cars in the last few days. First there was actually an electric car in the recently added electric car bays near where I live although it was just a Leaf...

Saw this in a car park a lovely looking Tesla Model S 85 2014 model. First time I've seen a Tesla in person. Nice number plate!

And then saw a silver I8 on the way back home but on the other side of the road. Stunning car that really caught my eye.

We meet again

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Abarth 500 no stripe

 

[jeffgoddin]

Welcome back JrDarkness! And Abarth 500's... took me a while to spot my first, and was pretty excited when I finally did. The excitement has since drained away, and now I'm more likely to laugh in derision at the exhaust note. I swear when I was in SF I had to make an effort to not include one in the background when I was taking a photo of something actually good, they were everywhere, must've seen 30-50 in the three months. Still, a winter spot... I know I took a photo of an S4 the other day...

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Ignore the date, I saw this today.

 

[Crash]

Just thought it was kinda neat to have 3 generations of the 3 Series in series.

 

[Minty]

57 Bel Air passing by my house as I was getting back from work.

Turbo 911 I spotted while running a delivery.

5.0 2015 Mustang GT. I know it's nothing special, but this is an older photo and it was the first one I'd seen.

BMW M6. Normally I'm not big into BMWs, but damn, this looked good.

Lotus Exige, there are actually a few Elises and Exiges in that area of Annapolis.

My friend putting a battery in whatever this is. I know it, but I'm drawing a blank on it. The guy that owns it was pretty cool, he takes good car of it.

An out of focus Supra leaving my work. Guy said he rescued it from the previous owner who was just letting it rot. Hopefully with enough TLC he'll be able to restore it's pixels.

GTR at the gas station near my work. There are actually 3 or 4 different GTRs that I see in the area once in a while.

Griffith. This actually rolled into the shop the day after I took this photo, and the guy has a Ford V8 swapped into it. The thing sounded mean, but I never asked for details on exactly what engine he had in it.

And finally, the highlight of the past couple months for me:

This was actually a screen capture from the video I took of him rolling out, because for some reason the photos didn't save. But this photo was taken a while ago(as is evident by the leaves), and I wired up cables to his battery so he could charge it without having to remove the cargo tray in the front Apparently he just leaves it sit and almost never drives it, which makes me sad.
