went door knocking and found the owner, Ukrainian guy of course! he's going to put the body of the red one on a Mini Cooper. aside from a couple in a museum, these may be the only ZAZ's in the USA!

Car spotting has slowed down a bit now that it actually gets sorta warm here, but I'll take a slightly more normal pool of cars over snowbirds and the mixed bag of driving styles they brought.

Same house, but in the conventional driveway around the corner. People outside North America may not consider this a good spot, but we didn't get G-Wagens in the nineties, making the few older Gs that have managed to find their way over here pretty special.

:0 you sure that thing is a "kit car"?

Well, no. I forget who, but somebody made molds of the original panels and build 75 of these. Not sure what else to call it, though. Very pretty, to be sure. Notice no door handles? If you have the key in your pocket, just wave your hand in front of the door and it opens for you!

Also, great post, Doog!

so... spotted this in front of a body shop I guess? other cars normal, well except for a very nice 1968 Chevelle and S600.
alfa gtv 1600 or 2000 by spotterjeff, on Flickr

chatted with the first guy I saw, washing a car in an open bay. I look over next to him and there's this. Turns out, one of less than 2000 made!

so, I gotta find the owner of this place. looks Japanese, but I notice Korean lettering on the building. friendly guy, when I express my excitement with what I've seen, he says, oh, you must come inside! Do you know what a Montreal is? !!!!

as I was leaving, thought to ask if the owner's name was .... sure enough, same guy with the yellow 458, the 400GT 2+2, and going a big further back Maserati Mistral and Lamborghini Espada that I've spotted. Serious collector, and now I know 3 places where he gets his cars worked on, mwa-ha-ha!!!
 
Alright, just warning you, anybody who appreciates a Celica is going to have his mind blown... I warned you.

starting to upload more than 5 at a time to Flickr, though I know all past 5 will get hardly any views... but with a backlog of almost 200 photos and summer still approaching...

this surprised the hell out of me. turned around to chase after an Exige I'd missed (and never caught) and found something much much cooler, only the 3rd 2CV I've seen in Ohio (and one stuffed deep in the garage of a specialty shop.)

goddam our bumper standards... that Beemer would be quite fetching without the massive lump of black plastic sticking out the back. and, fat lot of good the bumper requirements do, when bumper heights aren't required to be standard... this past winter I went right under the rear end of a Jetta because our bumper heights don't match (sheet ice, sucked, but no real damage done...)

and whoa, E34 M5!!!!!!!!! one of the few M-Beemers I've yet to spot!
 
So many great finds over here, i missed too many cars including:
  • Couple Corvette C5 and C6
  • couple Nissan GT-R's (some are tuned)
  • Classic Rover Mini
  • Late 90's modified Eclipse (no it's not riced out),
  • 1973 Pontiac Trans am
  • Ford Mustang Cobra (not sure which exact one but it's 4th gen mustang "new edge" 1999-2004 and it had "cobra" written in the back instead of "mustang")
  • Bentley mulsanne.

So here's a couple poor images of a maserati quattroporte:

If you looked right, you would see a red Chevrolet Corvette C5 (you could also see that pop out light too):

I'm not sure if this really counts but here's a 3rd Gen Mustang:

And this is might be a repost but i actually forgot that i taken another image of the Celica, sadly it's the same problem with every single car i post here:

Nice :D:tup:
The red one is actually 966 (968 did not have this big chrome front grill). Putin used to drive a white 968 when he was a student, BTW :D

These look like they're from a dealer, not a garage.
 

Yes this is my video and my channel so don't worry :')
So yeah, MP4-12C.. Can't find many super hot cars like these in Australia so I videoed it instead of taking a pic (If you listen closely you can hear him launch)
As my friend said, must be whoring out for the day...
Sorry for potato camera :') not the best phone
