You bet I did! (see anything good today...) Too hot, set out at 5pm, wanted to go south but spotted rain... turned back north and lucky I did! Lol, this took some work! 5 miles after I spotted him... First spotted turning left with an arrow a couple hundred feet ahead. A quick duck into a corner gas station to avoid waiting for the traffic that was now oncoming and out onto the road he took left me four cars behind. One turned off, I passed another, another turned off and I passed the last to get right behind him after a couple miles. Crap these corner quick! Notice how far over he is? I'm sure I made him a little nervous... but I got him, and finally found a nice double lane stretch and some lucky traffic for a few decent shots. Adrenaline pumping and successful chase!

I went out today to go return something and I decided to bring my new Camera along for the ride.

I haven't seen a Focus SVT in a while. I actually recorded this on accident and just took a screenshot of the video to post here.

A blurry picture of a Jaguar XJS Convertible, it was also recorded on accident. So of course, I screenshotted it on my computer.

Some pictures won't work for now. Photobucket is being mean to me but last time it happened it fixed itself after a few hours. Open the invisible images in a new tab.

Here's what I've seen recently. Not too much going on but let's begin with the fact that I am by no mens a spotter :P

Fiat 126p with black license plates. Black license plates are a thing of nostalgia and an icon of the '90s in Poland, so it's always nice to see some of these! Also yay for the Smart Roadster to the right!



Continental GT, I love them. Always make me go "ah, one day..." :D


Granturismo:


Also with black plates, this magnificent old Mercedes, probably a 230 from around 1960:


A bit less magnificent, but still very nice to look at, and not even the more powerful version - Audi A7. @jeffgoddin's gonna like this :D


Completely forgot what that Skoda was.


Rolls Royce Silver Cloud:




Renault Avantime, very rare in Poland:


An R8 whose owner thinks nobody knows it's actually a V8:


Continental Flying Spur:


An awesome Mini Cooper with plates from the town I grew up in, been seeing this for a few days recently and even heard it pass by a bus I was in. Man, what a sound!



Ghibli:


An astonishing Opel Corsa with some crappy Ferrari behind it:


Mercedes SL500, just oozing with coolness:


While not the most unusual thing on the road to see, I can't get enough of looking at the new VW Passat. I swear some of the msot common and 'meh' cars of the past are now turning into classy road boats.


Aside from it being an Adler I don't know what this is:


C4 Corvette:


SLS GT, my first (and probably last):


And a few days later:


S63 AMG Coupe, the first I managed to shoot:



2nd gen Camaro whose owner is no idea what it means when people give you a thumbs up as you're driving a car that's 40 years old:


...this...:


An RS500, the second I've seen:


aaaand finishing with this old Golf. I'm not a fan of these but this one looks pretty good in my opinion:


👍

You're right, I love the design of the Audi 7's, though I won't take/post photos of an A7, I still like to watch them pass by! And that is an astonishing pile of bird doo on that Opel! And, S63 not S65 I believe...

I remember there was a detail about that S-Class in one of these two photos that could help me tell an S63 from S65. I think it was supposed to be the badges under side mirrors saying V8 and V12, respectively. I swear I saw "V12" there...I honestly have just realized that it literally says S63 on the back :lol:

And that A7 is doubly cool to me as it has these 'loading bar' LED indicators :D (speaking of which - do they have a name in English?) I don't know, there's just something satisfying and hypnotizing in looking at them work... Yes I'm very happy that A LOT of modern Audis have them.
 
Spotting today was kinda a pain, my Camera for some reason takes forever to snap a picture and sometimes; the flash would come on when I turned it off. :grumpy:

Anyway, the 2 pictures from my college here are not with my new nikon. I didn't have it with me as I was going to class.

This makes it my 3rd spot of a CLK 55 AMG this year.

A closeup of a Camaro IROC-Z, I rushed this shot and kinda forgot to lower the zoom. :/
Of course, I still would take this picture over a grainy shot anyday.

I've seen the M Roadster before, but I never had a good opportunity to get a picture of it until now.

A Monte Carlo SS that I pass by sometimes when driving around.

Lastly, I saw this 1969 Mustang in front of a garage I turned around to capture. This was the picture where the flash decided to come on. Though, I thought the picture would look worse.

An oldschool van (Latvian-designed, Armenian-made) that used to be quite common on the streets in '80s and '90s, but pretty rare today. I thought it could be "good":

Went to check out this Subaru XT that was on Craigslist. Got to drive this as well, and the digital dash and the steering wheel are just so damn awesome. This was also converted to an NA 1.8 and a 5 speed from a Subaru technician.
