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

[Volksauto]

Rolls Royce Silver Cloud in downtown Seattle.

What a drop dead gorgeous automobile!

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Spotted in Otley: first generation Dodge Viper. These are a good spot in the US, but in the UK they're incredibly rare. I did some research and there are 10 Chrysler Vipers registered and 3 Chrysler Viper RT10s registered, so at most this is one of 13 in the country (there are also 5 GTSs).

It's a Nobe 100 EV. It's also...kinda fake.

Turns out... It's not fake!

They just announced that they built the first car and have orders for 100 more! 0_0

That's great, but that particular example that was shown was fake...at least in some indeterminate part.

Fake as in... a non-functional concept car without an interior. ))

However you define fake, I'm just glad to hear they are starting to build cars. I'd really like this Baltic beauty to be a success.

Well, the notion of it being fake was really intended to be tongue-in-cheek, hence the "kinda fake" followed by a laughing smiley.

The display model appears to be far, far less than a functional car with window coverings to conceal a gutted interior. Rather, it looks like it may be a machined open cell foam representation that's been wrapped in polyfilm and decorated, then set upon a simple chassis to position the wheels and allow it to roll.

That's all fine, though. I don't know where you saw it but that you didn't know what it was suggests it wasn't any kind of official display.

I'd be interested in knowing how you received the announcement, though--their page doesn't appear to have changed significantly (apart from the notice that there are 38 days left to contribute to their crowdfunding venture), and the only thing close to an actual physical representation of a car is this:

I've actually been following it casually through various design sites and forums, and would really love to see it come to fruition; it looks fantastic and I like the whole idea of it.

The newspaper had an article about it.
They wrote that the first car is bought by Peter Vesterbacka (Angry Birds)

Everything about Nobe should probably be split off into its own thread. Looking at the Nobe website, Peter Versterbacka, the former brand manager of Rovio, makers of Angry Birds, is now the marketing and brand manager of Nobe, and he bought the first car. A second car has also been sold, this one to David Helgason, founder, board member and former CEO of Unity Technology.

Gonna be a good weekend first day of the St Johns concourse, tomorrow is cars and coffee and then Sunday is the main concourse. Saw my first Honda Beat, Toyota century and my first Aston Martin Virage in Michigan. I saw two Virages in California for car week last year.

Sweet, where I live, the Milwaukee Concours is also going to start next weekend.
These are some pics I took from last year:

720S that was in the parking lot but I must’ve missed it. It did have a regular plate not a dealer or manufacturer plate

I guess AMG Mercs like Burger King second AMG I’ve seen at a Burger King

This thing has a dodge hemi in it but I dont know what it’s called

Very nice VW GTi Mk VI. It's sad to see the 3-door hatchback disappearing from the marketplace.


1961 Chrysler New Yorker hardtop station wagon. The hardtop sedan and wagon was one of the better 1950s US automotive design ideas.


Porsche 911 Targa. This Porsche green in my favorite car color, ever.


MGB and Cadillac CTS Coupe

Focus RS and a manufacture plate Chevy Silverado don’t know why it has a manufacture plate. Doesn’t a M plate mean new car, prototype, or concept that isn’t in production yet?

I would think that Silverado is a new vehicle, considering it's the 2019 model year. On Chevrolet's website, they say that preproduction vehicles are shown throughout their upcoming Silverado section and that it'll be available late 2018.

Admittedly, it is August, so they might be transitioning to production phase.

I know it doesn't conform with the OP, but I was driving to Buttai Quarry to grab some soil samples for my work.
I'm on John Renshaw Drive about to turn onto Old Buttai Road. I see what I thought was a very low, dark blue NB MX-5. Turns out it was a TVR Tamora, top down at 8am.

Never ever saw one. And to see it here, was awesome.

@Turbo that was a 599 GTO at the grocery store

 

[Populuxe]

I had a very good day carspotting yesterday.

Mitsubishi Delica 4x4 RHD


Mercedes-Benz 380SL R107


Chevrolet Camaro SS convertible


2010 SMS Supercars 570 Challenger at the grocery store. Owner said there were only 24 built, and he got #24.



The highlight of the day for me, a 1939 or 1940 Lincoln Zephyr coupe. I rolled down my window just to listen to the flathead V12 sing it's song.
