I had both a Tofaş 131 and a Renault 12 when I lived in Turkey in 1986/7.

I had both a Tofaş 131 and a Renault 12 when I lived in Turkey in 1986/7.

That was the only 131 I saw during my week over there. Compare that to the somewhat common 124-based Serce and the later Sahin/Dogan/Kartal models that can still be found on virtually every street in the province. Cheap domestic models thriving and surviving.

Tofaş Doğan


There were plenty of 12s still knocking around since they were also built there throughout the 90s. Most of them facelifted wagons.

That Saab is the same year and model as my very first car. Wish it were a Carlsson.

Now, I either need to buy my own Lotus or I need a friend that owns one. This belongs to the father of my daughter's best friend. Running an F20C.

I have always thought the F20C would be a great option in an Elise.

I’m always happy to take another picture of a 911, in this case a 991 GT3. Although it doesn’t matter which 911 or when it was built. I believe every generation of 911 is the greatest sports car of its generation.

Some cars I spotted today:
Honda Legend Mk1 - what a pleasant surprise this one was. I thought it was an 80s Honda Accord at first which would've been cool on it's own, but this is just even better isn't it?

VW Scirocco 3rd gen (no R but still a cool find nonetheless):

Also spotted a red Audi RS7 (2nd gen) but couldn't manage to take a photo of it

I'd have the Legend. Co-worker back in the day, circa 1998, had a lovely brownish two-tone Legend 5-speed, with the first Kaminari full body kit sans wing, on gold BBS RS. Straight from the brochure. Instant classic back then. Even had the sunroof and brown velour interior, instead of leather. Choice!

At first I thought its some Chinese abomination 🤣

Got home. Stepped out on my balcony and saw this thing just chillin’. Had to grab my daughter and get some snaps.

BMW X5 M

Ford Bronco Raptor, I'm guessing. There was also a Mercedes AMG G-Wagon, but I didn't want to get out an take a picture of it due to a couple talking a couple cars over. I didn't want them giving me a look for trying to take a picture of a SUV. It's also why I didn't walk close to this and the X5 M.

I love those old bread loafs.

These spots are technically from the past 2 days. There were other cars I saw, but driving prented me from taking pictures of them.

Spoiler: cars I missed

• Aston Martin DB9 (Facelifted, Silver), saw on a bridge when coming home.
• 2 Range Rover SVRs
• Toyota Corolla GR (black), caught in traffic)
• Toyota Corolla GR (white), saw on the way home through a neighborhood.
• Chevrolet C10 (1960s, white)

I see these cars all the time. They're nothing special.

Okay.

EDIT: I'm not done with this comment. Dude, there's subjectivity in what's considered good such as people posting cars I've seen all of the time, but you don't see me quoting them about it.

You don't see people posting pictures of Mercedes SUV's on car spotting pages. Urus? Yes. DBX? Yes. GLE 63? No. Ask any of my car spotting friends and they'll agree with me. It isn't just my opinion.

 

[Populuxe]

[Narrator's voice]It was just his opinion.

You're right...I see them posting pictures of cars more common than that!

Uh huh...

Bruh, we are worldwide community. There are countries where modern mid tier MB is rare thing.

Yeah but I don't think the USA is one of them.

I've seen multiple Durango SRTs (both hellcats and 392s) in a given week and different Challenger 392s including the T/As. I won't blame people for capturing them as they're still pretty cool.


(GranTurNismo & Populuxe, you don't have to stop posting them. Post what you like!)

GR Supras are cool too, but I also see these multiple times within a given week. (which is why I would still post them too, so you're fine GranTurNismo; don't stop posting GR Supras)

and of course Scott while I don't ever see what looks like a Clio RS due to where I live, I imagine it's no more rare than a Focus ST, Mazdaspeed 3, or a modern Golf GTi would be in my country. Don't get me wrong, hot hatches are cool, but you're talking about rarity. Not how cool something is.

Plus all the past posts I've seen here with NA Miatas, 2010s STis, older F150 Raptors, newer Mustang GTs, etc. And I'm finding it hard to believe the GLE63 AMG Mercedes with over 600 hp Biturbo V8 is somehow common as heck...

Most people will agree that these are cool cars though.

Clios are not that common here in Australia (particularly the 197) and there's a small cool factor attached because French cars are interesting.

All the cars you've mentioned are not worthy spots in my book. I've seen plenty of these vehicles and I just turn a blind eye to most of them unless they have an interesting feature or modification.
