Mini Cooper S Works GP


My second one, but this has "GPO300" on the side. It didn't look ricey or anything (well, no more than factory), so does this mean anything? I figured it could just be a local car club thing.

It's actually GP0300 - it's number out of 2000, the total production run. That's a stock Cooper S Works GP. I've never seen one on the road, although I saw one yesterday on the London to Brighton Mini run (a show, so it doesn't count), sans number decal. There should be a plaque on the dash with the number on it too. Good spot!

Edit: I lie; the one I saw yesterday did have the number decal on it - but the number is only over the driver's side door, and I took pictures from the front and rear left 3/4s. The one I saw I think was 0755.

A pair from the weekend:

Merc ML 63 AMG - spotted in Brighton. First one I've seen on the road.



Standard 360 fare.



Makes up for the half-dozen other cars worthy of this thread that I wasn't able to take a photo of.
 
Doug, I can't believe you didn't yell at the guy for having his windows up. If one drives a convertible with the windows up they should get a first class ticket to hell.

Or are you one of those people?
 
Unfortunatley I didnt see anything good today.

I especially saw a couple of terrible cars next door my ontime automtoive where im doing my work experience.

Next door is...


Listers Audi Warehouse.



​

ya'll be giving me some +rep If you think it's nice :D
 
Oh hell I've already seen an R8 on the road, but it was right outside of the Audi HQ here in Michigan.

i like that ML63 in black. I have seen one here in silver once, looked pretty sweet.

Btw, i think i have been in that restaurant or cofe shop (if i'm not mistaken) when i was in uk last time :) :dopey:
 
you just know its cool...

No offense, CCX, but I'm sure why that deserves rep if you're just outside one of the company's warehouses.

I think it's a dealer, but I agree with the sentiment.

I have no idea what a Saleen 550 is, but admit it, this is a great photograph.
 
It's probably one of those 1000 variants of the Mustangs floating around...I have never seen one car with so many packages.

Guessing its a S281 since they have 550hp.

I thought the S281 had less power? Like 500? Agree with your first sentences - man - why not just make every different car off the line a 'special edition?'
 
I've taken a few pics in the last few days. Here's the most interesting, if not fabulous, stuff:


Ferrari 328 GTS. And the rear:




You remember the Two Stupid Dogs? Well these are the Two Stupid License Plates. Well, isn't that cute. BUT IT'S WRONG!!!


CLS55

EDIT: Make the Three Stupid License Plates. I just noticed the "DFT UM" on this OSU alum's CLS55.


I swung over my shoulder to get this H2 limo. Came out pretty neat looking. Must be my inner photographer. I mean, imagine it. It's a black H2 travelling at warp speed so it's all stretched out. Or maybe I was going 200 in my Sol. Cool.


I don't know what it is but it's cool.


335. I bet the owner hasn't even mashed the gas yet.


Catch YSS if he passes out. This is a relic from when the C5 first paced the Indianapolis 500.



There was an SCCA Solo 2 event last weekend and I was there Friday night. There were nearly 100 racers in total. Man, I love this stuff!


It's been years since I've seen a Baja. The thing that sucks is I managed this shot, but I failed to get an SVX cruising through McDonalds later because I was facing the wrong direction. I turned around as he drove away. Damn!
 
Speaking of the Baja, does anyone here like besides me? I remember when it came out, I definately wanted to look at getting one in yellow.
 
Really, I don't even remember when they came out. That's how lame they are.

And yes, Doug, that's a very nice picture of the Saleen Thing. Makes me wanna get a nice digital camera.
 
Yeah, the Baja is an Avalanche for people who don't want to have their wallets beaten with a sack of wet socks coated in cement everytime they fill up their wallets.
 
I was looking at a Ridgeline in the showroom yesterday. I had to shut the tailgate three times before I said "I guess it's closed" and walked away. Seriously. It was like a car door except without the confidence. Losing confidence in a door can't be a good thing.
 
...While I do love most Corvettes, the Indy Pace Car isn't the most fabulous in C5 form. A friend of mine had one, unfortuantely with a slushbox, and while it was a nice car, it was a bit too outrageous for me...

Plus, I like the Camaro pace cars better anyway...
 
I saw a few good cars today. Rare, certainly. A Mitsubishi GTO, an earlier model that I didn't catch a photo of. I saw a Olds. 442 Convertible, in what appeared to be in beautiful condition, and I saw this:

carspot001oz3.jpg


I've no clue what it is. The front looked kind of a Morgan Plus 8, but there's the rest of the car attached. License plate reads 4T9, so I assume it's from model year 1949. Furthermore, there was a small british flag on the hood cowl, similar to what you'd see on the rear quarter of a TR6. So I assume it's british.

Any ideas of what this might be?
 
Went to the Kingdon drag races. Saw these.
