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

[1X83Z]

Keef - great spots. +rep for the 328. And of course, benny, I'd love to have had that Viper SRT-10 Coupe spot, but what can I do. Although I take some comfort in knowing that since it was at a strip, I couldn't have 'officially' counted it anyway. Still, at this point I'd just like to see one.

My spots this evening:

In my neighborhood. I believe the owner had an Azure Mulliner before this, as I was told by the dealer that the Azure was traded for a Flying Spur, but I can't confirm it.

Bentley Brooklands.

Not the very best shape, but very good shape no less. Not many of these around - but then again, they're around when you need them. Someone will enjoy this spot, I'm sure.

Of course, would you expect any less of me? Any time I see a Bel Air I have to stop and appreciate it. Its probably the second-best-looking American car behind the C2 Stingray Corvettes in my greatly un-biased opinion... Truly one of the most American cars ever sold.

Did I ever mention that my Grandmother had a '56 Bel Air? My Grandparents had a lot of really cool cars including a 300D, Fury, multiple Impala SS', the previously mentioned Bel-Air, Valiants, Olds Toronado, etc...

I certainly agree that the C2 Corvette is the best-looking, though I don't know if I'd call this second. Offhand, do you know the year of this particular Bel Air? I know one can tell based on the bodystyle, as it changed year to year.

SVT Cobra & WRX STi (not rare by themselves, but I thought it was kinda cool to get them both in one shot).

Maser...

Maser...

XLR...

XLR PLUS Maser...

S8...

DB7…

Corvettes are pretty common around here so I usually ignore them, but this one is pretty slick:

 

[Joey D]

That's an XLR-V, pretty rare and ridiculously expensive for what it is.

 

[TheCracker]

Here's something you just don't see everyday* - a Matra Murena 2.2S (one of 480 made)

I followed it on my way into work this morning. I've not seen it before, which is odd since it must live no more than half a mile away from me and would appear to be the owners 'daily'. I wasn't going to photograph it, but it ended up pulling up just past me whilst i was sat in traffic so i thought 'what the hell' and snapped it on my phone. It's a poor pic but that's what you get when you don't carry yout camera around with you.



* Well, almost NOT everyday

[bennyrrr]

Yea, new SRT10 Coupe. And technically The strip was an airport runway. At Kingdon airport.

Mercury Capri:

Mercedes 380SL illegally parked in a handicapped space:

N20 Focus from Saleen:

 

[Alex.]

They've decided to let me near the SLR'S and Maybach's etc. near the end of this week so I'll be getting the photies in!

 

[Keef]

Wow, nice Saleen Focus spot Joey! I've never seen one. A kid I went to high school with has a Roush Focus, and it's the only one I've ever seen. Personally I think it looks lightyears better than that Saleen. I might have to take some pics of it.

 

[ExigeEvan]

That saleen focus looks like the crap "tuned" cars the locals put out. It's really, really tacky looking.

err..it is a crap ricer car.....

 

[ExigeEvan]

err..it is a crap ricer car.....

Ohhh, I thought Saleen might have done something good to it.

 

[Joey D]

They increased the power by 30 and put in N02.

 

[land sea air]

YSS I'm guessing you meant Chrysler 300D and not Mercedes 300D...

 

[YSSMAN]

YSS I'm guessing you meant Chrysler 300D and not Mercedes 300D...

Yes, a 1958 Chrysler 300D Convertible in White... One of fewer than 600 if I recall the numbers correctly.

Anyway, today turned out to be a pretty decent day:

I never see the Altima SE-Rs anymore, so this was a treat. They still look pretty bad-ass, I have to admit. Oh, and the silver Cabrio in the top photo is my Grandmother's...

You can barely see it, but there is a brown Jaguar E-Type Coupe there in that garage... Behind the BMW.

Ford Expedition XL. They're pretty big, aren't they? I'd still rather have a Suburban...

BMW 335xi. Still a sweet car...

That would be my Grandfather's Prelude Si (circa '89). Mint condition fewer than 120K on the clock, its still one of the best cars I've ever driven. Oh, my Dad's Avalanche is there too...

...Sweet...

 

[Boz Mon]

That Lude is amazing 👍

 

[Keef]

Yeah. Gramps wouldn't mind unloading that Lude for about...$150, would he? The thing looks great. Boz, you should post that in the Honda club, just so we can talk all Preludy.

[Jay]

Haha, yep.

Lol i snapped a photo of a butt ugly blue one like a long time ago....

 

[Joey D]

I had no idea we exported that hunk of junk.

It was sold as a Mercury here, a pseudo luxury brand.

 

[Joey D]

Today's shots:

The first yellow Z06 I've seen, driven by a college kid to, either he has to much bloody money or his daddy bought it for him. And I took this picture from the 6th floor, thought it came out pretty cool.

STS-V with Tennessee plates, I wasn't aware anyone outside the Detroit area bought these.

 

[ExigeEvan]

BMW 2002 Automatic at the local MOT centre. Couldn't get a pic this time, might still be there tomorrow.

One of only three cars built in Australia in recent memory, the others being the Mitsubishi Diamante and the Pontiac GTO.
