That's not a 6. It's the current 3-Series coupe.

More Blurry Image Fun. My phone camera really isn't the best at night.
First up. My second R34 GTR V-Spec II in as many weeks. Although this one was not the Nur.
I swear this 6-Series said L36 or L34 or something. But Wiki says only the L6 existed. So it may be that, I'm unsure of rareness.
Smart Car Tower. I don't know if other cities have it. But I think it's pretty awesome.
Porsche build quality. Anyone who says Porsche has infallible build quality now can refer to this picture.
I'm also questioning the Ski Rack....

M3 is out for review at the minute. The lower-end Coupe has been out for around 8 months now - in the UK at least.

Correct. 👍 I'm interested in a 335i myself, but the new 550i looks so tempting.

Admittedly this is a bit late, but I took these in a London car park not long ago. Sadly I was clever enough to forget to put batteries in my camera by that point, and so these were taken on my phone.
2 Phantoms and 3 Conti GT/Flying spurs (I can't remember how many of each, annoyingly)
And I'm pretty sure that's a DB9 under there (And a boxster in front)

That appears to be the Jetta K2 that I nearly bought from the same dealer I got my Jetta (exactly the same look, different wheels) at. Creepy...
I believe it to be a '66 Chevrolet Impala, I may be wrong on the year.
Chrysler 300C SRT-8; Still one of the coolest cars made by Detroit (well, Canada).
I loves my Solstices. Took it on my way home from picking up Pizza at my favorite shop... A 20 minute drive from my house. Long story short, I grew up around there, saw a bunch I kids I went to school with when waiting for my Pizza, I want to move back to Forest Hills.
I believe it to be an MGA, but I'm not always good at identifying old British cars. We're crazy in Forest Hills, so you see cars like this a lot. This garage services older cars all the time, so you can almost always find a nice classic hiding there.

Well, I returned from a long vacation of 3 weeks Italy, 2 in Berlin. During which, of course, I snapped some (to my standarts) interesting cars. I will post the pictures once I get them up - so for now, just the ones I didn't get a shot off.
The new Fiat Cinquecento - brilliant-looking little thing. But again, it only counts as a spot because it's so fantastically new: I spotted one two days after the official unveiling, while I was in Florence. Back in Spoleto (3 days later), I spotted my second one, in a fiery red...
Then, of course, the obvious "I saw a Ferrari but didn't shoot it". Why? I was riding my bike. So yeah - one 360 (in Spoleto, while riding up the mountain), and two 430s - one of which was a Spyder (Both seen together in Berlin, along Tiergarten).
And then there was something, perhaps rarer than your average Bugatti - two seemingly-genuine Ferrari F1 trucks which zoomed along the highway.
Also seen: An Aston Martin DB7, a couple of Jaguar V12s, a few Phaetons, three A5s, but nothing mind-blowingly interesting I didn't get a shot of.
I've actually spotted my first Lamborghini - just a regular Gallardo (which I took a picture of, in Rome) - but how many of us had the chance of almost-being-run-over-by-that-same-car?
And here are the cars I got:

And here are the cars I got:
- All three bikes are Moto Guzzis. They had a meet or something - and hearing 20 Guzzis revving sounds very, very lovely (Shot in: Perugia)
- Audi RS4 (Perugia)
- Just a regular 911 - I just found the angle funny.
- Lancia Fulvia
- Fiat Cinquecento 'As-If-Clubman'
- Innocenti Mini 1300S
- Volvo P1800ES (Not sure - that's what Danny said)
- An unknown Fiat, and unknown something-else
, no picture though

I think its a XK120.
I was thinking about it last night, and you may in fact be right. I see an old British car around here, I usually assume its an MG in most cases. I took the photo over my shoulder just as I was pulling away from a red light, so I didn't get much of a look at it.

It's actually drive-trainm related. Anything with a V6 or more and power to the rear wheels is legally obliged to park like crap.

- Are you kidding?
With the possible exception of whether a Flat Six is below a V6. I've posted this before, but it's just for example purposes.
Heinous.
But something I have seen today- a Leon with Cupra bodykit.
Edit: Unless it is a real Cupra without badging.

...I'm beginning to get jealous over the R8 spots. I need to call my friend at the Audi dealer...
My spots:
Datsun 240Z, a very nice one at that. I really love these cars, and according to my brother, he knows the guy who owns it.
I have no idea what it is. I have no idea why it was on the 'Beltline either.
My first SMART car. It had a big website plastered on the side, and truth be told, I believe this one was a convertible as well. I wanna see how well I fit in one...

Sports cars normally are. The wide stance always throws folks off.
You know it doesn't look as wide as it should for some reason. I mean I know their small even though it does suprise me often when I actually do see a supercar in person but what always amazes me is how low they are. (roofline)

As I recall, it didn't seem much bigger than a TT overall when I saw it at the Chicago Auto Show back in February. Then again, there is a pretty big difference between seeing a car on a stand and seeing one in a parking spot. On the street. Where you can touch it, but probably shouldn't.
