Bondy will be happy with me seeing this 
In my village of Woodford Halse, home to, well not many.
couldnt resist the Ayrton Senna suspension shot:

Nice one GV, (you jammy git) ive only ever seen one NSX on the roads and, it too, was red.
Does it say 'ONE LIFE LIVE IT' on the side of that discovery? What the hell is that all about?

The past two days have been frustrating. I've seen far more than are posted in this message, but it's all been going opposite me in traffic. No chance for a photo. Anyway:
Chevrolet Bel Air
Don't know year, but the blue was beautiful.
Chevrolet Blazer
Not sure why it's got no roof, but it looked cool. Was that even a factory option back then?
Lexus IS300 Sportcross
Still awkward after all these years.
Mercury Marauder
It's a shame Ford didn't push this car more. They could have had thousands of these on the road with the police rather than the Charger. From what I hear, it was actually a pretty good car, too. Oh, and fuzzy == the suck.
Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG
Almost filler, I guess. Almost.
Aston Martin DB9 Volante
Simply beautiful. Too bad it's stuck in traffic in a failing town.
Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera
Two, actually, but they're both at a dealer. I guess it's just here for the pretty pre-fall colors. And the fact that they're Lamborghini's.
Nissan 350Z Nismo
This is one that almost escaped me. I saw it miles away going opposite me, where it took me totally by surprise. Hours later (and about 1:30 ago, actually) it showed up on the highway. The first photo has the flash (
), the second is just low light. But trust me, it's there.
Porsche Carrera GT
This is another car that magically re-appeared for me. Both times it was going opposite, but this time it was at a traffic light. He was crawling at 5 MPH, I was at a full stop, whipped out the camera and got it. The photo isn't actually that bad, all things considered. My best find in weeks...months, even. Forgot how wonderfully loud these are.
You may not notice much of my STI in the coming months. That's because I drive a Civic most of the time now. New purchase, used car, it gets to rack up the miles rather than the Impreza. Plus it's much more subtle: 2003 sedan, silver. You just can't get more generic than that. Well, maybe an 80's Dodge Aries, but who could live with that?

A few loose ends from the past week or so:
The best American car, EVAH?
(1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Coupe)
(Dodge Shelby Daytona Turbo Coupe. At my VW dealer. Odd.)
(The second C30 here in Grand Rapids. The first was down in the service bay getting ready for delivery.)
(My first new TT I've photoed, actually had kids riding in the back seat)
Sweet.

The wheels aren't stock. But beautiful nonetheless! 👍 (The 427)

They appear to be Crager SS rims though which are fine since many old cars have them.

I like the original wheels that came with the stingray more though. At least they're not horrible, yeah.

They're not a bad substitute but stock is always better, IMO.
EDIT: Well that's kind of vague, the majority of classic cars looks best stock.

Volvo S60 D5R would seem to.
The black panel around the number plate on the 5-series suggests it's an M5 tuned by AC Schnitzer. Someone with access to one of those websites where you can type in a number plate and get the make and model could solve the issue.

The Volvo is actually a S60 SE D (185 E4) - the chancer!

I almost cropped it, but thought better.
I'm always wrong.
[EDIT] The important part however, was that I was queueing for Foo Fighters concert tickets
