Ferrari F355 Spider - Florida plates

Ferrari F430 Spider - Florida plates

Gimme the blue one with the yellow ones engine, please.

 

[bondy_1625]

that metallic blue has gotta be my favourite colour on pretty much any ferrari, either that or that yummy maroon metallic.

I saw something amusing today, no pic cos my camera phone is broken
I walked past it front to back, just a normal new 5 series, no gill vents, and before i got to the back i thought to myself "i wonder if this guy is sad enough to try fob it off as an M5" and sure enough it had an M5 badge i mean seriously, it even had the single passenger side oval exhaust! Oh how i chuckled!

Only 16? I guess they're not as popular there.... I see them once every 2 weeks or so. But I've seen coupes.

I've only ever seen one Phantom though. Mostly Bentleys up here.

I'd check that. Since May 14, 2005, my Viper count is as follows:

Viper Hennessey: 1 (1 time)
Viper GTS: 10 (12 times)
Viper GTS ACR: 2 (5 times)
Viper RT/10: 14 (16 times)
Viper SRT-10: 16 (30 times)

So that's a total of 43 Vipers in two years, four months, and sixteen days - which works out to a unique Viper every ~20.6 days. However, if you added up each time I saw a Viper - not counting purely unique ones, but just each sighting - the total would be 64 sightings, or one sighting every ~13.5 days. That's closer to your 'every two weeks' figure. But, it includes non-unique cars. Record plate numbers - they are not as common as you think.

What's the little red convertible? Looks like an Elan.

 

[Alex.]

Is it an EOS?

 

[Famine]

Is it an EOS?

I agree - I thought it was a Megane or 307 CC, when I realised that French cars and the USA don't seem to overlap on the old Venn Diagram.

 

[Joey D]

Oh what do I know.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

I thought it was a Volvo C70, but it looks a little too short for that.

 

[exigeracer]

Yeh definitely not an Elan though.

 

[TopHat]

Its probably a C70 or a Sebring.

 

[Danny]

I'll bet on C70 also.

 

[bondy_1625]

Wow, that phantom makes the volvo look like a scale model!

Hah, nice. Reminds me of this extremely tall truck (like raised over 10ft) I saw a few months ago.

Nope, i put an 'A' where the 2nd 'O' should be, say it out loud and you'll understand!

Back on topic, i dunno whats going on in my area recently, i havent seen a single decent car worth mentioning here for some time.

Oh...I get it now

and also, bondy:

My freind saw the Ultima you were on about, I am yet to see it. There have been rumours of a RR drop head coupe by the police station!

 

[bondy_1625]

Man its been so long since i missed out on photographing that awesome machine, unsurprisingly i havent seen another since and not even anything close to how cool it was.

I did say the midlands were strangely attracting some really nice cars a while back, now we need some more people who can get there and get the pictures. A pity i no longer travel that way, i enjoyed seeing those ferrari's (360, 430 and 355) , TVR's (sagaris, cerbera), and Porsches (GT3, 70's 911 etc.)

 

[Alex.]

The GT has been seen again, there are aston's all over the place and I just found out I will be going to London on october the 31's, paying visits to harrods and the dorchester hotel!

if you aren't aware of the exotica seen there, here are some pics by other people:

harrods:


Dorchester:
