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

[Gashlycrumb]

I saw this Bentley Azure Convertable today. It looked quite large against the MGB. Sorry about the blurring it was taken through the back window.

Besides the cars, one thing I noticed is how nice that town is.

Good spot! Rare cars in any generation.

It seems you guys see rare cars like Ferraris and Porsches every day. Especially M5Power. I have NEVER seen anything better than a Skyline R34.

The most important thing is being in a location where you've got a chance to see exotics on a regular basis. Beyond that, it's about so much more than luck - it takes a lot of dedication just hoping for the eventual payoff. But it's worth it...

That's the last six months only, for the record - and hours upon hours of searching.

Hey Doug, got a tip on a car you might like to see. As of this month, there is a yellow Spyker C8 Spyder in Atlanta. Might want to keep an eye out for when you head back.

Privately registered? Motorcars Georgia has one in their showroom - can't recall the color.

EDIT: it's black. What the hell do these things cost?

For now, it was just delivered to a dealer, but there are a lot of offers.
I believe the C8 is valued at $257,000, & can raise to $325,000. The C12 is valued at $600,000+.

Local offers? I'll keep my eyes peeled but I'm not too expectant.

New XKR. I think it looks great, better than the Aston.

 

[Blackbird.]

I think the car on the right needs to pick a lane.

I saw him. He was wearing the exact same shirt too. I couldn't snap a picture but I promise. Last Monday.

Today at 1am in the airport, upon returning to my car, this was parked two rows away:

Well I can honestly say I would not pay that kind of money for a Civic considering the VW dealer down the street had an R32 for $35,000 with some options on it.

You'd pay 35k for a Golf, seriously? It's just as ridiculous as the Mugen Si in my opinion. Sure it's got 250hp and 4wd and leather everything, but in the end it's still just a Golf... that weighs 3700lbs, too.

35k gets you a crapload of way better cars than an R32...

Haha you've seen one too I once saw one of them, except convertible with the best colour options available (IMO) It was like a beige-ish colour with same interior. It looked stunning, it really did. There was some guy on a racing bike, trying to keep up and about 60km/h and he didnt stand a chance

As far as small performance cars go I would buy the R32. If I was looking at a broader range of cars then no I wouldn't buy the R32 because as you said there are better cars out there...like the G35 or, hell, a 3-series.

So you've finally found that elusive Coupe, or am I missing something?

 

[TheCracker]

I think you'll find that's an RT/10 with a removable hard top rather than a Coupe.

I knew there was a problem when Doug didn't announce "At last, the SRT-10 Coupe!"

 

[1X83Z]

So you've finally found that elusive Coupe, or am I missing something?

Nah - for one, the coupe is the new style Viper only - so even if I had seen a coupe on the photographed style ('92-'02), it wouldn't be the one I was looking for. And, furthermore, than model is actually a convertible - it just has a removable hardtop on it.

I've seen twelve '92-'02 Viper coupes (called the Viper GTS). The problem is the damn new version!

Yeah, I'll spot a Countach before you spot the new Coupe.

R32 Golf
Another 599 (I really like it in Rosso Corsa - cheesy number plate though. Supercar owners don't have any choice but to park i ntight spaces i nHong Kong. Watch that door!)
Phantom - not a short car! (Look at man at rear for comparison)

CLK DTM wannabe
997 Turbo
R8 in dealer
Nissan Gloria

Merc and Ssangyong (Imitation is the highest form of flattery)
Toyota Verossa
Toyota Mark-X
Another Phantom

The Devil's Evo 5
Arty Nissan Elgrand shot
Rolls Corniche convertible

The other day I said that I'd be interested to see how many S-Class Mercedes I could photograph from one spot in one hour. Well, I did it today and gave up after 20 minutes as it became a bit of a chore! Take a deep breath...

Just noticed a Lexus sneaked in there - sorry my eyes were tired from cropping the photos!)

That's 90 S-Classes in 22 minutes! Or just over 4 S-Classes a minute. Not mentioning the ones that were going in the other direction or the ones that I missed because there were so many at one time. Isn't that number quite ridiculous?

 

[exigeracer]

I was in Boston, MA a few years ago and I had the same impression. I don't know if it compares in numbers, but it certainly felt like every second car was a Mercedes.

 

[Metar]

That R8 picture... is... Awesome.

 

[Serge.D]

I saw the same model in black driving away from the parking,but I
whas to late to take a photo.

 

[Metar]

Alpina 3-series based Turbo, shot at work. You can see the McDonalds sign oh-so-vaguely over the roof, where the white reflection leads to.

That would even outdo me in Mercedes-loving Atlanta. Good spots - the Phantom is a long-wheelbase model, which accounts for its enormity.

Thanks! There are another couple. They were taken through a showroom windown obviously, so it doesn't count as a good spot.

Here's a biger one of the original pic for you...

 

[Sting]

No offence to you chaser_fan, but I would love to know why Metar thinks that is such an awesome pic. More window reflection is noticed than the car. lol
