2 minutes, 2 identical Phantoms. My friends standing behind the second one. Guy on the right is 6'2" - these cars are MASSIVE! The second one also appeared to be covered in scratches for some reason.

Dude. Dealer photos are not considered a 'spot' in this thread unless the car is insanely rare. However your spots are getting better (as in faster and rarer cars), so keep trying
Jaguar XKR.

Yeah, you have a good point there. If this thread is about the dealer thread, then there would be no fun in taking photo of cars anymore. The one Doug did with the Bugatti Veyron and the Maserati MC12 was just plain awesome!
👍 It keeps everyone inspired to take more shots like those. If i was just taking photos of dealer cars, you wouldn't be surprised if i had photos of Lamborghinis, Porsches, Ferraris, Maseratis, etc.

Who cares anymore? At least he's posting pictures that appear to belong to customers excluding the Alfa Romeo. Hell, maybe he doesn't get to see cars like a Lamborghini every so often, so maybe he takes pride in seeing something like a $100,000 XKR even if it is at a dealer.

I think the first one may be another long wheelbase version (Doug?!) If so that'd be the third LWB Phantom I have photographed.
Saw this Alpine last year when back in UK. Just stumbled across the photo last night...

We have less than five Lamborghinis and 10 Ferraris in the whole country. Seeing a Porsche is tough, nevermind a Rolls or Bentley.
But I don't go to that just-opened Roller dealer and photograph those. Or that fashion-shop with the Lotus in front.
(Actually, I do, but I don't post them here)

Thank you McLaren.👍
Ford Capri?
Jaguar.
Hell yes! I love MKI Capri's very nice spot, they seem to be getting rarer and rarer, ive only seen 1 and that was at a car show too!
I think thats a Jaguar MKII, not too sure.
If you've got a DSLR a Circular/Linear Polarizer would be the best way to eliminate unwanted reflections, you might even be able to get them for some compact cameras.

I caught a yellow 1973/4 one on the road the other week. I'll have to see if I can dig the photos out...

1) Serge is not the only who's done that. How about the fellow who was posting pictures of that SLR & Maybach and was working for some company?
And 2) You have absolutely NO right to say anything as we see you constantly posting pictures from the race track in here.
Hmm, apparently I read that wrong. I apologize for the outburst. However, if a dealership is not allowed, track meeting or car club should not either as you are going to those expecting to see the same thing you'd expect at the dealer. Such an awful rule, and I'm not amazed anyone doesn't follow it.

I don't know what it is about the Karmann Ghia, but I really really want one.
👍 I would have had one for my first car if it weren't for the prices

i have no idea whats gonna turn up at the track,for example at the weekend i was at an SIDC trackday which stands for Subaru Impreza Drivers Club so you would expect impreza's......there was around 40 cars on track and only 3 were impreza's... so i dont know whats going to turn up.

Ah, so it is a contest now? What difference does it make? Has this turned into the Scavenger Hunt thread?

That's not the point. You go to a race track expecting to see nice cars just like you go to a Ferrari dealership expecting to see Ferrari's. It doesn't matter what day it is at the track, point is, you're still going just to see nice cars. Only difference is, the track is allowing the cars to be moving while dealer keeps them stationary.
So, if a dealership can not be allowed, neither should "Whatever Manufacturer" Days/Meets because you're going there specifically to see the same cars you'd see at the dealer's lot. Again, it's an awful rule, and I don't think anyone should actually be trying to make it work.
The rule also has plenty of holes in it since many owner's meets or concours are SPONSORED by the local dealers. The only problem in this is whether or not the poster chooses to say so. It's part of the reason why I didn't post every photo I had of the 2007 Concorso @ MSR. It was a track day, yet it was sponsored by Lamborghini of Dallas who is in affiliation with Lamborghini. If it was sponsored by Big Red's Used Sports Cars, that could be a different story. But the rule has too many holes in it that can easily be bypassed.
