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

[Serge.D]

Renault Vel Satis - about a thousand of these were RHD, sold in the UK between 2001 and 2005. Quite a rare, and unjustifiably unloved, car.


Renault VelSatis and Megane cabrio.

Meh, been there, done that, got the photo.


Now you know why i rarely post photos here, because seeing that has severely affected my judgement on rare cars

I cant wait to go back to Puerto Banus in February, hoping to bring you some damn fine cars again

I'm excited, but I doubt I'll ever see one in the States. It's only one state away though and I have a history of seeing some pretty cool exotics from the Grand Canyon State...

 

[stumpydino]

theres a renault avantime around near somewhere..seen a few times..i didnt know they even went into production also i learn somewhere near a company uses 9 of em as company cars too tho iv never seen one of those.
and i swear i saw a bmw Z1 in london today, was off the road tho and on a platform under a sign (its on old street near shoreditch for anyone interested) saw a nice db7 convertible too, and the usual bunch of pricy luxury cars in the city blahblah, but did see a clean bentley corniche tho

Should be titled 2nd. Caesar's Palace has had 1 for sale for months. I wouldn't doubt this 2nd one finds its way back many months down the road.

 

[Keef]

That's the car they're talking about in the link...

It's been delivered to an owner. The article says the car was driven at a road course near Las Vegas Motor Speedway over a year ago.

Two spots from last week that I never got around to posting:

Thats a BMW Service vehicle. I've never seen one on the road before, thought it was very odd indeed!

A very, very, very early Volvo 240?

 

[Joey D]

Wow you guys got hammered with ice.

And BMW service vehicles? I think I've seen one on the road, but if my Cooper ever breaks down (I hope it won't) I'll see another.

 

[YSSMAN]

That was last Sunday I believe. But its been icy this week too!

Gotta love those Truck Nutz!

 

[Perfect Balance]

What a stupid place to put some mud flaps. And they look like he stole them off a semi.

Is that what they're called? I've never seen them before.

 

[land sea air]

Is that what they're called? I've never seen them before.

I see them far too often, and agreed about the mud flaps, are those even blocking the full width of the tires?

 

[Thiele]

I saw an old Green Chevrolet and a white R33 Skyline in Kadina today. I don't have any photos but they're both there reguarly. I think they're local.

How come you have a picture of Hong Kong in your avatar, Alex?

 

[Syxx_Killer]

Truck Nutz! haha! I saw them on the back of a Jeep once. One thing I've always wondered, though, is if they get stolen what would you tell the cops? "Officer, I had my Nutz ripped off!"

 

[buickgnx88]

What a stupid place to put some mud flaps. And they look like he stole them off a semi.

Well considering the truck is lifted and those wimpy ones near the wheel wells won't help whatsoever, those larger mudflaps would help quite a bit. Plus they are attached to the hitch, which are usually the kind you would use while towing a trailer, or in this case perfect for a lifted truck.

From what i've seen it looks beautiful, and and night increased tenfold. I'd love to visit there one day.

 

[Serge.D]

Can someone tell me what car that is and if it's a good spot or not.

Thank you.

[Joey D]

It's an Opel Speedster or a Saturn Sky (what it's called in the US)

 

[Metar]

I thought Skys are based on the Solstice and are front-engined?

But it's a Speedster/VX220?

 

[Muzaffar]

Or a Opel GT Nice spot anyways. 👍

I thought Skys are based on the Solstice and are front-engined?

But it's a Speedster/VX220 for sure.

No way. A Speedster and the GT looks totally different. It is a FR layout. The rear looks too small to fit an engine. Here is a conparison:

Saturn Sky/ Opel GT

Opel Speedster/Vaxhall VX220

Basically the Opel GT is supposed to replace the Opel Speedster....(well i think so....)

 

[Joey D]

Oh I thoughts that what you guys called it. Me = Fail

 

[Bram Turismo]

What a stupid place to put some mud flaps.

The car was a fail anyhow

 

[Metar]

I wasn't aware the Opel GT looked that close to the VX220 from behind.

 

[moaibob]

for what i know, the VX is a Vauxhall. Vauxhall is the british brand for Opel. it is basically the same speedster sold with two different brands.

I suppose that the same is for the GT. A thing i didn't know is that Saturn is basically the same car too.

 

[Diego440]

Speedster*

 

[Joey D]

I suppose that the same is for the GT. A thing i didn't know is that Saturn is basically the same car too.

I think there is a Daewoo version of it too .
