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

[exigeracer]

What the green one behind the showroom :ducks for cover: window Serge? Belgium seems to have more classic British cars than Britain itself!

It doesn't even look like a Caterham. Any guesses on what this kit is?

 

[Thirdeye]

Kool, Berger, Classic?

...I'd guess that it was either the black or the green one? The guy with the green one lives down the street from my father's house, I see the black one at Macy's once in a while...

Sorry for the late reply, it was at Lemmen Grand Chevrolet, on the drive leading to (and past) the dealership from the main road. It was a dark color, either a dark green or black.

All quiet on the DYSAGT front, so I thought I would post some from last week. On a Japanese theme...

That Legacy is a Corazon Widebody Legacy. Nice spot 👍

The Corazon brand line is made by Calma, which is actually based down in the other end of Japan, in the warm upper regions of Fukuoka. Which doesn't say a lot to the geographically challenged, I'm sure. It's down South. However, the majority of Subaru sales are at the cooler, snow-enabled end of Japan. As this includes Tokyo, Calma has invested a bit of effort to have an operating center in Tokyo, spending most of their time cozying up to the fire with the rest of us. What Calma makes is body parts, high quality ones at that. President Nogami Masahiko extended a personal invitation to look at their latest project, a wide-body kit for the Legacy sedan and wagon.

It's not really a proper wide-body kit, per se, as it's mainly large flares that go on the fenders. It looks better than it sounds though, especially in person. While you will accept a lot for the sake of looking different, the Corazon brand earned their position within the Subaru dealers by making sure it's all top quality from back to front. Bumpers, fenders, side sills are all reworked for a complete look. And if you want to further liven things up, they have a white leather treatment for the interior as well, along with some chrome trimming on the console. It does change the character of the car, giving it a bit more presence on the road. It also avoids that over the top appearance that most boy-racer big-wing kits seem to strive towards. Instead it looks much like a regular manufacturer car.

There is more than just looks, however. Corazon offers a full set of suspension bracing systems underneath the car to further enhance the driving experience. These are all designed to make the already impressively solid structure of the Legacy even more vault-like. This helps improve the job of the suspension system, which they also touch upon with a 20-stage adjustable damper and adjustable height coilover system as well.

Wow I really did not notice them at all.

Anytime, I love how in Japan you get so many options for modifying your car straight from the dealer's floor.

That last Toyota you posted looks like a bad cut and shut job on a W210 E-Class Mercedes

I see the AE86 is fitted with the rare Britney Spears babyseat option


And there's a Toyota HiAce van behind the Civic Type R in case people didn't notice.

There was a red Ferrari 360 Modena in front of the 911 behind the Chaser too

The last one is a Toyota Progres I remember.

I love the supermini and those Daihatsu's!

joey look a blazer!

Toyota Trueno

At first glance, it looked like the mom was letting her kid drive.

 

[Keef]

As a matter of fact, they'd be getting pulled over about now in the States.

 

[Serge.D]

Carrera 4.


Alfa GT.


300C break.

 

[land sea air]

300C break.

I think the term is shooting brake

nice spot on the 964

 

[opendriver]

How do you know? Where you in it?

Sorry, let me re-phrase that:

the person who was driving it was going slow

But 216hp and 0-60 in about 6.5 seconds, thats not THAT bad

 

[Joey D]

joey look a blazer!

I wasn't aware you guys got the 1st gen in the UK.

 

[TopHat]

That's more up Toronado's alley.

They probably didn't get it there. It's not hard to import them.

 

[Keef]

Gosh, I bet people hate the guy that drives that. How much you wanna bet he's got a big ol' straight pipe on it and wears a cowboy hat?

 

[Joey D]

That's more up Toronado's alley.

They probably didn't get it there. It's not hard to import them.

There were 98+ 2nd gens running around London as taxis, but I never saw a 1st gen. Why would one import a Blazer? The people of the United Kingdom get better off road vehicles than that.

Nah, he's got a cop detector.

I can just see the guy's wife saying "where'd the back seat go honey? And what is this cage for?"

Well I had an absolutely wonderful spot today, but no pictures to speak for it. It would have been hard, as I only spotted the car as I was getting close to it while driving and the driver was waiting to pull into traffic to go the other way.

The car was a Ferrari F355 Spider in Rosso Corsa with a black top. It is the first Ferrari I have seen on the road and what a wonderful first car to see. I really wish I could have followed it and gotten a couple pictures of it; but alas, I was on my way to a basketball game and was barely going to make it on time for tipoff.

It is a great feeling having finally seen my first Ferrari on the road, especially having seen Bentleys, Rolls Royces, Porsches, Maseratis, and Lamborghinis. It was an exciting spot and I hope to see the car again, or any Ferrari for that matter. Ferrari is on top of the car world and it just does not get any better.

What is this 300C estate thing? We have them in Michigan but I always thought it was a conversion.

Congratulations!! I know you had been looking for this one for some time!!! 👍

We get the Chrysler 300C Touring standard here in New Zealand

Introducing the all-new Chrysler 300C Touring.

From the front, the Chrysler 300C will not be mistaken for any other automobile on the road. The 300C wears the most elegant execution of the Chrysler ‘face’ yet – the grille is tall and bold, inspired by the memorable V10-powered Chrysler

Chronos concept car that made its debut in 1998 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

The newly rendered Chrysler wings flow seamlessly into the grille header and contain the gold seal of the brand, providing a proud and instantly recognisable design cue.
