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

It's the Dodge Magnum - except in Europe they call it the 300C Estate because they don't want to confuse the Europeans by naming it differently from the sedan.

My spots yesterday:

Hummer H1

Ferrari 328 GTS

Porsche 911 [997] ... with ski racks! Only in Colorado. And yes, it's a Carrera 4. :D
 
Serge, Firstly I dont think thats an M5, it doesnt have the vent above the wheelarch, and I dont THINK it has the mirrors. Holdenhsvgtsr will be able to tell for sure.

Secondly, We all appreciate your continued effort toward the well being of this thread, but I think we've seen enough BMW Z's (Unless M Editions) for now :)

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

I have been looking one for what seems like a very, very long time. It is nice to finally have seen one and a long overdue spotting. I am still pretty excited about the spot and hope to see another Ferrari sometime in the near future. The only thing I wish that could have been done differently is the chance to actually take a couple pictures of the car, but that is really beside the point.

On that note, I had another good spotting today. While I was driving to Pizza Hut for lunch, which no longer exists where I thought it did :grumpy:, a red Lotus Elise was traveling in the other direction and I watched where it stopped at while I drove by. Since I was no longer going to Pizza Hut, I decided to go see if the Elise was still parked. Sure enough it was; but as soon as I pulled into that parking lot, the driver decided to go somewhere else. I tried to follow it, but was not quick enough to do so because of traffic and decided to just go get some lunch instead. I tried my darnedest to get a picture of the thing, but failed miserably.

The Elise was just the second I have seen on the road, the first I have spotted in Oklahoma, and only the third total I have seen (one being on a trip back from Dallas on I-35 and the other at a dealership in St. Louis).

WTF, you've posted that before, or at least one nearly identical. Why is that car dirty and parked in front of that building during winter again?

Lemme guess, there just happened to be a Ford E-series parked behind it...

I believe the building's developer owns the vehicle. Different sighting this time.
 
I saw a Bentley Flying Spur, (Think that's what it's called. It's the 4 door version of the Continental GT) But I was too ****ing slow to get the ****ing camera to take the ****ing picture of the ****ing car! :grumpy:

Don't worry - we've all seen dozens.
 
Glad someone else noticed that too. 👍 I <3 chasers just as much as chaser_fan.

You weren't the only ones to notice it, and also my favourite car in Kaido Battle 2. Ooh, I may even hook up the old PS2 for a bit of nostalgia.

Humber Hawk parked ouside my house this morning...

Half the cars produced in America looked like that during the 50s. In fact, the only cars I can think of that didn't were Studebakers.

Funny thing, ha ha:

Took that a few days back, same generation 911, same Carrera 4.

Roush-spec F-150. Meh.
 
Bloody Hell!

When did they ever sell the Beretta in Europe? Thats absolutely CRAZY!
 
I'm still waiting for an R8 with them as well... That or a bike-rack over the rear...
 
Maybe you'll catch a Gallardo with them next....:P

:lol: Only in California (and Mexico!). Have you ever seen that shot of the F40 with a bike rack?

Yesterday:

rs4_cabriolet-010908.jpg


Only 300 of these RS4 Cabriolets will be sold in the U.S., making them rarer than the Porsche Carrera GT.

Spot of the day... I've posted this black 328 GTS a few times now, but it was more remarkable today, as this is the first time I've ever seen an exotic car out in falling snow:

Savor it as I'm sure that's the only snow/Ferrari spot in this thread. It was very cool to see. The 328 left before the snow could accumulate.
 
You'd think the Elise would be a bit more common, even in your area. I see them quite often. By the way, check this out:

Short and mostly Tulsa-based, but you might be interested anyway. Congrats on the 355 spot again. :D

I think the problem with there not being a lot of Elises is the lack of a Lotus dealership no closer than Dallas.

Looked over the thread you posted a link to and the man with Murcielago LP640 is the owner of the car I spotted and posted pictures of in this thread. He also owns a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, which I have also spotted in Norman, and is now up for sale. That car has been replaced by a 722 and I hope to spot it. I have also seen another of his cars, that being a dark blue Bentley Continental GT. I wonder what color his Gallardo Spyder is, as I may have seen it also (I am guessing that he is likely the owner of the car I spotted). Its amazing that one man and his wife have such an extensive collection of exotic cars and drive them almost daily.

Looks like I may have to become a member of FChat at some point.

I had yet another good spot today and managed to get pictures of it. This was spotted while I went to lunch. First one I have seen and think it is a pretty good looking car.

Much like usual, I could match, but unfortunately I wasn't able to capture the photo of the 308 Quattrovalve I saw a few weeks back as our first big snow came down. Interestingly enough, it was black too... And when it was coming towards me, I had a helluva time figuring out what it was (the sun, snow, and dirty windshield made me think it was a Fiero at first).

Oh, and a NISMO Z?

Thats pretty cool, I haven't seen one before. They're expensive I hear...
