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

[exigeracer]

You never know. I saw an e46 M3 today driven by a woman. I laughed because she shot out a perfect heel-and-toe downshift as she approached a stoplight. 👍

 

[Joey D]

Very true, there are some females that drive great, but the wanna-be Paris Hilton types don't really inspire to much confidence with me though.

 

[Famine]

I guess it's the week for convertible V12 Aston Martins...

Common as muck Bentley (interesting plate)

Evo 8 with a highly comedy plate...

And one for Joey...​

 

[Joey D]

Hooray! Another Clubman! I really want to see one of these on the road.

M5, what do you do with all those photos besides posting them on GTP?

Post them on Facebook.

Those wheels are pretty horrible.

Look like winter tires to me. Joey the vehicle looks like a 996 911 Carrera with an aftermarket wing.

Gotcha, thanks, guess it wasn't all that exciting then.

This looked like a GT2 but I am guessing it probably isn't since something doesn't quite look right on it and it was driven by what appeared to be an 18 year old female with Ugg's, giant ass sunglasses, fake orange tan, and was coming out of Saks 5th Ave. with 8 bags.

Looks like one of those Aero Packages for owners to replicate the first 996 GT3's. They still offer them on the 911 Carreras today as well.

Yes. Current Lamborghinis have a mechanism that lifts the vehicles for speed bumps. That mechanism is being utilized in that photo. Here's a shot of a Murcielago using it:

That's so cool! I've always wondered how those supercars got over speedbumps. Yeah I never thought of them putting in a mechanism to raise the car for that purpose although now that I think of it, it's an obvious solution. Very cool. 👍

Lol, it's been used since early 90's. Although, 1, I wouldn't drive down the street with it like shown, and 2, they're extremely expensive to replace on the older cars.

 

[Blackbird.]

I'm not suprised they have just I'm stuck in the cheaper lowered cars mentality. Like my dad's car that is low enough to cause some speed bumps to be a problem but not all. So I always wondered how really expensive supercars dealt with that. Well I didn't even think how they dealt with it. I thought how much it sucked for them because I didn't even think they'd have a solution for it.

👍 Looks horrible, and I'm sure it can't drive the same.

If I'm not mistaken either, they should have gone down at a certain speed as well. He must not have been going very fast.

erm....maybe its SMG?

 

[Dougboy]

Car spotting in the Kanadian winter has proved to be quite difficult...even in the right locations. But here is a CL550 with a wannabe plate

 

[Appie]

Why do the Merc have such weird rear lights?

Heh, he's got a point there exigeracer. I'd say you've been very subtly owned.

Although if this girl did blip her manual M3, I want her phone number, and I shall apologise profusely for doubting her skill.

 

[Rykon Zero]

What does SMG stand for?

 

[Joey D]

Sequential manual gearbox.

Thanks.

Wow, that's beyond pathetic. What a toolbag.

 

[Rue]

Maybe it's off his old car?

 

[land sea air]

unless that's a CLK 550 I don't see how a plate that says AMG 55 on it is a problem, could be his age or anything

 

[Dougboy]

55 on it is a problem, could be his age or anything

do you really think thats the case?

 

[land sea air]

I doubt its a case of idiocy, more likely that the plate is from his old car or is more a more personal connection...

 

[ferrari_chris]

Pulled out of work at the end of the day, and this was parked across the street.

Circled around and got off a couple of shots.

I thought the plate on this one was kind of interesting too.

Amazingly, on the way home I saw another one, beige in colour, heading back into town! Two in ten minutes! Not so much of a rarity after all.

 

[1X83Z]

Only spot today:

Florida plates.

 

[Blackbird.]

Not a coupe though.

 

[Gashlycrumb]

My God! Even that Morris 1100 is in mint condition! Hong Kong seems to be the car meca.

I think you are selling New Zealand short



This is a Wolesley version.

 

[Dougboy]

Saw this today while i was on my way to school in a buddy's car. Second B7 ive seen in the wild

 

[Keef]

Now that's cool.

Also, Doug, the dude that drove that thing all the way from Florida must have huge balls. Or lots of antiperspirant.
