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

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

I saw a Bentley Flying Spur today and couldn't bring myself to photograph it, why are these things so common now? Aren't Bentley's supposed to be expensive cars and isn't the Detroit area supposed to be in a recession? I mean are these cars that ordinary that you would drive them on a snowy, Michigan day?

I saw one a couple of days ago on the highway, when I was riding on the train. It was a pretty meh moment. It was probably because of Doug's Continental photos. I would get more excited about a Corvette.

Is that a rare colour for the Evo IV? I've see countles IV's in my time, but never in that blue. With the 2-Eleven and the blue AMV8, that's two actual cars that I've seen as well as two of you guys in a couple of days.

The Icecelle Blue is quite a rare colour on the Evo IV yes. It was deleted as an option for the Evo V and reintroduced for the Evo VI.

First photo's I made of a Z3M coupe.

That's not an M coupe. The M has quad exhausts, just like every M, and outrageously huge rear fender flares. This is simply a poor guy that wants to be rich really bad, so he put an M badge on it and took the 1.8 badge off. Damn nice BBS rims thought. Those are fantastic!

I've seen my first (new) Mazda6 on the road. It's not really worth a mention (Serge.D, here I come! ), but I found it effin' hot.

But isnt the non M version Rarer? I swear I heard something like that.

 

[Keef]

I've actually never seen a standard coupe, so they may be rarer, or at least less desirable. I've noticed that the coupes in general are more popular in Europe than over here in the states because most Americans aren't weren't fans of hatchbacks when that car was for sale. Either way, I think they're badass. I just like making fun of people with more money than me, that's all. Like, I got the Si, why can't you get the M?

I don't think they sold the non-M Coupe stateside.

Gashlycrumb - That's no El Camino. It's a Ford Torino... pickup. I'm not sure what FoMoCo called it, but it's got the front end of a Torino.

 

[Rue]

Chevrolet El Camino

Union Jack? SORT1D? I wonder if by any chance this fella's a bit of a cockney geezer living in NZ.

If a Civic is ever posted in this thread again, bad things will occur.

I can never resist a challenge like that...

3 new shape Civic Typewriters inside 24 hours in a 10 mile radius. I haven't actually seen one before...

I'm starting to think that the CTR is a logical evolution of the CRX of old. Too bad it weighs so much.

Yah it's called a Ford Torino Ranchero or simply a Ford Ranchero.

I don't think they sold the non-M Coupe stateside.

It was. They just follow the current pattern of Z4/M Coupes in that the Ms are way more common. I don't know how many M Coupes I've seen in ratio to Z4 Coupes.

 

[Serge.D]

no its not cause it isnt a Z3M coupe

I saw the M badge on the back and on the left and right side of the car,thats
why I thought it was an M coupe.


Carrera 4S.

It used to be. Now it's just a big fat Civic. Still a nice performance car (The Japanese and American versions, that is) but it's just not what it used to be.

Whoops! thanks I was thrown off by the badge on the front which looks a lot like the one on the Bel Air

New Zealand is quite a popular retirement destination for diamond geezers from London. My Grandfather is one so I can't talk


Alfa Romeo Spider



Anyone know what this is?

 

[Rykon Zero]

Ford Mondeo, Duh!

Also this:

Taken near Tuskeegee, North Carolina, and rapidly becoming one of my favorite photos.

 

[Rue]

Ha! Great photo there, Doug. Talk about unlucky!

 

[MagpieRacer]

Times I wish I had a camera, just had a Lamborghini Gallardo parked outside, but it looked like a special one, had a CF roof and spoiler, it was white, might be a SE but not sure.

 

[Diego440]

hah! There's one of them Mercedes 190E 2.3-16 parked outside my office... and I don't have the camera!

Did it look like this?

 

[Alex.]

Probably a superlagerra 👍

Right, it's about time I actually contributed to this thread for once!
I saw these some time ago but I dont think I ever got round to posting them
Sorry for the bad photos

 

[McLaren]

Probably a superlagerra 👍

Except there's only 1 white Superleggera in existance, and it's located in Southern California at Lamborghini of Calabases.

 

[Rue]

Shame the photos couldn't have been bigger and clearer but all very nice cars, Alex. Personally, I am yet to see the new M3. Like the yellow Testarossa, never seen a real one in yellow before! And that 308 GTB is the quintessential Pininfarina Ferrari design if you ask me.

Yeah it did.
