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

[McLaren]

Awesome ZR1 spot. Personally, I would have followed it.

Doug, I just learned that Alfa will be selling their cars at Mini dealerships in the US; that's why Ferrari of Denver won't be getting them.

If that's the case, I guess I shouldn't count on seeing any Alfa Romeos here, then. The closest Mini dealership is incredibly small, and belongs to BMW Dallas on their lot.

I'll ask Boardwalk if they have any plans to receive some, though.

 

[Turbo Lag]

ooh and Continental GT behind. 👍

 

[-Fred-]

Actually a Pony in apparently good condition must be at least on the level of a 959 or f40 surely...

15-20 years from now they'll be selling them off at classic car auctions for 200k or more!

No, wait...

All Mini dealerships are small, I've never seen a large one before. I mean they only need a couple cars on the lot so you order them. And yes my dealer has mentioned that they should be selling Alfa's, although they still don't know the time frame yet.

Some pictures I took at a recent visit to Scotland.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Just a few, heh?

I recognize that 348 with the 360 wheels, though. Car's a bit well known on FChat.

I think the 348 looks absolutely stunning with those wheels 👍

 

[bondy_1625]

Actually there are two conti GT's and a Flying spur in the background of that photo, and even though i dont see them often i still think they're very meh...

I think the 348 looks absolutely stunning with those wheels 👍

And on the other side of things, i think this 360 looks nasty with those 355 wheels

Not to mentioned the picture on the bus at the background.

Great spot on the ZR1 Joey D and also great (and unique) shots as well Cano. 👍

 

[Serge.D]

You get stangs we get Ka's and Fiestas.

I like those old Mustangs.

Haha, my mum used to have a hyundai pony, in red, when she got her astra she had to literally pay to get someone to take it off her hands!

A Brother in law used to have one in black and one in beige/gold.


XK8 cabrio.


Rover break.
I didn't know that Rover had breaks.

I like the kid on the bus in the background

So yeah anyway time for some pictures from me from the other day. Went to the local Dodge / Nissan / Cadillac dealer after grabbing a new phone (Voyager!) and saw some pretty awesome cars.

Challenger! Pretty cool I guess, I'd take one with painted stripes though, not carbon fiber vynils.

Back.

'09 Nissan Maxima, interior on this thing looks stunning and I think the headlights look like the 370Z Concept.

Tailights look like a Civic coupe or an Accord or something...

And they just couldn't take the cover off this for a quick peek...

 

[CyborgGT]

Is that the new ACR?

 

[CDailey]

Looks like it.


The new Maxima looks schweet. 👍

 

[samj_13]

Is that the new ACR?

Oh yeah. Apparently it's all black too, I swear they were toying with me just because they wouldn't take the cover off.

The new Maxima looks schweet. 👍

First time I've seen a car for sale before the Big 3 magazines released their tests

Motor Trend tested it.

Those are actually stock 360 rims. They were an option known as 18" Modular wheels.

All Mini dealerships are small, I've never seen a large one before. I mean they only need a couple cars on the lot so you order them. And yes my dealer has mentioned that they should be selling Alfa's, although they still don't know the time frame yet.

Is your's as small as this?

The little red box is the Mini dealer. And we have a ton of them on the lots. You can see out front, behind, and to the side. But, the reason I don't expect any Alfas though this dealer is because the rest of that lot is BMW Dallas.

 

[Joey D]

Mine's actually smaller, but it's attached to the side of a BMW dealership. The ones out back are probably either a.) used b.) customer cars or c.) that photo was taken prior to the huge boom with people wanting the cars. With them being as popular as they are I can't imagine them sitting on the lot, unless they just don't sell in Texas. I think Motor City Mini maybe has two one the lot for sale and the rest are demo cars, customer's cars, or used vehicles.

Is the Dallas one next to a BMW dealership?

Anyways here is mine, I can't imagine them selling Alfa's out of it but you never know.

 

[McLaren]

Yes, that building connected to it & the building below it (service shop) belong to BMW Dallas. All the cars to the side of the dealer (in the double row parking lot) are all new with a few used Minis with all kinds of different combinations. I have no idea how well or how many they sale on a monthly basis.

 

[stumpydino]

those places look huge to me, even the mini bit lol

Rover break.
I didn't know that Rover had breaks.

theyv only done a few over the years...tho i think iv seen more 75 Tourers than saloons great in V8 form

 

[CyborgGT]

XLR

Saleen S281

SL500

7-Series

SLK230 "Sport"

4th- and 5th-gen Mustangs (I'm going to try to find as many variations of every generation as I can...)


I also spotted my first 997 Turbo and two 996 Carreras (one coupe and one cabriolet), but I couldn't get pics.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Saleen S281

Wow, I've never seen this kind of Mustang before. I find it absolutely staggering, do I need to get my eyes checked now?

 

[McLaren]

Nope. I quite like that generation as well when Saleen were done with them.
My favorites were the ones from the last years of that generation; Coupe in a Candy Apple-like red, & the convertibles in this white w/ white wheels style.

 

[Brett]

A whole bunch of more nice spots! Great job everyone! 👍

 

[1X83Z]

+1 Disagree on red but love the white convertibles from that gen with the white wheels. I remember seeing them when I was growing up and really getting into cars and knowing they were more special than just the regular Mustang. Cool cars.

 

[-Fred-]

I'd love me a yellow/yellow one for some reason... Just as long as it doesn't have the big ugly double wing on the back.

 

[stumpydino]

lets seee a GT90, bugatti chiron, 3 veyrons, caparo T1, tommy ivos showboat...etc etc the festival was a good haul

the car park wasnt too interesting however, even in the members bit we parked in
did see these on the way out tho, reasonable spots

69 911T and some Aston thing, the porsche sounded nice

 

[mustangGT90210]

I'm gonna guess the Aston is a V12 Vantage. Look at the plate:idea:

 

[McLaren]

It's a Vanquish.

 

[Speedster502]

69 911T and some Aston thing, the porsche sounded nice

Thing?! Thing?!! Are you joking with me? It's a Vanquish!! Are you sure the nice sound wasn't from the Aston rather than the Porker?



Also some spots from last weekend, pretty naff but still.

Jaguar XJS

Lotus Elise (111R?)

 

[Bram Turismo]

Oh dear, for a second I thought that Elise was ghost-driving!

 

[stumpydino]

Thing?! Thing?!! Are you joking with me? It's a Vanquish!! Are you sure the nice sound wasn't from the Aston rather than the Porker?

the aston was quiet, comparatively even more so with the porsche around
