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

[JCE]

Drove a rare car today.









Didn't feel as fast as I would of thought, but I can't complain. I'm not a big fan of C4 Vettes--I've had one--but this one is rare and a treat. This is the only one I'd have.

==============================

Spots I haven't posted lately.

The area with the red M5 looks familiar. You weren't in Plano, were you?

BTW, since it seems you drive closer to Dallas than I do, keep a look out for that Bugg. for us.

Thanks Zonderf, awesome.

I didn't know Mini Coopers were rare over there...

And guys, shouldn't you be blurring out number plates? Especially if the car's not yours? Here i think it's considered an invasion of privacy/personally identifiable if the number plates are visible. (i'm not pointing at anyone inparticular, but i don't think you should post visible number plates.

Why? Your number plate is in public view all the time, why should it be covered?

I admit I have covered mine in the past but that's personal preference and the fact some people (friends) already have enough info on me

And how!

Why does that still have British 'plates on it?

Why? My car is parked outside my house just now, and people are walking/driving past just looking at it. Should I cover it's numberplate so folk can't read it?

Millions more people will see your numberplate just by driving around in your car than will see it if it's posted on the internet.

Can you, without breaking any law, identify a person (name, address) from their car number/registration/licence plate?

If so, it's personally identifiable data. If not, it isn't. And about the only country I can think of where the answer is "yes" is Switzerland.

Minis are also freaking expensive here and quite rare, I also hapen to see one every two months or so... despite the fact that there is an abandoned one near work, while in front of the office there are two, a white Morris inside a building and this every now and then:

Looking like a MK3 Cooper S, but I doubt that it is. The boot badge looks like it's stuck on (off-center) instead of having pins on the inner side of the badge that sit into pre-drilled holes. Also, I don't think the rear lenses are the correct type, I don't think the white reverse light on the lens was added until later, 1977? (Cooper S production stopped in 1970/71ish). Boot hinges aren't original, number plate light not original, MK3 Coopers was never two tone colour, only the Works MK3 Cooper S's were, the rubber seals around the fuel tanks look different to each other, and the list goes on...

I would say this is a MKIV Mini 1000cc originally (based on the rear lenses and other things).

By the way; What does the sign in the rear window say?

I still have to get pictures of the white and abandoned ones, but in the meanwhile, here it goes.

Would love to see them, do you think you could pm me when you get them?

Cheers. 👍

Well it was only a suggestion, i have seen in some places (one example is on one of the youtube terms of use pages) that tell you not to let your number plate be seen (or at least be careful with that, after reading it again)

I dont think it is either, altough I had not notices what someone mentioned about the license plates, they are indeed UK but I had not noticed it did not have mexican plates or stickers anywhere. Dang, so ilegal, so cool.

It must not be an oiginal S, but come on, it's still a spot, Minis are RARE here.

The sign on the rear windows says it's for sale, hahaha

and yes, will let you know when I get pictures of those, tough it may be a while.

Indeed, and I thank you for posing the images. 👍

Ah, any idea what it says?

Thanks.👍

All this Mini Cooper goodness is awesome 👍!

Also I try to remember to blur out the number plates on cars but sometimes I forget. I see nothing wrong with not I just sort of do it as a courtesy for the owner.

Here are two cars I saw over the past couple of days right in front of my house.

The newer Viper hardtop (fourth gen according to wikipedia).

Mustang Bullitt Edition on Florida plates

Nah.

 

[Alex.]

I don't understand the point of your post.

 

[Prosthetic]

I don't understand the point of your post.

Hes showing off the license plates... Because of the little disagreement above...

In other words Doug is just showing off.

 

[Alex.]

Oh. just made me wonder as we settled that argument yesterday.

 

[CyborgGT]

Yesterday I added two cars to the list of ones I need to track down again and try to get pics of: new GT500 (that makes two in FoCo) and old Challenger or Barracuda (didn't get a good look at it, but I'm leaning towards the latter). Other than that, I just got a couple pics of an old 911t Targa, which I'll post next time I have something else to go along with it.

Regarding the license plate issue, I agree with the 'privacy' thing, whether it really matters or not. That's why I've been covering them up lately. Except the vanity plates; those are meant to be shown.

I saw a Hummer H3 in my neighborhood. You would think the Hummer brand would of died months ago. I also saw a Eagle Vision ESi where I found the chevelle in my neighborhood.

But I only visit the forum every couple days!

Thats such a lie

Saw the Lamborghini Diablo SV Monteray Edition again today at a Caribou coffee, the guy driving didn't look how I would picture a Lambo owner/driver.

 

[YSSMAN]

Holy crap! Is that Rickey Kang?

That was in Flower Mound (Flower Mound Rd & Long Prairie), the 2 racing down the highway as I TRIED () to keep up in my mom's Maxima () were in Big D (you can see the skyline in two of those pics). The noise they make is about as sexy as you can imagine. My poor mom's Maxima, I won't tell you the speed at which I was going. It was a trooper.

Are you sure they were racing, or just doing 30 over the limit like everyone else?
