With a couple of new Acuras, somehow....

This was taken in front of a certain dealer with a sign that says, "Lamborghini Parking Only", isn't it? ;)


Didn't see anything today, but I did become the spot for someone else. Saw a guy whip out a phone in my rear view mirror, take a few pictures of my TL and then put it away. I felt so honored. :D
 
From the past week or so...

Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid

This is the first one I've managed to see up close in the wild, which is strange, because I saw two more today. I must not be looking hard enough...

Toyota Venza (Venzia?)

Utterly pointless... And yet I kinda like it too. I can't take the paradox!

Mercedes SL600

They're around. Yes, they even drive them in the snow!

Some kid with a Rozzer Jetta

Caught this a block or so away from my house, I see the car all the time now. Just. Plain. Epic.

Jetta Sportwagen

The first I'd seen (behind the tree), strangely on the first day with big snow.
 
Go to Miller Motorcars often? :sly: Well, I do, too. I'm surprised they're selling modern Ferrari's at that location again, but I haven't been there in a few weeks. I think I could place just about every photo in that post. Greenwich Avenue, West Putnam, East Putnam...all good "sight-seeing".
Yea, I go to Miller every so often. Best part about Greenwich is that you are guaranteed to spot an exotic in the wild... well unless you go on a weekday, then the chances are lower. Like today I didn't see any decent cars on Greenwich Ave. save the typical dull colored Mercedes, BMWs and Jags. :P

Connecticut is amazing sometimes. :D

They're just late to the party. I've already known of an 8C in Florida that's now bound for Atlanta.

Yes. Ferrari of Atlanta is to unveil it on Saturday & I will be there for it. Pix forthcoming.

Stuff recently:

...and one of the more interesting vanity plates in recent memory:

^ LOL @ that plate

Saw a Porsche 997 GT3 this morning at around 6:30 am on the back of a truck.
It was brand spanking new.
Unfortunately I was so mesmerised by it, I forgot to take a pic.

That's the girl.
 
Took the 5 in today (was given a schweet loner :D ). Saw your usual standard of the new M3s (though my first time actually getting up close). Dealer, though, had a customer's Z8 next to someone else's Alpina B7.

Showroom; full of 5's & 3's, as well as few 6's. Interesting car though (besides the owner's 2002 tii & M6 Conv.) was a 3 Series with a Projekt 3 PKG. Mostly cosmetics with 2-4 suspension mods. Was painted exactly like the 1 Series tii concept; white with a black stripe down one side. Sharp looking car, very pricey package though. Was thoughtful of Classic to write off the $16,000 labor costs as well.

Pics to come tonight.
 
Haven't heard of a Projekt 3 PKG. What's the 411 on that? It is like a rolling advert. for BMW Performance Parts?


M
Nope. Apparently, it is something Classic BMW did to a 335i. There really are no performance mods (as mentioned), but from the looks of it, it wouldn't be too hard.

If you're interested, I can probably find out more through Classic tomorrow.
 
Pics would be nice 👍

Rumor says there is going to be a new M-Technic front bumper for the E90 that looks the same as the piece from the Tii Concept and the BMW Performance was going to sell the part. It would go a long way towards curing the droopy lip look of the facelifted cars.

Sorry for the OT....

It has probably broken down...

:dopey:


I saw an S-reg Toyota Prius the other day. Not much of a spot I here you say, but it would be a '99-'00 car when the Prius wasn't imported here until 2001.

I have a photo, but the camera focused on my windscreen...

Maybe they put a different car's plate on to transport it, like if they just bought it.

It'll be an import. Plenty of Japanese imports here with them having their steering wheel on the correct side.

Your all just jelus.

Yep, it had the old stick-on-under-the-bumper fog light.

I was just amazed that someone had went through the hassle of importing a Prius! :dopey:
