What model of the Lotus is this? I thought it was a KIT car

I saw a Lifted Van but I was too busy to take a picture of it.
 
Yea Melbourne is pretty good for cars.
Whenever we go over there we always stay on the lookout for nice cars :D

Melbourne's city streets are fairly good (Brighton being an obvious standout among Toorak and Kew's 35-or-so registered RR's), but coastal QLD definitely tops the list. 👍


And I thought our 7.3l Crew Cab F-250 XLT was huge.
 
Isn't there some football player with one of those?

And that is not a sweet truck. NOW. The Ford E-350 with 600 or so horsepower that my brother owns. Ahat is sweet. Along with my dads F-350 with something equal to that. They are both sweet.

Custom F-650? Fail. Waste of money and waste of space. Its a fleet vehicle they should not be driven like they're some sort of luxury car.
 
Your brother has a 600 horsepower Ford van? I call bs unless you have proof of that. I don't know of any tuner who has added another 300Bhp on top of the E-Series' already 306Bhp V10.
 
Its not a V10 and its not one of the current models. '01 I think. Come summertime when he pays off the 15,000$ on the motorwork he had done. I'll be sure to post the dyno stats from it. Currently its sitting in the driveway with a cover in it.

Edit: And if you don't believe it. I'll go take pictures of all the parts going into the engine when it comes back.
 
So, your brother dumped $15,000 into a Ford E-Series engine just to get 600Bhp? It's either really cool, or really pointless. What good is 600Bhp going to do in an E-Series, anyways?
 
Eventually, he's going to turn it into something. Either alternative fuel limo, or offroad beast of some sort. He's going to make it into something just not sure what yet. 600bhp in a vehicle that has barely any frills = fun.
 
Today:

BMW Z4 Coupe (I think it was an M-coupe, but not sure as it has a few non-standard parts on it). Looked damn nice either way.

And camo VW Type 2 panel van, which was just plain awesome. Image is a bit noisy as light was getting low and the photo was taken on my phone cam.

That's one of those ridiculous custom F-650s. You're looking at over $100,000 easy for one of those suckers.

Turned into UK money that price actually doesn't seem so bad. Would be roughly the same as a Range Rover.

You'd have to be clinically insane to drive an F-650 in the UK though.

(Apologies for double post)

Yo, dawg, I heard you like vans so we put a pair of Vans in your van so you can wear your Vans while you drive your van....I'm done I swear.

In USA money it is about 40% more than a Range Rover.

Oddly this one was on Tennessee 'Univ of Tennessee' plates & had, of all things, a Lamborghini of Atlanta plate frame! Weird spot for the winter...

Agreed - I think they're just the regular wheels, painted.

Is that a real rich/posh area?

No.

Dude, I gotta get up to Lenox soon!!! Winter obviously ain't an issue up there like my dad said it will be. Lol! -kevin

DO NOT come in winter. It takes quite a bit of work to eek out the spots that Andrew's getting, and you'll note, as he said, even with the work he's putting in he's not seeing the high-dollar sports cars. I haven't seen a new Gallardo in Buckhead since the end of August - all just repeats of prior ones. Hopefully the economy will improve with the weather and by April we'll see a few more exotics.
 
Well, gentlemen. I think I'm done with car spotting.

I'd like to think I've given you some nice sightings in the past, a few of which are yet to be seen by any other members. If you dont mind I might put a few of my favorite spots here as a farewell to car spotting.

This will forever be my favorite of all my spots. I was 14, hadn't really seen a nice car before and this showed up.

Merry Christmas and I hope all of you have a great 2009 for spotting.​
 
Hey Alex are you really gonna stop with car spotting?

Today.




My first TVR Griffith.
In GT4 that car looks bigger.




Renault Clio Sport.
 
Nice spots serge, and yes. If I see anything spectacular that I happen to bump into I might take a couple of shots and show them here, but I'm no longer an official spotter. I've seen every car I wanted to and can hang up my car spotting boots. :)
