OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD
I'd just been to a car detailing meet miles away from home, came down the road from the meet and saw this parked behind some bushes in a car park! I have no idea if I ended up trespassing to get the shot but it was worth it. I parked up next to it to have a look inside but didn't get any more shots incase I was on private property.

I parked up next to it to have a look inside but didn't get any more shots incase I was on private property.Went to Cars&Coffee.. as usual, the Vector WX3 showed up as did a few LP640s, but there were no Gallardo LP560s (or, I didn't see any), and no Viper ACR.
Highlights included a couple of realllly nicely tuned S2000s and NSXs (seemed to be S2K/NSX week), a Goggomobil, an Iso Grifo, a 370Z, a Fiat Dino convertible, and some weird old Lancia thing.. and 2 Gulf-liveried GT40s (or kits),... and the list goes on.
Camera died on the way there
Also, freaking Irvine police have started showing up, so nobody does burnouts anymore, and most people don't even rev the engine too loudly or accelerate too fast while leaving...

I saw one of them about 2 days back, I'll upload photos in a bit, just have to find them.
They are, really, really nice cars in Abarth form.

Because the event got very close to being completely closed down. They're not putting up with that anymore.

I'm trying to upload the full size image but Imageshack is resizing it to 800 pixels wide every single time even when the box is unchecked and I can't find another host capable of uploading the photo without failing. 
Here's the biggest I could get it for now;

Flickr resizes it to 1024x681, the original file is 2500px wide!
Here is the only place I could find as a decent host for the original;

Great spot on the Abarth, Moglet! Absolutely fantastic looking cars.
I saw this today, new M3 saloon:
Sooo much better looking (and cooler) than the coupe version.

And about AU15k cheaper.
Also, I am loving that abarth 500 Moglet. I've been firing emails to Fiat Aus for the past year on its arrival here downunder only to find that it has been delayed indefinitely. Australia sucks.

Brilliant shot Moglet!
As for files sizes, as others have mentioned, you can store much higher rez shots on Flicker, Photobucket, and other sites, but not the free versions.
As did Gerald Wiegert, the designer and founder of Vector Motors... and a crazy genius!
There was at least one LP560. It was yellow and did a drive through after they reopened the gate. I also thought I saw an ACR, although I'll have to go back and check my shots. Vipers are not my kind of car, so I don't really know all the different variations, but if I find that shot I'll post it and all the Viper fans can clue me in on what it is.
It was a very nice turn out... despite the 40+ NSX's that caused the lot to fill up just a little past 7am. Only at Cars & Coffee will you see them telling someone in an Aston Martin DBS that they couldn't let him in as the lot was full. The look on his face was brutal.

Another relative rarity today:
Not the best FTO I've seen, but at least it's not overboard with the mods, and I quite like them without the rear spoiler too.
I'm wondering if someone in the area imports cars from Japan, as this was in the same place I saw the Cappuccino a few days back, as well as a Nissan Figaro, Nissan S-Cargo, and Mitsuoka Viewt too in the past.

The Audi above = Audi A5. You're right in thinking the S4 (and indeed A4) are 4dr. 👍
And nice 205. I saw a really clean one a while back. They stand out a mile amongst all the tatty ones and modified rubbish.

Ah, an A5. I could have sworn it looked different on the website 360° viewer! So it's not really that special I guess, it was still an awesome thing though. Absolutely huge!

Well I thought I took a picture of it, but so far I have not found it. Here is a different Viper, but I have no idea who owns it or what specifically they have done to it, only that it was certainly striking in appearance and exhaust tones.
