The sun messed up the brightness of the car a bit 
Oh, and you probably mean right hand drive, since they're from the UK.
Other than that, good spot.

Not only the sun messed up the brightness,it was also a little bit dirty.
And your right Bert,it's right hand drive not left hand drive.

I was out picking up my dry cleaning today and on my way back home, I spotted a '64 Austin Healey. He pulled into a petrol station and I turned in to talk to the owner for a few minutes. That is how I found out exactly what it was; otherwise, I would have just been guessing. The owner told me he had swapped a 5.0 V8 into it, but my car actually had more power than it and that the 5.0 had not been warmed over at all. Still, very neat to see and I hope to see the car driving around some more, as I managed to run into him again on the road after stopping by 7-Eleven before I headed home.

That looks to be about the same shape as the one I saw.

In supposed chronological order:
Cadillac unknown
I'm dying to know what model this is, or even if "1940" is a good guess. It's beautiful.
Pontiac GTO 1967
Since the northeast isn't known for it's classic muscle cars, there's a real lack of good muscle car shops. The few owners end up getting their stuff fixed & maintained at places like this, an otherwise unspectacular gas station.
Plymouth Barracuda 426 Hemi 1970
Or this one (posted again for the dude south of the border).
Hummer H2 Rampage
"Rampage" is just about right. "Crap" would be right, too.
Dodge Magnum SRT8
Is it really Darth Vader's car? Or did we see that once or twice before?
Mini Cooper S GP
Not pictured are the awesome tight streets and steep hills of eastside Providence that this thing is perfect for.
Nissan Sentra SE-R 2007
As I was renting a bog-standard Sentra 2.0 (same generation) while my Honda was in the shop (moron in a van thought no one would notice an illegal left into my driver's rear quarterpanel), I feel I had to post this. This SE-R must be a total revelation compared to the 2.0 because this had to be the worst Nissan in history. Just...awful...on all fronts. You name it, it sucked at it. The SE-R pictured must be as rare as it is because it simply does not deserve the badge stuck on it's substantial and sluggish rump.
Audi S8
"Larry, tell Vincent what you'll need." "Something very fast. Audi S8 . Something that can shove."
Yeah. Well, Larry, I tell ya, this thing can 'shove'.
Porsche 911 GT2 2009
In Portchester(*). With ski racks?!
(*)Portchester, while not exactly the South Bronx, is more likely to house run-down Honda's than anything from Germany.
Most importantly: The Unknown Under the Blanket
I'm of the opinion that this is a Marcos TSO GT/GT2. In Rye, New York. Any takers on that?

I saw something INCREDIBLE today! Does that count?
After work i popped into town to buy some headphones to use with my pc and for online gaming with a couple of mates. Upon returning to my car i spotted something odd coming down the road, from a distance and whilst i could only see the roof and the hood it looked like some big old lincoln with a gnarly hood scoop. I waited for it to come down the road a bit more, as soon as i realised what it was, my cameraphone was whipped out of my pocket!
i got a 4 sec video of it driving past (wrong button!) and then ran to the car in order to persue!
(video to come soon, uploading later)
I ended up about 5-10 miles away from where i live, whereupon i discovered its home as he pulled into the driveway. Just cannot believe my luck!
A Bolero red 1974 Aston Martin V8!
I spoke to the guy and he told me what year it was and also said it was all original, no respray or anything, incredible for a 35 year old car!
Stood next to it, i was actually shaking. This is my dream car, in my favourite colour, i was dumbfounded!
I took 24 photos, most can be seen in my photobucket -> http://s451.photobucket.com/albums/qq232/Bondy_2225/Did i see anything good today/
Now i know where the guy lives i might just pay him a visit sometime when i've got a much better camera with me, of course i'll offer to print out some photos and possibly make a disc for him.
^ Closest i've ever been to any Aston Martin! ^
^ Not bad for a cameraphone huh? ^

Great spot bondy. 👍
Elise.
Today while I was on the bus I saw a Honda S2000(silver with black roof) parked at the trainstation parking,but at the time I came at the parking ,the car was allready gone.That's where I saw the Elise.
And just at the moment that I was going on the bus I saw a red 999 RS,that's two good spots(IMO)that I missed today.

Congrats to everyone for breaking the 17,000 posts mark! 
It's a Toyota Mark II which marks the 35th year of the model. This particular one is a limited edition but I'm not sure how many they made. This car has gotta have one of the longest names ever.

My next-door neighbours new ride. He's gotta be careful how he backs into that space!

Nice day today:
Maserati Gran Turismo:
(Had to throw in this pic cause it looks so mean!)
DB9 Volante:
190E (How rare is this car and what makes it so special?)
Maserati Spyder:
Now the car show pics:
Old/new 95 Camaro made to look like a late 60's one (there were 3 of these):
Detomaso Pantera spotted on the road, then it showed up at the show:
Also a V8V on the way home. Must have been going 90. We caught up and I got film, but no pics as it was dark. -kevin
