thank you turbo, matt r and I were arguing. HE SWORE it was a gallardo and I personally thought it was a murcielago lp640 roadster. At least I was right about the murcielago part. Thanks again.
 
Saw these the other day but haven't been near a computer for a few days:

Audi TT Quattro Sport

Hard to tell unfortunately from this pic as the owner has specified it in anonymous black, instead of silver, red or blue that show off the black roof. What you can see are the subtle aero bits, the bucket seats, and the chassis brace behind replacing the rear seats.

Mercedes C-Class

Nothing particularly special about the model itself - I don't even think it's an AMG, despite the wheels and the badge - but I often walk past and think how good it looks, especially with the tartan-style trim. Has a small red 'Ring sticker on the back.
 
Drove past the Escort again, it's so gorgeous; has the stripe down the side and everything.
No pics though.

I did however spot this the other day:

Opel Ascona, ignore the bad pics, I was in a rush.
 
I could've sworn I posted some pictures earlier, I even have the new reply page in my history...
 
Anyway,

That's what I figured. I'd heard previous by FChat that Greenwich was closing its doors. Unfortunately, it's not the only dealer on the rocks right now. :indiff:
Alaska (lol), Champion in Long Island, and Boston right? I'm not to surprised Greenwich was closed. They sold like 12 cars in 2 years, and every time I went there, the inventory was the same. I'll still miss them... it was the only Lamborghini dealer near me.
 
Today I saw this '90s Eclipse driving down the road with smoke coming out from under the hood. He didn't get far before his engine exploded. Wasn't a big explosion, more like there was a bang and the guy coasted to a stop. Thing was, I knew the guy and how he had pulled a Clarkson by strapping a giant turbo onto the engine. I laughed...

And this:

So sick... I want one now.

Haven't heard about an Alaska dealer, but I have heard of Boston & Champion closing which means Bentley will be losing a dealer.

Unfortunately, Lamborghini dealers seem to be in a downfall ever since the scandal in California. Even Dallas' dealer has dropped a lot of its inventory. Houston, though; doing extremely well.
 
no picture, but I saw a gunmetal grey TVR Sagaris while on the school run today. First one I ever saw - and I go to the UK quite alot. They don't even sell them in Australia (I'm in sydney). The plates were "TVR" on black plates.

I know I should've taken a picture, but I was late so I had a bit of pace with me and couldn't pull out the phone - plus it was going the other way.
 
Good shots Alex. Like the 275 GTB, DB5 and yellow 'Rossa especially. Interesting 996 with a 993 RS wing too. There seems to be a blue 996 GT3 RS poking in the left hand side of the second pic too.

There WAS a red Countach with gold rims in the garage in front of the 275. Was also a fair few nice cars over by the Scrutineering building.

The Countach, I believe is still in Terry keys motorsport. It has fire damage. I wasn't aware you worked around the circuit Imakuni?

I don't, but I popped in for a gander as I was in the area. Always some tasty kit or interesting information to be seen/hear.
 
scandal? Isn't Greenwich where the guy from chasing classic cars has his dealership? F40 motorsports I believe it's called.
Lamborghini of Orange County went through a scandal where the owner sold cars for well under retail prices, and then never reported the sales to VAG, causing him to close down 2 dealers and taking off with the money. Now, every car he sold to customers has been seized and will be auctioned.
 
I saw a blue Mustang GT with white stripes today,but I was to slow
to make a photo of it.:grumpy: It had Dutch or Luxemburg plates.
Some other cars that I saw today:Carrrera 4S,Carrera S and a SL500.

Nice cars Alex. 👍
