Did You See Anything Good Today? [Read First Post]

[homeforsummer]

Oh, I'm familiar with TRD for decades now, but I was wondering if there was a special version of the FJ, or just some factory aftermarket parts. I'm not interested in the latter.

I think there was a TRD special edition. Lots of references to one on google.

Very nice spots, Speeds!
Cool pics too.

Thanks Beerz I hope to start taking photos of more cars that I see.

Very very nice spots, Speedster502.. The Ferrari is gorgeous

Thank you very much! I tend to go down to Sheringham (The place I saw both of these cars) quite frequently so I'll keep a eye out for more cars like these!

Awesome CS, I really like how it looks with the stripe!

Thanks, I must admit if I hadn't got the stripe I don't think I would have noticed it. It kind of slipped itself away into the car park as it was, if my Dad hadn't pointed it out then I probably would have missed it completely!

The other cars which I missed getting shots of were a Aston Martin DB9 (with sports pack), Lotus Elise 111R and a mint condition Morgan. I wish I'd got a photo of the Morgan and the Aston...

 

[stumpydino]

a selection from the weekends shows

most would have settled with a savage

there was a HSR as well but iv snapped that one before

oh yes, now id seen this earlier, and it was pointed out a few odd things that someone had whacked some badges on, and it was registered a 340 so one would assume it was actually nothing special

turns out it was justified

Where/what/when was the second show?

Where/what/when was the second show?

the easter monday 'Spring Vehicle Meet' at picket piece near Andover (no i've never heard of it either)
but apparently its been going 18 years! it was almost a 'wheels day take two' 👍 had a flyer stuck on the car at a show earlier this year so we thought we'd take a look and it was surprisingly good good turn out and only £3 in

Thank you for that, I'll have to try and remember for next year. I couldn't have gone this year, I spent most of my Bank Holiday Monday on a varity of trains.

Today I went to Thruxton for a test day for the TOCA support series. These are the cars used for public driving experiences:

Plus a bundle of Caymans and RX8s.

 

[Brett]

That E-Type is the definition of FUBAR.

I think that would be an accurate description of the car.

 

[zonderf]

I don't know what this one is, some kind of Bentley

[Barracuda]

I really wish I had a better camera because the sky was absolutely perfect. I took some other pictures with great angles but they came out blurry unfortunately.

 

[Alex.]

That first pic came out really well dude 👍

 

[buickgnx88]

'Tis the perfect muscle car stance!

 

[Rotary Junkie]

'Tis the perfect muscle car stance!

Not quite. Needs more rear tire and the nose up more.

 

[buickgnx88]

More rear tire, sure. Nose up more? Heck no, unless you're going for the gasser look.

 

[stumpydino]

few more from the weekend

dbs

bond equipe, triumph six powered thing, was quite respectable until reliant took over...not amazing but also not common

jenard jabeka, 1 of 1 left, i overlooked this at first thinking it was some kit car but i discover it is another brit shed built roadster using austin or coventry climax engines

Not THAT much higher, just noticeably more level.

 

[Beerz]

I think front is good as it is, I'd lower the rear about 4 or 5cm.

1st photo is classy, love the look 👍

 

[land sea air]

stumpy, your last pic looks alot like a Saab Sonnet

My parents told me they spotted a new Chev Camaro near the beach, then later spotted it parked and took a quick picture with their low quality camera phone and sent it to me.

Sorry about the quality but it is better than nothing, considering they are not for sale in Australia or even RHD.

Victorian registered (I'm South Australia) and LHD still, we have large Holden offices here so maybe they so borrowed some to play around with.

For anyone in Adelaide curious it was at Glenelg.

So we're not the only one's who saw them. There was another sighting of one in red, a base model I think, a person on another forum I frequent saw it.

*new Camaro in Australia*

Nice spot! 👍

 

[Sureboss]

I saw that exact E-type in a service station on Monday, must have been one outside Newbury/Reading. Can't think of the name of that services on the A34 though...

There was another 2 E-types there (one was a +2 according to Dad iirc), along with an Audi A5 Coupe, first one I'd seen, looked nice. Quite a few very old cars going up the A3(M), must have been an old classics race. Surprisingly there was an Alfa Romeo in the group which had broken down!!!

Edit: The other I described was like the one next to it, but red.

 

[Rue]

Brabus E-Class

Auto Select GTR

MR2 outside my home

 

[land sea air]

MR2 outside my home

didn't TOM'S actually make a version of the MR2 with a scoop like that? Could be rare.

 

[Rue]

I'm sure it's just all aftermarket parts. I don't think I've seen a standard MR2 here!
