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

[Beerz]

I really wish I had a better camera because the sky was absolutely perfect.

Great shot nevertheless, love the angle.
Sky was too blown out to get it proper, but I still did a bit of photoshop on the pic:

 

[stumpydino]

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...

well that would make sense as the show on monday i took the pic was just off the A34 chieveley?

 

[Turbo Lag]

Brabus E-Class

Am I the only one getting sick of silver-lipped rims?

I never liked them in the first place. Especially on Japanese cars. It always manages to make the car look like some "mad tyte tuner" car. You don't see something like that on a proper race car.

(don't bother finding an exception, I know there's a few.)

Is this owned by G-Smurf (the infamous gangsta smurf).

That E-Type is the definition of FUBAR.

Nah, it'll polish out just fine. Yeah...just...just fine. ... Maybe a little bondo. ... Just a little. ... Okay, it's toast.



Some toys to ponder:

Mercedes-Benz R63 AMG -- FAKE

Since more than a few of us have seen R63's recently, I think it would be good to keep a few things in mind: AMG doesn't change the sheetmetal much, Mercedes sells AMG bodykits as an option on all their cars, and all sorts of badges can be had on eBay for pennies. Note the dual/single exhaust on this 'R63'. A true (truer?) R63 would have a dual/twin exhaust. An easy sign that this is fake. ... Not that I wasn't hoping it was my third in as many weeks.



Audi S6 2001

Back when Audi really knew how to do sleepers. Every sporty Audi from this period was so subtle, even the S badge was subtle.


Honda S2000 CR

Honest -- the badge was there on the side and everything. He took me by surprise in the heavy, but slow, traffic. I tried to find him later, but the street was full of cops for some reason. No illegal U-turns for me. Well, that and it's an illegal U-turn.


Lamborghini Gallardo

It's officially spring in Westchester. Flowers, sunshine, singing birds, and Italian supercars; all sure signs that better weather is here, not just around the corner. Especially when they show up at construction sites.


Pontiac Trans Am 400 1972

GM needs one of these soon. Maybe not this color, but the screaming chicken needs a return. Badly.


Plymouth Superbird 1971

I'm kicking myself extra hard for this one. This shop almost always has something neat in the lot, so I always know to go by. Moments after taking this photo (waiting at a red light), I heard some rumbling behind me. Thinking it was just the SUV behind me with a broken exhaust, I paid it no mind. Turning the corner as the light turned green, I saw the Superbird disappear into the repair bay for the night, preventing me from getting a better shot. Maybe I can catch it tomorrow.


NYIAS: What I caught last week.

 

[Clark]

No pictures unfortunatley but I saw a 190E Merc 2.5-16 Cossie on the way home from work today.

 

[buickgnx88]

Plymouth Superbird 1971

Actually that's a Charger Daytona. Note the mini grille with foglights (turnsignals?) on the leading edge of the nose, while the Superbird has it on the underside of the nose.

 

[kevinm]

I won't bother with the pictures, cause they suck, but instead I'll post the link to my vid of a Lotus Elise flying by:

Sounds great! -kevin

 

[SPhilli911]

An Aston Martin MUTHA****IN DBS!!! Second I've seen in the wild.

 

[Nicksfix]

Correct,and they are turnsignal / marker lamps 👍 , not foglights.
Also the Dodge Daytona Charger was a 1969 model,and the Plymouth Superbird was a 1970 model.

DB9 Volante

Where's the DB9? I don't see it.

 

[McLaren]

Looks like he forgot a picture.

 

[eiriksmil]

Depends on the lip, doesn't it?

I saw loads of good today.. Click

 

[Turbo Lag]

Well I don't mind the same color on the rim and lip, but having dark rims and silver lips just looks weird.

 

[eiriksmil]

Personally I think there's a difference if the lip is straight or stepped. Fully agree with you on straight lips, just looks tame.
Anyway, someone else obviously saw something good today.. Not everyday someone spot your car

Dude, DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE what is wrong with you? ok ok you got the big block chicken, cool, but come ON, how could you ignore the T-bird in front of it? think about me once in a while!!!!

Oh got damn, this thing looks hot, check out the aftermarket wheels, the red brake calipers behind them and the racing seats... you HAVE to get this car in a decent picture. Even getting down your car and snapping it ON purpose. The BMW in the background seems intresting also.



AND!

Jaguar E-Type

There must be something important about this specific E-Type. No one would go through the trouble of carrying one in that condition halfway across Connecticut if there weren't some rather important serial number or something. I suppose it'll show up in Octane two years from now with its full restoration laid out for us.

That has got to be the most destroyed car I've ever seen, and as you know, i've seen my big fat share of rustbuckets. That makes it one of the coolest spots lately. Awesome.


Dude everyone should post half the cool cars you post. but get that T-bird darnitt.

 

[Cano]

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

STUMPY!! I'd like to have some BIG-ASS versions of these!!!! please

thanks in advance

 

[Joey D]

I've been slacking again, anyway from the past week or so.

TDI Q7 Promotional Vehicle, not sure when the actual Q7 TDI's are due out here in the states or maybe they have been. I don't know.

Dodge Challenger convertible, I assumed it was rare since I can't recall seeing one before. Or maybe I'm just not bothered to seek them out as I'm not really an old American car fan.

Bentley Arnage

A great E28 (?) M5, I kept up with him down a twisty road and we exchanged thumbs up and compliments about each others cars at a light. Always cool when people do that.

Maseratti with a cheeky number plate, it's also my challenge to see how many times I can see this car this year. I'm already at 3.

Hummer

360 Spyder, the interesting part is that it had a sheriff number plate on it meaning the guy was a cop or retired cop.

Chrysler Conquest TSi

CLS63 AMG

Roush Stang

 

[Cano]

Japanese modified cars are 10-a-penny here. I don't normally photograph/post them as if I photographed every extensively modified car here I would have a sore arm!

Man, please, PLEASE photograph them. I think me and many, many more users would find them infinitely more intresting than the buncha buncha Ferraris that seem to be everywhere. You'd seem to have a sore arm for snapping those lame things, yet you do not give us all those modded cars... I remember you were quite and enthusiast of modified cars, specially japanese cars, and now look at you... Ferraris! pfeh...

/drama, again

People are just mad on cars. As a quick thought, my village alone has two Brabus Mercs, two Integra Type-R's, two heavily modified WRX's, two SL55 AMG's, an M3 CSL, two 993 Carreras, a modified MR-S, JDM Civic-R (the new one), 4 Skyline GT-T sedans, two Toyota Chasers, an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, a Rolls Royce Silver Spirit II, a Toyota Supra, a Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution, a Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary, a Jaguar XK120, a Mercedes 190SL, a Mercedes 430SL, an original Mini Cooper, a Morris Minor, a Humber, a ridiculous Evo VII that wakes me up in the morning and a Panther Kallista in a bush. And there are about 100 houses in my village. I'm liking the ratio!

Pics of each would be nice (:

 

[mPWRD]

Dude, did you even read the posts after that pic explaining why that is a 430?... It even had pics to explain all the big differences between them.

Wow... epic fail moment on my part...

Ha! Ok mate! Well walking down through my village this morning it seems my neighbour got bored of his Silver Spur and has plumped for something with slightly more poke. The DC2 of my other neighbour seems to have found a friend...

Bentley Turbo R

x2 DC2's

I think I've posted pics of almost all the cars in that list at some point.

 

[Joey D]

I like that yellow teg quite a bit. Something about yellow cars with carbon hoods makes me pull a "do want".

 

[zonderf]

Where's the DB9? I don't see it.

my bad...forgot to put the picture

 

[GT Pro]

360 Spyder, the interesting part is that it had a sheriff number plate on it meaning the guy was a cop or retired cop.

But aren't supercars, particularly used examples, a dime a dozen in the U.S? In your classifieds it looks like you can obtain a good-nic used 360 for just 80k, so it surprises me that not one in atleast 15 Americans are driving them.

Maybe in some parts of the state but not here in the Detroit area, about the only expensive car we have a dime a dozen of is the Vette.

 

[VEXD]

I saw these two:





The guy in the Z4 started telling me how the nose is 15cm longer than it used to be, before I told him I was busy.

👍

 

[Mad94d]

This which my Dad bought for $38,000. Very tough car. Just not painted and no interior done yet. Today was the first time I saw it, I just loved it. Sorry if i'm not meant to post this type of thing here. But it's a tough car. By the way, it's obviously a replica.





If you want more specs, there's lots more in the Holden Fan club. Here
