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

[exigeracer]

Vrrrrroom!

 

[Tornado]

I hate A-body cars.

 

[Turbo Lag]

997 (I think the first Turbo I've seen in person)

Are Turbo's really all that rare? I see quite a lot of them in my area for some reason and never bother to take photos. Only 911s I take photos of are GT3, GT2, and the odd older models.

Not today - yesterday, in fact:

Only around 50 meters away from where I saw the older Quattroporte V8 a couple of months ago.

 

[Cano]

Vrrrrroom!

awesome! and it has tingling antennae!!

 

[exigeracer]

Yeah I had no motivation in cloning out that lamppost. I just took the photo because it had my country's colours.

 

[eschey]

Sorry about the crap quality, I only had my cell phone at hand. Anyway, today I saw an M5 (hard to tell in the pic but its got the M5 badge) and a decent looking skyline (R33 i think but correct me if im wrong).

The skylines are pretty common around here but since I saw a previous post saying you guys wana see stuff like this (?)

In my city they're rare; I live in a college town, which I hear in general aren't very good for too many high-end cars (though I've posted a few; even a couple ultra-rare special editions; according to Doug, there even used to be an MC12 here). But yes, in big cities, they are pretty common.

This evening. Lotus Exige S in matte black. Best car I have seen ever. Also rare colour CLK55 AMG.

 

[Blitz187]

Matte Black Lotus is NNNIIIIICCEEEEE 👍

 

[homeforsummer]

Nice Lotus. Stealthy...

Today:

Citroen 2CV van. Not exactly a common sight in the UK.

Next to that, was this:

I expect it was in being re-trimmed, as it was outside a leather and trim store!

 

[Giancarlo]

Now, this, more than a riced Bug, is a testament to the owner’s incredibly stupid ingenuity… WHAT THE HECK are those tubes doing there? Ram Air? Tuba Induction? Yeah, to the spare tire… I dunno, this was so weird. It just needs a hose.Red bumpers, owner’s name written, Scream… pish posh.

Well i'm just guessing, but maybe he connected those tubes to the "fresh air system" that Beetles have. Usually air goes through the small vents on the hood under the windshield, through a plastic device that diverts it to small vents inside the cabin. The tubes are probably much more efficient.

 

[Prosthetic]

Hey look! They put the steering wheel on the wrong side!!

 

[kevinm]

That Exige is incredible!! Wow!

Hey Zonderf- what's the name of the yellow Ferrari racer. The one that was doing laps with the 333SP? Thanks! -kevin

 

[homeforsummer]

Hey look! They put the steering wheel on the wrong side!!

Being an Aston anything other than the right is the wrong side

 

[Stevisiov]

The Exige is really something else

 

[zonderf]

I have no idea who was doing laps in the 333sp, the only two people who I know were driving were Rik Bryan in the TDF Blue FXX and Preston Henn in the Yellow FXX.

My only spot for today was an Elise.

 

[Joey D]

Brilliant Aston spot!

And the weather in Georgia looks soooo inviting, especially since it's 40 and snowing/raining here.

 

[Mad94d]

This is one of our friends race cars. It is a Lotus(obviously), but it has an S2000 turbo powering it. Very fast, wheelspin in 4th apparently. Also uses a standard H-pattern gearbox.

 

[Boffin]

man, if only my parents were friends with racers and bought AC cobra replicas

On the upside, my dad is good friends with some guy in England who has a DB6 like the one shown a few posts back. I don't want to see this in the "rediculus clain" thread as I have only evey seen one picture of it...but I'm going over soon and will hopefully get to drive it. (he's that sort of guy).

A better photo of the MR2 in my village

Toyota '?' read something like Rummikub - Never seen one before

Porsche 997 GT3

Beautiful Mercedes S

Mazda 6 for Cano

 

[Boffin]

That merc looks like a 6.3 Grocer. Nice car

Think it's a standard 600. Lovely car though isn't it!

 

[Boffin]

I'd have one over a modern limo for being driven around in

 

[land sea air]

Beautiful Mercedes S

that's a 600, they are all called Grosser but only as a nickname regardless of wheelbase.

Two sweet cars. Nice.

It's a Scion xB here in the states, I think it's called the Corolla Rumion in other parts of the world.

 

[homeforsummer]

So, I've finally seen one on the road:

White is a good colour for it.

 

[Roo]

Liking Rue's Merc and homeforsummer's 2CV van 👍

From me, a Grinnall Scorpian.

 

[daan]

Hideous paint job on the Scorpion

He might at least have painted a scorpion on instead of a snake...
