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

[CyborgGT]

Saw this on my bike ride last night. I'm not sure what it is, I didn't take the time to check it out. Didn't someone post one of these recently? Maybe on another thread?

 

[exigeracer]

Austin Healey Bug Eye Sprite.

 

[land sea air]

A very good looking example at that. Appears to be on Minilites or at least decent knockoffs

Really? Check the paint condition and the seats

Really? Check the paint condition and the seats

paint looks fine to me for a 40+ year old car (though it probably isn't original). Seats are a strange switch but they might be more for comfort than sport.

 

[buickgnx88]

Haha those are Fiero seats, note the speakers in the headrests!

Anywho, the paint looks fine to me as well...just appears to need a wash.

 

[land sea air]

You sir, are correct!!

 

[CyborgGT]

The paint didn't look to bad in person; it's probably just the sunlight making it look faded.

Exigeracer, thanks for the I.D.

*EDIT* - Does anyone know if the Cars and Coffee events are open to public viewing, or are they just for the owners of the cars? The Denver events are starting soon and I'd love to go to one.

I'll finish what I started...

So, these and above are from yesterday evening. Low light means some of the pics are somewhat grainy.


Bentley and Rolls

btw, welcome to the DYSAGT thread. You've certainly made a promising start to your spotting career!

What Bimmer is that next to the rolls? X3??

Nope, 1-Series with some aftermarket rims by the looks of it.👎

 

[homeforsummer]

I know we don't normally post stuff from shows, museums etc, but I saw this today in the Discovery Museum in Newcastle and thought it was pretty cool:

The chassis is that of an Austin 7, which was to the UK as the Ford Model T was to the USA, and was produced between 1922 and 1939. Suspended above, as you might have already identified, is a Sinclair C5, widely accepted as one of the great automotive flops!

Nope, 1-Series with some aftermarket rims by the looks of it.👎

1-Series with some AC Schnitzer aftermarket rims. Not getting a thumbs down or a yuck from me...

I like it.

I got shots of a Plymouth Fury III and Jag XJ12 (I swear, Fort Collins is the British capital of America...) today, I'll post them later. A Plymouth Prowler escaped me for the second time! I thought I saw him pull into a parking lot, but when I got there not a minute later he was gone .

Hmmm never seen a 1 series (wagon, suv, what ever that is) here in SF...

It's a 5-dr hatchback (also available as a 3-dr), and you won't have seen them because they don't sell them in the States. What you do get in the States are the 2-dr coupe and convertible versions 👍 (Links go to pics of each).

Yea, not my cup of tea the ones here...But I am liking that hatchback! thx for the (I won't see them) shout

 

[Beerz]

The one side to it is a 1 Series rolling on AC Schnitzer wheels (replicas apparently), they don't look like original ones.

Don't see why they wouldn't be originals. Loads of Bimmers here have those ACS wheels.

Half of yesterday. Got to go out suddenly, will post rest later. 996 and 997 GT2's my faves of the day!

Audi R8

Cadillac - Super weird and rare to see here. So rare in fact that I almost didn't see the 996 GT2 behind it!

360 Spider

Gorgeous 550 Maranello - Wish the brakes were black or silver though

F355 Spider

Exige S

R32 GT-R - Frustratingly missed the front

944 Turbo

996 GT2

996 GT2 lookalike - 10 points if you know how to tell it's not a real GT2

997 GT2 - First clear photo I have got of one

Rolls Corniche

 

[Joey D]

From today and tonight on Woodward.

Dodge Viper, nothing special but whatever.

An Aston V8 Vantage droptop at The Home Depot. I want to reach a point in my life where I can take an exotic to the home improvement store.

Kate spotted this while driving around, it's a Bentley Continental T apparently. Not sure if it's a sub model or anything but only 350 were produced.

Maserati Catfish...errr I mean Gran Turismo

Aston DB9 droptop

Now for something epic, a Mosler MT900S...that's the street legal one. Chassis #008 is as far as I can figure out from the Mosler website (Link). According to wikipedia there are 2 MT900S's in the States and one belongs to George Lucas.

It drove by and I gave it a WTF and thought it was a McLaren at first, but Kate and I spotted it at AutoEurope showing off to a bunch of F-body guys so I quickly did a Michigan left and parked to score a picture. I have a couple videos to of the guy setting of the car alarms, I can post them if people want.

A Mosler!

 

[zonderf]

Holy ****, awesome Mosler!!!

Mine from yesterday and today...

Gallardo in a pretty nasty storm

Corvette Grand Sport

Who says red 430 coupes are rare? also a 355 spyder

V8V convertible

TR

Old Continental

blurry R8

CLK 63 Black Series

 

[CyborgGT]

Wow, the Mosler, CLK Black, F430s (as often as they're posted, I never get tired of looking at those). Nice spots

Curse crappy night-time picture quality! This Caddy was excruciatingly beautiful. It's parked where that GMC rat was a couple nights ago; if it's there again tomorrow I'll get better shots.

XJ12

Plymouth Fury III

Here are the rest...

V8V

Bentley

Anyone?

Exige grabbed off my phone's video - Fluro green

ML500

GTT

GTR - It's just silly how many of these things are on the roads here now. I can't believe Nissan isn't selling them here officially. Someone's making a killing!

GTR

GTR

S15

Techart Boxster

993 Clubsport

Rolls-Royce

 

[Boffin]

these cars all look to be on the same road grinding their way to work. How cool would it be to live in an apartment on the side of the road!

The ML500 drivers obviously have something to hide....even the headlights are tinted - yet strangly I can see the people inside.

Man, if only I could see all those GTRs!!!! You got to admit, it looks great in black.

 

[Rue]

They're all on their way home from work, hence the low light conditions. I think that ML is pretty cool in fact black on black seems to be quite de rigeur in Hongkers. I could see Darth Vader driving any one of these...

 

[CyborgGT]

What version is this?

 

[MinoltaMan89]

What version is this?

Taking a guess, it looks like a Challenge with flat-black paint, but it might be that supercharged one, can't remember the name.

Rue, I thought those black-on-black cars would never end!

 

[Rue]

It's a Novitec Rosso 430.

 

[kevinm]

Some awesome spots recently!! A Mosler!! Rue- those murdered out rides are all sick!! Don't like the 993 or994 Porsches blacked out. Zonderf- that TR was at the Ferrari Challenge:

Speaking of the Challenge here are my pics:

Not all of them are on here yet. Keep up the nice spots everyone! -kevin

Yeah, too right! Joey, I tried to comment on your spot from my cellphone earlier today but looking back through the thread it didn't work. Great spot! 👍

BLACKNESSNESS

MOST AWESOME POST IN HISTORY OF THIS THREAD.

You only lack a black 69 Camaro, a black 32 Ford and so on, but no one's complaining, haha
