I also saw a dark grey Tesla in the city on Monday when going to the Giants game. I thought it was a Lotus at first.
I really need to get my digi back from my sister.

Just got back from a gig and saw these beauties. Apologies for the quality, only had my phone with me. Still got 8.1MP though 
Clio V6 (Seem to see a lot of these in Birmingham, any ideas on how to tell if they're fake?)
Aston (V8 Vantage?)

They probably aren't fake. The one you posted certainly isn't. It'd be such a big engineering job to make a regular Clio even look like the V6 that you'd probably be able to afford the V6 in the first place. You can get bodykits for the normal Clio that look like the V6 one but they generally don't have the wider body.
Other telltale signs - the V6 has a longer wheelbase (the rear wheels are pushed right back), wider body, wider track front and rear, no rear seats (natch), and a taller centre console to make way for the transmission tunnel.
And if you see them driving then it's pretty easy to hear the difference.
Anyway, great spot 👍 I'm a big fan of Clio V6s.

Yeah the one I saw was definitely real, it was absolutely spotless. Gorgeous car! It was parked up in a fairly run down area too, it worried me a little to see such a nice car parked in such a poor area.
Then on the ring road we spotted the Aston and the noise it made was godly. I tried to film it but we had the cd player on fairly loud so missed out, then my mate wouldn't catch up with it before he booted it and was gone!

So that's two Veyron's and an Enzo in the background?
What's the red car next to the Veyron? A Carrera GT?It turns out alphabetical order is the right order...this time.
Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante
Food shopping. In a DB7. Nice.
Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante
Two teenage twits in a Vantage Volante.
BMW 3.0 CS
The driver is perhaps 10 years younger than the car.
BMW 635CSi
Gotta give credit for having one of the few 635CSi's not rebadged 'M6'.
Ferrari 430 Spider
A shot from the hip; I just barely saw him go by.
Ford Falcon Sprint 1964
At a repair shop, but in great condition.
Ford GT
Another from the hip. He turned the corner just ahead and, as you can see, sped past. Came out okay, I think.
Ford Mustang Cobra 1993
It's actually more mint than my dirty windshield would lead you to believe.
Lotus Elan 1992
The only front-drive Lotus, I think. What other front-drive cars did Lotus have a hand in?
Maserati Coupe Gran Sport
I posted this a while ago, but it still had dealer tags on it. It has, as you can see, been purchased and paid for.
Maybach 57s
Still have never seen a 62/62s, nor have I seen any Maybach used as a limo. I don't think people around here 'get' Maybach. Better luck in NYC.
Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG 2009
What exactly would it take to upgrade the C63's output to the SL63's (451HP to 518HP)? An ECU reflash? A slightly different intake? Totally worth it.
Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG 2002
Ack! Been caught photogging!
Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG 2008
A few spots down from the Maserati. Amazing what people commute to the train station with. (The Maserati owner is less than a mile away; it would take almost the same time to walk...but far less fun.)
Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG 2006
Either in for repair, or in for a trade.
Packard 160 1941
I've posted this before, but it's such a great car. Can't say 'no' to the Alma Mater.
Saturn Sky Redline
I'm not such a big fan of anything Saturn (the Sky's looks aside), but the color! Oh, the huMANITY!
Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI
Best for last, like I said. Rarer than most supercars, owned by people who would otherwise have bought a Legacy wagon.

Aston (V8 Vantage?)
The engine in the back gives it away! I've seen a couple of CV6's since I've been back in the UK. There are quite a few in Hong Kong too. Not as rare as I originally thought.

I wasn't aware anyone outside Michigan, California or Florida actually bought an SSR, let alone outside the country. Awesome spot, even if it has Ferrari badges on it.
===
For those of you who care, in this months Automobile magazine (US only I think) there is an article about Doug (M5Power) and his obsession with stalking rich people and their cars. I still need to pick up the magazine.
===
Spots from the week:
Finally a GT-R, except he was going so fast I couldn't get a good picture...lame.
Lamborghini Gallardo in a shed.
Hyundai Genesis Coupe, full of win!
Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé, still huge but with less doors.

As far as SSR'S go,come to N.E. Ohio,you'll see more than you want to.
I am liking the F250 over the Hyundai.

I did try looking in but the windows were too heavily tinted to be able to see anything.
Anyway today I saw the following and had a chat with the owner, he goes on tunnel runs in this thing and my god did it sound nice;
I even got a video of him driving away, albeit slowly;
And this was at the meet too;
