ROO - Love the orange Diablo

Great pics you guys. 👍

 

[zonderf]

Andrew- I think I saw the yellow Gallardo rental you were seeing at Lenox for a while. No good pics, because I saw this approaching whilst I was filming the G:

Also a Ford GTX1, but no good pic of that either. This was at Dream ride for kids event. Apparantley the police convoy left the cruise at the highway and it got a little wild. A Porsche GT2 hit a 430 Just a fender bender and I don't know if it was actually on the highway.

The Gallardo that was there today was a different one, there are two around here and they look exactly the same...only difference is the finish on the rims. I've got a ton of pictures but apparently this isn't the place for them so I'm just gonna put up the picture of the GT2 and 360 on the side of the highway after they hit each other.

after the wreck



now for the real spots for the day...

DB9

V8V

360 Spyder

two different black Phantoms with Texas plates

all red R8, I think this looks awful

Silver Dawn

430

430 Spyder

G Spyder

No offence is meant with this fella's but I don't think this is the thread to post event or show pictures in. Nothing wrong with making a dedicated thread to the event you attended, in fact I would encourage it and I bet more people would check it out.

 

[CyborgGT]

^ While I agree we should keep our show photos to dedicated threads, is anyone against a little preview, linking to the full thread, such as I did? I keep mine in the more appropriate Videos & Photos section, which doesn't get quite as many views as Cars in General.

 

[DKX]

1970 Chevelle SS 454

No problem... but I don't think posting a few pics from a show is a problem.

I heard it was a 430 that got hit by the GT2.... But anyways I like that all red R8! 👍 -kevin

 

[Mad94d]

I saw a few good things today while we were out on a sunday drive in our Cobra. I couldn't get a camera out quick enough but I have to tell someone because I never see nice cars here in Australia. I saw a Nissan GT-R(first one i've ever seen), Aston Martin DB9, a Maserati, and 12 Monaros. Sorry for no pics guys.

 

[Joey D]

A couple is fine I would think, give a bit of teaser to visit the thread you made for the show.

'70 Chevelle SS,'68 Chevelle SS,the 2 '70 Roadrunners,the autographed Shelby.'68 Charger,Falcon (thunderbolt),are just great,very nice.👍

 

[CyborgGT]

Automezzi XIX (full show here):
Just after leaving, I spotted a Diablo at a stop light. Unfortunately I was looking at a map and didn't notice it until I took off . I feel bad for him; if he was heading for the show, it hailed something awful a few minutes later. Good thing the Enzo left just before I did.

Very sexy in person, imo. At least in this color.
...Maybe she's second-guessing the color, I don't know.

Some delivery car that would be, huh?


Street:

It was actually more exciting driving next to this thing than to see the Enzo...

Fiat. Can't remember model.

928s.

[Joey D]

The Fiat could be a 124

 

[Moglet]

FINALLY! After months and months of hunting for it I finally found the Fiat 500 that stalks this area. It's the American Moglet-mobile.

That's exactly the same model and colour as mine too, and I've always wanted those alloys instead of mine. Good spot though, they are very rare in the US!

For now, at least.

EDIt: Now that I look again, it might be a Funk White one instead of Bossa Nova White, but Bossa Nova is the standard colour.

Clicky the picture for a full thread of pictures and comments.

Some more pictures from outside Andersen's Pea Soup restaurant in Buellton, CA. on 17th May on our wedding anniversary mini-roadtrip:

Aston Martin DB9 Volante and Ferrari 360 Spider.

Front view with somewhat less well preserved MR2 in between them and our Mazda.

Our Mazda still looking good parked next to some slightly more expensive kit...

WOW did that thing hit a tree?

My buddy pointed it out and we were both rather shocked to see one. Upon looking at the higher res version of the photo it doesn't appear to have a number plate on the back so it could very well be an import.

A Morgan Aero8

Awesome car, crossed eyed and all. Excellent spot 👍!

 

[Smallhorses]

The Fiat could be a 124

Correct, a Fiat 124 Sport Spider by the looks of things, and given the condition probably a later model like the 2-litre C series.

 

[CyborgGT]

Well, here it is: Automezzi XIX

[homeforsummer]

A few from the past week or so. Haven't had my card reader and laptop in the same place as I've been moving flats.

The Daihatsu Midget II that I promised a while back. Turns out it's advertising for one of those "where there's blame, there's a claim" Ambulance-chasing companies... The smart fortwo in the background of the second photo is theirs too.

Daihatsu Copen. I quite like them, and I realised I don't see that many so decided to take a crappy photo.

BMW M Coupe. Don't see many of these.

And the World's worst photo of a Clio V6 that went past:

BMW M Coupe. Don't see many of these.

Awesome car! I have recently been thinking about picking one of these up in the not too distant future. This'll do...

ohh nice choice.

CyborgGT - they're some real nice cars there. It reminds me of an Italian autoshow I went to last year. Some really nice panteras and a few Lancia Fulvias and Integrales too. The Enzo that you too was awesome - as were the 2 330s 👍

 

[Roo]

Worth a post for the "rarity" - I'd never seen one of these before, anywhere, until yesterday. Apparantly there were over half a million made!

Citroen GSA Spécial.

 

[homeforsummer]

I've got a couple of original brochures for that car

Great spot 👍

 

[Rue]

My dad used to have one. Exactly the same as that one in fact. Then a brown BX GTi (iirc). Comfiest cars ever.

It also had a cool dash...

But I don't remember the car being there on the dashboard?!?

 

[Roo]

Driving home from work in the work van when I saw a flash of orange in a driveway. Shot home, grabbed my camera, and drove back rather swiftly - if it had gone in the meantime it wouldn't be the first time. My dream car as a kid:

Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 VT

It made it down to Goodwood on Sunday:

Maybe the digital bit on the dash was a French-market only option? Or even just on a concept-car version of the BX?

We used to have a Visa in the family. At the time it was tinny and unreliable but now I kinda look back on it with great fondness because it was made in a time when Citroens were still brilliantly quirky and completely honest in their intentions, something they've only recently started getting back to. If I ever got a retro project car, I think it'd be a 70s-80s Citroen. The dash in the Visa - check out the groovy pod on the steering column with all the lights and switches! Brings back memories to me.

[SPhilli911]

It is true the F40 and 288 were heading to a show, but none of the pics above are taken in the show itself.

lol That may be kinda cheating, but the truth is, most of the cars above we NOT in the show. In fact, all but the F40, Diablo SV, Countachs, black Scuderia, Fiat, and black California were not in the show.
