Aston Martin, but I don't know what the model is.

Aston Virage with DB7 wheels and rather high suspension. You can pick clean examples of these up for 30k now!
 
To some of you this might be like posting a Ford Mondeo, but I'd never seen one, ever, until last week: a Saturn Ion, North Carolina registered, parked in a hotel car park in Cambridgeshire. From spotting it on Wednesday to leaving on Friday it didn't move an inch.

*Insert cameraphone excuse here*
 
I finally spotted a new XK somewhere other than the Denver Auto Show. Convertible. I can't find my SD card...

New Camaros are starting to appear as well. Very nice.

Weird, maybe the owners just moved to the UK and they brought their car along. Although I have to imagine it's a royal PITA to get it legal for the roads over there. I know at the MINI dealer they were retro fitting stuff on a Cooper that was going to Germany with it's owners and they were having all sorts of problems getting it to fit spec. Trying to get a Saturn to work must be quite a bit more difficult.
 
I don't have pics because I was driving at the time but today I saw the most awesome Subaru Impreza S204. It was lowered and widened. The owner had obviously spent a lot of money on it.
 
No pics but I saw my first GTR yesterday driving around London! I still got more admiring looks and pointing at my car though :lol:
 
From the weekend.

Jeep Scrambler, I don't think I've ever seen one of these before.

A new MINI Cooper Cabrio in the new Interchange Yellow colour, the drop top isn't bad but that colour is awful. I'm going to miss Mellow Yellow.

Mercedes B200 Turbo, I am so glad the US isn't blessed with these.

Errr.... wait.......

YOu mean that this pic isn't great?:crazy:

Thats a bloody nice picture I tell you.
lol Thank you. :D

I meant, though, that had I known it was parked in the parking lot it's pulling out of I would have gotten better pics there. And I'd stand in a place on the road to get some motion shots. I had bad camera settings, to the pics of it driving are not great. :(
 
I'm fairly sure this is the first "contribution" I make to this thread as far as sightings go... Nothing incredible, but worth sharing nonetheless. Only had my phone on me, so quality isn't stellar.

First off is an Audi S8 with replica Gallardo wheels, sitting alone in a mall parking lot.

And an Aston Martin DB7 Volante, with the supercharged inline-6. Very first Aston I see in the wild, outside a car show. Shame about the smoked lights and aftermarket wheels, however, but an Aston's an Aston.

Welcome to the thread Fred. I was surprised to see your name as the latest poster. Wheels look okay to me.

These things are becoming more and more common, but still a spot. One pulled up into the parking lot at work so why not snap a pic

Black Murc + shadow + crappy phone camera = bad pic

Fred , great find on the Aston Martin,that car is sweet.

Thanks, I actually prefer the old DB7, be it I6 or V12 powered, over the newer DB9 or Vantages... they just look more special in my eyes.
 
I haven't contributed anything for a long while. Here are a few things I have seen around during the last few weeks, when I've remembered to take my camera out. Apologies for some rubbish cellphone pics.

Highlight was the 16M on Sunday (shame about the horrible pic)

All of these are awesome, the 456 looks pretty good in white but I'm not a big fan of those wheels on it.

Here's one from me for today...an Azzurro California 599
