Nothing good, but I saw an Alfa Romeo Mito in gloss yellow earlier.

Does anyone know how to get human sick out of a Fiat 500 dashboard?
 
I saw this CLK Black on the freeway on my way to the doctor's today. Very sweet car. Sounds great too. 👍

I apologize for the terrible cell phone pic. Snagging a shot on I-5 in Seattle is tough at ~75.
 
if i wasnt driving i would have snapped a pic over the fence but as i was leaving work next to the docks i caught a glimpse of a transporter with a handful of championship white civics :dopey:
might see if i can have a sneak past tomorrow if they are still there
 
That's because it's a 612 Scaglietti ;)

:dunce: What the heck happened to me? That'd make it the first 612 I've seen in person. How did I not pick up on that....

Your Morgan, like you said, is likely to be a kit. (I'm pretty sure Morgan have never made a four-door either)

Another obvious give-away. I really should sort this out when I'm not so sleep-deprived, but I suppose I get attacks of the :dunce: every so often.

*Edit*

I think i've found it. It looks a lot like a Ghia 450SS. Not a re-bodied Pony car as i expected, but it was built for the US market and it did have a Chrysler V8. Pretty rare too. One of 50 made and only one of 12 that survive apparently.

Ghia 450 SS

Thanks, Cracker! That's got to be it. Naturally, it's just in time for the other DYSAGT thread. :)

Harry- that white 650i you saw is AC Schnitzer-tuned. ACS6 Sport, to be exact.

Cool, thanks! I see it just about every day, too.

:0 a 450SS ghia? No way.

look Harry, you may take horrible from-car pictures, but you are still the BESTESTEST spotter in this thread for me. You always seem to get such a nice balance of old, new, incredibly rare and quite-common-but-still-intresting stuff in every post, plus many muscle cars and rods and stuff. If only you just stepped out of your car and blew some pics...

BTW, sure it's a Packard? It stinks of Lincoln to me.

No, I'm not sure it's a Packard, it's just on the same block I keep seeing different Packard. I really should be better at Googling these cars myself. :-/

As for the lame pictures, some of the times I'm in a bit of a rush and can't really stop, but most times I get apprehensive about taking pictures in the open like that. I'm really self-conscious and need to get over it. "It's just a car parked on a public street." But either way, I think Doug and Rue got me beat just about any day. I have a nice mix, sure, but I'm always looking for something new -- at least new to me.

I was in a car being followed and then following an Aston Martin DBS...

...but was shamed out of getting a photo by the rather attractive female I was travelling with.

I know, I suck.

Well, if she really likes you, she'll accept you warts and all. ;) My girl does. :D

Rue
is just plain amazing!!! And all seen unexpectedly on public roads too by the look of it 👍 👍

The entire area, while the people aren't normally one for being flashy, seems to have been cooped up all June with the never-ending rain. To me, such a 'parade' isn't so surprising considering the last few days have been Californa-like.

Quick 20km jaunt on the bike revealed many spots, however only stopped to take a few photos. I really should get back on the road more often. I've been have some bad foot problems, and I also have a little hook on CoD4, so I haven't been photographing as much as I'd like to. Hoping that'll change over the next few weeks before school starts. Here's the couple I decided to shoot.

Didn't even get off the bike for this one, but I liked the colours.

And more of these are popping up. I'm happy!

Hah! Yes, if anyone is reading from HK we need you to sell your Ferrari's, Lambo's and Porkers and go out and get something just a little bit interesting... ;)

There was a black Nissan GT-R35 parked at a petrol station when I drove down to the south of Sweden yesterday. Didn't see if it had swedish plates, if it had it is one of the very first ones in the country. Looked nice...
