^^ Can't go wrong with one of those.

Saw this awhile ago though

 

[Joey D]

Apparently Kid Rock has a Ford GT that looks like that.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

I don't belive that one was his. It was at the air race just driving around without much attention, well besides it being a Ford GT.

Here in this small town, I never really see anything interesting. Then today I saw this:

Fortunately I had my cell phone with me. Unfortunately I had my cell phone, and not an actual camera. I've got to start bringing a regular camera with me everywhere, just in case.

Why does it say racing instead of Rothmans ?

your not allowed to advertise smoking in motorsport.

 

[Glanza-V]

your not allowed to advertise smoking in motorsport.

Oh right, I forgot that, like the way the jaguar in GT4 Doesn't say silk cut right ?

no idea

Yes and all the F1 cars over the years not saying "West" or "Marlboro" etc.

I think its all a bit silly really, how many people decided to smoke just because their favourite team was sponsored by a tobacco company? It took away one of the greatest sources of sponsorship (not to mention great liveries).

Seems a bit silly that the livery would have to be changed on a historic vehicle. 👎

There's no reason why a historic race car wouldn't have tobacco advertising on it. Many of the cars that race in the Historic Group C series still run Silk Cut or Skoal Bandit liveries. Chances are that at some point in period, the car had to run without the proper full Rothmans livery.

I would imagine that the car made some televised appearance. Some of the prohibitions applied for a broadcast ban of cigarettes.

Probably not that interesting to our US members, but... what is this I see coming towards me?...

Not often you see Ford Crown Vics in the UK. Certainly not taxi ones and even less frequently ones advertising strip clubs

 

[TheCracker]

Looks like the 956 ran in this 'Racing' livery when Bellof did the 6'11 lap record of the ring.

that last post would be awesome if they were all caught at the steet and not the show. the ones that are in the street are, however, very cool. Can I have close pictures of the Maverick? It seems to be a rare Grabber.

Lets make this correct:The "old Triumph" is an MGB, the "old Falcon" is a Chevy Nova II 4-door, the Chevy truck is a Ford truck, the red Firebird is a Trans Am, the flat-black hot rod is no Model A but a 32 Ford, I think the military Jeep is a VW Iltis but could be very very wrong,the "another Coronet" is either a GTX or a Road Runner, or at least a Satellite Sport, all Plymouths, the "no idea" is, I think, an Austin, the "Old Chev" is a 1938 Ford standard, the "Ford tuck" I think is a 1931 chevrolet but could be something else, but no Ford at all, and the old Pontiac is a 74 GTO, the last of the breed. All in all, good cars!!

I'll try to grab more pics of the Maverick when I'm out in that area again. The firebird is an actual firebird. I know the owner quite well, its no Trans Am. Thanks for the corrections!

Awesome!

 

[CyborgGT]

*oops, I thought I clicked on the Shows topic*

 

[homeforsummer]

Awesome!

Thought you'd like that one You might be able to answer a question for me. Are most taxis actually the P71 versions rather than regular Crown Vics? When I was over there quite a number of them seemed to have quite a few clues that they were ex-Police. Even to the point of having a little hole in the A-pillar where the spotlight would go.

Just going by the cabs I see in DC I would say at least 75 percent are P71, most still have the functioning spotlight and the mounts behind the grille for extra lighting. strangely enough, many of the cabs around here have toyota camry hubcaps for some reason

 

[exigeracer]

Some of the Impala taxis here are the SS versions, only because Chevy couldn't actually sell them other than as fleets.

most of the impala and taurus police and cabs in DC have v8s without all the other performance goodies, pretty interesting combo though, I don't think you could ever buy a FWD impala like that and the non SHO v8 taurus are extremely rare.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

These aren't super special but I don't see them often

Yellow Saab 9-3, Just the yellow part is new, not that great though

Hummer H3T, eh

A Range Rover model I don't see often

Porsche, It had black wheels so it was nice

New Ford Taurus

There is a Caparo plant right down the street of where we were and then this trucked showed up. Kind of random for Novi Michigan.
